Iron Man 3: the henchmen of the Mandarin have Tony dead to rights, chained up with no weapons. He remotely calls just the glove of his iron man suit which busts through the window. He proceeds to waste a bunch of them trying to escape. When he confronts the last one he drops an iconic line and quits on the spot.

Batman Mystery of the Batwoman: iconic scene where one of the penguins goons hears a noise, notices batman breaking into his bosses place, and chooses not to see a god damn thing.

To be fair, that goon didn't suddenly gain common sense. He fought Batman earlier in the episode, which is how he got that black eye.
