* CatchingTheSpeedster:
** After ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} gets taken out by Doomsday, ComicBook/TheFlash takes up his mace and begins whacking away at Doomsday with it, moving too fast for Doomsday to retaliate. Eventually, Doomsday stops attacking and merely defends, as his eyes watch Barry's movements. Finally, the beast predicts where Barry will go next and Barry runs headfirst into a well-time punch, resulting in a OneHitKO.
** As Franchise/{{Superman}} faces Doomsday alone, he attempts to fight the creature in the air, using his [[FlyingBrick speed and flight]] to knock Doomsday around and carry him out of Metropolis. However, as he goes in for a hit, Doomsday [[SuperReflexes reacts quickly enough]] to clothesline Superman, catches his cape, and starts headbutting Superman repeatedly as the two fall back into the city.
