Funny / Batman: The Brave and the Bold

Considering the show celebrates and embraces the silly and cheesy spirit of the Silver Age, let's just say there are more than a few moments...

• When asked in the first episode how the Gibble people know him, Batman brings up how the Scarab must have found a new host after the former host was killed, since it becomes obvious to Bats that the previous host is dead. Jaime is visibly unnerved, so Bats quickly changes the word to retired. Similarly, Batman is always referred to by the Gibbles as Jaime's sidekick, so he takes the role of Hyper-Competent Sidekick for the episode when it becomes obvious that the Gibbles will only take orders from Jaime.
  • After Batman plays a big role in saving the Gibbles, they finally build a statue of him...that's only about 1/4th of the size of Blue Beetle's statue.
• In "The Eyes of Despero", G'nort's Establishing Character Moment has him admit that he locked himself in the brig while bringing the prisoners their meals.
• G'nort's Epic Fail efforts to recite the very short and very important Green Lantern oath have some great Cringe Comedy moments. He starts out making ridiculous guesses that at least remember the right rhyming sounds and the general idea, but after several failures, he's drifting ridiculously far away from an accurate recital. He only gets it right because he has a "cheat sheet" written on his arm that he forgets about until the last minute.
  G'nort: On Arbor Day, or Harvest Moon, no weasel shall escape my... spoon?
• In "Menace of the Conqueror Caveman", Booster Gold recognizes a photo of the millennia-old conqueror and supervillain Kru'll and claims that they had some fights in the 25th century, before Booster went back in time. A flashback shows Kru'll, apparently retired from villainy, minding his own business in the museum where Booster works as a janitor, with the two bumping into each other and spilling Kru'll's coffee because Booster is distracted talking on his phone. Kru'll is annoyed, but doesn't attack Booster even after recognizing him as a superhero whom he fought with in the 21st century.
• In "Legends of the Dark Mite!" with the "Comic Con" parody, including cameos of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini dressed as the Joker and Harley Quinn, respectively. ^note  Here's◊ the proof!
  • As Bat-Mite tries to find a Worthy Opponent who will give Batman the toughest challenge possible, Batman claims that the man Bat-Mite wants is Calendar Man (one of his weakest foes in this continuity) to try and quickly wrap things up. Then, Bat-Mite decides to give Calendar Man superpowers to create monsters that personify every big holiday.
• Also, in the episode "Mayhem of the Music Meister!"... well, basically, the entire episode. Here's a hint: Batman's friends and foes are hypnotically placed in a musical against their will. YES.
  Batman: This show's closing early, Music Meister, due to criminal intent! (Beat) And bad reviews.
  • "Mayhem of the Music Meister!" has great music, but even better (and funnier) was the dancing, topped with Aquaman waltzing with Gorilla Grodd.
    • That episode also features, by association, Dr. Horrible falling in love with Azula. This realization makes the episode approximately 42% funnier. During one duet, she accidentally blows him away with her high note.
    • And by the end of the episode, Azula's singing a duet with Tidus.
  • The lone guy singing and dancing by himself in Antarctica during the final number.
  • In addition, there's also a reference to the "Shark Repellant" scene from the '60s movie.
• Green Arrow: "Flirterers!"
  • Made even better by the stunned look between Batman and Catwoman before he says it.
    • Made even better by Catwoman's two henchmen looking at each other after Batman calls her "lovely", obviously thinking "yeah, we know how this is going to turn out".
  • Later on during "Inside the Outsiders", there's the Deliberately Monochrome Black Lightning scene in which he blasts Psycho Pirate's creations in the form of innocent civilians (in color) for doing something he hates. ("Sprinkles? In coffee?! What are you, a six-year-old?!" "So, you're the reason why I had to replace my high tank top in the first place, Mr. I-Forgot-To-Scoop-It-Up!" "Again?! I told you, no white after Labor Day!!!" "How can I be calm when that [points to a "Smell That Pig IV" on the billboard] is coming to a theater near me?!") It's so hilarious when he fights. He also attacks Batman, not because he is trying to talk him down, but because he says superheroes with capes annoy him ("You can't even fly!").
  • The thing that annoys him the most? "Uric the Unicorn", a cutesy children's show.
  • "Happiness is a warm hug." "The heck it is! ZAAAAP
    • And near the end, when Psycho Pirate is feeding on Batman's rage, the Dark Knight escapes by thinking happy thoughts and smiling while he pummels Psycho Pirate to a pulp! What a hilarious fight scene!
