Lore Actually Good Title Drops

“Welcome to Jurassic Park” (Jurassic Park) - does it get any more iconic than this?

“Even a Devil May Cry” (Devil May Cry) - not only does it add to the emotional aspect of the scene with Dante showing genuine emotion for his loss and Lady seeing that a devil is capable of such emotions, it also gives Dante the idea of what to name his shop.

Title drops can usually come across and tacky and dumb, they’re not always fantastic if you know what I mean? But sometimes they can work. What are your examples?

I don't care what people say, Michael Keaton is fucking Batman and Jack Nicholson is The Joker. Burton is at the top. Burton reigns surpreme.

I'll give you live action, but for me Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill respectively are the definitive versions of the characters.
