Awesome / Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

• Although Barbara was ultimately unable to prevent the theft of the prototype generator, she was still able to sense danger before everyone else in the room knew what happened, including being able to block a couple of shurikens with nothing but a clipboard. Also, in spite of being in the dark and smokescreened, she was able to accurately describe the turtles as she was relaying the events to Batman.
  • On that note, the turtles managed to take care of the Foot Clan ninjas so fast, Barbara wasn't even able to do anything after saving the engineers in the room.
  Batgirl: And then they were gone. It all happened so fast! And I didn't have time to—you know... Batgirl up!
• Batman vs. Shredder. Just... all of it.
  • For the villain's side, Shredder manages to hold his own against Batman and even defeat him during their first battle, albeit barely. Shredder even manages to catch him off-guard with the Sato-Oshi technique.
    Shredder: You picked the wrong battle, warrior.
  • On Batman's side, he more than holds his own against an opponent that seems to operate in Bullet Time during the fight, and is depicted in most media as almost inhumanly strong and fast. While Shredder clearly has the upper hand at the beginning, Batman adapts to Shredder's abilities and evens the playing field by breaking Shredder's blades and countering most of Shredder's moves. It takes Shredder busting out the Sato-Oshi to actually put Batman down, which would've likely led to more fatal wounds instead of pure blunt-force impact and bleeding from the mouth if his blades weren't broken.
  • Also before the fight is Shredder actually cutting Batman's grappling hook with his blades, which according to one comic issue cannot be so easily cut. This tips Batman off that Shredder is not some run-on-the-mill common thug.
  • Later in their fight, Batman gets payback for his cut cable by breaking Shredder's left wrist claw (and then the right one almost immediately after). The shocked look in Shredder's eyes shows him now truly registering that Batman is not some jabronee in a silly costume.
• Batman being able to take down all four turtle brothers by himself with little to no trouble during their first meeting, while injured from the above mentioned Sato-Oshi strike.
• Props to Donatello for being one of the few people in all of fiction able to locate the Batcave without discovering Batman's secret identity first.
  • It is later shown that only Michelangelo was shocked to discover that Batman was Bruce Wayne, though.
    Michelangelo: Dudes! I'm freaking out here! Did everyone else know that Batman is Bruce Wayne?!
    Raphael: *facepalms*
    Donatello: I mean... you knew the Batcave was under Wayne manor.
• Harley Quinn has typically been portrayed as constantly being on the end of Joker's domestic abuse, but when he orders her to administer the mutagen to the Arkham inmates, she straight-out refuses until Joker actually addressed her by her actual professional credentials.
  Joker: Oooooh nuuuuuuurse! [Harley shoots him a Death Glare] Oh, fine! Doctor Harley Quinn.
  Harley: You damn straight! [begins priming the mutagen into the pipeworks] Eight years of college, a three year residency, and he says nurse!
• The mutated forms of the Arkham Rogues and the fights they put up, particularly Mr. Freeze who manages to send Raphael, Michelangelo, and Damien into retreat.
  • Batgirl and Donnie fighting Bane, currently mutated into a hulking jaguar mutant. In straight up blows, Bane sends all of them flying and attempts to do his back-breaker on Donatello... only to break his knee trying to bust Donnie's shell on his leg. Barbara follows up by smashing a barbell across Bane's face to knock him out.
  • That being said once Batman becomes a mutant he easily takes them down incapacitating Two-Face by throwing he out a window and tackling through multiple floors and (doubles as Nightmare Fuel) possibly killing Freeze in a matter of seconds.
• Raphael calling out Batman for being grudging and judgmental and even forcibly turning him towards himself to get his attention definitely counts; made even more resonant by the fact that it succeeds.
• The Batmobile and the Turtle Van assault on the combined forced of the League of Assassins and the Foot (some of whom have been mutated). Special props to the Turtle Van which is able to keep pace with the high-tech Batmobile for the whole sequence.
  Robin: Do you ride around in this thing? On purpose?
  Leonardo: (Pulls a lever that transforms the van to battle mode.)
  Robin: Okay, that's cool!
• Batman allowing Mikey to push all the buttons on the Batmobile's console. Also a funny moment.
  Batman: Michelangelo, press some buttons.
  Mikey: (squeals with joy) I'mma hit all of 'em!
• How one random Foot Ninja in the climax was mutated into a T-Rex.
• Though mostly serving as funny, it's really cool to see Leo shut up Ra's al Ghul's Evil Gloating with something as simple as a Groin Attack (and it's implied that Leo may have even broken Ra's' pelvis) before ultimately taking him down with a Pressure Point-attack that Master Splinter taught him.
  Ra's: I'm hundreds of years old, and have trained with the greatest teachers in history! How could you possibly— (cut off by Groin Attack)
  Leo: Oh yeah? Well I'm sixteen... and I learned this from a rat! (proceeds to beat him down)
• When Batman is all but beaten by Shredder, and he asks the cliche Any Last Words? Batman's response:
  Batman: Cowabunga. (cue Shredder getting shell-checked by Raph, and Batman taking Shredder down)
