{{work}}
* In one episode, Aquaman and Atom are in the middle of a [[Fantastic Voyage]] through Batman's body. While escaping from deadly nanobots, Aquaman tries to use his fish telepathy to communicate with a blood cell. Atom [[YouArtistic FailLicense Biology Forever|questions Aquaman's sanity]] and says there is no way it will work. [[Crazy Awesome|It does]].
* How about the end of "Day of the Dark Knight!"? Batman and Green Arrow are facing down Morgan Le Fey, who has [[Scaled Up]] into a dragon form in an attempt to fry them before the "one who is worthy" can draw Excalibur. The two of them [[No Man of Woman Born|work together to draw Excalibur]] and Batman passes Excalibur to Green Arrow, who ''fires it like an arrow at Morgan!'' And it ''works!''
* The end of the first part of the two-part alternate universe story, where Red Hood {{spoiler|blows Silver Cyclone's (robotic) head off}} ''in the middle of his dramatic evil monologue!''
** From the same episode and character (though much more low-key) the flashback of Red Hood's origin story where he destroys the mirror. With that one act, he overcame what his counterpart {{spoiler|the Joker}} never could, and became more than he could ever hope to be.
** This exchange, as several Injustice Syndicate members realize they've failed to kill their "Owlman imposter":
{{quote| '''Blue Bowman:''' Who is this guy?!<br />
''(He, Scarlet Scarab and Dyna-Mite are easily KO'ed)''<br />
'''Batman:''' I'm Batman. }}
* In the same episode, Silver Cyclone {{spoiler|figures out Red Hood's code by simple statistical analysis. [[Genre Savvy|Then he promptly tries to kill Batman]]}}.
Line 15:
** "I was ''born'' in flame!"
* In the teaser to "Invasion of the Secret Santas!", Batman punches the bowling balls thrown by Sportsmaster. And they ''shatter''.
* What about the [[Green Lantern (Comic Book)|Green Lantern]] team up episode, where, Batman takes out Guy Gardner in one frickin' punch, and when, near the end of the episode, Guy Gardner fights Sinestro to SAVE THE LIFE OF A PLANET.
** To be fair, said planet was alive, likely sentient, and being a planet, physically the most powerful Green Lantern in existence.
*** That's what I meant, he's ''literally'' saving the life of a planet, which was indeed sentient.
** Also in this episode, we have Hal Jordan going up against the entire [[Green Lantern Corps]] (puppeted by Despero the whole time, mind you), and successfully beating them [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|in typical]] [[Badass Creed|GL style]]:
*** '''Hal Jordan/Green Lantern:'''
{{quote| ''"In [[Brightest Day|brightest day]], In [[Blackest Night|blackest night]],<br />
No evil shall escape my sight<br />
Let those who worship evil's might<br />
Beware my power... GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!"'' }}
* In "The Eyes of Despero", after a magic throwdown ends with the villain knocking off Dr Fate's magic helmet from behind, the villain brags "You are defenseless", and launches into a good evil laugh--only to [[Talk to Thethe Fist|get cut off by being punched in the face]] several times by Fate as the musical score shifts gears into awesome. As the villain falls, Fate remarks "Actually, I'd call those boxing lessons I got from Batman a pretty good defense." Nothing like going straight from a [[Wizard Duel]] to [[Good Old Fisticuffs]].
* In "Night of the Huntress", Batman, Huntress (of course) and a lovestruck Blue Beetle take on Babyface, who has stolen a bunch of impounded [[Humongous Mecha]] and is going to take over the various crime families. After bragging about how Batman can't stop him in his new Mech, Batman simply jumps into his Batmobile...which then [[Transforming Mecha|transforms]]. It's on now!
* No love for the Music Meister? Using only his ''voice'', he eventually brought the ''entire planet'' under his hypnotic control, '''and''' put on the largest musical '''ever'''. Simultaneously.
Line 30:
* ''"Return of the Fearsome Fangs"'', where the Terrible Trio steal the Wudang Totem with the help of the Shadow Clan (ninjas), to become monstrous humanoid animals, enhancing their already-formidable martial arts abilities. How do Batman and Bronze Tiger beat them? By ''snatching the Totem, empowering themselves into super-creatures, and having a no-holds barred super-powerful kung-fu brawl with Shark, Fox, and Vulture.''
* This scene from "Chill of the Night":
{{quote| '''Batman''': "You are the slinking coward who murdered Thomas and Martha Wayne."<br />
'''Joe Chill''': "That was a lifetime ago!"<br />
'''Batman''': "Yes, my lifetime. You took them without mercy or regret, and in cold blood, Chill!"<br />
'''Joe Chill''': "How do you know this? How could you possibly--"<br />
'''Batman''': "I know because I watched it happen. I know because I am the son of the man you murdered. ''I... am Bruce Wayne!''" }}
** This is also the first time this version of Batman feels genuinely terrifying. [[Oh Crap|The look on Chill's face says everything.]]
* Black Adam from "The Power of Shazam!" gets his own CMOA by simply being the first villain to completely outclass Batman.
