1 | * When Starfire, Adam Strange and ComicBook/AnimalMan are about to launch their ship, the engine stalls for a second, and they think it doesn't work. Strange's reaction? [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "I don't get it. This has never happened to me before."]] ''Then'' it shoots into space. Adam Strange is at this point in the story ''technically blind'', so he extra-special doesn't notice. |
2 | * Captain Marvel getting driven absolutely bonkers by spending too much time on the Rock of Eternity listening to the seven deadly sins. |
3 | -->'''Captain Marvel:''' STOP '''SNORING''', SLOTH! And you stop bragging, Pride! This whole affair has ''nothing'' to do with you! |
4 | * Black Adam, and yes, [[AntiHero Black Adam]] [[KnightTemplar of all ]] [[BewareTheSuperman people]], worrying about how he looks on his wedding day. |
5 | -->'''Black Adam:''' The cape. They couldn't get this bloodstain out.\ |
6 | '''Captain Marvel:''' I can't believe it.\ |
7 | '''Black Adam''': What?\ |
8 | '''Captain Marvel''': You're nervous. I've never seen you nervous.\ |
9 | '''Black Adam''': I am ''not'' nervous. (''To himself'') Perhaps I should not wear the cape. |
10 | * Renee occasionally tells the Question to "bite me." His response is to tell her [[DeadpanSnarker he can't, as he has no mouth]]. |
11 | * Black Adam goes through the process of bequeathing some of his power to Amon, which involves having Amon say "Black Adam." |
12 | -->'''The Question:''' Black Adam! Shazam! Isis! |
13 | -->'''Renee Montoya:''' What the hell are you doing? |
14 | -->'''The Question:''' Seeing if it's contagious. |
15 | ** Doubles as [[spoiler: HarsherInHindsight when it's revealed that Vic's dying of lung cancer here.]] |
16 | * When Starfire shows up at Animal Man's house to save him from bounty hunters and passes out from exhaustion after doing so, Buddy's wife asks if [[MsFanservice he ordered a stripper]] upon seeing her on the front porch. |
17 | * In Week 18: |
18 | ** When listing the merits of the Croatoans, Detective Chimp includes that they figured out the ending of ''Series/{{Lost}}''. |
19 | ** Detective Chimp telling Ralph Dibny about how easy it was to track him down through his alias, Alvin Burgson. |
20 | --->'''Detective Chimp:''' Please. Creator/ArthurConanDoyle based Literature/SherlockHolmes on a doctor named Joseph Bell, whose grandfather's neighbor was named Alvin Burgson. It's like you ''wanted'' to be found. |
21 | * When explaining how he [[spoiler:posed as Supernova]], Booster Gold gives this gem: |
22 | -->"First off, I had to play dumb. And if you were really yourself, [[spoiler:Skeets]], you'd be having a field day with that statement." |
23 | * A depowered [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] managed to get an interview with Supernova by throwing himself out of a window. Lois is not pleased. |
24 | --> '''Lois''': You did '''what?''' [[HypocriticalHumor What ever possessed you to throw yourself out a window to get someone's attention?]] |
25 | --> '''Clark''': The memory of you asking me that with a straight face will last a lifetime. |
26 | * In Week 35, during "The Rain of the Supermen", we get some prime BlackComedy as Luthor, having [[spoiler:deactivated the powers of the Everymen]], makes a phone call and, looking up and seeing [[spoiler:a depowered superhuman]] falling down at his position, [[ComedicSociopathy calmly walks away and continues his phone call as if nothing happened]] while [[spoiler:the Everyman]] hits the roof behind him. |
27 | ** The name of the incident itself is a [[CrossesTheLineTwice very morbidly funny pun]] on ''Reign of the Supermen!'', a part of ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'' saga. |
