Heartwarming / Identity Crisis (2004)

• Ralph's ice cream analogy about his and Sue's relationship, and the nature of love in general:
  Ralph: ...But that's why ice cream stores don't just sell chocolate and vanilla. Every once in awhile someone walks in and orders butter pecan.
• Ralph's conversation with an absent Sue at the end.
• After hearing about what happened to Sue, Tim calls out of patrol for a week so he can stay at home to protect his father.
  • Their relationship as a whole is so much better than it was before. Though Jack's still struggling to understand his son's identity, he doesn't stop him from going out as Robin.
• Later on, when they narrowly avoid arguing before Tim goes out on patrol, Jack is finally able to prioritize his son's needs over his own, and tells Tim to go.
• Batman and Oracle doing everything they possibly can to make sure that Robin reaches his father in time. Crosses over into Tearjerker territory because he's still too late.
• Batman comforting Robin after the death of his father. Especially because it's Bruce.
  Batman: ...Please... Tim, it's okay... it's okay... I've got you.
• After reading Jack Drake's obituary in the news, the first thing that Ollie does is go over and hug his son. Conner grumbles, but accepts it.
• Captain Boomerang meeting his son for the first time, and finding out said son is not only proud to have a Super Villain father, but also inherited his old man's throwing arm. And his mother's Super-Speed.
• Green Arrow and Hal Jordan's scene in the cemetery, foreshadowing Green Lantern: Rebirth.
  Green Arrow: So when you are you really coming back?
  Hal Jordan: (smiling) I'm working on it.
• This exchange between Wally and Ollie:
  Wally: By the way, I was talking to Clark and we were just... well... we were thinking if you weren't too busy, or had some free time...
  Ollie: Wally, how many times do I have to tell you - I'm a reserve member. There's no reason for me to rejoin the League.
  Wally: Actually, we just wanted you to know if you wanted to go to dinner sometime. Like you used to with Clark and Barry.
  Ollie: (pause) Yeah, that'd be great. (Beat) Really great.
