1. "I--I'm sorry, Daddy. I just wanted a pet of my own."-- Maxine Baker, Animal Man

9. "I grab my favorite "Action Hero" cocktail of animal abilities...strength of an elephant, reflexes of a fly, speed of a cheetah...and the bark of a dog. That one always freaks them out." -- Animal Man, Animal Man

Great post! I still need to get my hands on Static and OMAC, but I recognized (and appreciated) the other 8 immediately!
I realize it was technically from the previous week, but the "So you mean you just dress up like a bat?!" line, followed by the subsequent (no spoilers) action. . . definitely #1 on my list of reboot "one-liners."
I totally support your #1, though. So creepy!
#7 - a great sequence, but I'm not sure how well it translates without the paragraph before and after to really crystallize that idea. Definitely one of the best "ideas" out of last weeks DC comics, regardless. Plants are ruthlessly violent, they just do it slowly.
