When a country, a group, or an individual which might have been expected to tamely accept the theft of its possessions or other bullying fights back, and thus sends a message that it, they, him, or her, is not to be trifled (or f--cked) with by the bully or by anyone else.

After the U.K. retook the Falklands, the Argentines never attempted another invasion, and there was a noticeable drop-off in other types of adventurism by tinpot despots around the world, largely because they had been chastened by the Falklands Effect.

An either voluntary or involuntary (often involuntary) effect that a person may have when walking up to a group of friends. People don't usually notice people with the batman effect when they walk up because they are quiet and dont say anything when they do so, also, it usually scares the person/people that the person is walking up to. Just like the DC comics superhero, Batman, hence the name "Batman Effect"
"WOAH you scared me, i didnt see or hear you coming, it's like you have some sort of batman effect." "Yeah i get that a lot, I don't even do it on purpose, it just happens"

"OMG Pitchfork has just reviewed the new Times New Viking!"
Generic Indie Kid #2: "Shit! Seriously?! That's the new lo-fi noise rock band isn't it?! I'm so downloading that right now."
Metal Head: "The Pitchfork Effect at it's finest..."
