| 8 | !![[AC:1x01/02/03 -- Secret Origins]] |
| 9 | * When the League first gets together and has to [[LetsSplitUpGang split up in groups of two]] to handle threats in different locations, Flash [[CasanovaWannabe immediately grabs a bewildered Wonder Woman as his partner]]. Next shot: |
| 10 | -->'''Flash:''' ''[to Green Lantern]'' You're no fun! |
| 11 | * When Batman is spying on the scientists during the time before the invasion, he has a look of pure bafflement when one of the scientists casually lifts a heavy piece of equipment. |
| 12 | * The Watchtower is introduced, and Superman asks Batman if his shareholders know about it. He casually says, "A line item hidden in the aerospace R&D budget." |
| 13 | |
| 14 | !![[AC:1x04/05 -- In Blackest Night]] |
| 15 | * Flash chooses to act as Green Lantern's lawyer, as the planet they're on "solved their lawyer problem a long time ago." He's then told that if Green Lantern is found guilty, his lawyer will be executed too. |
| 16 | -->'''Flash:''' That's crazy!\ |
| 17 | '''Alien Judge:''' No, [[EvilLawyerJoke that's how we solved our lawyer problem]]. |
| 18 | * "[[ChewbaccaDefense If the ring was not lit, you must acquit!]]" |
| 19 | |
| 20 | !![[AC:1x06/07 -- The Enemy Below]] |
| 21 | * Deadshot. |
| 22 | -->'''Superman:''' You tried to kill Aquaman. Why?\ |
| 23 | '''Deadshot:''' Gee, why would a hired gun try to shoot somebody? Could it be that... [[MathematiciansAnswer someone paid me to]]? |
| 24 | * This episode features one of the best off-screen Batman intimidations ever: |
| 25 | -->'''Deadshot:''' ''[[[MaleGaze looks Wonder Woman up and down]]]'' ...Unless, of course, you can [[SexForServices make it worth my while]].\ |
| 26 | '''Batman:''' ''[grabs him]'' I'll take it from here. ''[drags Deadshot away]''\ |
| 27 | '''Deadshot:''' [[TemptingFate You can't scare me, Batman]].\ |
| 28 | '''Batman:''' Let me give you one word of advice... ''[says something to him as the camera pulls away]''\ |
| 29 | '''Deadshot:''' ''[in a panic]'' Okay! I'll tell! I'll tell!\ |
| 30 | '''Wonder Woman:''' What did he say?\ |
| 31 | '''Superman:''' [[YouDoNotWantToKnow You don't wanna know...]] |
| 32 | ** What did he say? According to WordOfGod, it's "[[TheVillainKnowsWhereYouLive I know where you live]], [[SecretIdentity Floyd]]." |
| 33 | |
| 34 | !![[AC:1x08/09 -- Paradise Lost]] |
| 35 | * Diana attempting to figure out how to explain her actions to her mother. |
| 36 | -->'''Diana:''' Gone? I wasn't gone. [[BlatantLies I was in my room... alone... for eight months]]. |
| 37 | * Our heroes investigate Felix Faust's home, where Flash accidentally sets off a death-beam scepter, and Batman chastises him for messing with the relics. Quick cut to ''Superman and J'onn'' immediately putting some relics back, while Wonder Woman gingerly steps away from another relic. |
| 38 | * Wonder Woman encounters her first shopping mall: |
| 39 | -->'''Diana:''' It's like some kind of temple!\ |
| 40 | '''Superman:''' Yes, for those who worship their credit cards. |
| 41 | * During the final battle, Lord Hades unleashes an army of the dead to fight the heroes. J'onn simply goes intangible, lets the zombies' overzealousness destroy each other, and then casually smacks the last one standing into dust. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | !![[AC:1x10/11 -- War World]] |
| 44 | * Of all people to start a large chant in an auditorium, Martian Manhunter (wearing a cloak) starts chanting "Superman" like he's in a sporting arena, with the audience soon following. What adds to the hilarity is the usual tone he has is being used to project itself. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | !![[AC:1x12/13 -- The Brave and the Bold]] |
| 47 | * The cold open has an archeologist duo digging up ape fossils in the plains of Africa as one sees the mountain in the background transform into a hi-tech city. A gorilla on a hovercraft flies past being chased by two other gorillas on hovercrafts. One of the two pursuers shouts "HUMANS!", and they both fly back into the city, which transforms back into a mountain before the other archeologist can even see what's happened. For anyone watching who isn't aware of Gorilla City, it's hilariously random. |
| 48 | * In the beginning, Flash is trying to hit on a couple of girls. After he quickly saves them from a truck that crashes into a diner and leaves to do some superheroing, one of the girls says this to the other: |
| 49 | -->'''Girl:''' And you didn't want to give him our phone number. |
| 50 | * Flash and Green Lantern are talking in front of a hot dog stand. GL admonishes Flash for wasting time. Flash's response: |
| 51 | -->'''Flash:''' Relax, it's just a little snack. ''[[[BigEater draws out two heaping armfuls of hot dogs]]]'' |
| 52 | * This: |
| 53 | -->'''Flash:''' Let's see, after I caught the gorilla, he told me that...\ |
| 54 | '''Green Lantern:''' The gorilla talked to you.\ |
| 55 | '''Flash:''' Yeah, right after I stopped his car.\ |
| 56 | '''Green Lantern:''' I'm supposed to believe this?\ |
| 57 | '''Flash:''' Hey, we've both got a ''Martian's'' phone number on our speed dial. I think [[ArbitrarySkepticism I deserve the benefit of the doubt here]]. |
| 58 | * And this: |
| 59 | -->'''Grodd:''' Heh. You're a bigger fool than I thought.\ |
| 60 | '''Flash:''' [[LameComeback Oh, yeah? Well, you're... naked!]]\ |
| 61 | ''[realizing that this wasn't a very good comeback, Flash shrugs at Solovar]'' |
| 62 | * Green Lantern: "Flash, don't heckle the supervillain!" |
| 63 | * When Solovar first introduces himself to Flash and Green Lantern, Flash runs off while Solovar's talking. It's his matter-of-fact tone that does it. And the fact that he's a gorilla. |
| 64 | -->'''Solovar:''' Wait. First you must-- He's very fast. |
| 65 | * After arriving in a deserted city: |
| 66 | -->'''Flash:''' [[GenreSavvy Usually when it's this empty, flesh-eating zombies show up]].\ |
| 67 | '''GL:''' [[YouWatchTooMuchX You watch too many horror movies]].\ |
| 68 | ''[sounds of a brainwashed mob]''\ |
| 69 | '''Flash:''' Maybe ''you'' don't watch enough. |
| 70 | * We get more evidence of Flash's [[CastFromCalories souped-up metabolism]] when a cop offers him coffee and asks how he takes it. |
| 71 | -->'''Flash:''' With cream and [[SweetTooth thirty-seven sugars]]. ''[cops stare at him]'' Really. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | !![[AC:1x16/17 -- Fury]] |
| 74 | * Wonder Woman having her first experience shopping. She doesn't get it. |
| 75 | -->'''Customer''': I'm leaning towards the Cranberry (lipstick).\ |
| 76 | '''Clerk''': That is so ''definitely'' your color. ''(to Diana)'' Don't you agree, miss?\ |
| 77 | '''Diana''': Why would anyone want to cover up her natural beauty?\ |
| 78 | '''Customer''': Easy for you to say, Miss Cheekbones. |
| 79 | * Then another clerk sprays perfume in Diana's face, which she mistakes for an attack. The clerk informs her it's the latest scent, and if Diana wore it, she'd have to beat men off with a stick. |
| 80 | -->'''Diana''': Believe me, I don't need a stick. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | !![[AC:1x14/15 -- Legends]] |
| 83 | * When Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, and Flash get sucked into the world of an old comic book GL used to read, they're very much FishOutOfWater, since it's a WorldOfHam. When Tom Turbine makes his entrance, for example, the look on Flash's face is ''priceless''. He takes to it pretty quickly, though; during his fight with Dr. Blizzard, [[PungeonMaster he's pretty much playing pun tennis with him]]. |
| 84 | ** FridgeBrilliance: Of course Flash knows all sorts of ice puns, one of his major rogues is Captain Cold! |
| 85 | * Flash teases Hawkgirl when she comes out with a batch of cookies (and looks frustrated at being told to StayInTheKitchen). Hawkgirl's response: |
| 86 | -->''"[[SeriousBusiness Try it, and you'll be the fastest man alive with a limp]]."'' |
| 87 | |
| 88 | !![[AC:1x16/17 -- Injustice for All]] |
| 89 | * Star Sapphire is blindsided when someone on the other side of the brawl flings an enormous statue of a cartoon duck. Green Lantern attempts to alert her: "Duck!" (smack!) "...Tried to warn her." |
| 90 | * The episodes have the Joker in them. [[LaughablyEvil Naturally]], they're a riot from his entrance to his final line. |
| 91 | -->'''Solomon Grundy:''' ''[to Luthor]'' You're crazy.\ |
| 92 | '''Joker:''' ''[kicks the doors open from off-screen]'' [[IncomingHam AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?!]] [[TheMadHatter It's done wonders for me!]] |
| 93 | * When Batman inevitably shows up to investigate Luthor's group, the Joker manages to knock him out from behind by [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE46AlmostGotIm hitting him with (a bag of) rocks]]. |
| 94 | ** After Batman punches him and before passing out, he says with [[ShoutOut a familiar lisp]]: |
| 95 | --->'''Joker:''' [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck You're dethpicable!]] ''(Batman actually ''smiles'')'' |
| 96 | ** The mere fact that the Joker is suggesting [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim to just shoot Batman]], [[TaughtByExperience knowing full well that, when Batman escapes, they'll be doomed]]. That's right; the Joker is being the OnlySaneMan in this episode. |
| 97 | * Grundy and Humanite brawling, followed by Luthor remarking, "You imbeciles are killing me faster than the Kryptonite!" |
| 98 | ** Luthor's TwitchyEye and {{Facepalm}} when he [[SurroundedByIdiots catches them fighting]]. |
| 99 | ** Batman causing the fight with just [[ManipulativeBastard a few well-placed words]]: |
| 100 | --->'''Batman:''' Grundy, what's Luthor paying you for this?\ |
| 101 | '''Grundy:''' Money. Lots of it.\ |
| 102 | '''Batman:''' As much as ''he's'' getting? ''[gestures towards Humanite]'' [...] Look at all you've had to put up with. You should be getting more.\ |
| 103 | '''Ultra-Humanite:''' More than me? Preposterous! |
| 104 | * After Luthor figures out Batman manipulated Grundy and Humanite into fighting, he orders Cheetah to guard Batman solo, and tells her that if he tries anything else to gag him. Once left alone, Cheetah draws her claws and snarls threateningly at Batman as a warning before the scene cuts away. Despite this, when we return to them after an unclear length of time, Batman has ''somehow'' gotten Cheetah to open up to him about her past and origins. This also leads to him seducing Cheetah, effectively having a CaptiveDate with her, while he himself is the captive. |
| 105 | * When Luthor is told that he basically has cancer because of the Kryponite he's always carried around in his pocket... he quickly [[NeverMyFault blames Superman]] and throws a clipboard confirming his illness to him. The way Superman's looking at him just gives the {{emoticon}} of "-_______-". |
| 106 | * When first in prison, Luthor yells at Humanite from his cell to lower the volume of [[WickedCultured his viewing of an opera]]. Humanite ''[[{{Troll}} raises the volume]]'', to which we see Luthor's annoyed face. |
| 107 | * There's one part: |
| 108 | -->'''Superman:''' ''[shoves Copperhead up against the wall]'' Copperhead... when are you gonna get some sense and tell me where Luthor is?\ |
| 109 | '''Copperhead:''' ''[not fazed in the least]'' Ooh. This must be the part where I get ''so'' scared, I spill my guts.\ |
| 110 | '''Superman:''' ''[trying his best to look angry]'' I'm warning you...\ |
| 111 | '''Copperhead:''' ''[still unimpressed]'' What're you gonna do, Boy Scout? Short my sheets? Give me a wedgie?\ |
| 112 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 113 | '''Superman:''' ''[releases Copperhead as he turns to the guards, frustrated]'' Take him back to the holding cell.\ |
| 114 | '''Copperhead:''' Hasta la vista. ''[hisses as the guards lead him out]''\ |
| 115 | '''Flash:''' ...That went well.\ |
| 116 | '''Superman:''' How does [[TerrorHero Batman]] ''do'' it? |
| 117 | ** [[AnswerCut Then it cuts directly]] to a captured Batman ''seducing one of his captors''. |
