History TearJerker / DCRebirth

* In ''Nightwing'', Dick and Barbara have a heart-to-heart talk after having not spoken with each other for some time, only for Dick to break her heart and admit that he had found someone else.
* The second half of ''ComicBook/TheButton'', where Batman and The Flash manages to return to the [[spoiler: ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}]] Universe and encounter [[spoiler: Thomas Wayne]] in the flesh again.
** It is shown that the world that they went to has deteriorated ever since Flash went back to the Speed Force, as even though the final moments of [[spoiler: Flashpoint world]] seemed to have end, it somehow still clinging on to existence, and it caused [[spoiler: [[ForeverWar the war between the Atlanteans and the Amazons]]]] to spread throughout the world whilst causing countless deaths from both sides and ordinary humans alike. It is hinted that the existence of [[spoiler: Flashpoint]] is caused by [[spoiler: Doctor Manhattan]] himself.
** The saddest part is that the [[spoiler: Flashpoint has suddenly become to disintegrate itself, and while it is sad to see characters from side stories of Flashpoint (e.g. Deathstroke and his daughter, Dick Grayson's circus troupe, Lois Lane and the Resistance in the UK etc.) being erased from existence, the final encounter between Thomas & Bruce Wayne is ''heartwrenching'' as the former refuses to go with him back to the prime universe, with his last words being to [[ForHappiness stop being Batman for once, and be a father for Damien Wayne in a way that Thomas couldn't do for Bruce]]]].

* In ''Nightwing'', Dick and Barbara have a heart-to-heart talk after having not spoken with each other for some time, only for Dick to break her heart and admit that he had found someone else.

** [[spoiler: Even worse is how after Linda fails to recognise him, Wally screams and convulses from the overwhelming power of the Speed Force. From Linda's perspective, all she's seeing is a stalker throwing a tantrum.]]

* ''Detective Comics'' #940. ''Hoo boy'' the whole issue packs a wallop, but the great flood sweeps in at the end:[[spoiler: Batman attempts to comfort Spoiler, knowing how much she meant to Tim, by explaining that Tim's death was honourable, he was a great hero, and chose the life despite the risk. However, Stephanie interrupts him to reveal Tim's acceptance letter. The news hits Bruce so hard he's at a loss for words. All he can do is reach out for Stephanie and hug her]].
* ''Trinity #2'': Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman had inadvertedly traveled back in time to a point where a young Clark Kent began developing his super-hearing. The sudden arrival of the Trinity causes Jonathan Kent to have a heart attack. When he comes to, he sees the older Clark and freaks out, believing him to be Jor-El come to take his son away from him.

** Lana Lang (aka Superwoman) on being the only one to see Lois die: "... She’s gone, Clark. Vaporized. Right in front of me. Just like my Clark was.”

* New 52 Lois Lane's posthumous video telling pre-Flashback Lois to take over her life, crying that she doesn't want her father or her friends to know she died, because she doesn't want them to suffer.

* Deathstroke's Flashbacks

* ''Wonder Woman'' #9 has Diana and Steve meet up on a ravaged Paradise Island, but as they investigate, Steve begins realizing he doesn't recognize the architecture of the island. [[spoiler:Diana soon realizes why - this isn't Paradise Island. The Paradise Island she had went to during the New 52 era was a lie. She had never came back to Paradise Island since she first left it for Man's World.]]
