YMMV / Miraculous Ladybug S02E8 "The Dark Owl"

• Magnificent Bastard: The Dark Owl is the Akumatized form of principal Damocles and a hammy, Affectionate Parody of Batman. Luring in the heroes by making them think he's endangering a kitten, he manipulates them into getting stuck in his Death Trap. The trap is whipped cream which is too thick to allow breathing, but is not thick enough to be able to swim through unless they give up their Miraculouses to him. Able to go toe-to-toe with the heroes despite only having technology, he intelligently ensures his Akuma, which can be used to turn him back to normal, is not on his person. Returning as The Darker Owl after his first defeat, he takes Marinette's friend Socqueline hostage in order to lure out the heroes and manages to trap them within a Lotus-Eater Machine by utilizing the powers the Pig Miraculous. In both of his appearances, Dark Owl comes incredibly close to winning and even has one of the Miraculouses in hand before his first defeat.