| 118 | * And of course, the punchline to the whole affair, after Batman gets the Ultra-Humanite to turn on Luthor with a ''bribe'': |
| 119 | -->'''PBS:''' ''This program was made possible by a grant from the Ultra-Humanite and {{viewers like you}}.'' |
| 120 | |
| 121 | !!'''Fury''' |
| 122 | * At the end, Diana is sad that [[StrawFeminist Aresia]] died without getting to know men and see that they can be noble. Then Flash walks up, [[NotHelpingYourCase talks with his mouth full, and burps]]. |
| 123 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-5fMil83xA This brilliant exchange]] between Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl, which doubles as GettingCrapPastTheRadar: |
| 124 | -->'''Hawkgirl:''' Yes, but who wants to live in a world without men?\ |
| 125 | '''Wonder Woman:''' They can't possibly be that essential to your life.\ |
| 126 | '''Hawkgirl:''' Don't knock it until you've tried it, Princess. |
| 127 | |
| 128 | !!'''A Knight of Shadows''' |
| 129 | * Following the chaos during the League successfully retrieving the Philosopher's Stone from the home of Harvey Hickman, Morgaine le Fay [[AngstNuke literally explodes with rage]] and leaves while Harvey (who was magically transformed into a giant worm-like creature, clobbered by Wonder Woman, [[NoOntologicalInertia and changed back after Morgaine Le Fay's departure]]) faints on his grotto from exhaustion, while an annoyed neighbor berates him for the noise, thinking it's one of his parties gone too wild: |
| 130 | -->'''Neighbor:''' Hey, Hickman! Keep it down! Some of us are trying to get some sleep! ''[slams the window to reveal a reflection of Hickman's mansion on fire]'' |
| 131 | * Just as Morgaine Le Fay is about to get her hands on the Philosopher's Stone, the heroes ambush her. |
| 132 | -->'''Flash:''' Ding! Fifth floor, sporting goods, hardware, evil sorceresses! |
| 133 | |
| 134 | !!'''Metamorphosis''' |
| 135 | |
| 136 | !!'''The Savage Time''' |
| 137 | * Part 1, when the League end up in Vandal Savage's BadPresent and discover a resistance run by a much more ruthless and pragmatic Bruce Wayne: |
| 138 | -->'''Flash:''' ''[unnerved]'' Bats, you're starting to scare me.\ |
| 139 | '''Savage Universe Bruce Wayne:''' ''I scare a lot of people''. |
| 140 | * At the end of part 3: |
| 141 | -->'''Superman:''' Batman! It's really you! ''[bear hug]''\ |
| 142 | '''Batman:''' ''[deadpan]'' Am I missing something? |
| 143 | |
| 144 | !!'''Twilight''' |
| 145 | * Parts 1 and 2 feature some of the best Batman one-liners around. The producers even joke about this fact during the commentary because they were just on a roll with his character during those episodes. For instance, there's a moment where Bruce and Diana first see the city where the "gods" live and this happens: |
| 146 | -->'''Batman:''' [[GonnaNeedMoreX I'm gonna need a longer grapple]].\ |
| 147 | ''[Wonder Woman stares at him in shock]'' |
| 148 | ** Or when he and Wonder Woman have to leap into the Boom Tube to help Orion and Superman fight Darkseid: |
| 149 | --->'''Batman:''' Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me real hard! |
| 150 | * J'onn gets one of his own, while using a captured Braniac drone both as a robo shield and to shoot the others with its own hand blasts: |
| 151 | -->'''Batman:''' Having fun?\ |
| 152 | '''J'onn:''' Yes. |
| 153 | * There's something oddly funny about Superman charging at Brainiac (who's behind a force field), only to have the field bounce him back like a stretched rubber band when he is only a couple meters from reaching the villain. He lands next to [[EnemyMine Darkseid]]. |
| 154 | -->'''Darkseid:''' Idiot. |
| 155 | |
| 156 | !!'''Tabula Rasa''' |
| 157 | * A.M.A.Z.O. meets Mercy... and proceeds to hit on her. Apparently, he absorbed more than superspeed from [[CasanovaWannabe the Flash]]. |
| 158 | * As the Martian Manhunter reads the minds of people on the street, one bald man is indignantly wondering [[ImplausibleDeniability how anyone could say he's bald]]. |
| 159 | |
| 160 | !!'''Only a Dream''' |
| 161 | * Copperhead tries to force Hawkgirl to help him escape by flying. She flies straight up and stays there. He tries to threaten her to leave and she mentions that he will "fall 40 stories" |
| 162 | * In order to stave off falling asleep and into a [[LotusEaterMachine dream-induced nightmare]], Batman resorts to measures such as [[MustHaveCaffeine storming a Starbucks to order coffee]]. |
| 163 | -->'''Batman:''' ''[slams some bills on the counter]'' Give me a triple. Now. |
| 164 | * In an attempt to stay awake, he turns the radio on to some pop song and punches the Batmobile's already-cracked windshield out for some air. Could he have rolled the window down to save glass? Yes, but not BATMAN! |
| 165 | ** Even better, it might be a sing-song ad playing. "-hungry? Are you thirsty? Come to Jon's. Dine at Jon's." |
| 166 | * At the end of the episode, the sight of a sleeping Batman slumped over a chair is chuckle-worthy, especially with his snoring. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | !!'''Maid of Honor''' |
| 169 | * When a squad of mooks invades the party Bruce and Diana are attending, both of them start preparing for action... but Bruce realizes that Diana has the situation well in hand before he can even start changing into the Batsuit, so he just kicks back to [[PassThePopcorn have some hors d'oeuvres and watch the show]]. |
| 170 | * Vandal Savage's casual reply when asked what he's doing in Pt. 2: |
| 171 | -->'''Vandal Savage:''' ''[while counting off each with his fingers]'' Destroying the Justice League, building a rail gun, assuming total dominion over the Earth. |
| 172 | * Batman charges Savage while brandishing a swivel chair and uttering "You're in my way" in his usual deadpan voice. |
| 173 | * Batman fails to prevent Savage's KillSat from firing, but does manage to change its target. When Wonder Woman asks where, he gives her a GrinOfAudacity and says "Right here." |
| 174 | * Wonder Woman's response to Vandal Savage rising up from the rubble from getting hit his own rail gun, covered in burn marks and clearly enraged and in agony. |
| 175 | -->'''Wonder Woman:''' ''[to Audrey]'' You sure can pick em'. |
| 176 | |
| 177 | !!'''Hearts and Minds''' |
| 178 | * When Green Lantern is captured and brought before Despero: |
| 179 | -->'''GL:''' Despero, I presume.\ |
| 180 | '''Whole Crowd:''' DESPERO IS ALL!\ |
| 181 | '''GL:''' With a backup group, no less. |
| 182 | * When Despero reveals the flame of Pitar to GL: |
| 183 | -->'''GL:''' You built a bonfire. Am I supposed to be impressed? |
| 184 | * The Flash and Kilowog search GL's apartment for his power battery. Flash raids the fridge and offers Kilowog some of GL's ice cream. He eats it, cardboard tub and all. He also snacks on a VHS tape. Both delicacies get the same comment from him. |
| 185 | -->'''Kilowog:''' Delicious! |
| 186 | * GL's landlady, armed with a broom, beats the crap out of the Flash for trespassing. Kilowog continues searching the apartment, ignoring this. |
| 187 | -->'''Flash:''' ''[to the landlady]'' We'll give you a call if we ever need a replacement for Hawkgirl! |
| 188 | ** Even funnier when you consider that Flash's SuperSpeed should make it impossible for her to hit him, yet he never even tries to dodge. |
| 189 | |
| 190 | !!'''A Better World''' |
| 191 | * Before the real plot kicks in, President Lex Luthor (Justice Lords' version) has gone completely mad after whatever he's done has backfired on him. All he can do is just blame everyone for "not seeing his vision". |
| 192 | -->'''President Luthor:''' And they're going to burn for it. '''BURN!''' |
| 193 | * When Lex Luthor is arrested, he boasts he'll be out of jail in days. Wonder Woman raises her fist and says, "Not with a broken leg, you won't." |
| 194 | * When the Justice Lords are fighting Doomsday, a bunch of prisoners are watching on the news, and one says, "Twenty bucks on the ugly guy." |
| 195 | * In a mostly dour episode: |
| 196 | -->'''The Flash:''' Without me, your group fell apart. I was the conscience of the group!\ |
| 197 | '''Green Lantern:''' ''[snapping]'' C'mon, [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Jiminy]]! |
| 198 | * They sneak another one in in the Arkham Asylum scene. When the Justice League pass by Wesker and his doll Mr. Scarface, the ''doll'' is the one who's been lobotomized. |
| 199 | * When Wonder Woman punches off the head of one of Lord Superman's robots, the head blurts out "Thanks!" as it sails through the air. |
| 200 | * Superman-Robot: "Violent behavior will not be tolerated." ''[bashes Superman's head into a concrete pillar]'' |
| 201 | |
| 202 | !!'''Eclipsed''' |
| 203 | * Flash shows Green Lantern the PimpedOutCar he bought with his energy-bar endorsement money: |
| 204 | -->'''Green Lantern:''' Why do ''[[SuperSpeed you]]'' need a [[AutoErotica van]]...? ''[looks down at a tire cover with "WILD THING" printed on it]'' Wait, don't answer that, [[YouDoNotWantToKnow I don't wanna know]]. |
| 205 | ** The answer becomes fairly evident when Flash shows off the interior, which is decorated like [[DontComeAKnockin a stereotypical bachelor love shack]]. |
| 206 | * When the other heroes worry that Flash has been injured, they decide that he's fine after [[CasanovaWannabe he tries to convince Wonder Woman]] to [[KissOfLife give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation]]. |
| 207 | * SmarmyHost Gordon Godfrey utters a weak "[[IWantMyMommy Mommy]]" when he sees the sun being eclipsed. |
| 208 | * The end of the episode shows Gordon doing his show in a cramped room with only a handful of bored people in the audience. Gordon (still referring to himself as "the glorious one," and trying to sound on top of the world) then asks viewers to tune in to his new time slot: around 4 a.m., right after the farm report. |
| 209 | * At the end when Flash gives up endorsing products, he passes the job off to Mophir. |
| 210 | |
| 211 | !!'''The Terror Beyond''' |
| 212 | * After Aquaman brings him to Fate's tower, Inza presents Solomon Grundy with some treats. He looks ready to eat, but actually hesitates out of politeness. |
| 213 | -->'''Inza:''' It's okay. Take as many as you want.\ |
| 214 | ''[Grundy starts pigging out]'' |
| 215 | ** Afterwards, Doctor Fate arrives: |
| 216 | --->'''Doctor Fate:''' I am Doctor Fate.\ |
| 217 | '''Grundy:''' ''[panicking, with his mouth full]'' Girl gave Grundy the cookies!! |
| 218 | ** Then, after some plot exposition: |
| 219 | --->'''Grundy:''' Too much talking, Grundy bored! |
| 220 | * Aquaman's words when he saves Grundy from the military, in light of who and what he's talking to. |
| 221 | -->'''Aquaman:''' If you wish to live, come with me. |
| 222 | * Superman's frustrated sigh right before he knocks out a belligerent Aquaman. Because he's the ''[[OnlySaneMan only one]]'' who's trying to actually talk things out. |
| 223 | ** Hawkgirl eventually lampshades the [[PoorCommunicationKills "misunderstanding"]]. |
| 224 | --->'''Hawkgirl:''' We're not going to fight again, are we? |
| 225 | * The ending of part 1, just when they're all ''finally'' ready to talk by the time Superman drops Grundy and Aquaman by Fate's feet. |
| 226 | -->'''Superman:''' You've run out of choices. Tell us what you're doing ''now!''\ |
| 227 | ''[A giant Cthulhu monster pops out of a portal]''\ |
| 228 | '''Doctor Fate:''' We were trying to prevent ''that''. |
| 229 | * Icthultu notices that Hawkgirl is Thanagarian (her people worshiped, then banished him) giving us this exchange: |
| 230 | -->'''Icthultu:''' You have the stench of the Thanagarians upon you.\ |
| 231 | '''Hawkgirl:''' Says the giant squid.\ |
| 232 | '''Icthultu:''' Definitely Thanagarian. |
| 233 | * Continuing along the same lines: |
| 234 | -->'''Icthultu:''' Speak to me, child of Thanagar.\ |
| 235 | '''Hawkgirl:''' Nothing to say. I've got a ''[[FlippingTheBird gesture]]'' for you, but my hands are tied.\ |
| 236 | '''Icthultu:''' How I've missed your people's spirit... |
| 237 | |
| 238 | !!'''Secret Society''' |
| 239 | * This episode has some epic Batman moments. In a scene where he confronts one of his old foes: |