** In the same episode, {{spoiler|after Dr. Sivana steals the power of Black Adam, Batman tries to attack him, but it didn't work and, while Dr. Sivana is bragging about his powers, Batman said that he was a powerful champion but would never be as strong as the wizard ''Shamaz.'' The superpowered Dr. Sivana ammends him, saying "It's SHAZAM!" Guess what happens?}}
** Which is also a shout-out to Black Adam's first (and intended as last) appearance in the comics. Captain Marvel's ''non-superpowered uncle'' takes the Batman role, {{spoiler|tricking Black Adam into saying "Shazam" and destroying himself, as his human body was too ancient to survive. However, Black Adam either got better or [[Crisis Onon Infinite Earths|that never happened]] [[Continuity Snarl|anymore]]}}.
* Firestorm lifting up Captain Marvel so that he can defeat {{spoiler|Starro}} with his magic lightning, possibly a homage to Kingdom Come.
* The Birds of Prey working together to escape a watery death in Matches Malone's shark tank, which cumilates with Black Canary bringing down the house. LITERALLY.
{{quote| '''Black Canary''' ''(looking to Huntress after a well-placed arrow removes the gag from her mouth )''. Nice Shot! ''(smirks)'' My turn! ''(destroys shark tank with her Canary Cry)''.}}
* Another for Bats in "Emperor Joker." After Joker has become a [[Reality Warper]] and killed him over and over again, he begs Joker [[Reverse Psychology|not to take his sanity.]] Joker promptly screws open Batman's head, crawls into his mindscape, prepares to toss some important-looking documents about...and gets stopped by a voice out of nowhere: Batman himself. Batman explains how disciplined his mind is, and segues it into a speech about how Joker needs Batman in order to exist. This is punctuated by Joker entering a world without Batman, and turning into an ordinary businessman. Joker willingly surrenders his omnipotence in return for his [[Mad Hatter|characterizing madness.]]
** Between [[Reality Warper|twisting reality around like warm taffy]], using Batman as a cosmic punching bag, and the ''fabulous'' [[Villain Song]], that episode is a [[C Mo A]] for [[The Joker]] himself!
* In "Bat-Mite Presents: Batman's Strangest Cases!", we get the [[Scooby Doo]] crossover. Bat-Mite [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the fact that due to [[Executive Meddling]], Batman couldn't throw a punch back then...and then says that his [[Reality Warper]] powers render the whole thing moot, and gives Batman, Robin, Joker, and Penguin the ability to actually fight each other. And then he does the same to [[Lovable Coward|Shaggy and Scooby]], who proceed to pound the stuffing out of Joker and Penguin. And who gets to KO the Joker? [["Weird Al" Yankovic|"Weird Al" Yankovic.]] WITH AN ACCORDION.
** The fact that they adapted "Bat Boy and Rubin", from issue 8 of [[Mad Magazine]] back in 1953, is nothing short of amazing.
* The epic battle between Batman and Superman in "The Battle of The Superheroes!".
Line 53:
* Detective Chimp is generally pretty awesome in this show, but in "Gorillas in Our Midst" he routinely beats up SCORES of gorillas that are four times as big as him. But the moment that made this troper's jaw drop was when he punched an oncoming gorilla in the guy and LAUNCHED HIM OVER HIS HEAD.
** No love for the end of the episode, when {{spoiler|1=Batman gets turned into a BatGriffon?}}
* The end of "The Night of The Batmen" has the return of Batmen from other universes, and now it also includes the Batmen from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'', ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'', ''[[The Batman (Animation)|The Batman]]'' and [[The Dark Knight Saga]]!
* "Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!" a fully animated fight between Barry Allen and Professor Zoom both with their powers increase by other speedsters? after Zoom just took a super fast (though granted not as fast as him) Batman out without much effort... Awesome.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2iSKEZA8PQ Grey and Blue.]
** From the same episode, Green Arrow channels [[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]] with "I am vengence! I am the Night! [[Punctuated! forFor! Emphasis!|I AM BATMAN!]]"
* From "Shadow of the Bat!", Jaime beats the crap out of {{spoiler|vampire}} BATMAN! {{spoiler|until he uses magic hypno-vampire-powers}} Compare to the earlier episodes, where he had no clue how to operate the suit.
** Not to mention J'onn taking on the whole group of vampire heroes
* [[Wonder Woman]]'s [[Dynamic Entry|entrance]] in the teaser to "Scorn of the Scarlett Sapphire!" scored to the theme to the 70s show. The preview is only a minute long but the wait was worth it.
* "Time Out For Vengance!", where fans of the Justice League International finally get to see then kicking some ass and saving Batman(s).
* All of "Triumvirate of Terror!" The heroes and the villians both get their moments (Cheetah takes out Superman!), and we get to see Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman team up at last.
** Don't forget Alfred managing to stand up to Lex Luthor for a bit.
Line 67:
* Buddy Blank, a janitor with no prior training or experience, tackling Equinox and allowing Batman enough time to save the entire city from a nuclear meltdown.
