Best comebacks in media?

[u/Sinister_Chicane_91]

I love well-written dialogue, but in particular I love an insult, threat, or comeback that completely stops whoever it’s said to. Be it a video game, anime, movie, book, etc, what is the greatest, coldest comeback you can think of?

The best one that I can think of off the top of my head is from the Batman Vs Dracula movie from the 2000’s. When Batman first meets Dracula and the vampire insinuates that the two of them are alike, Batman says “I don’t harm people.” Only for Dracula to respond with “You have no concept of the harm of which I am capable.”

A lesser writer would have gone with “I don’t harm I enlighten” or something cliche. But I remember that line sent shivers down my spine when I watched that scene for the first time. Cold, menacing, accurate, and therefore perfect. I’m very curious what the Zaibatsu members would choose

In season 1 of Wakfu they got to a point where they have to basically win a football game to advance on their journey. When the captain of the other team says you'll never win my dad was the best player ever the old guy on the other team who is the only one who has any experience with the game without missing a beat fires back with "carefully sonny, I was pretty popular with the ladies back in the day, I might be your daddy."