| 240 | -->'''Clayface:''' You didn't think I'd come here without reinforcements, did you?\ |
| 241 | '''Batman:''' Wish I'd thought of that. ''[Justice League [[BigDamnHeroes breaks through the wall]]]'' Oh, wait. ''[shit-eating grin]'' ''I did''. |
| 242 | ** As well as this line: |
| 243 | --->'''Clayface:''' ''[after his masquerade as the Flash is blown]'' What gave me away?\ |
| 244 | '''Batman:''' You overplayed your part, "[[IronicEcho yo]]". |
| 245 | * At one point, Clayface points out that in all the spy movies he used to act in, [[BondVillainStupidity the villain never killed the hero and they ended up losing]]. The kicker? That's not actually Clayface. It's J'onn, who's going out of his way to be extra GenreSavvy. [[{{Irony}} J'onn J'onzz is a better actor than Clayface, who was an actual actor]]. |
| 246 | * Superman defeating Grodd with a [[FingerPokeOfDoom finger flick]], and his OhCrap face just before that. |
| 247 | * A {{mook|s}} gives the Flash a PretenderDiss when the latter tries [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique dangling him out the window to get him to talk]]. Unlike Batman, though, Flash ''actually drops him'' -- but keeps pace by [[WallRun running down the side of the building]] and asking for details, rescuing the hapless thug at the bottom after he agrees to talk. |
| 248 | * The reveal that Giganta use to be a normal gorilla. Shade was hitting on her until this revelation. Not at all helped by the fact that after Grodd reveals this, Shade looks over to Giganta eating a banana and winking at him. And Shade then gives a shrug that possibly means to say he doesn't mind at all... |
| 249 | |
| 250 | !!'''Hereafter''' |
| 251 | * The main story is so grim that the ''villains'' get to be the PluckyComicRelief. |
| 252 | * From Lobo: |
| 253 | -->'''Wonder Woman:''' ''[about to punch him in the face]'' [[PretenderDiss You're no Superman!]]\ |
| 254 | '''Lobo:''' The ladies say different. |
| 255 | ** Crosses over with BadassBoast: |
| 256 | --->'''Kalibak:''' I'm going to grind you into paste!\ |
| 257 | '''Lobo:''' Awful brave talk for a dead man.\ |
| 258 | '''Kalibak:''' I'm not dead yet.\ |
| 259 | '''Lobo:''' You're right. My watch is about ten seconds fast. |
| 260 | ** And then the boast is backed up. |
| 261 | --->''[not ten seconds later, but close enough]''\ |
| 262 | '''Lobo:''' Say it!\ |
| 263 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 264 | '''Kalibak:''' ...Uncle.\ |
| 265 | '''Lobo:''' I can't ''hear'' you!\ |
| 266 | '''Hawkgirl:''' He's beaten. Put. The car. Down.\ |
| 267 | '''Lobo:''' ''[tosses it over his shoulder and into a building]'' I was ''gonna.'' |
| 268 | * After it's revealed that Superman was sent far into the future. |
| 269 | -->'''Superman:''' How did you get here? |
| 270 | -->'''Vandal Savage:''' The old-fashioned way. I'm immortal. |
| 271 | ** Savage has become a little... eccentric over thirty millennia. |
| 272 | --->'''Superman:''' [[YoureInsane You're insane]].\ |
| 273 | '''Vandal Savage:''' [[InsultBackfire True, but that doesn't mean I'm not good company]]. Say, you wanna come over to my house?\ |
| 274 | '''Superman:''' ''[stares at him]''\ |
| 275 | '''Vandal Savage:''' Like you've got something better to do. |
| 276 | ** The ''manner'' in which he asks sounds remarkably like a little kid with a new best friend. |
| 277 | ** Just after, Savage reveals exactly how he destroyed the world and [[WouldYouLikeToKnowHowTheyDied personally killed the League]], there's a tense moment when it seems Superman will try (in vain) to kill him for what he's done. After he decides not to even bother, he asks Savage NowWhat Savage's response is [[MoodWhiplash just gold]]: |
| 278 | --->'''Vandal Savage:''' ''[suddenly cheerful]'' Lunch? |
| 279 | ** Later, as Superman is looking over his library while Savage cooks: |
| 280 | --->'''Superman:''' Self-help books? You don't seem the type.\ |
| 281 | '''Vandal Savage:''' I scrounge whatever I can find. Anyway, I've got issues -- what with my destroying the Earth and all. |
| 282 | ** Savage built a whole tower, but Superman still has to sleep on the couch because there's no guest bedroom. |
| 283 | * Diana's explanation as to why Batman refused to attend Superman's funeral is "[[{{Understatement}} He doesn't handle loss very well]]." |
| 284 | * Wonder Woman blocks Weather Wizard's lightning with her metal bracers. The Flash's reaction? |
| 285 | -->'''Flash:''' There are so many reasons why that shouldn't have worked. |
| 286 | ** Doubles as a MythologyGag, if you recall how the Flash [[LightningCanDoAnything got his powers]]. |
| 287 | * [[https://i.redd.it/bhhea89zr0e01.png The surreal image]] of Superman, in full costume, driving a car across a barren landscape. |
| 288 | |
| 289 | !!'''Wild Cards''' |
| 290 | * Given that the main villain is [[LaughablyEvil the Joker]], nearly every moment with him on screen is ''hilarious''. |
| 291 | * We get the Joker as his own twisted version of a ShipperOnDeck: |
| 292 | -->'''Joker:''' Is it just me, or is there [[BelligerentSexualTension something going on between those two]]? Will Green Lantern ever admit to his feelings? Will Hawkgirl ever stop sublimating her passions with that [[AllPsychologyIsFreudian big honkin' mace]]? Will [[ThePowerOfLove True Love conquer all]]? ''[raises his detonator]'' Not on my show! |
| 293 | ** His [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall interactions]] with his MagicCountdown: |
| 294 | --->'''Joker:''' And since every great suspense show needs a ticking clock, here's mine! ''[the countdown starts at [[NonNaturalNumberGag an arbitrary number of minutes and seconds]]]'' Oh, what were you expecting from me? A ''round'' number? |
| 295 | ** Also, the Vegas casinos are emptied... except for one old woman playing the slots. Joker talks to her briefly, then ''leaves her alone'' for the rest of the episode. |
| 296 | --->'''Joker:''' Ma'am? ''Ma'am?'' Aren't you scared?\ |
| 297 | '''Old woman:''' Of what? This thing's bound to pay off sooner or later.\ |
| 298 | '''Joker:''' Man, I love this town! |
| 299 | *** That leads to a demented BrickJoke at the very end of the episode. "JACKPOT!" |
| 300 | ** Just the fact that Joker is doing a play-by-play commentary while the heroes are running all around Vegas. Everything about that is hilarious. |
| 301 | * Joker's reaction to seeing Harley Quinn socking Batman in the jaw after she sees Joker being close to Ace. |
| 302 | -->'''Joker:''' ''[surprised]'' Have to admit, [[DidntSeeThatComing didn't see that one coming]]... |
| 303 | * Also: |
| 304 | -->'''Joker:''' There are twenty-five bombs scattered throughout the city, and they're set to go off in... ''[puts on glasses and takes an exaggerated look at the timer in the corner of the screen]'' Oh, dear! That's not a lot of time! |
| 305 | ** Also, the line "While they stumble around, trying to find my bomb" just gets you. |
| 306 | * Then at the end, Flash stops the last bomb, which is ''seconds'' away from exploding. The camera is on him, the clock strikes :01, and he and the bomb disappear. Cue a stunned Joker wondering what the hell just happened. Flash had run the bomb all the way out to the desert, with it exploding in his hands -- frame-by-frame, too -- in the span of one second. |
| 307 | ** The Joker's subdued "Huh" after watching the replay of Flash running the last bomb into the desert while it's exploding. |
| 308 | * The Royal Flush Gang's intro, more specifically Queen's: |
| 309 | -->'''Joker:''' Aaand ''[camera focused on [[MaleGaze the clover symbol on her crotch]]]'' [[DistractedByTheSexy Ooooh...]] ''[camera shifts to her face]'' ...Queen! |
| 310 | ** After the gang is forced to retreat: |
| 311 | -->'''Joker:''' Oh, you're breaking an old man's heart, kids. Stand up to them like I would! If I were there... and I had superpowers and... oh, for Pete's sake! Just go back there and beat on them! |
| 312 | * There's even an origin story for the gang complete with a reality-tv style interview about them. Even funnier with the CastingGag that the Royal Flush Gang are portrayed by the cast of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': Ten as Cyborg, King as Robin, Jack as Beast Boy, Ace as Starfire, and Queen as Raven. |
| 313 | * Joker rather matter-of-factly calling Superman "Stupidman". |
| 314 | * Joker's {{Pun}} on Batman getting warm in his search of the bomb while standing next to a volcano... and his camera crew's nonplussed reaction. |
| 315 | -->'''Camera crew:''' ''[''very'' forced laugh]''\ |
| 316 | '''Joker:''' ...That's enough, nobody likes a brown-nose. |
| 317 | ** As a ContinuityNod, he seems pretty annoyed that he [[DontExplainTheJoke had to explain the joke]]. |
| 318 | * Superman reminds King and Ten that if they win, the bomb goes off and they all die. Ten, DumbMuscle that he is, wants to continue fighting. King, however... |
| 319 | -->'''King:''' ''[[[OhCrap O_O]]]'' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm out of here!]] ''[leaves]'' |
| 320 | ** When Flash is carrying the last bomb, he zips past King, who gives an epic OhCrap in slow-motion. |
| 321 | |
| 322 | !!'''Comfort and Joy''' |
| 323 | * Superman releases his inner child. He still believes in Santa ([[FantasyKitchenSink though given the setting, he may not be wrong]]), wants to be the one to plug in the Christmas tree, and attempts to peek into his wrapped presents using X-ray vision, only to learn that Ma and Pa Kent wrapped them in lead foil. The juxtaposition with his normal, serious self is hilarious. |
| 324 | ** J'onn notes "I've never seen this side of you." It sounds like he's saying, in his stoically polite way, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" Nothing's ''wrong'', Clark's just happy to be home for Christmas, but it's still weirding out J'onn. |
| 325 | * J'onn sees Streaky the cat walk up: |
| 326 | -->'''J'onn:''' [[CutenessProximity Kitty]].\ |
| 327 | '''Streaky:''' ''[hisses and runs away]'' |
| 328 | * Ma Kent gives J'onn a sweater as a Christmas present, saying her group always makes extra sweaters just in case. Keeping in mind that J'onn's human form is about as wide as Superman's, J'onn still needs to enhance his bulk in order for the sweater to fit. Nobody else would have possibly fit that sweater. |
| 329 | ** J'onn is getting into the spirit of things. When Martha apologies about the size, he just swells up, and smiles, and says "I'll grow into it." |
| 330 | * A little one when J'onn plays Santa for a little girl. He reaches down from the chimney for an [[MythologyGag Oreo cookie]], followed by an "Mmm". Coming from TheSpock of the outfit, it's funny. |
| 331 | * The Flash hears some explosions going off in a museum and investigates. He finds some sculptures that look mangled and wonders who would do such a thing. Ultra-Humanite then reveals himself, commenting that he hasn't done a thing to those sculptures; they were that ugly to start with. |
| 332 | * Ultra-Humanite then explains that he's not robbing the place, [[WickedCultured he's just outraged at the poor quality of the exhibits]]. |
| 333 | --> '''Flash:''' Ohhhhhhhhh-kay. I'll just take you back to prison, where you won't have to look at the ugly old sculptures anymore. |
| 334 | * Hawkgirl and Green Lantern have the most epic super-powered snowball fight. Before that, John hanging around the snow planet just to celebrate Christmas spirit. He goes snowboarding with a ring construct snowboard, Hawkgirl is baffled that he can ''fly through space'' and sliding down a hill is still awesome for him. She's unimpressed by his snowman, and when he makes a snow angel, crowing "Look at my wings!" Hawkgirl just looks at her ''real'' wings and declares them "very nice." She did seem to really get into the snowball fight, though. . . probably because it has the word "[[BloodKnight fight]]" in it. |
| 335 | * Hawkgirl lets out a loud burp after taking a sip of the drink she's given. |
| 336 | * Hawkgirl takes Green Lantern to her favorite bar: |
| 337 | ** GL asks if this is where she goes to relax, Hawkgirl clarifies this is where she goes to ''celebrate'', not relax. |
