* Ceridian convincing [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death herself]] to let his daddy and stepmother go...by asking ''nicely.''

* "Heaven or Las Vegas" Plot: The Zamarons, attempting to refine the process behind the Star Sapphire rings, and figure out what makes the {{GreenLantern}}s tick, capture Earth's Lanterns and their current sweethearts (except Hal - [[AThreesomeIsHot he ends up with a "greatest hits" collection]]), and put them in a bad, theme-park rendition of Vegas. This includes Kyle and Jenny (Jade). [[http://community.livejournal.com/dc_nation/63736.html?thread=3148280#t3148280 Separated from Jenny, Kyle literally stumbles into one of his sillier sexual fantasies]]. He fights through that, only to have a Sinestro Corps member show up. Queue Jenny barging in and brawling said Yellow Lantern on a bed, both of them covered in massage oil. The Sinestro Corps member is teleported out of there. Kyle and Jenny start having a moment...and in comes a Star Sapphire gem. Jenny successfully fights it off, only to have it hit ''Kyle'' instead. She [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight argues with the Sapphire to let Kyle go]]. The Zamarons are so freaked out by both Jenny and the idea that a ''male'' can get nailed by their concept of love that they recall the gem. Manages to be Crowning Moments of Awesome, Heartwarming, AND Funny in different places.

* The ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' short made to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary has a very awesome tribute to the Batman franchise in general that begins with Terry and Bruce taking down a robot duplicate of [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Bruce when he was Batman]]. Shortly after that, they get into a battle with robot duplicates of the Golden Age Batman and the incarnations of Batman that appear in [[Series/{{Batman}} the campy 1960's show]], [[Film/{{Batman}} the 1989 film]], ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', and ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman''.

* In "Cry for Justice" (No relation to the DC story of the same name). the JLA has tracked Dr. Light back to the old satellite where he once attacked Sue Dibny. Light's enhanced powers are unleashed and the satellite;s defenses turned against the heroes. The JLA team are on the ropes - Green Arrow's lost an arm, Hal Jordan is critically injured, TheFlash and Black Canary were knocked out. Ralph Dibny tries to suffocate Light by pouring himself down Light's throat, but it's not working. Then in storms ''Sue'' Dibny, armed with Hal's ring and [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage swearing a blue streak in English and Yiddish]]. She ''literally'' opens up a can of whoop-ass on him, distracting Light long enough for John Constantine to subtly bend the laws of physics in the immediate area to cause Light to blow himself to bits.

* The fact that Plastic Man, I repeat, '''[[ButtMonkey Plastic Man]]''' was able to best Batman when he was still a thief, as in '''before''' he got his powers.

* In the second ''Tales of Metropolis'', Lois Lane goes through some pretty impressive lengths to land an interview with Batman. She swims to Gotham City, punches a thug, and beats him to Penguin's hideout, all the while bombarding Bats with questions and never breaking a sweat. Ultimately she succeeds in getting Batman to tell her six things about his career.[[note]]Batman gets the funding for the Bat-Plane and its fuel from "sound investments," he built the Batmobile itself, he became Batman because he thinks bats are scary, there have been "a bunch" of Robins over the years, his scariest villain is the Ten-Eyed Man, and his most pathetic foe is Killer Moth.[[/note]]

** The short becomes even more awesome in itself when you remember that Batman is one of the most illusive characters in the DC Universe, capable of sneaking past even Superman himself. Lois manages to surpass the Bat in stealth and surprise, much to his astonishment and frustration. Maybe she has a minor in ninjutsu?

** Also when she saw that Jimmy Olsen had been captured by the Penguin, she immediately proclaimed she'd save him. The only reason she didn't do so was that she remembered she was on Batman's turf and that it would have been rude for her to intervene.

