I swear this gag has never not been funny.

I like to think that guy said "nope," walked out of the building, quit working with shady characters, got a new job in Metropolis, and started dating a vet tech. He's doing great now and is the happiest he's ever been in his life.

Oh yeah he definitely quit. He would not get paid enough for this.

Just got employed and I'm supposed to stop Batman😭

And like hell nawww. Like I would have quit that same day.

My favorite is probably in Iron Man 3, when Tony has one of Killian's henchmen cornered, and he just surrendered, saying "I don't even like working here, they're so weird"

Oh, god, I remember this! Smartest henchman right there! 🤣😂👍

Btw the context for this scene is that apparently this guy encountered Batman twice that night and got his shit beat in both times, so he was done with this shit the third time.

Smartest thug Batman ever crossed paths with.

His MCU variant

He remembered that his shift just ended

Or like when

Bro doesn’t pay bills at a hospital lol

He had his eye blacked by Batman earlier , he said he good this time around😂

My favorite part of this is he got that black eye from trying to stop batman in this exact situation earlier. Bro learned his lesson QUICK

“The Mystery of the Batwoman” has more context than this scene clip, because Batman was the reason that henchman actually got that black eye earlier in the film. Batman gave him that look that said:

Bro already had a black eye, he's sick of this shit.

"i dont get paid enough for this shit"

You know for a fact that black eye was from last time he ran into Batman

Doctor Who did it as well.

I love how even this big buff henchman dude is smart enough to know he can't take on Batman, and even realized it would be stupid to even alert anybody.

not really the same but this one will always be funny

If he decided to quit and look for a better job after this, then he's a smart thug we respect.

Thug with black eye: "Hey, boss, I gotta put in my two weeks... Yeah, I got a better offer at Wayne Tech, workin' security. Weirdest thing, it just, they called and offered me the job outta the blue. Mr. Wayne *himself* made the call! I can't pass this up!"

How to express your hero's ability without showing off.

Me 1000%. I never understand how there's always an unlimited supply of thugs who think they're the one to finally take down Batman. Unless Bane is with me I'm going home.

Embodiment of "I don't get paid enough"

He later quit his job and joined the Wayne industries security team and got promoted

It works because he got his ass kicked by Batman the other day. Poor goon was terrified

“I do not get paid enough to start shit with Batman of my own volition. I barely get paid enough to do shit when the boss man points and says “get him!” In fact, I really don’t get paid enough for that either. I’m gonna quit and go straighten out my life.”

Bro was not ready to throw hands. That goon paycheck doesn't pay that well nor does it cover medical or dental

Batman The Mystery of the Batwoman is my favorite Batman movie. He whooped the henchmans ass earlier in the movie and he was not having it again. The black eye is from Batman. 🤣🤣

"Something wrong?" "Nah, just a little bat. He'll fly away by morning"

Yeah I think we're blessed, media hasnt been spamming this like other tropes. Its used once or twice and provides extreme value for each frame. The opening(sometimes they be mid conversation) to instant halt. Analyzing the scene, doing the math, and making the wise decisions.