• In "Clash of the Metal Men!", Helium, a living mass of helium gas, swirls around Batman so that he inhales some of it.
  Batman: (in a squeaky high-pitched voice) Your time will come, evildoer!
  Helium: That's never not funny!
• Angry!Batman to Slacker!Batman: "Batman does not eat nachos!" Slacker!Batman: *very pointed munch*
• The whole scene in "The Long Arm of the Law" where Plastic Man shows off his cut-rate Batcave (a messy garage) and dramatically deputizes a sidekick "By the power I’ve invested in me."
• The entire episode "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!", where he goes on a roadtrip with his wife and son, but keeps sneaking off to go on adventures. Every time he encounters a new hero, we get a titlecard that uses the Superfriends scene transition noise. It enters a whole other dimension of funny when, after Mera catches on, AQUAMAN promises that he's going to have a vacation with his family... followed by a titlecard for that.
  • At one point, AQUAMAN tries calling Batman for something to do, and catches him in the middle of beating up mooks.
    Batman: (After just tossing a mook off a ledge, he grabs his phone from his belt; answering) Batman!
  • Later in the episode:
    Mera: Why are we going to Gotham?
    Aquaman: (Gunshots in the distance) Because, my precious coral, Gotham City is one of the continent's oldest and most historic surface settlements. It's a center of world art, culture, and commerce. (woman screams) Windows up!
  • During the road-trip montage, AQUAMAN has the Atom and another villain fighting in front of his windshield; he uses the wipers to get them off.
    • And another part of the montage, has AQUAMAN look to see Sportsmaster driving next to him...but he's also on vacation with his own wife and daughter.
• Joker teaming up with Batman in "Game Over For Owlman" was bloody hilarious. Highlights include Joker accidentally unleashing sleeping gas on himself whilst fooling around with the Batmobile's controls, shouting "To the Batmobile!", deciding which weapons he can and can't use after Batman makes him promise not to hurt anyone and telling Owlman that they (him and Batman) "don't make deals with criminal scum!"
  • When Joker wakes up in the Batcave, he sees the section of his previous schemes against Batman and is touched by it, reminiscing on the times he almost killed Batman with everything displayed. Later, when Batman is reviewing his contingency plans to take down his friends and how Owlman stole them and is using them himself, Joker is in the background writing notes about the contingency plans. When Batman spots him, Joker innocently says he is "helping", with Batman yanking him off-screen.
  • Best of all, making bunny ears on Batman's dramatic entrance shadow.
  • When Batman asks him for help while grappling with Owlman, Joker fishes through his pockets for something non-lethal to intervene with and pulls out a gas gun ("Too toxic"), a knife ("Too stabby"), and a pie ("Too fruity"). He settles for pulling out a bazooka and firing it at the two Batmen.
    Joker: The real one'll move. (smile drops) He always does...
  • And during the climactic battle, while all of the heroes and villains are fighting epically, Joker is running around in the background cackling and holding up a bomb a la Adam West.
  • It's momentary, but there's a snippet of a scene where various heroes are being coordinated to try and pin down Batman after Owlman's been making him look bad. We cut to a jubilant Plastic Man on the phone, taking long, bouncy strides towards the source of trouble—at which point Green Arrow very bluntly says he's not needed. Plastic Man visibly and audibly deflates (literally) and mopes back offscreen the way he came. It's at once sad and hilarious.
• In "The Siege of Starro Part One", Booster Gold invites himself to the Batcave, tries to act like a special guest, makes a Large Ham Cassandra Truth prediction about Starro's invasion (all he remembers is it will involve a diaper truck), then gets chased out of the cave by a fed-up Batman.
  Skeets We should go before he sics the dog on us again sir.
• In "The Siege of Starro Part Two", after Starro is defeated by a combination of B'wana Beast's powers dividing him and Alloy's strength, Aquaman says, "I shall name this adventure... 'THE TIME THE C-LIST HEROES BARELY SAVED THE DAY'!!!"
• In a similar vein to the one above, "I think I shall call this adventure 'THE TIME BATMAN SENT US TO THE WRONG ISLAND!'" It's just so funny to see AQUAMAN being sarcastic, but in an odd form of deadpan humor where he doesn't change the tone of his voice in any way from any of the other adventures.
• A Sherman Tank driven by the ghost of a Confederate General does a Dukes Of Hazzard-style jump over a drawbridge, horn and all.
