History Heartwarming / SupermanBatmanApocalypse

* Supergirl remembering her mother's name and [[CallBack telling it to Batman]], getting a [[WhenSheSmiles rare smile]] out of [[TheStoic him]]. It's even more touching when you [[FridgeBrilliance think about it]] and take Batman's past/the death of his parents into consideration. It may have seemed odd to ask her if she even remembers her mother's name, but given how the death of Bruce's parents affected him, the idea that someone can't remember the name of their own mother or father-who died right before their very eyes, would obviously bother someone like Bruce, who won't ''ever'' forget that moment or the memory of his parents. Telling Batman the name of her deceased mother was not only a CMOH for Kara's character(heck, Bruce too) on a surface level, but on a deeper one too. At that point, they had truly come to an understanding of one another.
** The development of the relationship between Kara and Batman is heartwarming overall. At the very end, Kara(and the audience) wait for Batman's reaction, and when he [[WhenSheSmiles smiles]] in approval, Kara is shown really taking in the moment. Prior to this, she was still a bit hesitant if she was as fit for the role as she thought. If she could win [[TheStoic Bat]][[JerkWithAHeartOfGold man]]'s approval, then there wasn't much to worry about at all.

* Superman bringing Kara to his family's farm [[spoiler:([[MoodWhiplash before Darkseid bursts in and ruins the moment]])]], basically telling her that she can live there, and maybe consider it home-''if she wants to'' basically...Supergirl, during the course of the movie, felt that everybody kept making decisions for her-and she doesn't get a say, not only that, she never truly felt like she belonged anywhere-the only family she's ever known is dead. And Clark is now the only family she has, but while she latched onto the only living family member she had left-she still felt like the type of world-the type of life...he has and lives-is one she doesn't fit or belong in. But the moment they are in the front yard of Clark's old home in quiet and ordinary Smallville...Kara looks down and sees a little family of a mother hen and her chicks walk on by past them...she smiles, thinking she can truly find a home here-and consider Earth her new home and family-with Clark and his adoptive family...commenting, "I think I'm gonna like it here."

** Overall, the development of the relationship between Kara and Batman is Heartwarming.

** In retrospect, Batman's final gamble to Darkseid - threatening to destroy Apokolips itself with the Hell Spores unless he lets Kara go - is also one. Despite his innate distrust of her from the start which eventually convinces her that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, he's ultimately willing to threaten to break his [[ThouShaltNotKill one rule]] to help his best friend get his cousin back; while Darkseid [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame praises him]] for being willing to commit genocide to achieve his goal, Bruce's motive was purely based on friendship - he was willing to risk crossing his personal MoralEventHorizon (one he'd not survive if he did) even as Darkseid threatened him with death, all for the sake of his friends. Messed up as it is, it demonstrates in an odd way how big Bruce's heart truly is.

* Supergirl remembering her mother's name, [[CallBack telling it to Batman]]. Batman gives one of the few [[WhenSheSmiles rare smiles]] you'll ever see out of him. It's even more touching on a deeper level when you [[FridgeBrilliance realize this]], we all know about Batman's past-and the death of his parents...he was very distrusting of Supergirl at first, asking her if she even remember's her mother's name. Given on how the death of Bruce's parent's obviously affected him...the idea that someone can't remember the name of their own mother or father-who died right before their very eyes, would ''obviously'' bother someone like Bruce-who ''never'' lets himself forget that moment or the memory of his parents. So telling Batman the name of her deceased mother-was not only a CMOH for Kara's character, and heck even Bruce's, on a surface level...but a deeper one too. Kara and Batman at that point have truly connected and come to an understanding of each other.

Despite his innate distrust of her from the start, which eventually convinces her that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk, he's ultimately willing to push so far as to ''truly'' threaten to break his One Rule to help his best friend get his cousin back, to save this girl; while Darkseid [[YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame praises him for being willing to commit mass-murder to get his objective done]], Bruce's motive was purely based on friendship - he was willing to risk crossing his personal MoralEventHorizon (one he'd not survive if he did) even as Darkseid threatened him with death... all for the sake of his friends.

Daw!

* The final scene, after unveiling Kara to the world, Clark takes her to fly in the sky, with her playfully pulling his cape over his head so she can fly past him and the two having a light-hearted race. Its not really a funny scene (or at least, funny enough to warrant placing in the funny section), but its really sweet to see the two play around like that after everything that's happened. At the end of the day, two of the most powerful beings are still able to sit back and have fun in the sky; no matter what angst she went through, Kara is still able to be a plucky young girl.

* Maybe it's just me, but when Superman told Kara that the whole thing wasn't her fault, and how Darkseid and his people do everything to harm and break a spirit-controlling them, (hypotists, brainwashing, sadists-flat out torture, etc.)...something in me couldn't HELP but remember the finale of SupermanTheAnimatedSeries (which Tim Daly of course as you all know-orginally voiced Superman in) where Darkseid did basically the same thing to Superman...brainwash and control him, doing things he'd never want to ever even DREAM of doing-turning him on his loved ones-fighting someone who is family-his cousin (ironically in the STAS it was also Superman vs Supergirl-but the roles were reversed), scorned and mocked him, tortured and nearly killed him. All things that basically happened to Supergirl in this movie. But even though this is a different universe, I couldn't help but feel, more emotion behind that line (whether it was intentional or not) from Tim Daly, maybe because thinking back to Superman TAS, when speaking that line. Because I could literally FEEL the "understanding" from his comforting words to his cousin. And just thinking that alone, made that scene even more heartwarming for me. While not in the same universe-[[SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Superman in one universe]] knows exactly what poor Supergirl from [[SupermanBatmanApocalypse this universe]] has endured and gone through.
* Wonder Woman and Supergirl hugging and saying their goodbyes, combined with Wonder Woman basically calling Supergirl a little sister and telling her "You'll always have a home here.", touched this troper.

* Supergirl remembering her mother's name, [[CallBack telling it to Batman]]. Batman gives one of the few [[WhenSheSmiles rare smiles]] you'll ever see out of mister grim bat boy. It's even more touching on a deeper level when you [[FridgeBrilliance realize this]], we all know about Batman's past-and the death of his parents...he was very distrusting of Supergirl at first, asking her if she even remember's her mother's name. Given on how the death of Bruce's parent's obviously affected him...the idea that someone can't remember the name of their own mother or father-who died right before their very eyes, would OBVIOUSLY bother someone like Bruce-who never EVER let's himself forget that moment or the memory of his parents. So telling Batman the name of her deceased mother-was not only a CMOH for Kara's character, and heck even Bruce's, on a surface level...but a deeper one too. Kara and Batman at that point have TRULY connected and come to an understanding of each other. Awwww! ^_^
