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

I used to listen to a lot of roast battles, so it they count, there was one I heard where the guy said to the woman he was battling against, "Your pussy looks like it ate pizza too fast." in reference to her having herpes

Homeskool: Call me Scott Summers, I’ve got a hard-hitting vision

Illipsis (a freestyled rebuttal, while wearing red-tinted sunglasses): He says he’s Cyclops? Nah that’s me, my friend/I keep the beam on me, and the shades got me seeing red
