* StrawmanHasAPoint: After Batista turned on Rey Mysterio at ''Bragging Rights 2009'', the latter tried to reason with him by bringing up their friendship with Eddie Guerrero to which Batista replied with "Eddie's dead." While the comment was supposed to be a KickTheDog moment for Batista, he was right in a sense since at that point of time, Guerrero has passed away for 4 years and Mysterio should stop treating him as a larger than life figure and move on. The promo was also treated as a CheapHeat in order to get Batista booed (since Batista look conflicted to say those words) and another attempt by the creative team to exploit Guerrero's death like they did back with Mysterio in 2006.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After his big HeelFaceReturn in 2014 didn't pan out, they had him turn heel after ''Elimination Chamber'' and inserted Wrestling/DanielBryan into the main event of ''Wrestling/WrestleMania''. Dave, however, feels that this shouldn't have been necessary at all, because he didn't even ''want'' to come back as a face -- he knew it wasn't going to end well so he wanted to come back as a heel, which he's more comfortable being anyway.

* NarmCharm: Batista is usually at his most entertaining in the WWE when he’s an over the top heel. His infamous “GIVE ME WHAT I WANT” promo is evidence of that where he forgot what to say to push the bit to the next stage and compensated by going bigger and hammier by several magnitudes in his delivery to make it clear he forgot what cue to make. As a result, the promo hit memetic status almost immediately.

** A popular Batista meme among Filipino fans is turning an old 20 Philippine Peso bill, which features former president Manuel L. Quezon, into a "Batista bill", by folding Quezon's forehead and drawing Batista's signature BadassBeard onto his chin. Sadly, this largely stopped when the 20 PHP bill is given a design update and a coin version (Quezon is still featured on them, though the new artwork of him on the new bill made him being turned into The Animal himself impossible).

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: When he was announced as starring as Drax in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'', many critics and fans thought that, being a wrestler turned actor, he would be the worst part of the film.

Once the film came out, and as shown below, he became one of the best parts of the film.

** Regarding Batista's performance in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' as Drax the Destroyer: In spite of playing TheComicallySerious character, and being a wrestler that took up acting (which typically doesn't work out, with a [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson couple]] of famous exceptions), Batista has moments in the film where his portrayal of Drax movingly comes across as an individual that has lost everything and suffered for it. Critics took notice.
** His role in ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' gave him the chance to stretch his acting muscles even more and show audiences just how good he is. A sample can be seen in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ9Os8cP_gg Nowhere to Run]]'' a short prequel to the film.

** Wrestling/RomanReigns being cheered over him at the 2014 Royal Rumble, considering a year later Reigns' own Rumble victory received arguably an even worse reception than Batista's did. In fact, despite the company's attempt to turn him into another Wrestling/JohnCena, many point out that Reigns actually shares more similarities with Batista, which, for whatever reason, the company seems to be ignoring. He's so much like Batista that those same people believe that Reigns is just better off turning heel like he did, especially after the crappy booking of 2015.