| 338 | ** She mentions that only one thing will make it more perfect. GL thinks she means a kiss. She instead buries her mace in the hand of the biggest alien at the table and hands it off to GL. Said alien, after recovering, sees GL holding the mace and Hawkgirl giving a "he did it" point, and proceeds to rearrange his spine. |
| 339 | ** Followed the rest of the aliens ''happily'' joining in on the BarBrawl. |
| 340 | ** At the end of the episode, all the patrons are sleeping together in the bar, with [[NoodleIncident with GL and Hawkgirl snuggled up in the arm of the alien they started the fight with]]. |
| 341 | |
| 342 | !!'''Starcrossed''' |
| 343 | * Flash's lame attempt at trying to lighten the mood of their situation after being hunted by the Thanagarians. |
| 344 | -->'''Flash:''' Who knows? Maybe they'll get tired and go home. ''[{{Beat}} as everyone stares at him]'' Yeah, I know, but a little optimism at a time like this couldn't hurt. |
| 345 | * J'onn suggests they avoid the Thanagarians by going out in plain sight as their civilian identities. Flash is leery of revealing his secret Identity, so Batman outs him, Superman, and himself to the others right there. |
| 346 | * The League make their way to the Batcave: |
| 347 | -->'''Flash:''' [[CaptainObvious Hey, that's a giant dinosaur!]]\ |
| 348 | '''[[ServileSnarker Alfred]]:''' [[DeadpanSnarker And I thought Batman was the detective]]. |
| 349 | ** Especially funny is that Flash's dumb smile doesn't go away after Alfred's sarcasm. He just seemed so genuinely proud of himself for figuring out what that dinosaur was. |
| 350 | * When the Thanagarians invade Wayne Manor, Alfred tries to fight them, but one of them simply grabs his face and shoves him to the side. |
| 351 | * A moment later, when the League are exiting the manor in full costume, Alfred is calmly sweeping the floor. |
| 352 | -->'''Alfred''': Mind the glass, sir. |
| 353 | * This bit, as Batman, Martian Manhunter, and Flash are checking out the Thanagarian craft. |
| 354 | -->'''Batman:''' Well?\ |
| 355 | '''J'onn:''' I have no idea how to fly this vehicle.\ |
| 356 | '''Flash:''' [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo What's this do?]] ''[presses a button, blasts a hole in the side of Wayne Manor, while Alfred dives out of the way]''\ |
| 357 | '''Batman:''' ''([[DeathGlare glaring, through gritted teeth]])'' ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis That's. Not. Helping.]]'' |
| 358 | ** After a tense moment when J'onn has gotten the info he needs from a Thanagarian, [[MindRape mind-raping]] him in the process and leaving him catatonic on the floor, Alfred comes out just as they leave and notices the comatose soldier. |
| 359 | --->'''Alfred:''' I've asked Master Bruce to refrain from leaving ''trash'' in the yard. |

| 364 | !!'''Initiation''' |
| 365 | * Supergirl thinking Captain Atom is a killjoy. |
| 366 | -->'''Supergirl:''' Why don't you get the stick out, Corporal?\ |
| 367 | '''Captain Atom:''' ''[{{Beat}}]'' Captain. |
| 368 | * Green Arrow questions Captain Atom. |
| 369 | -->'''Green Arrow:''' Is that a [[ContainmentClothing containment suit]]?\ |
| 370 | '''Captain Atom:''' Uh-huh. I'm not flesh and blood anymore. Just [[EnergyBeings living energy]].\ |
| 371 | '''Green Arrow:''' That wouldn't be ''nuclear energy'', would it?\ |
| 372 | '''Captain Atom:''' [[MeaningfulName With a name like Captain Atom, what do you think?]]\ |

| 375 | !!'''For the Man Who Has Everything''' |
| 376 | * Batman and Wonder Woman discussing what presents they're giving to Superman. |
| 377 | -->'''Batman:''' What did you get him?\ |
| 378 | '''Wonder Woman:''' I'm not saying anything. He'll [[SuperHearing hear]] and spoil the surprise.\ |
| 379 | '''Batman:''' He can hear that too.\ |
| 380 | '''Wonder Woman:''' How about you?\ |
| 381 | '''Batman:''' He's not the easiest person to buy birthday presents for. ''[pulls out envelope]''\ |
| 382 | '''Wonder Woman:''' Bruce, you didn't get him a gift certificate?\ |
| 383 | '''Batman:''' ''[[[NotSoAboveItAll incredulously]]]'' No! ''[{{beat}}]'' Cash. |
| 384 | |
| 385 | !!'''Kids' Stuff''' |
| 386 | * Copperhead, poor poor Copperhead. He seemed so confident in "Injustice for All". When we see him later? Not so much. |
| 387 | -->'''Copperhead:''' It was judgement day! And we got sent to the bad place! ''THE BAD PLACE!''\ |
| 388 | '''Cheetah:''' ''[smacks Copperhead across the face]'' [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Snap out of it, Copper]]. |
| 389 | ** Plus Green Lantern's response: |
| 390 | --->'''Green Lantern:''' We probably just got sent to another dimension.\ |
| 391 | '''Copperhead:''' Oh, is ''that'' all?! |
| 392 | ** Meanwhile, Blockbuster is [[TroubledFetalPosition curled up in a fetal position]] and sucking his thumb. |
| 393 | * Morgaine laments that Mordred turned on her. "And after I spent millennia feeding him, bathing him, preparing him to be king." The look Superman and Green Lantern exchange is priceless. |
| 394 | ** The best part of that scene is Creator/OliviaDabo, talking in a rich voice with a posh accent, and sounding like a stereotypical JewishMother. |
| 395 | * Batboy also has plenty of great moments. |
| 396 | -->'''Batboy:''' ''[seeing the others fly off]'' It's not a race! |
| 397 | * When Superboy tries to get some kids to quit horsing around, they defy him, saying he can't tell them what to do since he's a kid. His response? |
| 398 | -->'''Superboy:''' ''[fires his heat vision at the ground before the roughhousing kids]'' [[AppealToForce I'm the kid with lasers coming out his eyes!]] ''[the roughhousing kids run in panic]'' |
| 399 | * When Wondy needs to rally the kids: |
| 400 | -->'''Wondy:''' THAT'S '''ENOUGH!'''\ |
| 401 | '''Girl:''' You can't tell us what to do! You're not our mom!\ |
| 402 | '''Wondy:''' No, but I promise you, we will find all your moms. And I'm gonna tell!\ |
| 403 | '''Kid Lantern:''' ''[to Batboy]'' Man, your girlfriend sure is bossy.\ |
| 404 | '''Batboy:''' Shut up! |
| 405 | * Wondy crushing hard on Batboy. Superboy doesn't get it. |
| 406 | -->'''Kid Lantern:''' Man, for someone with like fifty different kinds of vision, you are so ''blind!'' |
| 407 | * After Wondy burps Baby Etrigan: |
| 408 | -->'''Wondy:''' That's all he needed!\ |
| 409 | '''Kid Lantern:''' ''[sniffs]'' Aw, man! That ain't ''all'' he needs!\ |
| 410 | '''Batboy:''' Now ''that'' is a job for Superman! |
| 411 | * The moment at the end, wherein every hero is turned back into an adult. Even ''Etrigan''. In Wonder Woman's arms. |
| 412 | -->'''Etrigan:''' [[OutOfCharacterMoment Mommy!]]\ |
| 413 | ''[Wonder Woman drops him]''\ |
| 414 | '''Etrigan:''' Ow! |
| 415 | ** If you really want a laugh, just imagine the adult versions of Green Lantern, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman saying those really kid-ish lines. |
| 416 | * Mordred calling the heroes "The Justice Babies". |
| 417 | |
| 418 | !!'''Hawk and Dove''' |
| 419 | * Wonder Woman stops an armed robbery and deflects shots from a pinned thug. When he runs out of shots, he attempts to throw the gun at her but is stopped by Wonder Woman's deadpan response. |
| 420 | --> '''Wonder Woman:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh, yeah. Like that's going to work]]. |
| 421 | * When J'onn is trying to get Wonder Woman to tone down her aggression, Diana retaliates by bringing up [[NoodleIncident the creatures from the Decoran Nebula]]. |
| 422 | -->'''Diana:''' They weren't misunderstood, they thought we were ''food''! |
| 423 | * During one fight scene, a soldier pulls the pin on a grenade and tries to lob it, only to be stopped by Dove, who simply grabs his arm and says, "I wouldn't." The soldier spends about 10 seconds silently going over his options, and then just meekly ''re-inserts the pin into the grenade''. Dove then flicks the pin back into its original shape and thanks the soldier. |
| 424 | |
| 425 | !!'''This Little Piggy''' |
| 426 | * Circe trying to [[LargeHam ham it up]] with a big villain rant. Zatanna isn't having any of it. |
| 427 | -->'''Circe:''' Insolent trickster! [[WhoDares You dare to strike...]] ''[hit with a chair]'' You dare to strike...''[hit with a table]'' [[RuleOfThree You dare to strike...]] ''[is covered with a tablecloth, yanks it off]'' QUIT IT! [[OhCrap Oh no...]] ''[slammed by a piano]'' |
| 428 | * Red Tornado's one line, in a robotic deadpan: "Suuuh-WEEEEEE." |
| 429 | * Pig!Diana having so many people chasing her, and happening to block a bullet with her bracelets. The man who shot at her just looks vaguely confused. |
| 430 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoRundeX6O0 Batman's Darkest Secret]]. Batman really ''does'' [[TheComicallySerious make everything funnier]]! |
| 431 | * Batman gives Wonder Woman the "ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies" speech about why they can't date and how his villains would attack her. Wonder Woman... crushes a stone gargoyle head to immediately render the entire point moot. |
| 432 | * According to DVD commentary, the Joker was supposed to make a cameo in the episode. He and his minions would have been plotting something when Batman walks by cradling Wonder Pig in his arms and talking to her. The whole thing causes Joker to throw his arms up in defeat and walk out of there. It's hilarious to imagine. |
| 433 | * This is the only episode Bwana Beast featured in, which is kind of sad when you consider some of the dialogue he gets. |
| 434 | --> '''Bwana Beast:''' ''[speaking to pigs]'' C'mon, anybody seen her? Newcomer. Metal bracelets. Kinda stuck-up. |
| 435 | ** And then there's his introduction to Zatanna: |
| 436 | --->'''Bwana Beast:''' Bwana Beast. How ya doing?\ |
| 437 | '''Zatanna:''' [[MyEyesAreUpHere My legs are fine, as is the rest of me. Up here?]]\ |
| 438 | '''Bwana Beast:''' Ooh, she's got the fire of the cheetah in her. ''[growls seductively]''\ |
| 439 | '''Zatanna:''' ''[to Batman, clearly uncomfortable]'' Why are you doing this to me? |
| 440 | * ''Everything'' with Medusa, who's depicted here as an embittered old jailbird. |
| 441 | -->'''Themis:''' Thank you, Medusa. And know that you have earned three hundred years off your sentence.\ |
| 442 | '''Medusa:''' Freedom in 4010. [[SarcasmMode Ring-a-ding-ding]]. |
| 443 | ** Medusa's parting shot? Telling Zatanna and Batman that, when they find Circe, tell her Medusa wants her curling iron back. ''Medusa. Uses. A curling. Iron.'' |
| 444 | * The Ferryman won't leave until his toll is paid, and holds out his hand like he's expecting a tip. |
| 445 | -->'''Themis:''' Uh, there is a small service charge. |
| 446 | * Crimson Avenger asks an elderly suburbanite if he's seen a pig, and he yells out to his wife that it's for her. |
| 447 | * An in-universe example is in the DVD commentary for this episode where the creators have a chuckle over the fact that Bruce is ten times nicer to Diana when she's a pig than when she's her normal self, especially during the scene when he meets with Zatanna and very sweetly pets Pig-Diana and rubs her back. That might be one part [[UnresolvedSexualTension Diana would have liked to remember]]. It's implied that she ''did'' remember, which makes it a little funnier. |
| 448 | * At the end of the episode, Wonder Woman recounts about how her memory of the experience is hazy, and Batman likes to keep her in the dark (especially about his "secret"), but then she starts humming the same song Batman performed with, leaving him surprised but amused. |
| 449 | |
| 450 | !!'''Fearful Symmetry''' |
| 451 | * After the Question reveals that he knows exactly what Supergirl eats late at night ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3K-Tenpq8g here]]): |
| 452 | -->'''Supergirl:''' How did yo-- What, do you go through my trash?!\ |
| 453 | '''The Question:''' ''Please''. I go through ''[[ComicallyMissingThePoint everyone's]]'' trash. |

| 455 | -->'''The Question:''' [approaching locked glass door] ''Fell in love again, what am I gonna tell my friends? It just happened. You walked in my door, and now I don't want to be. Alone.

