Line 265:
'''Batman''': At this point, he probably ''is''. }}
*** That scene came across as practicality on Batman's part - he knew he only had time to save one person, and Harley was closer and less of a threat to the world at large, so she got chosen. If Harley hadn't been there, you know he would have gotten Joker out of the plane.
**** For that matter, had it been physically possible to reach Joker in time you know Batman would have gotten them ''both'' out of the plane. As is, the Joker was not only too far away but impossible to reach without blowing yourself up even if the plane ''hadn't'' been a few seconds away from exploding and so, laughing boy pretty much doomed ''himself''.
* In the ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'' episode "Twilight", this is ''averted'' by ''[[Superman]]'' of all people. When [[Darkseid]] tells the League that Brainiac is trying to assimilate Apokolips, Superman refuses to help and the rest of the League has to convince him otherwise. After Darkseid's inevitable betrayal, Superman actually hunts him down to personally kill him. And he ''succeeds''—Darkseid remains dead all the way to the finale of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' four seasons later.
** Also subverted in the earlier episode "The Enemy Below." Orm ends up dangling off a ledge over a high drop, screaming for help, after trying to kill both his brother Aquaman and his infant son as well as untold numbers of people by melting the polar ice caps. Aquaman reaches down... and grabs his nearby trident instead, while Orm falls to his apparent death.
