I admit, this one chokes me up every time.
I'm afraid it needs some background, since it's just a single scene from one episode of Justice League Unlimited. Because the Justice League was loyal to no government, the US government created the Cadmus project to develop their own super-weapons to defend against the JL. Ace of Clubs was one of those. Sometime after the project ended, the Joker forced Ace to work for him for a time as part of the Royal Flush Gang. Here, she has created a new gang to be her playmates, but they decided to fight the JL instead. Ace decides instead to close herself into a fortress in the park.
It may sound silly, but for me, the writing, acting, direction, and animation (body language, timing, shot framing) all come together to make a moving moment.