| 457 | !!'''The Greatest Story Never Told''' |
| 458 | * Most of Skeets' lines, but especially when Booster Gold starts ragging on himself and even Skeets' constant stream of encouraging sycophancy finally gives out: "I got nothin'." |
| 459 | ** Skeet's instructions on childbirth: |
| 460 | --->'''Skeet:''' According to my files, we first boil water, then tear up several sheets. Preferably ones we no longer intend to use for bedding... ''[Booster shoves him aside)]'' |
| 461 | ** Followed by Skeets [[PanickyExpectantFather anxiously 'pacing' outside the ambulance]]. |
| 462 | * The running people's reaction to the projected red traffic light. |
| 463 | * Apparently, Booster watched too much ''Franchise/StarTrek'': |
| 464 | -->'''Booster Gold:''' Energize!\ |
| 465 | '''Watchtower Tech:''' Doofus. |
| 466 | * How some people mistake Booster Gold for Green Lantern, much to his annoyance. |
| 467 | -->'''Booster:''' If I were Green Lantern, [[ShapedLikeItself my costume would be green]], wouldn't it? |
| 468 | * Booster seeing Superman crash to the ground nearby, but he learns that the figure is actually [[MythologyGag one-half Superman and one-half Batman]]. Then they reprimand Booster and tell him to get back to his assignment in ''Wonder Woman's voice'', to his disbelief. |
| 469 | |
| 470 | !!'''The Return''' |
| 471 | * On the run from a returning Amazo, Luthor is escorted by Supergirl and Steel to his secret lab, hidden inside... a barbershop. |
| 472 | -->'''Steel:''' Gotta hand it to you, Luthor -- [[BaldOfEvil nobody would think to look for you here]]. |
| 473 | ** He then asks what's next after Luthor gets his nose hairs trimmed. |
| 474 | * When being confronted by nearly the entire Green Lantern Corps, Amazo reveals that he ''hasn't'' destroyed Oa, merely moved it out of his path. Jon Stewart, clearly both immensely relieved and trying ''not'' to scream at the top of his lungs, bites out, "Could you please put it ''back?''" He does so. |
| 475 | |
| 476 | !!'''Ultimatum''' |

| 492 | '''Lantern:''' Yeah, he's tough, but we can handle him. Funny thing is he's supposed to be dead.\ |
| 493 | '''Vixen:''' Aren't all zombies, by definition, dead?\ |
| 494 | '''Lantern:''' [[StunnedSilence I, uh...]] |
| 495 | * Superman's reaction to the unexpected arrival of the [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits odd teamup]] of [[TheAtoner Shayera]], [[HeroicNeutral Doctor Fate]], [[PhysicalGod AMAZO]], and [[IWorkAlone Aquaman]] (note this is the first time Superman had seen Shayera since her self-exile) during their fight against the reincarnated Solomon Grundy. |
| 496 | -->''[The four of them assemble in front of a clearly confused Superman]''\ |
| 497 | '''Superman:''' ''[{{beat}}]'' [[ShrugTake Okay]]. Let's throw a wave of our big guns at him. Me, Fate, and the android. |
| 498 | |
| 499 | !!'''The Once and Future Thing''' |
| 500 | * John insinuates that there might be romance between Bruce and Diana. Bruce shoots it down. |
| 501 | -->'''Batman:''' Diana is a remarkable woman, she's a valued friend. She's... standing RightBehindMe, isn't she?\ |
| 502 | '''Wonder Woman:''' But don't let that stop you. [[DiggingYourselfDeeper Keep digging]]. |
| 503 | ** The bit of dialogue leading up to this is funny in its own right, since not only is ''Batman'' making small talk willingly, he's teasing Green Lantern about his love life. |
| 504 | * David Clinton explains the reason why Tobias Manning kept him alive while he uses his time travel tech to steal technology from the future. |
| 505 | -->'''David Clinton:''' He keeps me here to show him out how to work the stuff he can't figure out for himself.\ |
| 506 | '''Bat Lash:''' Which I'd suspect is most of it, what with him being so mule-stupid and all. |
| 507 | * Warhawk, seeing Green Lantern at the end of Part I: "Dad?" |
| 508 | * Static {{troll}}ing John over his relationship with Shayera. |
| 509 | -->'''Static:''' Shayera was one cranky pregnant lady. Although, to be fair, if I had laid an egg that size...\ |
| 510 | '''Warhawk:''' He's kidding, Dad. |
| 511 | * Hal Jordan is in less than half of one episode, but still manages to get a moment in: |
| 512 | -->'''John Stewart:''' Enid Clinton, we've got--\ |
| 513 | ''[The past is altered mid-sentence, resulting in Hal Jordan being the Franchise/GreenLantern]''\ |
| 514 | '''Hal Jordan:''' --business with your husband. ''[to everyone else]'' [[DefensiveWhat What?]] Hal Jordan. Another time shift. I'm up to speed. Carry on.\ |
| 515 | '''Terry:''' O-kay, I'm starting to get a ''migraine''. |
| 516 | ** And then when Hal Jordan changes back to John Stewart: |
| 517 | --->'''Static:''' Make up your mind! |
| 518 | * There's also a bit between Batman and Old Man Bruce where present-day Bats decides to go out and find information the more ''direct'' way. |
| 519 | -->'''Terry:''' It's not going to work, you don't know your way around here. A lot of things have changed.\ |
| 520 | '''Batman:''' Are criminals still superstitious and cowardly?\ |
| 521 | '''Old Bruce:''' [[BluntYes Yup]].\ |
| 522 | '''Batman:''' Good enough for me. |
| 523 | ** There's also when Batman [[MyFutureSelfAndMe meets his older self]]. |
| 524 | --->'''Terry:''' Batman, Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne, Batman. Or have you met?\ |
| 525 | '''Both Bruce Waynes:''' Not now!\ |
| 526 | '''Terry:''' Great. What did they used to call it? Stereo? |
| 527 | * Ghoul's interrogation. One has to wonder what exactly Old Bruce did to scare him into talking so badly, worse than being threatened with being dropped off a skyscraper by Batman. In fact, Batman is tasked with playing good cop to his future self's bad cop. |
| 528 | -->'''Virgil:''' Wow, Batman playing ''good cop.''\ |
| 529 | '''John:''' Everything's relative. |
| 530 | ** Plus, Ghoul is so scared that he confesses ''everything'', including his problems with bed-wetting. |
| 531 | * There's an [[BlackComedyBurst absolutely golden moment]] where Chronos, having discovered that Chucko was selling information to Batman, drops him back in the age of the dinosaurs. Chucko merely scoffs and declares he can easily defeat the dinosaurs with his weapons. Cue meteor bursting through the clouds. |
| 532 | -->'''Chucko:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Aw, phooey]].\ |
| 533 | ''['''[[ApocalypseWow KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!]]''']'' |
| 534 | ** Then, when Chronos returns to the present: |
| 535 | --->'''Chronos:''' Do you know what killed the dinosaurs? Well, ''Chucko'' does! |
| 536 | * Chronos' wife Enid tries to talk some sense into him. |
| 537 | -->'''Enid:''' Don't blame this on me. I just wanted you to assert yourself, not destroy the universe! |
| 538 | * The end of the episode. Batman and Green Lantern have captured Chronos and are hurtling towards the beginning of time as Batman desperately uploads a program to Chronos' time suit to reset the timeline. The dramatic music swells, the screen fades to black... and abruptly cuts to Batman and Green Lantern having lunch from the last episode, stunned and slack-jawed, unsure if the past two episodes even happened. |
| 539 | * Batman defeats Chronos by making sure he never becomes a supervillain in the first place. He sabotaged his time machine so that he's stuck on an endless GroundhogDayLoop of [[FateWorseThanDeath arguing with his wife, forever]]. |
| 540 | |
| 541 | !!'''The Cat and the Canary''' |
| 542 | * Wildcat is having trouble with some common thugs, and one of them is watching a fight on his laptop after Wildcat was beaten. The commentary from the laptop fits Black Canary appearing and beating up the thugs quite well. Also counts as a [=CMoA=]. |
| 543 | * Green Arrow telling Black Canary that he's "seen her around" (and her knowing reaction to that comment) is pretty funny in light of his DistractedByTheSexy reaction to seeing Black Canary in "Initiation". |
| 544 | |
| 545 | !!'''The Ties That Bind''' |
| 546 | * Flash and the Elongated Man are deep in discussion and bent over what looks like a chessboard, discussing how neither of them is taken seriously by the rest of the League... only for the camera to pan out and reveal that they're actually playing Brawlin' Bots. |
| 547 | -->'''Flash:''' Ha-ha, I bopped your block off!\ |
| 548 | '''EM:''' That's not fair, the green guy's arms are longer!\ |
| 549 | '''Flash:''' Are not! |
| 550 | ** And right as the camera pans out, Flash was asking Elongated Man if he seems [[{{Manchild}} immature]], [[IResembleThatRemark which the latter assures him he doesn't]]. |
| 551 | * The scene where Flash first convinces Barda and Mr. Miracle to let him help them. It's especially adorable how he punctuates it all with "Friends?" Giving Barda the flower is the icing on top. |
| 552 | * "[[MechaMooks Robots!]] I ''love'' smashing robots!" |
| 553 | * Baron Vunderbar produces a good one after he has tried 'every device' to make Kalibak his obedient servant. |
| 554 | -->'''Baron Vunderbar:''' Every device except... ''cake!'' |
| 555 | ** Kalibak actually looks tempted for a moment. |
| 556 | ** The fact that Vunderbar is Arte Johnson reprising his German soldier character from ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'' -- he even does a ShoutOut to his RunningGag from that show: "Ver-r-r-ry interesting... but futile." |
| 557 | * After Oberon is rescued and Mister Miracle opens up a boom tube to take everyone home, Granny Goodness is left wondering how she "failed" Scott. Her thoughts are interrupted by Barda who says "Oh, one more thing" before delivering a massive and [[EvilOldFolks entirely deserved]] punch that knocks Goodness on her back. |
| 558 | * Flash and J'onn pick their players for a game of "Brawlin' Bots": |
| 559 | -->'''Flash:''' Dibs on the green one!\ |
| 560 | '''J'onn:''' [[NotSoAboveItAll I wanted the green one...]] |
| 561 | |
| 562 | !!'''The Doomsday Sanction''' |
| 563 | * As serious as the following conversation is, there's something funny about Batman revealing that he broke into Amanda Waller's house by ''[[RefugeInAudacity handing her a towel while she's in the shower]]''. As is the fact that [[DoubleTake it takes her a second to realize what just happened]]. |
| 564 | * There's a meeting between the Founding Seven discussing Cadmus. Batman mentions that he assigned [[ConspiracyTheorist the Question]] to gather information on the organization. This elicits a CollectiveGroan from the rest. |
| 565 | -->'''Flash:''' Not that kook! |
| 566 | ** Batman comments "I'll admit, he's wound a bit too tightly." That's coming from ''Batman''. |
| 567 | * And right before, when Batman asks what's to stop the Justice League from taking over like the Justice Lords did. |
| 568 | -->'''Flash:''' Me. Those guys went overboard because their Flash died. So as long as you all focus on keeping me alive, that'll never happen here. |
| 569 | ** Needless to say, the other six aren't amused. |
| 570 | |
| 571 | !!'''Task Force X''' |
| 572 | * Colonel Flagg pop-quizzing Plastique on their mission: |
| 573 | -->'''Rick Flagg:''' Okay, Plastique. You're setting the charge, and Superman walks in the room...\ |
| 574 | '''Plastique:''' ''[understandably startled]'' You said he wouldn't be there!\ |
| 575 | '''Rick Flagg:''' Last-minute change in the duty roster. Superman's got the drop on you. What do you do?\ |
| 576 | '''Plastique:''' ...Before or after [[BringMyBrownPants I change my shorts]]? |
| 577 | * After Flagg's team has gotten through Watchtower security. |
| 578 | -->'''Deadshot:''' I thought he was gonna wet himself when you mentioned the Martian. He couldn't let us through fast enough.\ |
