I've been ODing a bit on watching some of the Comic-Book adaptations. So, while I don't always remember names, lets see what my favorite episodes are.
Superman: The Animated Series. This is an easy call, I just watched it. The Late Mr. Kent. It has so many little freaky things. The "death" of Clark, everyone mourning over him, and then the actual execution of Det. Bowman.
Batman: The Animated Series: Pretty hard call here, as there are a number of very good episodes. In the end, I'd have to go with The Mechanic. It's harder to explain why I like it so well, but there it is.
Justice League: I don't recall the name of the two parter... but the one where GL and a few others go and meet up with a faux-JSA. It's really fun to see a Golden Age sensibility overlaid with a more "modern" comic.
Justice League Unlimited: Hm, since I don't have these on DVD, it's harder to say, but the end of Season 2, where Flash kicks it up a notch or three and dismantles Braini-thor. I always love scenes where a character is allowed to take their powers to the limit, and that's the best use of the Flash in all the seasons.
Teen Titans: I've only seen it once, but the episode where Kid Flash gets "captured" by Jinx and friends. Lots of humor, and some excellent character development of Jinx. (That said, when she shows up in the final blowup fight at the end of the season is a great moment.)
X-Men Evolution: There's a few good ones here, but I'd tend towards the one where Mystique kidnaps Scott and takes away his glasses. It has everything, excellent characterization, moving forward with plot (the relationship between Scott and Jean), a great fight seen, and Jean in a really, really bad mood. What more could you want?
