Dr. Gotham in Shadowpact #15.
My respect for this story went up when I read Moore's comments on the story. The whole female of the species comment struck me as odd as did the power levels on display. Surely, Moore knew about WW???? Why did he poop on her thus?
Well, it turns out the story was written with Supergirl, not WW originally. At the last minute it had to be changed to WW because Supergirl was going to die in the Crisis.
Now that we have a open multiverse, I wonder if we will see the story as originally written. I wondered what had happened with Moore and how someone so smart could get it so wrong. I was a bit relieved to learn that he hadn't--as originally intended, the actions and comments and go-to-hell line make much better sense.

"Good-bye. Good luck. Good riddance."
Ever since the announcement that we'd see classic Marvel/DC crossovers republished, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite moments from my favorite stories. Indeed, coming across these crossovers in the Borders or Barnes and Nobles really ignited my passion for superhero comics after a long hiatus.
Full disclosure, I'm posting these in the "Most Awesome" thread over at the Marvel Comics boards. But since it's a DC crossover, well, I think these scenes are pretty appropriate for here.
Here is an awesome scene featuring a team up between Batman and Captain America:
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
I remember some complaints about this scene, how Batman shouldn't be putting such a hurt on Carnage. For me, Batman and Spidey teaming up looks cool nonetheless:
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
And sometimes the simplest of gestures proves the most eloquent:
"I am a man of peace."
"A man of peace...who fights like ten tigers."
The majority might not agree, but I loved it when The Batman paid a visit to The Marvel Universe (Earth-616):
"Good-bye. Good luck. Good riddance."
"Good-bye. Good luck. Good riddance."

Sharing some Silver Age love for Earth-2 Black Canary, who beat Superwoman, the Earth-3 Wonder Woman, without any powers.
