Awesome / DC Abridged Universe Movies

It's DC! It would be a crime to not have awesome moments.

Justice League: War

• You have to be an incredible scientist to be able to use a jukebox, a VHS, and an NES (among other things) as tools to save your son's life and give him badass armor in the process.
• Cyborg taking out the aliens to the tune of "Black Betty." Very fitting.
• Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment. Batman telling the Flash that he's the only other known hero he comes close to respecting. Now, granted, he could've been saying that to be a dick to Green Lantern, who was there when he said it, but it is remotely possible he was sincere.
• Green Lantern making this line sound cool: "Let's justice this bitch!"
• Batman explaining to Superman how he figured out he was Clark Kent. Even in an Abridged Series, Batman is still the World's Greatest Detective!
  Batman: Your dialect is Mid-western not Metropolis but you've been spotted operating here early this year, thus you are relatively new in town. Before coming here, I've checked every last person who have moved into the city in that timeframe because yes I have that kind of time. And crosscheck that with Superman related events and lo and behold, I stumbled across a recent article in the Daily Planet titled "Why America needs Superman" by Clark Kent.
• Wonder Woman's Pre-Asskicking One-Liner after Hera gave her the green-light to kill.
  Wonder Woman: Watch how we Amazons keep the peace!! (starts chopping attacking parademons left and right to the tune of Sword of Promised Victory (Fate/Zero version))
• Flash dodging the Omega Beams by simply using 'tag' on the attacking army.
• The scene where Batman talks down Green Lantern from going Leeroy Jenkins on them is considered by many to be better handled in here than in canon. Batman chews him out saying that just because he has Daddy Issues doesn't entitle or elevate him to do stupid things and when he screws up it is everyone else that pays.

Suicide Squad: Assault on Arkham

• In the original Batman: Gotham Knight Deadshot pins a bee to the wall just because he can. In the abridged version, however, when it's implied someone questions his reputation as an assassin, he pins the bee to the wall to remind his employer just how good really is!
• Even though the fight is shorter than the original scene, Batman vs. Deadshot is still awesome, especially Batman's epic declaration of "I don't like guns!" before knocking Deadshot out.
• Harley Quinn is the only one to figure out that Black Spider is Batman in disguise long before The Reveal. Granted, it was extremely obvious from the get-go, but still.
• LordJazor's performance as the Joker is phenomenal. He manages to capture the creepy comedic clown so well that one might think he's secretly Mark Hamill's apprentice. We may never know! He's even got the laugh down.
  • What really makes this great is that Joker is the only character to be completely in character while everyone else is a parody of themselves. Then again, you can't parody the Joker.
• The writer drops the big anvil on the relationship between Joker and Harley.
  Joker: Now THERE'S the girl I mentally abused into loving me!
• When Amanda Waller demands answers from Deadshot when she notices something is off, this is his response, even though his mouth has a piece of wood in it:
  "Godmother, here's my wish: go f**k yourself!"
• When Deadshot is about to shoot Batman, the Dark Knight calmly reminds him what happened the last time they went toe-to-toe! He instantly lowers his weapon!
• How did Deadshot get the Joker to check his gun for bullets in the gunpoint scene? Simply tell him that he left the safety on. That way he would have to check for it regardless whether or not the the gun is loaded.
• Deadshot and Joker's dialogue during their fight on the helicopter:
  Deadshot: You're just gonna burn the whole city down with us?
  Joker: Well, you know what they say: some villains just want to watch the world burn!
  Deadshot: Not all villains!
• While it was cruel, Batman's scathing remark to Harley when she tells him how everyone always sees her as a dumb blonde even though she figured out Batman was Black Spider:
  "You're not dumb because you're blonde, you idiot. You're dumb because you fell for the Joker. And that's all your name is to anyone: a joke!
• Props to the creators for using "Suicide Run" from Mass Effect 2 as the final battle music for Deadshot and Joker.
• In his madness, Joker says a surprisingly deep speech about another being who is better than him at being a "comedian": God
  Joker: You know Deadbob, you made a little crack at the big guy upstairs earlier. Like he's the punchline but personally, I think God is the ultimate comedian. I mean, murder, war, racism, tsunamis, another season of Family Guy for fucks sake! It's all madness out there! I tell you! At least in the asylum, we don't have to pretend it all makes sense. Hehehehehehaha!!
  • This goes awesome in both ways for the Joker. First of all, he actually admits that there is someone better than him at what is essentially his pride and life's purpose, something which he would usually never admit out loud due to his pride. Secondly, he is also saying that the only super-villain that is better than him is God himself.
• Deadshot throughout the film always failed to say a proper joke. Finally, to the Joker at the end:
  Deadshot: You know what really cracks me up? Pull my finger.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis

• Superman's Pre-Asskicking One-Liner to the Trench before they make a run for it.
  "Hi, I'm Superman. (Superman's eyes glow) I'll be your immigration officer today. Who wants to go first?"
• Superman vs. Cthulhu
• "I don't need grief to push me to do the right thing!"
• Aquaman's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Orm.
  "You think just because you were bullied that gives the right to do the same? [...] 'You don't understand.' 'No one gets me.' 'I've suffered.' 'My parents are mean.' Am I ringing bells? [...] No, please. Go on about how your crappy life and mommy issues gives you the right to genocide!"
  • To clarify, a lot of people sympathize with Orm so much that they tried to justify all the horrible things he did because of his Dark and Troubled Past, or life, in this case. The creators wanted to make it clear that while Orm should be pitied, even sympathized, it doesn't excuse everything he did.
• You remember that scene in the movie where Aquaman knocks out Orm with one punch amidst a colorful background? The creators decided to add the One-Punch Man theme to the scene. Fits perfectly!
• Aquaman's incredible singing voice thanks to JorporXx.
• Batman summing up why Aquaman can't join the Justice League just goes to show severely underrated he is compared to the other superheroes of DC in general.
  Batman: Eh yeah, he's too good for it. He's strong, almost as strong as Superman plus that trident that kicked our collective asses, has his own country not to mention that guy. (referring to the Surf Warrior) The man doesn't even have Daddy Issues and frankly he's just...er...too damn nice. Do you have any idea how bad that will make us all look by comparison?

