How It Should Have Ended is an animated web series that parodies popular films by rewriting their endings. Batman became one of its breakout recurring characters, regularly meeting Superman in a cafe to boast about feats he never actually performed on screen. His smug explanation, delivered in an exaggerated gravelly voice, turned into the series signature running gag and spread widely as a short meme clip. Fans still quote and reuse the line whenever Batman, or anyone acting like him, claims credit without giving a real reason.
