* Batman's entire prequel comic shows what a bitter life he led before joining the League. When he's not draining criminals dry, he's reduced to eating rats and raiding blood banks. He tries returning home to Ellis, Nebraska, only to have his father pretend he doesn't exist for pursuing a career in science instead of mechanical labor, and his mother doesn't let him stay. He bumps into his old girlfriend, only to meet her {{Jerkass}} husband, succumbing to his hunger and causing a violent scene. Then when he tries to play hero again and kill the biggest mob boss in Gotham, he strikes a friendship with the boss' son, enjoying the first real happiness he's known in years and even doesn't feel hungry anymore. Then he learns that the seemingly perfect son was in fact just as cold and ruthless as his father, having killed his own mother in order to manipulate Kirk into killing his mob rivals. The comic ends with Kirk slashing the man's throat, and all but giving up on humanity.

* Superman being [[spoiler:forced to MercyKill Brainiac. In most versions, Brainiac is a killing machine doing what he does out of cold, twisted reason. Here, he's a frightened child who can't control his powers and winds up threatening lives because of it. Superman actually tries to talk him down, but once it's clear he can't stop it he asks Superman to kill him. After it's done, Superman just sighs and hangs his head, kneeling by the small lifeless body in a HeroicBSOD.]]
* Superman mournfully stares at [[spoiler:the charred skeletons of Dr. Stone and his little boy [[{{ComicBook/Cyborg}} Victor]], who both literally died in each others' arms]].

* The description of Batman mentions that he was ReducedToRatburgers as an attempt to avoid drinking blood. In general, his life is pretty depressing.
