Justice League (animation)/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* "The Terror Beyond": Hawkgirl's role in [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|punching out Icthultu]] has already been mentioned. Equally impressive, however, is her earlier defiance towards the [[Eldritch Abomination]], even though she's bound and completely at its mercy:

{{quote| '''Hawkgirl:''' I have nothing to say to you! I have a ''gesture'', but my hands are tied.}}

* In "Secret Society", Shade shows that he learns from his mistakes when fighting Batman. His shadow-creating nightstick is taken from him, and when Batman takes the opportunity to mock him, Shade ''sucker punches Batman''. Sure, he still lost, but that was awesome nontheless.

** That whole arena fight was CMOA for the entire League, but Superman had an exceptional one when Grodd is holding Superman by his head, hitting him with a psychic attack. Superman resists the attack then ''[[Finger-Poke of Doom|flicks Grodd on the nose]]'', throwing him the entire length of the football field.

'''Batman:''' Wish I'd thought of that.<br />

[Door behind Batman smashes down to reveal the rest of the Justice League]<br />

** Batman flooring Sinestro with a single Batarang.

* "Comfort and Joy": In a scene that's equal parts Heartwarming and Awesome, Hawkgirl takes Green Lantern on a date to show how she likes to celebrate holidays. Said celebration consists of visiting an alien bar (where all the regulars ''cheered'' upon seeing her enter), then starting a [[Bar Brawl]] for the heck of it. Later, after everyone's passed out amid the wreckage, she snuggles up to the sleeping GL and wishes him a Merry Christmas.

'''[[Fan Nickname|Brainthor:]]''' ''(Restrains Flash via mechanical [[Call Back|guards.]])'' [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu|Hardly. Look around you — the Justice League is completely defeated, and so are you. For all your efforts, you have but inconvenienced me,]] ''[[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu|speck.]]'' [[Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu|But I'm still just human enough... to enjoy taking my revenge.]] *[[Dramatic Gun Cock]]*<br />

-- ''[[Commercial Break Cliffhanger|Commercial Break]]'' --<br />

'''Flash:''' [[Little No|No!]] ''(Vibrates arms so as to escape from the guards, then stands up.)''<br />

'''Brainthor:''' [[Tempting Fate|Are you going to fight me,]] ''[[Just a Kid|boy?]]''<br />

'''[[Wonder Woman]]:''' Flash! <br />

''[[Superman]] runs towards where Flash vanished. The remaining six appear horrified.''<br />

''Superman places Luthor in a choke hold and prepares to incinerate him. Wonder Woman initially attempts to intervene, but [[Batman]] stops her.''<br />

'''Superman:''' [[Screw Destiny|I'm not the]] [[Knight Templar|man]] [[Mirror Universe|who killed President Luthor.]] [[Being Good Sucks|Right now, I wish to heaven that I were, but I'm not.]] <br />

** And then, a few yards away, Amanda Waller talking to the President, noting the [[Nuke'Em|nukes]] won't be necessary.

* Batman comforting the dying Royal Flush Gang member Ace in "Epilogue". Yes, even Batman sitting on a swing-seat and holding a young girl's hand is awesome.

** The ending which is a perfect mirror shot of the first scene of the entire DCAU, nearly 15 years before.

* Lex ''shooting Grodd in the face'' and usurping the Secret Society.

**** Forget Speed. Flash's [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|power is his heart]].

* Professor Hamilton successfully staring down a wrathful Superman in "Question Authority". Yeah, [[Post Dramatic Stress Disorder|he broke down afterwards]], but wouldn't you if you narrowly averted the ire of a living ''god''?

* Amanda Waller gets several in her interactions with Batman: in ''Ultimatum'' she calls Batman "rich boy", telling him that she knew ''exactly'' who he is and actually ''intimidating'' him. In "The Doomsday Sanction", she reacts to Batman breaking into her home and confronting her in the ''shower'' by verbally bitchslapping him and actually convincing him of the threat that the Justice League would pose if they would go rogue.

{{quote| '''Batman''': Whatever you think you're doing, if you present a threat to the world, the Justice League will take you down.<br />

** Chronos punishing a traitorous mook by sending him back in time to the Cretaceous period. In just the right time and place to get directly smacked by ''an oncoming asteroid.'' His wide-eyed, near-deadpan delivery of "[[Oh Crap|Aw, phooey]]" doesn't hurt.

{{quote| '''Chronos:''' Do you know what killed the dinosaurs? Well, ''Chucko'' does.}}

** Also:

{{quote| '''Warhawk:''' What are you supposed to do when you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?<br />

*** Not to mention Darkseid didn't look harmed at all by smashing through no less than four skyscrapers and being smashed into the ground. Darkseid sneered even when he was going to die, losing would hardly scare him.

*** And to add one more, before that, [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|Darkseid was pretty much beating Superman into the ground with brute strength!]] He didn't even feel the need to use his Omega Beams. Because we all know how well Superman tends to stand up to those.

** And the scene before it:
