Go To

1* The Question's introduction narration--so much so, that [[ComicBook/TheQuestion it's his page quote!]]
2* Hawkboy avenging his family's death by killing Comicbook/LexLuthor. After all the horror and suffering he caused, he finally gets his comeuppance. Also a moment of heartwarming, albeit a warped one, as Batman gave the kid the opportunity out of sympathy.
3** Immediately prior to this, Batman taking a beating from Luthor prior to Hal's brief return, and Luthor realising - in utter horror - that Batman sat there and took it on purpose. Batman then proceeds to tell Lex ''exactly'' how he's going to die.. While supping tea brought to him by Barry.
4* By the same token, Comicbook/{{Brainiac}}'s utter destruction at the hands of Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} and the Kandorians.
5* Franchise/{{Superman}} saving the planet and helping to usher in a new tomorrow for it.
6* [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] is amongst the few to try to remain a golden age hero and die as one. Marvel's DyingMomentOfAwesome is probably the high point of the book.
7* Say what you will about the rest of the book, but Batman slicing a "Z" into Luthor is both badass, and a great reference to {{Franchise/Zorro}}, the hero that inspired Batman, both in-universe, and out.