  • Just for the record, that was The Haunted Tank from DC's military comics, and it was being driven by General Jeb Stuart.
• "Worlds War" is one hilarious moment after another! Kanjar Ro is all set to use a hijacked zeta-beam to deliver a massive bomb to planet Rann while his cronies fight off Adam Strange. Only things go awry when they seem to hop to every other planet except Rann. It's made pretty clear pretty fast that the space-pirate doesn't exactly know what he's doing with the control rod as the first couple of planet hops leave some of his henchman stranded. The first one's left unconscious in a makeshift scrapyard of the stuff Ro tested the zeta-beam on, the second's left out in some rocky area, and the third is left on some jungle just as a hulking monster shows up. Only when they zeta-beam away both the henchman and the monster just stand there with a blank look on their faces! After that, Ro just gives up and sits with a defeated look on his face pushing the button again and again while Adam and the last henchman duke it out seemingly ignoring the constant change in locale! There's even a brief stop on Earth in front of Batman who only gets one word in before they hop again! And then comes the end of the fight where a stray dog that got caught up in the fun bites Ro letting Strange put a stop to him!
• Aquaman hears voices. Wee little voices. And they are just so cute!
• "Emperor Joker", generally. But as a more specific example, when the Joker creates a trap in which Batman can't escape, he's crushed to his death. Why is this funny? Batman's winged, harp-playing ghost appears, confirming that he died. However, with Joker's new Reality Warper powers, he brings Batman back from the dead... just to kill him all over again in a death montage rivaling the likes of Starscream's. Also doubles as a Moment of Awesome for this universe's Joker, doing what very few incarnations have done.
  • A second example from that episode would be Joker using his powers to render Harley Quinn mute. Every time she tries to say something it appears on a silent movie-style title card, complete with organ music. This is followed by Harley and Bat-Mite using this to their advantage, by pulling the title cards from the screen as they appear and using them as weapons. Harley even gets one when she blows a raspberry!
  • Batman's ghost playing the harp while keeping a serious expression.
• Katrina in Batman's body in "The Criss Cross Conspiracy!". By avoiding the Voices Are Mental shtick, we get to hear Batman say such lines as, "Does this suit make my butt look big?" and all in all acting even more campy than the 60s Batman.
  • Later in the episode: "Darling, I don't have to answer to you. I'm Batman!" Enough said.
    • Capped by Batgirl's reaction: "Did he just call you 'darling?'"
  • "Apparently, my center of gravity is now much.... higher."
• Plastic Man's warped sense of history in Cry Freedom Fighters, followed by him reviving Uncle Sam by leading everyone in a muddled version of Yankee Doodle, complete with bouncing ball onscreen lyrics. The writers must have realized how Narmy the moment would have been if it wasn't played for laughs, so they really went all out on it.
  • From that same episode, the end where Plastic Man doesn't even recognize Barack Obama.
• Almost everything Ice says in "Darkseid Descending".
  • THE GREEKS!
  • Everything Ice says PERIOD.
    • "I bet you say that to all the Nordic ice goddesses."
  • The "new League" almost immediately begin beating on each other instead of attending to the alien invasion thing.
    Manhunter (trying desperately to rally the troops): We must fight together!!
    Guy Gardner: What do ya think we're doing?
• Bat-Mite in the Scooby Doo segment of "Batman's Strangest Cases": "Look at this. Someone mispainted Batman's neck! I hate that..."
  • More hilariously is the fact that he missed an incorrectly painted Bat-symbol in the same scene.
  • It was mentioned in the Awesome page, but bears repeating here: Joker and Penguin getting the crap beaten out of them by Shaggy and Scooby-Doo!
  • Bat-Mite fast-forwarding through the intro.
    Bat-Mite: Let's just get on with the show already!
• In "The Malicious Mr. Mind!", Batman is hit with a age-reversing ray and spends the episode getting younger. After solving the woes of the Marvel family, he is thanked by the Captain himself. Batman's response?
  6 Year Old Batman: I loth a tooth. Wanna thee?
• In "Battle of the Superheroes" there's... erm... Well let's just say pretty much anything Superman does after being dosed with Red K. Not to mention the numerous shout-outs to classic moments from Superdickery.com.
  Jimmy: "Superman's turned into a real di-"
  Lois: "-fferent person!"
