-->'''Bruce:''' It's a fail safe, device. Paralyzes the suit. In case the wrong person gets into it.\\

** [[https://youtu.be/INlo3XzQSIo Terry and Bruce]] providing [=RiffTrax=]-esque commentary on a clip of ''Series/Batman1966''. [[spoiler: They both admit that the '66 Batmobile is pretty cool.]]

-->'''Bruce:''' ''[crosses his arms]'' Of course I do. I've seen it all: [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E20And21AKnightofShadows Demons]], [[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE18TheDemonWithin witch boys]], [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E24To26TheSavageTime immortals]], [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E8And9InjusticeForAll zombies]]. But this thing...I don't know, it just feels so...so high school.

** That scene is made so much better by the fact that Howard's doing okay until he says that line, causing Batman to immediately {{Facepalm}}.

'''Howard:''' ''[to Batman]'' [[WhatAnIdiot Wrong thing to say?]]\\

-->'''Terry:''' Thanks for telling me ''now''.

-->'''Bruce:''' ''[crosses his arms]'' Of course I do. I've seen it all: [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E20And21AKnightofShadows Demons]], [[Recap/TheNewBatmanAdventuresE18TheDemonWithin witch boys]], [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E24To26TheSavageTime immortals]], [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E15And16TheTerrorBeyond zombies]]. But this thing...I don't know, it just feels so...so high school.

-->'''Bruce:''' ''[crosses his arms]'' Of course I do. I've seen it all: Demons, witch boys, immortals, zombies. But this thing...I don't know, it just feels so...so high school.

** "A superstitious cowardly lot!" Bonus for the fact that it's actually Creator/KevinConroy also portraying the theater actor. This line gets used as a brick joke later in Justice League Unlimited where due to time travel shenanigans, Bruce meets his younger self and asks if criminals were still, verbatim, "superstitious and cowardly".

'''Bruce:''' Terry, is there something you need to tell me?\\

* Terry ranting at Bruce while frantically searching for the Eggbaby after its unknowingly taken by Ma Mayhem and her sons:

** And when Terry and Blade are getting their scores Blade is just filing her nails and ignoring the teacher.

--->'''Cabby:''' Must be hot in that costume.\\

-->'''Superman:''' ''[warmly]'' Good to see you Bruce.\\

* Later, Terry busts in and saves Max, who [[TheGlomp glomps]] him but since he's got cracked ribs, he has to push her away because it hurts. He then takes a [[MaleGaze handful of seconds]] to check out her {{Stripperific}} outfit and this happens:

* "Meltdown" should not be funny; in fact, it's one of the most tragic, heart-wrenching episodes in the [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman]] mythos. However, there's a moment of comedy at the end in between two moments of poignant remorse for maximum MoodWhiplash, where the newly-shown WalkingWasteland Blight is recovered by his henchmen after having been blasted into a frozen river.

-->'''Terry:''' Uh, [[BuffySpeak do the thing where you find out what this thing's made of.]]

-->'''Batman:''' {{You killed my father}}.

-->'''Terry:''' [[PowerPerversionPotential An invisible boy in the girls' shower...]] [[CovertPervert Why didn't I think of that?]]\\

* The ending. Cynthia explodes, blowing up Howard's house. [[TemptingFate Howard asks how worse things can get.]] [[FromBadToWorse Cue his parents pulling up.]]

'''Bruce:''' Terry... is there something you need to tell me?\\
'''Terry:''' It's not a child! It's... turn on your vidlink. See? It's not a real baby.\\

* Terry goes out to look for Eldon Michaels, whom he is told is an alien[=/=]EldritchAbomination from outer space. After a brief shootout at Michaels' apartment, Batman manages to knock the gun out of his hands with a batarang.

* Bruce's wry look after Terry remarks that some people need someplace where they can talk about their problems.

* Ladies and gentlemen... ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebI8H5nq5L4 Batman: The Musical!]]''

'''Bruce:''' ... [[VitriolicBestBuds It's been a while.]]\\

** Even funnier is Superman, [[https://youtu.be/R49Ut8dv05Q?t=58 flying stiff as a board]] while chasing after the Batmobile [[DarkReprise (and with a corrupted version of his theme playing).]]

'''Terry:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe You're kidding, right?]]\\

* A bit of BlackComedy when the various secrets of important people are being aired by Peek. Right after Terry covers Matt's eyes as Paxton Powers makes out with a woman, a boxing coach is exposed for flirting with his fighter's girlfriend (complete with spitTake at the TV screen), at which point the fighter bursts through his door while he watches.

** During this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5lpyxrsemE video]], one commenter voices Bruce's thoughts:
--->'''Bruce:''' ''[Zatanna photo]'' Did her. ''[Lois photo]'' Did her. ''[Selina photo]'' Did her. ''[Barbara photo]'' Almost got in trouble with her.

-->'''Blight:''' Do you have the slightest idea [[ButForMeItWasTuesday how little that narrows it down?!]]

*** What makes it funny is that Blight isn't even being boastful; he sounds irritated in a way that says "Dude, just freakin' ''tell'' me."

** Bruce then faces away from the screen and calmly listens as Terry is heard getting beat up.

* [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Melanie grabbing onto a pole and pole-dancing out of the blue]] as she and Terry keep talking like nothing is going on.

* This hilarious exchange, which might be borderline GettingCrapPastTheRadar:

* A bit of BlackComedy when the various secrets of important people are being aired by Peek.

'''Bruce:''' Terry...is there something you need to tell me?
'''Terry:''' It's not a child! It's...turn on your vidlink. See? It's not a real baby.\\

** Bruce topping off the whole thing by executing an OffhandBackhand on J-Man [[CaneFu with his cane]].

'''Terry:''' It's not a child! It's...turn on your vidlink. See? It's not a real baby.

-->'''Terry:''' You're a hero to my people, Commissioner.
