''[[Justice League (Animationanimation)|Justice League]]'' and the follow-up ''Unlimited'' series include so many of these moments, and some of them so blatant, that one almost has to wonder if the censors were paying attention at all (or maybe they were feeling lenient). As time went on, the show was moved to a late primetime slot and the show became more obviously for older audiences in contrast to the more child-friendly ([[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)/Radar|sort of]]) ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'', leading to a lot more direct crap getting past the radar. For whatever reason, most of these involved Hawkgirl and Flash.
 
* In "Hearts and Minds" Hawk Girl and Green Lantern have the following exchange:
Line 22:
'''Firefly''': I think I'm in love. ''([[Something Else Also Rises|shoots a burst of fire from his gun on the last word]])'' }}
** Made even better when you consider Volcana is voiced by Peri Gilpin, who plays the rather promiscuous Roz on [[Frasier]]. She even talks to Firefly like Roz would talk to Frasier or Niles.
* Similar to one of the ''[[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|Teen Titans]]'' examples, in "The Savage Time" when the team is thrown into a pile while riding alternate-Bruce Wayne's rocket train (long story), the following exchange occurs:
{{quote| '''Hawkgirl:''': ... Whose hand is that?<br />
'''Flash:''' ''(pulling his hand from what appears to be her breasts)'' Sorry! }}
Line 57:
** Of course, prior to this Green Arrow already had Black Canary on the brain. One look was the reason he stayed in the League, and she's noticed him checking her out. For example, when he and Supergirl are talking about dreams:
{{quote| '''Green Arrow''': I don't know, I've had some dreams that felt pretty real. *looks over at Black Canary* There was this one the other night...}}
** Let's put it this way: ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'' used her basic design for a prostitute. No more need be said.
** Later in "The Cat and the Canary", a ticket scalper solicits her ''as'' a prostitute. They're expensive tickets. Fortunately Ollie foots the bill.
* [[Zatanna]] could give Black Canary a run for her money in the [[Fan Service]] department. [[Author Appeal|Of course ...]]
* And then there was the time [[Vixen (Comic Bookcomics)|Vixen]] ambushed [[Green Lantern (Comic Book)|Green Lantern]] by pulling him into a side room with hope for some alone time. (Remember that Vixen is voiced by Gina Torres, who... well, [[Firefly (TV)|I'll be in my bunk]].
{{quote| '''Green Lantern:''' Don't sneak up on me like that! Do you know what [[Green Lantern Ring|this ring]] could do to you?<br />
'''Vixen:''' [[Power Perversion Potential|Promises, promises]]. }}
Line 92:
* And there's Hawkgirl's response in "The Terror Beyond" when being held by a [[Eldritch Abomination|giant alien squid]] who is [[Captain Ersatz|definitely not Cthulhu]] (well, kind of - he just has an I tacked on before his name);
{{quote| '''Ichthultu:''' Speak to me, child of Thanagar.<br />
'''Hawkgirl:''' [[Defiant to Thethe End|Nothing to say]]. I have a ''[[Flipping the Bird|gesture]]'' for you, but my hands are tied. }}
* In "Hunter's Moon", Hawkgirl and Vixen have a conversation about Green Lantern, and both of them mention that they've [[Unusual Euphemism|seen the inside of his underwear drawer]].
* There's a scene in "Epilogue" where Waller tries to explain that she obtained Batman's DNA (for one of her late genetics experiments) from blood he left at the scene of a fight. Judging by her face, you almost get the feeling she phrased it like this on purpose:
Line 98:
''(cut to Terry giving Waller an awkward stare.)''<br />
'''Waller:''' Not ''remotely'' what I meant. }}
** Given that Terry had by that time read up about Bruce's old playboy act, this is getting crap past and yet another way of hooking the ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'' series to the older shows one more time, AS the fat lady (Waller) is singing.
* In "I Am Legion", Hawkgirl on Flash gazing at his new crush Fire (talking to her gal-pal Ice): "You'd probably be wasting your time anyway. I hear she's, y'know... [long, Flash-panicking pause] ''[[Hide Your Lesbians|Brazilian]]''."
** Doubles as a [[Mythology Gag]], as Fire and Ice are [[Heterosexual Life Partners|close friends]] with a certain amount of [[Ho Yay|Les Yay]] in the comic.