| 579 | '''Plastique:''' That was nothin'. I almost lost it when this bonehead set off the metal detector.\ |
| 580 | '''Captain Boomerang:''' 75 cents is 75 cents. I'm supposed to throw away money? |
| 581 | ** And, of course, there's Deadshot trolling Plastique by asking Green Lantern if he could get Hawkgirl's autograph for him. |
| 582 | |
| 583 | !!'''The Balance''' |
| 584 | * Flash is not a very smooth operator. |
| 585 | -->'''Flash:''' ''[all League members stare at him after the disastrous meeting between him, Wonder Woman, and Shayera]'' I had dinner with two women at the same time! 'Cuz I'm a stud! ''[accidentally smooshes his hand into his mashed potatoes; he dejectedly sits back down and licks it off his hand]'' |
| 586 | * Hermes is the Messenger of the Gods -- you'd think he'd be experienced enough not to screw up which scroll he gives to who. |
| 587 | -->'''Wonder Woman:''' ''[reading from scroll]'' "For a good time, call Podenemus"?\ |
| 588 | '''Hermes:''' Wrong scroll. I think I got a shot; ''it's her cell number''. |
| 589 | ** Just before that, Hermes remarks that the message must be pretty important; "Zeus paid for overnight delivery." |
| 590 | ** After being tasked with defeating Felix Faust and restoring Hades to the throne of the underworld, Wonder Woman asks why she should care, given that she hates both men. Hermes deadpans, "You mean, besides the 'direct order from the gods' thing?" |
| 591 | * When Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl are in Hades, some demons see Hawkgirl's wings, and are instantly hesitant to fight her. She plays this for all it's worth, claiming to be an angel, and scaring the demons away. |
| 592 | -->'''Hawkgirl:''' With any luck, they'll ''all'' be that dumb. |
| 593 | * Abnegazzer, the demon Wonder Woman and Shayera capture and then interrogate: |
| 594 | -->'''Shayera:''' One more answer, and it'd better be the right one.\ |
| 595 | '''Abnegazzer:''' Or what? You'll kill me? Gosh, I might end up suffering eternal torment as punishment for my sins! Oh, wait... I ALREADY AM! |
| 596 | ** Then later, after Diana has successfully used her Golden Lasso on him: |
| 597 | --->'''Abnegazzer:''' Now, could you please take this rope off me? I'm a demon. [[GoodHurtsEvil The truth hurts]]. |
| 598 | |
| 599 | !!'''Double Date''' |
| 600 | * At the beginning, you have two {{mooks}} waiting outside their boss's mansion, and this bit of dialogue comes up: |
| 601 | -->'''Cecil:''' But how come when I make the scones, they don't got that good flavor like yours, Tony?\ |
| 602 | '''Tony:''' ''[[[DopeSlap smacks Cecil's head]]]'' Do I have to tell you again how you gotta add the orange zest, Cecil? You gonna make me give you the recipe again, huh? You're killing me here, Cecil! Killing me! |
| 603 | * When Black Canary and Green Arrow are riding on a motorcycle over a train track: |
| 604 | -->'''Green Arrow:''' Are we dead yet?\ |
| 605 | '''Black Canary:''' No.\ |
| 606 | '''Green Arrow:''' ''[voice getting shakier]'' Are we dead yet?\ |
| 607 | '''Black Canary:''' Look, if we die, I promise I'll let you know! |
| 608 | ** Also, this gem: |
| 609 | --->'''Huntress:''' [[OhCrap Train]].\ |
| 610 | '''Question:''' [[CasualDangerDialogue I see it]].\ |
| 611 | '''Huntress:''' Train!\ |
| 612 | '''Question:''' I see it! |
| 613 | ** Black Canary's reaction when it's her turn is but one word: "Whoops." |
| 614 | ** The whole chase is a joint CMOF/A, but the ending seals it. |
| 615 | --->'''Green Arrow''': ''[following the above 'whoops']'' J'onn, get us out of here! NOW!\ |
| 616 | ''[J'onn zetas them off the bike just before impact. Bike is obliterated. As they come out of zeta, momentum dumps them in the bay.]''\ |
| 617 | '''Black Canary:''' I can't believe you! I [[WrenchWench rebuilt that bike by hand]]!\ |
| 618 | '''Arrow:''' You're absolutely right. I'm sorry I saved our lives. ''[Canary swims off in a huff]'' And J'onn thinks Huntress is the unstable one. |
| 619 | * Huntress and Question's first meeting. Naturally, they're not exactly... polite: |
| 620 | -->'''Huntress:''' You're the League's data guy, the conspiracy buff, right? Wildcat says you're a nutjob.\ |
| 621 | '''Question:''' Funny, he says the same thing about you.\ |
| 622 | '''Huntress:''' He's right.\ |
| 623 | '''Question:''' Okay, bored now, goodbye. ''[waves a hand without even looking up from his computer]'' |
| 624 | * Huntress perusing the Question's [[StringTheory conspiracy wall]]: |
| 625 | -->'''Huntress:''' Wow. Had no idea the {{Girl Scouts|AreEvil}} were [[MilkmanConspiracy behind the crop circles]].\ |
| 626 | '''Question:''' Few people do. |
| 627 | |
| 628 | !!'''Clash''' |
| 629 | * This one is good not only for the awesome fight scenes, but also for a couple of hilarious moments from Mr. TheComicallySerious himself, Batman: |
| 630 | -->'''Batman:''' You were a little hard on the Boy Scout, don't you think?\ |
| 631 | '''Superman:''' I thought I was the Boy Scout.\ |
| 632 | '''Batman:''' I did too, 'til I met Captain ''Marvel''.\ |
| 633 | '''Superman:''' Why are you -- why is ''everyone'' defending him?\ |
| 634 | '''Batman:''' We like him. He's... ''sunny''. |
| 635 | * As well as this: |
| 636 | -->'''Batman:''' What did these guys want anyway?\ |
| 637 | '''Superman:''' To take over the world. Or rob banks. I forget. |
| 638 | ** Notably, they have the dialogue before this one while they're ''[[CasualDangerDialogue mopping the floor with said villains]]''. |
| 639 | * Superman's busy rescuing a plane and is late to the battle at the beginning; the (still-unseen) Captain Marvel flies past him, knocking Supes' cape over and into his face. |
| 640 | |
| 641 | !!'''Hunter's Moon''' |
| 642 | * Vigilante is ripe with Funny Moments (which should come as no surprise, considering who [[Creator/NathanFillion voices him]]), but one of his funniest moments is when he nabs the Thanagarians' ship in an attempt to rescue Vixen and Shayera. |
| 643 | -->'''Vigilante:''' ''Consarned, dang-blasted, horse-thievin', alien control panel which can't nobody work proper!'' ''[flies beneath Vixen, who is free-falling]'' I'M COMIN', DARLIN'! YEEEEEEE-HAW! |
| 644 | * A little while later, while Vixen and Paran Dul's fight in the back of the ship makes things a bit rocky: |
| 645 | -->'''Vigilante:''' Y'both mind!? Student driver up here! |
| 646 | |
| 647 | !!'''Question Authority''' |
| 648 | * During an ElectricTorture sequence, the Question resists interrogation by only revealing random useless facts, such as the name for [[WhatTheHeckIsAnAglet those little plastic caps at the end of a shoelace]]. He then adds, "Their true purpose is sinister." This being the Question, [[ConspiracyTheorist he may be serious]]. |
| 649 | * Question's capture, specifically how Luthor manages to outwit him. The Question thinks Luthor running for president will eventually lead to the end of the world as shown in the Justice Lords alternate universe. The Question's solution is killing Luthor before Superman can. The reason this doesn't work? ''The Question didn't count on how [[EvilIsPetty petty]] Luthor can be.'' |
| 650 | -->'''Luthor:''' That's right, conspiracy buff. I spent 75 million dollars on a fake presidential campaign, all just to ''tick Superman off.'' |
| 651 | * Also, when Supes is busy holding up the teleportation platform for repairs he comments "I could do this all day. Not that I ''want'' to." The Question approaches -- "Something I can help you with?" "I think so, but I assume you don't want to talk about your '[[UnusualEuphemism White House weenie roast]]' in front of a crowd?" Supes promptly drops the platform. |
| 652 | |
| 653 | !!'''Flashpoint''' |
| 654 | |
| 655 | !!'''Panic in the Sky''' |
| 656 | * Batman opines that Lex has a PhotographicMemory capable of memorizing AMAZO's schematics from the previous season. Lex sheepishly responds, "[[BlatantLies I'm too modest to boast]]." |
| 657 | * Lex asks a defeated Amanda Waller if she really thought she could beat him all by herself. |
| 658 | -->'''Waller:''' Actually, yeah. But on the off chance I was wrong...\ |
| 659 | ''[[[BigDamnHeroes Cue the Big Seven showing up behind Luthor]]]''\ |
| 660 | '''Flash:''' [[MomentKiller Ta-daa!]] |
| 661 | * When Batman confronts Luthor at [=LexCorp=], and Luthor monologues about his EvilPlan to ascend into godhood and murder Superman and the League. [[DeadpanSnarker Batman]] gives probably the best [[ShutUpHannibal response to any supervillain scheme]] ever: |
| 662 | -->'''Batman:''' Sorry. Maybe next time.\ |
| 663 | ''[throws the batarang at the android]'' |
| 664 | ** Lex catches the batarang in midair, and deadpans "That... was uncalled for." And then hits Batman with a tool bench. |
| 665 | * Another one is that after the remaining League in the Watchtower defeat the Ultimen clones, the power reboots back on and the lights return to the station, prompting cheers ("Yay!"). A second later, the power cuts out again, with widespread groans ("Aww!"). |
| 666 | * When Lex Luthor takes control of the JL's satellite and fires its main gun at the Earth, the founding Leaguers agree to turn themselves in to the US government as a show of faith. Batman, however, decides to follow a separate lead. |
| 667 | -->'''Soldier:''' Where's Batman?\ |
| 668 | '''Flash:''' Running late. The Batmobile, it lost a wheel. The Joker got away. ''[{{Beat}}]'' That's what I heard. |
| 669 | |
| 670 | !!'''Divided We Fall''' |
| 671 | * The Flash butts in on Luthor and Brainiac's conversation: |
| 672 | -->'''Flash:''' Hate to interrupt this special live performance of ''The Thing with Two Heads'', but it's time to go to jail now.\ |
| 673 | '''Waller:''' What he said. |
| 674 | * Hawkgirl, after a fair bit of expository dialogue between Lexiac and Superman: "Less talking, more hitting!" |
| 675 | * Just before Braniac forces an [[BuffySpeak electric-tendril-thing]] into his chest, Flash says, "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck I am so willing to wait my turn]]." |
| 676 | * When Lexiac's Justice Lord Flash tries to prey on Flash's insecurities, Flash just responds that he has a seat at the conference table. "I'm gonna paint my logo on it!" |
| 677 | * After Green Lantern shows just a little too much enthusiasm in smashing the Justice Lord Hawkgirl: |
| 678 | -->'''Hawkgirl:''' ''[right behind him]'' You enjoyed that a little too much...\ |
| 679 | '''Green Lantern:''' ''[shrugs]'' Just letting off some steam. She broke my heart, you know.\ |
| 680 | '''Hawkgirl:''' ''[knocks Justice Lord Green Lantern's head clean off with her mace]'' Likewise, I'm sure. ''[head plops down somewhere yards away]'' |
| 681 | |
| 682 | !!'''Epilogue''' |
| 683 | * "Getting [Bruce Wayne's] DNA was easy. [[InnocentInnuendo He left it all over town]]... Not ''remotely'' [[ThatCameOutWrong what I meant]]." The expression on Terry's face is what really sells it. One little FascinatingEyebrow says so much. |
| 684 | ** The real kicker is that Waller doesn't even look at Terry while responding; it's like she just ''senses'' the eyebrow raise. |
| 685 | * Hearing Bruce scolding Terry about being out late like some nagging grandparent, delivered in his typical deadpan. |
| 686 | -->'''Bruce:''' Where the devil have you been? [...] You could've called. I made you some soup, but it's cold. |
| 687 | ** For an added dose of {{Irony}}, Terry leaves the soup and says he'll eat after he comes back from patrol. It took over sixty years, but Bruce has found himself on the receiving end of what he always did to Alfred. |
| 688 | |
| 689 | !!'''I Am Legion''' |
| 690 | * Flash has a crush on Fire. |
| 691 | -->'''Hawkgirl:''' [[DudeShesALesbian I hear she's... you know...]] ''[[LastSecondWordSwap Brazilian]].''\ |
