Line 208:
* In the ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' episode, World's Finest, [[The Joker]] comes to Metropolis with an enormous amount of kryptonite to make a deal with [[Lex Luthor]] to kill [[Superman]]. Both Luthor and Superman severely underestimate the Joker as just some wacky clown, [[Not So Harmless|until the Joker traps Superman in a room with acid and half of the kryptonite.]] By the end, the Joker is dancing over Superman's nearly lifeless body and is only stopped by Batman's timely intervention, a man who Luthor and Superman also underestimated.
* In the series finale for ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'', [[Darkseid]] delivers an utter asskicking on Superman for almost the entire episode and constantly taunts him about how he's going to win. Even after Superman's [[World of Cardboard Speech]] and awesome [[Megaton Punch]], [[Genius Bruiser|Darkseid immediately turns the tide back into his favor by simply changing tactics]] activating an Agony Matrix that leaves Superman completely helpless. As [[Complete Monster|Darkseid]] pulls out a kryptonite knife to [[Nightmare Fuel|carve out Superman's heart for a trophy]] ([[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|and yes, this is a kids' show]]), [[Lex Luthor]] shows up with the Anti-Life Equation. For those who know the lore behind Darkseid and the New Gods, they know why this affects the outcome.
* Happened ''all the time'' in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', especially in season one, where Jeremie would often manage to hit the [[Reset Button| "return to the past"]] command to foil XANA's plan with mere seconds to spare. The number of times XANA's murderous schemes came close to succeeding is true [[Nightmare Fuel]] at times.