Line 112:
** "Keep her busy so I can take her from behind!"
** "I know your kind, Roulette! You like to watch..."
** [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|"I do fine on my own"]]
{{quote| '''[[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Fire:]]''' "I did ''what''?"<br />
'''[[Hot Amazon|Wonder Woman:]]''' "I know how you feel" }}
Line 134:
** Also from--
** NO! That is ''all''!
* The episode "Knight of Shadows" included Wonder Woman and Flash rescuing a magazine publisher who was ''very'' obviously a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] Hugh Hefner at his Totally not-Playboy mansion. Wondy gets propositioned, and Flash insists he buys the magazines [[I Read It for Thethe Articles|For The Articles]].
** They could have stopped at putting a Playboy mansion in this, but no. They had to take it further by showing us the Hefner [[Captain Ersatz]]' bed room. His bed has a... manly shape to it. Of course, we only got to see this because Wonder Woman wanted to see Hefner's stone. She meant the Philosopher's Stone. He thought she wanted to see something else...
* A more serious example, thanks to careful editing, is the scene where Aquaman ''cuts off his own arm and they blatantly say that he did it!'' ("The Enemy Below") Also, "A Better World": parallel Superman glaring at Lex Luthor with glowing eyes as he decides that [[Being Good Sucks|he's tired of playing the hero]], when the camera cuts away to Batman, who suddenly asks Wonder Woman if she smells something ''burning''...
Line 144:
'''Warhawk''': Kinda obvious, don't you think?<br />
'''(Bruce) Batman''': Even if it wasn't...leave it be, there are things about your future you shouldn't want to know.<br />
'''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|(Terry) Batman]]''': Believe me, you really don't.<br />
(''[[Static (Comic Bookcomics)|Static]] comes in'')<br />
'''Static''': Shayera was one ''cranky'' pregnant lady - although to be fair, if I laid an egg ''that'' size...<br />
[GL's eyes bulge]<br />
Line 169:
*** It's also a reference to fans going berserk over the tension between the two being resolved.
* In the final part of "Starcrossed", during the final battle between Green Lantern and <s> Katar Hol</s> [[Significant Anagram|Hro Talak]] in "Starcrossed", John tells Talak to "[[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|Kiss]] [[Punctuated for Emphasis|my]] [[An Axe to Grind|axe!]] He did make an axe with his ring, but the delivery of the line sounds so much like "ass" that many fans think that's actually what he said.
** In the same episode, [[Martian Manhunter]] delves deep into Kragger (Hro Talak's right hand man)'s head. the first thing he sees is a destroyed statue of Hawkgirl (Talak's fiance, last they knew), followed by a statue of the man [[Ho Yay|right beside]] Talak, so close they could make a ''doorway between their legs.'' [[Bruce Timm (Creator)|Bruce Timm]] [http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Kragger states this was intentional.]
* In "Fearful Symmetry", upon finding out about Galatea, Green Arrow notes that she is identical to Supergirl, just more "mature." The camera is centered squarely on Galatea's chest.
** Not surprising considering [[Power Girl|who]] Galatea is basically an [[Expy]] of.
Line 178:
*** We were all provided a [[Male Gaze]] of Queen, from The Joker's POV. The fact that she is a teen also comes close to crossing the line into [[Ephebophile]].
* When the Question decrypted some Cadmus files in "Question Authority", there appears to be one titled 'BRAZILBOYZ'. I'm sure that's...perfectly innocent. Yes.
** Hey, I'm sure that was just a [[The Boys Fromfrom Brazil|reference]] to [[You Cloned Hitler|cloning Hitler!]] What's so bad about that?
** Doubles as [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] if you've seen [[Watchmen (Filmfilm)|Watchmen]].
** I always thought it was a [[Brick Joke]] to Question's belief that [[Boy Band|Boy Bands]] were one aspect of the [[Ancient Conspiracy]]. The name is just rife of boy band naming.
* The episode "This Little Piggy" has a pretty good one, right before Circe turns Wonder Woman into a pig.
Line 197:
** In "To Another Shore", a similar occurence happens. Giganta, Heatwave, and some other guys are out on a mission. At one point the group starts to walk off, with Giganta still in her giant form. Heatwave walks underneath her, and they actually make a point of showing him briefly stopping and looking up as he does so!
** In the same episode, Grodd mentions how bad decisions can come from of 'one of those moods that you get in from time to time'. Giganta replies "I hear that!", which is [[Informed Flaw|out-of-the-blue]] enough to make one suspect that she's actually [[No Periods, Period|talking about something a little different...]]
** [[Wonder Woman]]: "[[Straw Feminist|Men!]] Unless you do it yourself, it doesn't count." [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|Oh Wondy, you really have no idea do you?]]
* There's this exchange between Deadshot and Wonder Woman in "The Enemy Below":