* Most of the Titans readers and Titans fans on DCN were less than thrilled with Dolphin as a romantic lead for Tempest, which made the scenes where she is being a bitch to "King of the Woobies" Garth that much more vile, expecially concidering Tula's ghost was fettered to Garth and cannot do anything while she watches the man she loves get abused for ''YEARS''. Finally, the odds get evened, Tula and Dolphin are, due to story events, on the astral plane, fighting. Tula proceeds to take out much pent-up frustration on Dolphin's person with extreme prejudice.

* The plot of "J." Jericho has been trapped inside the heroes' computer system for years, with a nasty technopath and a menacing avatar of a black lion in pursuit, thwarting his attempts to summon help. Thinking he's a hacker, Oracle tracks him down, only for Jerisho's powers to misfire and trap her in the system with him. Queue Oracle realizing that she ''isn't'' confined to a wheelchair in cyberspace and might be even ''more'' frightening there than she was as the original Batgirl.

* At the end of Ra's al Ghul's plague, Batman and Ra's battle each other in Ra's hidden fortress. The fighting is fierce, ending with both fighters sporting grievous wounds, and Ra's is tossed out a window. Batman collapses, believing it's the end for him...only for ''three'' of his Robins (Dick, Tim, and Jason) to show up, stabilize him, and take him back home; with Oracle flying the jet.

* The ''entire'' climax of the [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/tag/olympics Olympics plot]]. The Titans challenge Hades to resurrect Omen and Troia. They win fair, but Hades, JerkassGod he is, decides that he'd rather summon a zombie army that includes the shades of fallen enemies and those they could not save. This ''after'' killing off Titan field captains Nightwing and Arsenal. The heroes are justifiably pissed and do not have to worry about the taking life restriction, as they're just killing the dead.
** Clan Arrow (Ollie, Connor, Mia, and new recruit Tara) picking up Eros's quiver and opening fire on Hades.
** Hal Jordan's BadassBoast:
--->'''Hal:''' You may be a god, Hades, but I was once the wrath of the God Himself. Do you dare risk that I have forgotten all your sins, which were once laid bare for me to see? You have lost. Return Troia and Nightwing to us, and call off your armies, before you face punishment that would make even the Furies cry.
** [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/424837.html And when the heroes are on the ropes?]] [[BattleRoyaleWithCheese In marches Hawkman - Nightwing to his left, Arsenal to his right, an army of fallen ''allies'' backing them]]!
** [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/424837.html?thread=8750213#t8750213 Krypto vs Cerebrus]] in a literal dogfight for the ages.
** The Speedster brawl. [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/425203.html?thread=8678387#t8678387 Zoom versus three generations of TheFlash]] - Bary, Wally, and Bart.
* [[http://community.livejournal.com/jla_watchtower/1035178.html?thread=29423530#t29423530 Cry for Justice]] (NO relation to DC's arc): Dr. Light has the whole JLA on the ropes. Elongated Man made a last-ditch attempt to try killing the guy, but could not bring himself to use lethal force...even against Light. Just when all hope seems lost? In walks MRS. Dibny, armed with a GreenLantern ring (ItMakesSenseInContext), [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage swearing at Light in Yiddish]], and opening a literal can of whoop-ass on the guy. Frost it off with [[MagnificentBastard John Constantine]] bending the laws of physics just enough so Light blows himself to bits.

* "Cry for Vengance" (NO relation to DC's): Dr. Light has the JLA on the ropes, critically injuring Hal Jordan and The Flash. Light's cut off Green Arrow's shooting arm, and Ralph Dibny cannot bring himself to kill. In strides ''Sue'' Dibny, armed with Hal's ring, swearing at Light in English and Yiddish, and opening a literal can of whoop-ass on him. Light's so shocked he takes his eyes off John Constantine...which proves a BIG mistake.
* Ceridian convincing [[TheSandman Death herself]] to let his daddy and stepmother go...by asking ''nicely.''

* The BattleRoyaleWithCheese ending the Olympics - dead rogues, dead heroes, dead allies, Nightwing and Arsenal blasting in LikeABadassOutOfHell, two {{OriginalCharacter}}s stepping into heroics for the first time, and even a cadre of New York firefighters against White Martians.
