* Near the end of the series the Joker attacks a helpless woman with [[FoeYay the stated intent of attracting Batman's attention]]. Someone large looms behind Joker, and he happily turns around... to see Bane. Joker's reaction is a quiet "This is gonna suck." Calling what ensues a CurbStompBattle is being too generous. It is more a Curb Stomp Punch.

* Joker decides to run for the position of president of No Man's Land against rival warlord Billy Pettit. He has fancy campaign posters made for himself and placed next to ones for "Billy 'The Pig' Pettit" showing a picture of a scowling pig wearing a police uniform and with Pettit's mustache on his face. Joker then insincerely laments how Pettit is making Joker put up those campaign posters due to lacking the democratic initiative to run his own campaign. The artist who drew the posters points out that it's hard for Pettit to campaign when he doesn't even know that he's running, a comment which incurs Joker's annoyance.

* While his broadcast is fairly touching, TV host Jenkin Yates gets some funny moments with his CuckoolanderCommentator broadcasts about Gotham when he thinks he's just broadcasting to dead air, when Oracle has connected him to every TV in America. He uses sock puppets to report the news and notes no one is calling with comments, but the fact that the phone lines have been down for six months ''might'' have something to do with that.
--> '''Yates:''' Call our number now! All calls should last no longer than zero minutes and will be charged at no rate at all. Don't bother to ask the person who used to pay the bill--And remember, dial carefully.
* When the Young Justice team visits Gotham, Lagoon Boy is psyched about how Batman yelled at him. As he babbles about all the exciting things that have happened, his teammates have a BigWhat reaction when he casually mentions passing a submarine in the harbor, with that information allowing them to stop a KOBRA biological attack just in time. Then there's Superboy and Impulse excitedly exclaiming "Loophole" when Robin admits that Batman never said ''they'' couldn't go to Gotham.

Catwoman furiously demands to know why Batman couldn't have just asked her to steal the discs in Manhattan ''while she was still back in Manhattan'', and the situation quickly leads to some SlapSlapKiss.