  • When this happens at the Fortress of Solitude:
    Superman: (shakes bottled city of Kandor) "EARTHQUAKE!"
  • Then when he drops it there's a muffled "OUCH!"
  • The entire episode is chock full of Superdickery references. Case in point:
    Jimmy: "We sure have had some good times."
    (flashback starts, with Jimmy as a giant monster, destroying a bridge)
    Superman: "Jimmy! I told you not to experiment with that growth ray! It's turned you into a super-menace, and now I must remove you from the Earth!"
    (Jimmy roars as the scene cuts back to a still smiling Jimmy)
  • Or there's the part earlier where Batman is talking to Lois about Superman's strange behavior. She Flashes Back to Supes having a barbecue on the beach with Lana Lang, telling Lois "It serves you right Lois, after all those love schemes you tried to get me to marry you!" What really sells the moment is when we cut back to the present and Lois quickly averts her eyes and says "I have no idea what he was talking about."
  • Alternatively, there's how Superman defeats Silver Age Mr. Mxyzptlk. He tells him a knock knock joke.
    Mxy: A joke? I love jokes. Who's there?
    Superman: Kltpzyxm.
    Mxy: Kltpzyxm who? [Beat] Aw, Nuts! (pops out of their dimension)
  • Just before that, Mxy's going nuts turning Jimmy into all sorts of weird versions of himself, all of which are taken from old comic covers— from "Bizarro Jimmy No. 1" to him getting married to a gorilla.
    • Speaking of Super Dickery references, "Emperor Joker" begins with the series's own take on the "Rainbow Batman" story, complete with the lines on the comic's cover repeated word-for-word.
• Remember how funny it was when Joker teamed up with Batman? Well "Joker: The Vile and the Villainous" has Joker in Batman's shoes teaming up with other villains. Complete with his own Joker-fied versions of Batman's gadgets. And his own version of the theme song.
  • It gets better. Due to Batman being the villain of this episode, they make him sound like an over the top supervillain, talking about his master plan.
    Batman: Fisherman! You'll never stop my master plan!
• This bit:
  Atom: Well, I hope you called the most intelligent and quick-witted hero you could find!
  [Door opens]
  AQUAMAN: Sorry I'm late, old chums!
  Atom: We're doomed.
• "Terror on Dinosaur Island!":
  Plastic Man: "Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Cause I'm seeing gorillas... riding pterodactyls... with harpoon guns... stealing a boat."
  Batman: "It's Gorilla Grodd."
  Plastic Man: "It's messed up is what it is!"
• Also from "Terror on Dinosaur Island" during Plastic Man's infiltration of the main fortress at one point he morphs into a shovel so some passing guards don't see him. Then one of the guards grabs hold of him, still in shovel form, takes him along... and stops at a dung heap. Talk about an Oh, Crap! moment.
  Plastic Man: Oh boy, this is not happening! This is not happening!
• In "Night of the Batmen!", Batman requests that his injury be kept secret. Then Plastic Man calls, saying he heard about it because Aquaman already wrote a memoir about it — and had done book signings and TV interviews.
  Plastic Man: "I called as soon as I heard. How ya feelin', Bats?"
  Batman: *Death Glare* "Who told you?"
  • Soon after:
  Batman:"Must... protect... Gotham..."
  • And let's not forget Plastic Man's reaction to Catwoman!
    • And just as funny is Catwoman's angry, almost disgusted response upon seeing that he's not the real Batman, because the reason she got her new outfit in the first place was specifically to get that reaction from Batman himself.
    • Deadshot's reaction to Green Arrow throwing a batarang at him, only for it to clatter harmlessly onto the ground.
      Deadshot: "Was... that meant for me?"
  • During their argument before being captured by The Joker:
    Captain Marvel: I'm pretty sure Batman wears pants!
    Plastic Man: Thanks for the fashion tip, Bat-Elvis!
  • When Batman first wakes up after being bedridden, he looks to his left to see the other heroes created a memorial shrine, complete with a framed photograph of himself, just in case he didn't make it. Then he notices the "GET WELL SOON!" balloon floating over his bed.
• Wonder Woman's theme song. WONDER WOMMMMANNNNN.
• Ryan Choi as a civilian:
  "So, you think you're tough, huh? Do ya, punk?! Well, you don't know who you're dealing with! I am Doctor Ryan Choi, and you are going down!" [his "opponent" is revealed to be a chalkboard full of calculus equations; he adds a minus sign to one] "Ha! How do you like that?! I JUST INVERTED YOUR EXPONENTIAL INTEGRAL!" [adds a minus sign to another equation] "Does it hurt?!" [pelvic thrusts]
• Superman pretending to put a straw up his nose while having dinner with Batman and Wonder Woman.