| 692 | '''Flash:''' ''[deadpan]'' Ha-ha. |
| 693 | * When en route to the trouble, Fire gets out of her seat to try talking to him, as [[AscendedFanboy she'd always dreamed of working with the Justice League]], inadvertently showing off some cleavage in the process. [[CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest This renders him practically speechless]]. Hawkgirl, more than fed up with the situation, deliberately swerves the plane so that [[MeetCute Fire lands in Flash's lap]]. |
| 694 | * When Lex holds the elderly Blackhawk hostage to get away: |
| 695 | -->'''Blackhawk:''' I'm sorry. If I was twenty years younger...\ |
| 696 | '''Lex:''' You'd ''still'' be ancient. Keep quiet. |
| 697 | * After stealing the Spear of Destiny for Grodd, Luthor asks if Grodd intends to sell it to the highest bidder or use it for world domination. Grodd says that actually, he's going to use it to decorate his office. Luthor is left speechless at having risked his life just for that, before admitting that it's ActuallyPrettyFunny. |
| 698 | |
| 699 | !!'''Shadow of the Hawk''' |
| 700 | * Green Lantern's exclamation on [[SheCleansUpNicely seeing Hawkgirl in a dress]]: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak533nC6tb8 Shayera, I wanted to... JUDAS PRIEST]]!" |
| 701 | * Batman revealing that Carter's been stalking her, and serving as her White Knight against the Internet's legion of Hawkgirl haters (57 webrings, with unaffiliated sites going into the hundreds). |
| 702 | * "How stupid do you think I am?" "[[DeadpanSnarker Scale of one to ten?]]" |
| 703 | |
| 704 | !!'''Chaos at the Earth's Core''' |
| 705 | * The opening, set in Japan where Supergirl is beating up a Film/{{Gamera}} CaptainErsatz, has Stargirl grumbling about the other heroine "stealing her thunder" and getting her shin kicked by a fangirl. Stargirl tries to score some points by pointing out that her stepdad, Stripe, drives a mecha, but the fangirl just scoffs: "[[SoLastSeason Mecha so last year]]." |
| 706 | * The interaction between Stargirl and Warlord as they both look over the ragtag group that's gathered to fight the local tyrant. |
| 707 | -->'''Stargirl:''' Geez, you call ''that'' an army? \ |
| 708 | '''Warlord:''' Most of these folks have lost everything to Deimos. [[DeadpanSnarker So, you know, feel free to dump on them]]. |
| 709 | * Deimos comes with his army and the heroes ready for a fight. Supergirl, who has lost her powers, doesn't want to be left out. The speed of the following exchange sells it. |
| 710 | -->'''Green Lantern:''' Supergirl, you stay--\ |
| 711 | '''Supergirl:''' ''[jumps down with a sword raised, giving a battle cry]''\ |
| 712 | '''Green Lantern:''' ...Fine. |
| 713 | |
| 714 | !!'''To Another Shore''' |
| 715 | * Green Arrow singing [[{{Leitmotif}} his own musical theme]] as he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GMbeQe0klA&t=10s charges into battle]]. |
| 716 | * "And Black Canary said a [[TrickArrow buzzsaw arrow]] was self-indulgent." |
| 717 | * "While I strongly suggest that you surrender immediately and prepare to be boarded, I really enjoy firing Trident missiles at tiny little subs, so the decision's entirely up to you." |
| 718 | * J'onn forces Killer Frost to stop an avalanche that is threatening to kill civilians, which she manages to do by exerting her powers to their furthest limits. Afterward, J'onn gently congratulates her on a job well done. KF's response is... not gracious. |
| 719 | -->'''Killer Frost:''' ''[voice cracking with exhaustion]'' Kiss my frosted ''butt!'' |
| 720 | |
| 721 | !!'''Flash and Substance''' |
| 722 | * The episode is terrific; not only does it feature the aforementioned Flash and Batman, but also Orion, who's an even bigger case of TheComicallySerious than Batman (which is saying something). And the scene where Flash interrogates the Trickster was probably the funniest thing ever on the show. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, too. |
| 723 | -->'''Flash:''' ''[admonishingly] James'', you're off your meds, aren't you?\ |
| 724 | '''Trickster:''' [[NoMedicationForMe Better off without 'em]]. Take 'em if I start feeling down.\ |
| 725 | '''Flash:''' You know that's not how the medicine works. You're not well!\ |
| 726 | '''Trickster:''' I'm ''fine! [brightens up]'' ...You wanna throw some darts?\ |
| 727 | '''Flash:''' No. ''[beat]'' Listen, James, you're wearing the suit again.\ |
| 728 | '''Trickster:''' I ''am''? ''[looks down at his costume]'' Well, what do you know...?\ |
| 729 | '''Flash:''' Here's the deal, buddy. Tell me where those guys went, and I'll come see you in the hospital. We'll play darts! The soft kind.\ |
| 730 | '''Trickster:''' ''[smiles widely]'' Okay, they're gonna ambush you at the Flash Museum.\ |
| 731 | '''Flash:''' See? That's all we needed! ''[to Batman and Orion]'' Come on, we better get over there.\ |
| 732 | '''Orion:''' What about your enemy?\ |
| 733 | '''Flash:''' Oh, right. Dude, as soon as you finish your drink, turn yourself in.\ |
| 734 | '''Trickster:''' ''[raises mug in salute]'' Got me again, Flash! |
| 735 | * The Trickster is ''made'' of CMOF. Like his conversation with the other three Flash Rogues in that episode. |
| 736 | -->'''Mirror Master:''' Here we are, the hardest men in town, and we all have something in common.\ |
| 737 | '''Trickster:''' [[AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering Bilateral symmetry]]. |
| 738 | * The continuation of the conversation: |
| 739 | -->'''Waitress:''' What'll it be, boys?\ |
| 740 | '''Captain Boomerang:''' Arnold Palmer.[[note]]iced tea with lemonade[[/note]]\ |
| 741 | '''Trickster:''' Cherry Cola.\ |
| 742 | '''Mirror Master:''' Decaf soy latte.\ |
| 743 | '''Captain Cold:''' Milk.\ |
| 744 | ''[others stare at him]''\ |
| 745 | '''Captain Cold:''' ''[sheepishly]'' My ulcer's been acting up. |
| 746 | ** And he says "Milk" like he's hoping if he sounds gruff enough, nobody will notice. |
| 747 | * Mirror Master: "Boomer, must you always plead poverty?" |
| 748 | * The following one-sided conversation between Batman and Orion: |
| 749 | -->'''Orion:''' I can't believe you let that buffoon manipulate you. You'd never see me at one of these museum openings.\ |
| 750 | ''[Batman gives him a "you just volunteered" stare]''\ |
| 751 | '''Orion:''' ...It's not black tie, is it? |
| 752 | ** Hell, the fact that Orion, a ''New God'' and the ''son of Darkseid'', is as intimidated by Batman as everyone else. |
| 753 | * Flash's LameComeback: |
| 754 | -->'''Flash:''' Mirror Master!\ |
| 755 | '''Mirror Master:''' You're as quick as ever!\ |
| 756 | '''Flash:''' Yeah? Well, you're... You're not really all there!\ |
| 757 | '''Mirror Master:''' [[SarcasmMode Oooh! Nice try!]] If you had another minute, you'd probably think of a decent comeback! |
| 758 | * This dialogue: |
| 759 | -->'''Linda Park:''' When we come back, I'll try to get with him... Get ''[[VerbalBackspace to]]'' him... For an interview... Are we off? Geez. He's a total babe. Like the entire track team at once. I can't believe you're not into him, Marla.\ |
| 760 | '''Marla:''' Okay... ''Now'' [[IsThisThingStillOn you're off]]. ''[Linda slaps a paper on her face in embarrassment]'' |
| 761 | * When Captain Boomerang sends dozens of exploding boomerangs after Flash, Flash tries to get rid of some of them by catching and throwing them away. [[BoomerangComeback Naturally, they turn right back]], and Flash can only {{Facepalm}} and say "Duh". |
| 762 | * The ''Flash'', stuck on a flying, giant, spinning boomerang, to Captain Boomerang, who is watching him on it: "I swear, when I get out of this, I'm gonna find you and hurl all over you!" |
| 763 | ** When Flash crash-lands right in front of Batman and Orion, the casual dialogue between them is amusing. Doubly so because of Creator/RonPerlman's deadpan delivery of Orion's line and the fact that he's standing at parade rest: |
| 764 | --->'''Orion:''' Flash...\ |
| 765 | '''Flash:''' Hey, guys.\ |
| 766 | '''Orion:''' You're tied to a very large boomerang. |
| 767 | * After both Mirror Master and Captain Boomerang's attempts to kill the Flash fail, the Trickster tells them his overelaborate plan ("[[TemptingFate Nothing as stupid as a giant boomerang]]."), all the while Boomer and Mirror master are clearly inconvenienced by the idea of listening to him. Then Captain Cold has a better idea. |
| 768 | -->'''Captain Cold:''' You know what? [[MookChivalry Taking turns]] is dumb. Let's just all jump him at the museum. |
| 769 | * Trickster's plan is itself very funny simply because of how {{undignified|Death}} [[CruelAndUnusualDeath the Flash's death]] would have been. |
| 770 | -->'''Trickster:''' Firstly, I get four hundred cases of fake dog vomit, I grease the bottoms of them, and when the Flash runs into them, the whole mess slides into a wall of metal spikes! The cases break open, and what's left of the Flash is buried alive in phony barf. And then ''[cackles]'' everything explodes! |
| 771 | ** When the Rogues just ignore him and head off to ambush Flash at the museum, the Trickster tries again. |
| 772 | --->'''Trickster:''' Okay, you don't like the barf? I can make do with fifty thousand rotten eggs and a {{chainsaw|Good}}. |
| 773 | * Orion ''punching the head'' off of a cardboard Flash standee [[ContinuityNod from when Flash was shilling energy bars]]. |
| 774 | -->'''Flash:''' Dude! That was my last standee.\ |
| 775 | '''Orion:''' It... startled me. |
| 776 | * Wally has a ''drawer'' full of costume rings with spare costumes. He comments "The hard part is getting them back ''into'' the ring." [[FridgeLogic Where's he getting them all from?]] |
| 777 | * Mirror Master trapped in a shattered mirror and babbling at the CSI guy sweeping the pieces into a bag: |
| 778 | -->'''Mirror Master:''' Are you sure that's all the pieces? I demand a full accounting! Where's my lawyer!? I know my rights, ''you obscene caricature of a civil servant''...! |
| 779 | |
| 780 | !!'''Dead Reckoning''' |
| 781 | * Deadman possesses Superman mid-sentence as he talks about a restaurant in Metropolis he likes, resulting in: |
| 782 | -->'''Superman:''' And the milkshakes are so thick-- ''[possessed]'' --I need your help.\ |
| 783 | '''Wonder Woman:''' That's pretty thick. |
| 784 | ** When they get to Gorilla City, he possesses someone else, leaving a confused Superman behind. |
| 785 | --->'''Superman:''' --[[{{Unpaused}} you have to eat them with a spoon]]! ...What am I doing in Africa? |
| 786 | * Later in the episode, Gorilla Grodd reveals his secret EvilPlan: |
| 787 | -->'''Grodd:''' I will turn every man, woman, and child on Earth... INTO AN APE!\ |
| 788 | ''[Grodd's allies and enemies are all turned into gorillas]'' |
| 789 | ** What's Lex Luthor's reaction after it happens, and he looks at his [[BaldOfEvil still hairless]] body? |
| 790 | --->'''Lex:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Why am I not surprised]]? |
| 791 | ** At the end, Luthor usurps control of the Secret Society from Grodd. He says that he was going to wait a little longer, but decided to move earlier because [[DisappointedByTheMotive Grodd's grand plan to turn people into apes was just too ridiculous]]. |
| 792 | * When Wonder Woman is turned into a gorilla, her reaction is "[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh, come on!]]" |
| 793 | |
| 794 | !!'''Patriot Act''' |
| 795 | * Several of the non-superpowered League members are fighting a supersoldier (the mutated Gen. Wade Eiling) who keeps demanding that Superman come to fight him. Green Arrow, who has been requesting backup from the Watchtower throughout the whole fight, receives word that reinforcements are on the way. This leads to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9KhcGtE4Cs the following:]] |
