In the movie "Watchmen", the bad guy at the end of the movie explains the whole scheme to the heroes who have arrived to stop him.
Hero: "We can't let you do that." Villain: "Do that? Do you think I am a comic book villain who would explain my master stroke to you if there was any possibility that you could stop me? It was all accomplished 30 minutes ago."