Court Of Owls

• Talon's Pre-Mortem One-Liner.
  Talon: How many mobsters you need to send alive to leave a message? The answer is...none.
• After one too many insults to his face, Talon shows the Court of Owls shouldn't taunt the one person they trained to be an assassin and is currently armed to the teeth to his face. He proceeds to murder the entire court.
  Talon: Grandmaster, the entire court, I have sentenced you to die. (Vergil's Marvel vs. Capcom 3 theme kicks in)
• The Talons quickly realize that their immortality actually puts them at a disadvantage for once.
  Batman: So you're telling me, a man trained in pratically every single way of killing known to man, who has to suppress that instinct every single day that no matter what I do to you...you can't die?
  Talon I immediately regret saying that.
• After getting cornered in the Batcave, Batman busts out his Power Armor.
  Batman: Tell me, can you shit yourselves? (Devils Never Cry kicks in)
• The showdown between Batman and Talon. It begins with the latter using the Batmobile to ram into Batman's powersuit, guns blazing, effectively breaking it. He then proceeds to say with mock sympathy whether that was expensive. After that the two chant the original pre-fight line from the comic book.
  Talon: Let's settle this, brother to brother.
  Batman: Wayne to Wayne.
  Both: Owl to Bat!!

Wonder Woman

• Hippolyta's Bond One-Liner to Ares' son in the prologue.
  Hippolyta: Hey son! (chops of his head) Happy Mother's Day!! Seems it is I who got you on your knees.
  • The build up to it also counts. The combat banter between Ares and Hippolyta is a transition from how she is on her knees and her response is how he desperate he want to be given head.
• Steve's characterization as a Nice Guy that respects Wonder Woman is a nice little reversal of gender roles for a change. Then again, how else do you think you can possibly date an Amazon?
• Everybody Hates Hades is fully averted in here. Ares even states that Hades is the Only Sane Man in the Greek Pantheon and got his bad reputation in modern times due to his job of being the keeper of the dead being mixed with Satan. Instead of him releasing Ares' shackles, it was Dionysus who wants to return to their "good old days". During the part where the resurrected Amazons fight each other, Artemis resorts to calling him for his aid at Alexa's advice release them Ares' control. It actually works!!
• When Diana calls out Steve for letting Ares escape to the Underworld, he only has this response (Also a Heartwarming Moment):
  Steve: I'm willing to die, Diana, but I will not throw my life away, or yours. And even if I could have, I still would've chosen to save you, even if you were a man. A very handsome man, I'm sure, but it wouldn't make any difference to me. Because you're dear to me Diana, and that love...that love is gender neutral.
• Ares quoting the Major fits perfectly.
• The entire fight between Wonder Woman and Ares. It ends with the former beheading the latter.
  Wonder Woman: Now Ares!! Ask me about my feminist agenda!!
  Ares: Wife! Wife! (gets beheaded)

Crisis on Two Earths

• Getting Doug Fucking Walker as the narrator and Dr Manhattan.
  • By doing so, the entire film ties not into just the source material but also the Doomsday Clock storyline.
• Lex-3 gets one for calling out Dr Manhattan for messing with the multiverse in The Stinger.

Justice League Doom

• The Mood Whiplash between the Justice League curb-stomping their opponents and Jason Todd's death as the Robin during the events of the Batman: Under the Red Hood being seamlessly blended in. You have the Justice League snappily beating their respective opponents. After that, Batman decides to check up on the current Robin (Jason Todd)
  Batman: Robin, are you there?
  (Jason is shown tied up)
  Batman: Dammit Jason, you better have not left your-(gets interrupted by the sound of a crowbar)
  Joker: I'm afraid birdboy can't come to the phone now, batsy. He's a bit...tied up.
• After getting knocked out by Bane, he gets trapped in his father's coffin. His response to having the permission to cry?
  Bruce: (using his keys to dig out of the grave) Batman doesn't die like this. Buried in an asshole coffin like some normal asshole. It's not even expensive enough. Batman dies fighting in a cave with the Joker or something cool like that. He dies when the job is done. And the job is not done!
• Batman has some things to rectify to Hal Jordan after snapping him out of his Heroic BSoD thanks to Star Sapphires' deception. All set to the tune of The Fellowship.
  Batman: I didn't have you fired from Ferris Air because I disliked you...although I do. I did it because I feared that you might kill youself in your stupid pursuit to prove yourself brave. But you were always brave. I remember your father's last words.
  Hal: Err...I hate you, son?
  Batman: No. The other thing.
  Hal: Know fear. (becomes Green Lantern once more)

Suicide Squad Abridged 2: Ticket To Heck

• The Stinger has a clock in Dr Manhattan's domain count down from 5 to 4 with the Flash symbol replacing the 12. The words revealed?
  "The Countdown to Flashpoint has began..."
