Anyway, there's a story about Project Cadmus, Amanda Waller, etc. (idk if I'm spelling those right). But my point of this post is because part of it involves the Royal Flush gang and the character known as Ace.

If you have access to downloading this episode, I highly, highly suggest you watch it. Its all about Batman, so if you hate Superman, don't worry lol. Anyway, the part in question here is with Ace.

If you don't have access to downloading this episode, look below, I'm giving an outline of what part I'm talking about. If you can watch it, watch it before you read this thread.....

SPOILERS BELOW

Ace is thought to, very soon, die, and Amanda Waller wants her dead to make sure she doesn't destroy everything in range of miles from her. Batman takes the device to kill Ace with, but just sits down and talks to her. I'll give you a script of it if you want, but I don't feel like putting it in here now, I'm lazy lol. Batman basically talks to Ace, where she reveals that she knows what he's doing, and that she's scared to die. She asks him to stay with her, and he does, and she dies. Ace is a villain, but it was one of the saddest things I've ever seen on a cartoon. The fact that she's a villain made it even more sad, cause Batman cared enough for an evil person to sit there and stay with them while they passed on. I thought this was a great sight of Bruce's character, and also, of Ace's. I was never a fan of Ace, seeing as I'm not a comic book reader, I just watch the shows and whatnot, and I've only seen Ace maybe a total of three times in my years....but now I love the character and I want to find out as much as possible. RF gang can go to hell, Ace is the cool one...who'da thunk that a little girl would be so menacing like that. I love it, lol. Your thoughts?

That was a very powerful scene. One of my favourite moments from JLU.

"I thought this was a great sight of Bruce's character, and also, of Ace's." Exactly.

You pretty much said it perfectly, except that Ace wasn't evil. Dangerous certainly, but not evil.

I especially liked when she told Batman she knew that he never intended to kill her. As she says it, she seems happy for a second.