• Joker pretending to be an Amazonian.
• Lex pulls out a hunk of kryptonite; Superman gives a very bored "Here it comes..."
  • Lex then throws the rock at Superman, who redirects it into the lead-lined sewer. Owned.
• "Crisis, 22,300 Miles Above Earth!" has its moments.
  • "Can't talk now -- skiing ninjas.... with lasers!!!"
  • And Ice in the episode:
    "Ice, perhaps you should... mingle."
    "But I do not have to go to the bathroom!"
  • Speaking of the bathroom, the Jay Garrick Flash keeps having to go. He's apparently having prostate issues.
  • The Cold Open for the episode. Joker has Bat roasting on a giant rotisserie and reveals Batman as the guest of honor at a superhero celebrity roast with all of his arch-enemies as the audience! What follows can only be described as the villains doing bad standup until Joker decides to bring in comedian Jeffrey Ross!
• In "Mitefall!", Bat-Mite gives Ace a bipedal, talking nephew who looks familiar.
  • Bat-Mite laments how the show has finally Jumped the Shark. Cue AQUAMAN asking for the "Bat Shark-Repellent Spray." Followed by him trying to ruin the show by adding useless gadgets just for the toyline... All of which (down to the garish color schemes) were actually part of the toylines of previous Batman series.
  • Did we mention that Bat-Mite is opposed by Ambush Bug, who is voiced by Henry Winkler — the Trope Namer for Jumping the Shark?
  • John Wilkes Booth in a steampunk mechanical suit fighting Abraham Lincoln and Batman. This description doesn't even begin to describe the beauty of this scene.
    • Blink and you'll miss Abe grabbing the axe from the rack marked IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR CONFEDERATE CYBORG ATTACK.
• The teaser to "The Sword of the Atom!", which plays Aquaman's home life as a cheesy sitcom (The Currys of Atlantis, complete with a theme song sung by Aquaman and Studio Audience). Aquaman forgets his anniversary and has to wiggle out of trouble. Black Manta suffers hilarious Motive Decay by trying to blow up Aquaman's house because Fluke the dolphin ruined his octopus garden. ("...AGAIN!!")
  • Aquaman's phone call to Ryan Choi, where Aquaman suggests he travel over the phone line like the Atom would. As Choi explains that's not his power and that they're talking on cell phones, Aquaman sneaks through the door (tip-toeing) and surprises him.
    "I was outside the whole time!"
  • While miniaturized in the jungle, Aquaman suggests summoning help. As Choi complains that there's no sea life nearby to summon, two silverfish suddenly appear.
    Aquaman: A fish is a fish.
• Anytime Blue Beetle argues with his suit is hilarious but the true crowning moments of funny come when the thing just takes over.
  Batman: [about the random wormhole the suit is making] Has this sort of thing happened before?
  [flashback to Blue Beetle rescuing a cat from a tree; his arm suddenly turns into razor blades that shred all the leaves off the tree and the cat jumps down and attacks him]
  Blue Beetle: [quickly] No!
  • Or that wonderful speech Blue Beetle gives to the little squishy aliens in the first episode, ending on the triumphant note: "NOW WRAP IT UP!!!"
  • Jaime fawning over Huntress is his funniest non-suit related moment, along with his attempts to get advice from Batman:
    Blue Beetle: Hey, Batman, can I ask you something?
    Batman: [busy hacking into Calculator's computer] No.
    Blue Beetle: It's... about girls.
    Batman: No.
• In the Sherlock Holmes episode, Holmes' detective skills were more-or-less reduced to an Informed Ability. So in the sword-fight with Craddock, he brags that his reflexes are just as sharp as his mind... and is soundly walloped seconds later, after looking at his sword in confusion◊.
  • It's probably not intentional; Craddock hits so hard he was checking his sword for damage. Still funny if you imagine his internal monologue. "This guy's going to be a tough custo—OW! Jeez, is my sword okay? Did he hurt you, Baby?"
• The time The Atom is trying to explain to Aquaman in Journey To The Center Of The Bat!.
  Atom: As we travel through the villi the CP4 barium sonowave will indicate any monoclinic phylosilicates in our vicinity.
