* The Riddler sits calmly in his cell, waiting for the assassin that he knows Waller will send. It turns out to be Killer Frost. [[MercyKill She promises to make his death quick]]. Riddler, unfazed, asks her if she wasn't the least bit curious why Waller wanted him dead. When Killer Frost says no, Riddler calls her on it. Then, never losing his collected calm, tells Killer Frost, even as she's starting the process of freezing him to death, that he had already figured out how to disarm the [[ExplosiveLeash nano-explosives in their necks.]] And had already done so to himself. To also show himself to be AwesomeByAnalysis, Riddler needs only to see that "Black Spider"'s head was perfectly intact to realize that it was Batman.

* Killer Frost being able to physically the best the much larger King Shark, starting with a kick to his groin, followed up with a wicked bash from her hand-restraints, and finishing off with a slam to the Adam's apple while having him pinned to the floor. Bonus points for being shackled with a power-inhibitor and arm-restraints at the time.

** To put things in perspective, [[spoiler: Joker threatens to kill Deadshot for "touching his stuff" (i.e. Harley). With the clown in possession of his wrist-mounted machine-gun, Deadshot proceeds to walk up to Joker and put the psychopath's gun to his own forehead. He tells Joker that he's out of bullets, and when the clown pulls the trigger, nothing will happen and then he's going get his face beaten in. After a three-count, Joker insists Lawton stop because he's sure there are still bullets in the chamber. He fires once into the ceiling, which gives Deadshot enough of a distraction to punch him in the face, snatch his gauntlet as it falls, and open fire on the fleeing clown. Somehow, Deadshot knew Joker still had one round left, and bluffed him into wasting it. The man sure has one hell of a poker face.]]

** Another one for Harley in that scene for managing to get under the Joker's skin to the point where he gets ''visibly angry.'' And just by taunting him with her current "relationship" with Deadshot, calling Lawton "someone better." And you know how Joker hates to play second fiddle to someone else, even if Harley's little more than a henchwoman to him.

* Harley's unmitigated fury upon laying eyes on the Joker, and one too many jabs at her from the clown. In one single move, she disarms Deadshot (undercover as an Arkham security guard), vaults over him and uses Lawton's own gun to try and murder the Joker. Even when the rest of the security team tries to restrain her, she shrugs them off like it's nothing and still tries to kill him. And the Joker still tries to taunt her. Hell hath no fury like a clown-woman scorned.
-->'''Joker (in his cell):''' Sorry hun, ''(taps the glass)'' bulletproof.

-->''Fires, causing the bullet to ricochet off the walls of Joker's cell, forcing him to dance like an idiot and cower under his cot in order to not get killed.''
** Points go to Joker as well, for being disturbingly calm and collected during the whole thing, minus the freakout after Harley fires directly into his cell. Sure he's a heartless bastard, taunting her like he did, but except for that one moment, you never see him sweat.
