"Infantry in the open. Fire for effect."
"Excuse me, is this the road to North Piddleswamp?"
"Oh no, you've got my intentions all wrong. I'm actually a very generous man. I just want to share my suffering with everyone around me. Like now, for instance." - paraphrased from a particularly bitter man from Samurai Champloo (Getting your arm cut off will do that to ya, although being a psychopath in the first place doesn't do much for your demeanor either.)
I aim to misbehave.
During a d20 modern game set in a dystopian future where we were running into aberrations, one of the PCs played a Russian who said "That is not creepy or disturbing at all and completely on the level." on several occasions shortly before all Sheol broke loose.
Not really a battle cry, but it has become a running gag.
"Your kneecaps are mine!" - for a particularly feral halfling, gnome, or other small folk (taken from Jan Jansen in Baldur's Gate II)
"Hi ho, hi ho, a murdering we will go!"
"Fire at will!"
"...Which one's Will?"

Ah, I remember a great battlecry I had once. Got a lot of funny looks from people. We had an Inquisitor who would use "By Angradd's Axe I will smite you!" the paladin who would shout "For (insert god here can't remember)." We hit level 5 and my wizard wanted a battlecry because everybody else had one.
Step 1 - Cast fireball
Step 2 - "Burn in Asmodeus' fire!" Note to self, warn the other party members who are lawful good that you worship the lord of devils or there will be questions.

"Your soul is MINE!"
Had a half-orc barbarian once, very broken common. Had a habit of making challenging enemy's skulls into ornaments (usually cod-pieces since everywhere else was full of other fetishes). After a particularly funny and unintentional intimidate check involving a rival half-elf, the line "You great foe! When battle over, happy ending!" while gesturing to the codpiece, this became his go-to battle cry.... "FOR THE HAPPY ENDING!"
I had a feinter rogue that used point up and say "look, a hippogriff!"
Got'em every time.
A good threat I used against the mayor of the town last game session with my barbarian was "I wouldn't send anyone you couldn't absolutely do without..." not a battle cry but mention worthy imo.
"Hey, why are you making such a fuss? So what if I killed your father. I killed my father too, and you don't see my crying about it!"
"I'll kill you 'till yer DEAD!"

Just recently I've had the chance to play a goblin bladebound magus. We started at level five, so he's had his black blade since the start of the adventure. The character is skinned as having no casting ability whatsoever, and all spells are actually made by his black blade. This leads to a lot of moments when the black blade makes smarter choices than the goblin, especially when fighting foes that are resistant or immune to fire.
The goblin's battlecry: "Burn the foe, to a smouldering mass, crickle, crackle, BURN HIS A-"
Blackblade: "Frigid touch."
Goblin: "..."