  Aquaman: English, man, English!
  Atom: This... little doo-hickey *beeps* when the cooties are near.
  Aquaman: Ah, I... cooties, yes.
  • The Death Glare Ryan shoots Aquaman once he finishes.
  • "It's replicating!" "Yes, and it's making more of itself too!"
• In "Menace of the Madniks", Booster changes the past, and returns to the present to find the city a wasteland with a giant energy monster. Batman shows up, calls his name, and he promptly denies anything is his fault. Batman says he was just going to ask for help with the monster.
  Batman: Wait...you've been meddling in the past again, haven't you?
  • Later on, Booster proposes several solutions to the problem.
    Batman: I am not explaining the intricacies of time travel to a man without a library card!
• A great one in "Gorillas in Our Midst" when Gorilla Grodd takes over Gotham and Detective Chimp nearly gets run over. Batman's completely flat delivery totally sells it.
  Batman: That was an ape driving a cab.
• Aquaman's Rousing Song of Heroism, which basically espouses "Heart Is an Awesome Power" - verbatim. Seeing him dressed as everyone from Superman to Black Canary is beyond hilarious. As is Captain Atom's reaction to the song.
  Captain Atom: ...What was that?
  Aquaman: *Catching his breath* I call it, "Aquaman's Rousing Song of Heroism". Beat. You don't look roused.
• The amazing "Birds of Prey" song is just hilarious.
  • A notable moment from the song is when Catwoman gets to Green Arrow ("Green Arrow has heroic traits, that is when he's shooting straight") and Black Canary, his wife/girlfriend (It's not clear in this continuity) takes a moment to be offended to which Catwoman can only respond with "I'm just saying."
• Batman incredulously saying "what does she see in that man?" after Steve Trevor brags about having Wonder Woman for a girlfriend. Steve does come off as a bit smug and smarmy.
• Alan Scott (the original Green Lantern) and Guy Gardner mocking each other's Weaksauce Weakness.
  Guy: So...your ring is weak to wood? What happens if someone comes at you with a pointy stick?
  Alan: The same thing that would happen to you, if it was painted yellow.
• The Teaser of the episode "Powerless". Batmen of All Nations versus Jokers of All Nations. Cossack Joker, Cossack-dance-kicking at one of the Batmen.
• In "Long Arm of the Law" Kite Man is explaining his origin story. Batman sums it up nicely in a deadpan way only Diedrich Bader could pull off.
  Batman: I see. The lightning bolt caused an emotional trauma that made you commit kite related crimes.
• The entirety of "Time Out For Vengeance!". Somebody tries to wipe out every Batman in history... and it's both Awesome and funny, because there's not only present-day Batman, there's Cave-Batman, Pirate-Batman, Gladiator-Batman and Robo-Batman. And then they team up with each other. It's every bit as awesome as it sounds.
  • Aquaman's pure happiness that he gets to fight Romans.
• In one episode, Red Tornado startles Batman.
  Red Tornado: I'm sorry if I startled you.
  Batman: I wasn't startled.
• The Cold Open for "The Last Bat on Earth!" sees Batman and Mister Miracle escaping an almost cartoonishly complex death trap while chatting like they're getting coffee together and warning the other of new hazards with all the intensity of a game of Hot and Cold.
  Batman: Only the great Mister Miracle could get me into a mess like this.
  MM: There's no sense arguing about it now. Let's just focus on—darts.
  (Batman and MM catch a dart in their teeth and start picking the locks)
  Batman: How's Big Barda?
  MM: Eh, we're trying to live the quiet life, but you know Barda: can't stay away from the action.
  Batman: Blade.
  (the two pull their arms out of the path of a saw)
  MM: You ever thought about settling down, Bats?
  Batman: I'm not the marrying kind.
  MM: Hammers.
  Batman: Got it.
  (Batman throws a Batarang and snaps the belt making the hammers move; the pair drive through a set of torches while blocking the flames with their capes)
  MM: This is a pretty good death trap.
  Batman: I've been in better, though the track is a nice touch.
• In issue 8 of the Comic-Book Adaptation, which is a crossover with the Great Ten, we get Celestial Archer shooting a Batarang with an explosive arrow. Batman's reaction is awesome.
  Batman: What in Green Arrow's name???
• The Ultra-Humanite's bio in the tie-in comic states that the real reason he put his brain in the body of an albino gorilla was because he got sick of people confusing him with Lex Luthor.
