* The Z-8 drone that appears in the ''Unlimited'' episode "Fearful Symmetry" makes a recursive moment for the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "Zeta". By building Zeta out of an old training drone chassis, it makes it really hard to track who actually made it, on the off chance it was compromised or destroyed.

* The lyrics of Batman's song in "This little piggy" actually describe Bats pretty well: "[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries There was a time I was the only one]]" / "[[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond and now I am the sad and only one]]"... not sure if intentional or not, though.

* In "Maid of Honour", since we never find out the fate of the King of Kaznia and the rail-gun destroys the castle where he was last shown, we're left with the realisation that ''Batman'' of all people may have just accidentally killed Princess Audrey's father with a big honking space-gun!
** Wasn't he supposed to be at the hospital?
** Actually, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of a Kaznian soldier carrying someone in purple, similar to what the king was wearing in bed, away from the palace over his shoulder.

* More like a Fridge TearJerker, but reflect on this: It's probably not long after the finale that Tim Drake is kidnapped by the Joker and Harley Quin. That incident is what leads to Bruce slowly cutting himself off from all contact until we see him old and alone in "Rebirth". Look back at how many allies Bruce had to have gained through the League, especially how close he was to Clark and Diana; realize that he'll eventually be shutting THEM out as well.Sorta sours that ending, doesn't it?

* In "Hereafter", after Superman is apparently killed, Flash stops Diana from killing Toyman, stating that they (especially Superman) "don't do that to [their] enemies". [[IncrediblyLamePun Flash]] forward to JLU and "Divided We Fall", when Luthor has apparently killed Flash: who springs forward to stop Superman from killing Luthor? Diana. And then she's stopped by Batman, who trusts Clark and knows he won't commit murder, because even in these circumstances, "[they] don't do that to [their] enemies".

1. He can still claim he didn't technically kill his opponent since most of them survive it and become docile as a result.
2. He killed President Luthor with heat vision. As much as he claims he's better off without him Lord Superman is trying to fill the void Luthor left by reliving killing him over and over again.

* In the climax of "Legends," it's clearly established that the Justice Guild is merely a figment of the mutant boy's imagination. So why did they turn on him, if they were part of his own fantasy? Simple. Even in the boy's own version of reality, he simply could not imagine them doing anything other than the right thing. Even if it meant taking him down, and ending their own existence.

* Justice Lord Superman's tendency to use heat vision to lobotomize people makes sense for 2 reasons:
1. He can still claim he didn't technically kill his opponent since most of them survive it and become docile as a result.
2. He killed President Luthor with heat vision. As much as he claims he's better off without him Lord Superman is trying to fill the void Luthor left by reliving killing him over and over again.

* When Aquaman saves Grundy in "The Terror Beyond," he gets Grundy to come with him by promising him gold. Grundy doesn't seem to have any want to buy anything and just enjoys having it (rubbing it lovingly against his face), though once he becomes aware of how he has no soul, he calls the gold worthless and demands that. Grundy's love of gold is either a holdover from his past life as a greedy, materialistic gangster, or an unconscious pining for the human side of himself; Cyrus ''Gold.''

The Awesome page clocked the Flash at traveling one-fourth the speed of light during that scene. He became the ultimate kinetic weapon.

Added DiffLines:

* During Flash's battle with Brainthor in "Divided We Fall", we see the former literally circling the Earth in a matter of seconds for a running start. This requires traveling at a fraction of the speed of light. At that speed, the kinetic energy would flatten any object in his path. Raindrops. Insects. Birds. Buildings. ''People''. It's the horizontal version of NotTheFallThatKillsYou. And Flash has milliseconds to react and veer off should he spot something--or someone--in his way.
** This goes back to FridgeBrilliance in terms of why the first strike at Brainthor took ten seconds, whereas the Flash could later strike him four times in a couple of seconds: he needed time to determine the safest path around the world.
