I was inspired by caj's post about mysteries and thought I'd branch out to other genres.
What are your favorite science fiction stories in DC history?

It's not really DC (it's Vertigo) but Transmetropolitan and Lobo: The Last Czarnian
Depends how you define science fiction I suppose but I love:
Kamandi - the original Jack Kirby run was a blatant Planet of the Apes rip-off but so much fun and beautiful art. The recent Kamandi Challenge(collection recently released) was a lot of fun also.
Hawkworld - completely new direction for the Hawks as done by Timothy Truman. Great 3-issue mini. Hit or miss series.
Legion of Super-Heroes - The first 20 issues or so of volume 5(Mark Waid writing, Barry Kitson art) was a lot of fun, with the LoSH trying to justify their existence
Green Lantern - Sinestro corps wars. Big cosmic adventure done right by Geoff Johns and Dave Gibbons
OMAC - 2011 New 52 reboot was about a human consciousness placed into a powerful robot form. Only lasted 8 issues but some Dan Didio/Keith Giffen fun(if they are to your tastes)
Most recently, the Cave Carson series(Young Animal/DC) has been good and with 12 issues is easy to find
I list those is chronological order(and now realize they are all dystopian takes on main characters).

Most Silver Age Flash, Action Comics and Superman stories would count as Science Fiction.
Geoff Johns' Green Lantern Run, Action Comics run, Booster Gold run and The Dastardly Death of the Rogues Storyline from his Flash Run. Starlin Gates' Supergirl.
“Somewhere, in our darkest night, we made up the story of a man who will never let us down.”
- Grant Morrison on Superman
JLA: New Maps Of Hell (by Warren Ellis) is one of the only DCU stories I can think of I would label as proper science fiction.
I thought those old "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps" backups were great science fiction.
I also really liked "Cosmic Odyssey"
