** The Riddler carries one of these about in almost all incarnations -- it fits the trope (for a certain value of "sophistication") when he's a SharpDressedMan in a suit and bowler hat, but less so when he's wearing spandex (in the Creator/AdamWest[[note]]Early ones; Frank Gorshin hated it and designed the "suit and bowler hat" himself in response.[[/note]] and Joel Schumacher iterations).

** Ozpin is the headmaster of [[ExtranormalInstitute Beacon Academy]] and the most politically powerful huntsman in the whole of Vale; he accordingly dresses the part, wearing a very smart dark green suit and carrying a dark, silver-topped cane. The silver handle of the cane has a delicate vine-like pattern flowing down it. Where the handle joins the shaft, there are cogs and a silver lever. Although it complements his appearance, he can also use it in battle, wielding it like a rapier and using it as a focus to [[BarrierWarrior produce a barrier]] that can even stop the full force of a [[StoryBreakerPower Maiden's power]]. This kind of use does not require activating either the lever or cogs. [[spoiler:Given that his first incarnation favored a magic staff, it's no surprise he'd end up eventually making a more modern equivalent.]]

* Resident MagnificentBastard of the Literature/{{Discworld}}, Lord Vetinari, carries a cane after being shot in the leg in ''Discworld/MenAtArms''; as of ''Discworld/GoingPostal'' it's described as having a silver skull-shaped knob on top.
