Line 4:
* The three-part episode "World's Finest" had a scene that established exactly what the relationship between Superman and Batman would be. When he confronts Batman in the midst of roughing up some mobsters, Superman gets grabbed and judo-thrown across the room. (The look of utter surprise on his face as he comes to rest is excellent.) Superman then peers through Batman's mask with his x-ray vision and discovers Bruce Wayne underneath. After a heated argument that ends with kryptonite, Superman returns home and while changing into Clark Kent, finds a tracer on his cape. Looking out over the skyline, he sees Batman on a <s> nearby</s> very far away rooftop with binoculars looking back; Batman waves at him and vanishes into the shadows. Clark grits his teeth and crushes the tracer between his fingertips.
** Also, The Joker. When comes to Metropolis, everyone underestimates him and Batman as powerless nuts who are no real threat to anyone, from mob bosses to Lex Luthor to Superman himself. He then [[Not So Harmless|proceeds to show everyone why underestimating him is generally a bad]] (IE: fatal) idea, fooling everyone he comes across and blowing up half of Metropolis before he gets taken down. His best moment is him completely outwitting Superman, getting the drop on him with a statue made of Kryptonite and some well placed acid, dancing around his weakened body and sadistically torturing him while laughing maniacally, in one of the more sadistic [[Break the Haughty]] moments in [[Western Animation]]. Worst of all, he apparently only let Superman think he won at first so that he could kill him in front of a kidnapped Lois Lane. And, if it weren't for the timely intervention of Batman, he would have succeeded.

** This one's almost nothing but Moments of Awesome! One of the best comes when Joker "borrows" one of Luthor's giant killer robots and sics it on Batman, which chases him and later Lois all around town, resisting all the punishment Batman can throw at it. Finally it corners them and is moving in for the kill when Superman casually smashes it with one blow, while wearing an expression that clearly says 'You may be [[Memetic Mutation|the Goddamn Batman]], but I'm still the Man of Steel.'
* The Kents' Moment of Awesome comes in a time-travel episode, where Brainiac travels to Smallville to try and kill Superman while he's still a teenager. Brainiac and Clark battle it out in the family's barn, and Brainiac seems to have the upper hand...and then Ma and Pa Kent open fire on him with double-barrelled shotguns. Sure, it didn't have much effect aside from getting Clark some time to recover, but it takes balls to take on a super-powered homicidal robot with buckshot.
Line 13:
** Three words, my friend: ''"Lights Out, Clyde!"''... '''BAM'''. Lobo knocks Superman out with ''a punch to the face!''
* What, no love for Dan Turpin?

'''Turpin''': [[Shut UP, Hannibal|In a pig's eye!]] }}
** {{spoiler|Turpin then goes on to rally the other humans, tackle one of Darkseid's henchmen and finally free Superman with a well-aimed throw of the aforementioned henchman's weapon. ''Taunting Darkseid all the while''.}}
Line 37:
** Also his pwnage of Brianiac in same said episode.
** Or when his disguise as Batman was blown away, revealing the Man of Steel underneath.

'''Superman''': Yeah, well today's been full of surprises...''*decks Brainiac with one punch*'' }}
* Another crossover Batman episode. Ghul is basically got all of Superman's strength, and is prepared to kill Superman and Batman. Supes manages to distract Ghul from their attention by pointing out Talia is falling to her death (''either punish me or save your daughter''). And manages WHILE STILL WEAKENED to escape with an unconscioius Batman, from the self destructing hideout.
* Superman and the Flash having a race. Yeah I'm a sucker for these two, but the fastest man alive and faster than a speeding bullet going all out was awesome!
** And, according to [[Word of God]] {{spoiler|Flash won.}}
* During ''A Fish Story'', [[
** Aquaman spent this episode as an [[Ambadassador]], as he tried to convince Luthor to call off his underwater drilling operation and was captured as a result. When Lois finds him, Aquaman admits [[Self
* Lana instantly deducing Superman's identity, and surprising him by asking if Martha made his costume.
* All of "Brave New Metropolis," an extremely dark Elseworld story about just how badly Lois' death would affect Superman. And it climaxes with Lex Luthor being exposed, confronted by all the people he's screwed over, and then actually ''killed'', the censors allowing it because it wasn't the "real" Luthor.