| 796 | -->'''Green Arrow:''' ''[to Eiling]'' Well you wanted Superman? Now you got-- ''[two people teleport in]'' ...the Crimson Avenger and my ex-sidekick.\ |
| 797 | '''Speedy:''' ''[having just teleported in]'' Ex-''[[InsistentTerminology partner]]!''\ |
| 798 | '''Green Arrow:''' Speedy, we gotta do this ''now''? |
| 799 | * After Eiling effortlessly swats the Avenger and starts advancing: |
| 800 | -->'''Eiling''': You spoiled, rich little twerp!\ |
| 801 | '''Green Arrow:''' ''[while pelting him with arrows, including one stolen from Speedy's quiver]'' I think he means me.\ |
| 802 | '''Speedy:''' ''[likewise, deadpan]'' Oh. For a second, I was all mad. |
| 803 | * When General Eiling is confronted with his {{hypocri|te}}sy (declaring that he's trying to keep the world safe from metahumans by beating up on non-power Leaguers as a hulking monster) by the crowd, Creator/JKSimmons' line read is hilariously casual, as if he's just arguing over what to have for dinner. |
| 804 | -->'''Eiling:''' All right, I've become what I hate, I'll give you that. |
| 805 | |
| 806 | !!'''The Great Brain Robbery''' |
| 807 | * The page quote for MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: |
| 808 | -->'''Flash:''' ''[in Luthor's body]'' My fellow bad guys. I, Lex Luthor, your leader, will speak now about my, Lex Luthor's, plan. My villainous, villainous plan. Question the plan at your peril! Uh... any questions? |
| 809 | * At the beginning of the episode, Sinestro expresses concerns about Luthor's leadership: |
| 810 | -->'''Sinestro:''' After Grodd tried to turn the world into apes, you can imagine how seriously we take something like that. What are you going to do, [[BaldOfEvil make everybody bald]]? |
| 811 | * Bizarro has one with this line as he's trying to figure out what's wrong with Lex: |
| 812 | -->'''Bizarro:''' Ever since you plug into monkey's head, you act perfectly sane and rational. Am you Bizarro's mommy? |
| 813 | ** What nobody at the table realizes is that Bizarro speaks in [[EloquentInMyNativeTongue Bizarro speech]], where [[GoodIsBadAndBadIsGood good is bad and hate is love]]. If that's applied to what he is saying here he's saying: since the incident Luthor has been acting crazy and irrational, you are not Luthor. Of course, Bizarro being the [[OnlySaneMan craziest one]] there, they just ignore him. |
| 814 | ** Flash fielding the "answer" from Bizarro by sincerely responding, "Excellent! Do enlighten us." Tala looks shocked that Lex would even bother to ''humor'' the big lug. |
| 815 | * "Watch your step, my evil minion. You presume too much! One of these days, you'll go too far." |
| 816 | * The episode cements the ''WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}''-ish flavor that the final season had for most of its duration, though in a much better way than Hanna-Barbera used to do. The icing on the cake has to go to Luthor, as the Flash, inadvertently discovering Green Lantern's weakness. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU11CiKZJJw It must be seen to be believed.]] |
| 817 | * Just after beating up Green Lantern and Doctor Fate in the cafeteria, Luthor-as-Flash runs off... then [[NotSoAboveItAll immediately nips back]] to [[EnemyEatsYourLunch shovel some food into his mouth]]. Though it was more likely due [[FridgeBrilliance to the Flash having a high metabolism rate]]... |
| 818 | * "Lex Luthor" is so evil, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh1CqCAc2fE he doesn't even wash his hands]]. Made even more hilarious by Dr. Polaris' reaction, as though [[EvenEvilHasStandards he's shocked by how evil that is]]. |
| 819 | -->'''Polaris:''' Are you gonna wash your hands?\ |
| 820 | '''"Lex":''' No... ''[='=]Cause I'm evil''. |
| 821 | * And this: |
| 822 | -->'''Tala:''' Come rest in here, darling.\ |
| 823 | ''[Tala drags "Lex" into a room]''\ |
| 824 | '''"Lex":''' Hey! That's not restful. |
| 825 | ** The following scene implies that Flash is [[LousyLoversAreLosers better in bed than Luthor]]. Makes for an awesome BrickJoke at the end when [[AllWomenAreLustful Tala is disappointed]] when [[PreferableImpersonator Lex returns to his body]]. |
| 826 | * Flash-as-Luthor's awkward tip-toeing and his reaction to Tala: |
| 827 | -->'''Tala:''' Dr. Polaris is ''this'' close to open revolt. I want to punish him, baby. So... very... badly...\ |
| 828 | '''"Lex":''' Uh... sure. One question: do I know you?\ |
| 829 | '''Tala:''' ''[touches his head like she's checking for fever]'' |
| 830 | * Meanwhile, Lex is having his own difficulties in ''his'' borrowed body: |
| 831 | -->'''"The Flash":''' If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity. ''[[[DramaticUnmask takes off the Flash's mask and briefly studies his face in the mirror]]]'' [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome ...I have no idea who this is]]. |
| 832 | * "Just be careful with my head. It's where I keep all my one-liners." |
| 833 | * When Green Lantern and Dr. Fate are trying to make sure Flash is the real Flash. |
| 834 | -->'''Green Lantern:''' Sounds like Wally, but is there any way to be sure?\ |
| 835 | '''Flash:''' You want proof? Until he went off into the Marines, GL's [[EmbarrassingNickname nickname]] was--\ |
| 836 | '''Green Lantern:''' STOP! It's him. [[NoodleIncident Man, you promised never to repeat that story]]!\ |
| 837 | '''Flash:''' I know. [[ItAmusedMe I just felt like messing with your head]]. |
| 838 | |
| 839 | !!'''Grudge Match''' |
| 840 | * The Question's obsessive, maniacal search for The Truth continues. |
| 841 | -->'''Question:''' ''[perusing a Baskin-Robbins' freezer]'' Aha! As I suspected: thirty-''two'' flavors! |
| 842 | |
| 843 | !!'''Far From Home''' |
| 844 | * Supergirl and her future boyfriend are introduced to each other. |
| 845 | -->'''Brainiac 5:''' I'm sure this must be disorienting for you. My name is...\ |
| 846 | '''Supergirl:''' Brainiac!\ |
| 847 | '''Brainiac 5:''' Yes. How did you... [[OhCrap Uh-oh]].\ |
| 848 | ''[she tries to clobber him]'' |
| 849 | * As they start to get along, Supergirl is constantly hitting on Brainiac 5, who mostly reacts with confusion, while Green Arrow is openly [[ShipperOnDeck shipping them]]. |
| 850 | -->'''Green Arrow''': I'm gonna raid this dump. See if I can't upgrade my arrows with some future tech. I'll be gone for a long time, so [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone you two are stuck with each other, alone]]. ''For a long time.'' |
| 851 | * Later, Superman asks Green Lantern and Green Arrow: "Now, this boy Kara likes so much... does he have a name?" Cue awkward looks on Green Lantern and Green Arrow's faces as they realize they need to explain that ''technically'', Kara is dating one of three beings in the ''entire universe'' that [[NiceGuy Superman]] ''actually hates''. |
| 852 | |
| 853 | !!'''Ancient History''' |
| 854 | * Mari and Shayera are working out and Mari says that since she's going out of town for a photoshoot, this would be a good time for Shayera to make a move on John Stewart. Shayera jokes that she still doesn't quite understand the "customs" of Earth, since back on Thangar she'd either beat her rival's face in or poison their water. When Mari leaves, Shayera tosses her a bottle of water. Mari says thanks, then remembers Shayera's joke and wisely chucks the bottle in the trash. |
| 855 | |
| 856 | !!'''Alive!''' |
| 857 | * Luthor is commanding the Legion of Doom to build another device. We get this gem: |
| 858 | -->'''Lex:''' Sinestro, don't forget the floor, I want radiation shielding from every direction. Rampage... ''[loud shaking noise, cut to Bizarro trying to put a square box into a round plug]'' ...help Bizarro. |
| 859 | ** It helps that his tone of voice goes right from "Commanding" to "SurroundedByIdiots". |
| 860 | ** Additional humor comes from the VisualPun. Bizarro is ''literally'' trying to beat a square peg into a round hole. |
| 861 | |
| 862 | !!'''Destroyer''' |
| 863 | * Toyman is surrounded by Parademons. He shoots at them with Nerf gun darts, and as the shots harmlessly bounce off, the Parademons stare in confusion... [[FingerPokeOfDoom until they all explode]]. |
| 864 | * How does the Question, a conspiracy theorist with no powers, contribute to the final battle? By [[CarFu running over attacking Parademons with his car]]. |
| 865 | * Wonder Woman is fighting parademons at the Great Wall of China when a man standing on the wall volunteers to help. Wonder Woman tries to warn him off for his own protection, only to watch him take out two parademons with two solid haymakers. Wonder Woman can only issue a stunned utterance: |
| 866 | -->'''Wonder Woman:''' Hera... |
| 867 | ** Of course, it then turns out that the volunteer was J'onn. |
| 868 | * After Batman manages to dodge Darkseid's Omega Beams, Darkseid openly wonders if Lex Luthor will be as agile. Lex takes [[OhCrap one look]] at Darkseid's [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing eyes]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere jumps away]]. |
| 869 | -->'''Darkseid:''' [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Excellent strategy]]. |
| 870 | * One of the final lines of all ''JLU'', when Flash overhears Martian Manhunter on the phone: |
| 871 | -->'''J'onn:''' I should be back in time for dinner. I love you too.\ |
| 872 | '''Flash:''' [[SignOfTheApocalypse These are the end times...]] |
| 873 | * At the very end of it all, the Legion of Doom has just assisted the Justice League to defeat the forces of Apokalips. When the Legion learn that they're about to be arrested, Atomic Skull insists that they should be compensated for helping them. Batman reluctantly agrees... |
| 874 | -->'''Batman:''' [[MercyLead Five-minute head start]].\ |
| 875 | '''Atomic Skull:''' Five minutes? Are you kidding?\ |
| 876 | '''Wonder Woman:''' Four minutes, fifty seconds.\ |
| 877 | ''[The Legion starts running, though Giganta steals a kiss from Flash before leaving. As the League prepares to pursue, Bats and Supes have a final OddCouple moment.]''\ |
| 878 | '''Superman:''' A head start? You're getting soft in your old age.\ |
| 879 | '''Batman:''' Don't you have a tall building to go leap?\ |
| 880 | '''Wonder Woman:''' AndTheAdventureContinues...\ |
| 881 | ''[Final CurtainCall to end the series.]'' |

| 883 | |
| 884 | [[folder:''Comics'']] |
| 885 | * One story from the ''Unlimited'' comic has Batman visiting Kent Farm for Christmas. Pa Kent, not knowing Batman's SecretIdentity, tells him to keep an eye on people like ComicBook/LexLuthor and ''Bruce Wayne''. |
| 886 | * One of the ''Unlimited'' comic issues sees Jonah Hex pull a ''Film/DirtyHarry'' on a mook. Sort of. |
| 887 | -->'''Hex:''' I know what you're thinkin'. You're thinkin' my ray gun done ran outta rays, so I ditched it. You're thinkin' I've got six bullets in my reg'lar against all that metal and fancy zaps you got, so how can I have a chance? I guess the question you gotta ask yourself is... "Why was I so busy listenin' to Jonah Hex that I didn't hear Bat Lash sneaking up on me?"\ |
| 888 | ''[Bat Lash smacks the grunt in the back of the head with a rifle]'' |
| 889 | * In ''Justice League Beyond 2.0'' #3, the League faces a problem they cannot solve: Superman asking for dating tips. The group's ReactionShot is hilarious enough, but then there are their various suggestions. Superman is so desperate that he even goes to Old Man Bruce and the wizard Shazam for advice! Seriously, who in their right mind would go to ''Bruce Wayne'' for advice on their love life? |
