Though the handling of the Bats fantasy was better, I thought, and creepier. Bruce can't even imagine a happy ending for that night in Crime Alley after his dad beats the crap out of those guys -- the fantasy is a revenge fantasy, not a happy-life one.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
It works better with our post-Crisis grimmer Batman, for certain.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Diana gives Clark a replacement bottle city of Kandor.
Huh? How does one replace something that unique? Did she shrink Altanta or something? And wouldn't that make her a supervillain?

DX: blah blah blah Gemsmiths, blah blah blah Paradise Island. Replica, etc. It's the set up for a visual joke more than anything.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
DX, it's only a model. And Superman had already had a model done.

So there's no teensy people in it? Bother.

De nada.
Large sections of dialogue were duplicated in the 'toon version, but the feel of it is totally different.

Art Crawl!!!
Hmmm. I agree with Michele that having Bats completely unable to see beyond his initial trauma was much more effective than giving him his own little "Leave it to Beaver" fantasy world.
