Synopsis for "Man, I Hate Kids"
The members of the Justice Rookies that are adults are assigned to stay at the JLA Watchtower. So naturally, when Batman assigns him a task with the younger members because it will be "good for him", Green Arrow, the leader of the Honorary League of America is not happy that he works with "a bunch of kids." They are very well trained by he and Batman, but that doesn't make their complaining and immaturity any more tolerable. Green Arrow narrates the story with a classic, old, and grumpy tone of an old and mean man. They have their first assignment, to take down Deadshot, who has just received a hit assignment on Commissioner Gordon

Cyborg, Huntress and Green Lantern get into an argument about which one of them is the most useful to the team and Green Arrow ends it by yelling that at this moment they all are useless. They assume their planned positions and Green Arrow shoots a gas arrow Deadshot's way. The entirety of the apartment is now gas filled. Huntress falls through the weak floor on the floor above and is almost killed by Deadshot. Cyborg saves her and Green Lantern finally concentrates enough to surround Deadshot in a fatiguing box of willpower.

As they report back to the "lockers" in the Watchtower, the Justice Rookies recap the mission and Green Arrow shows his admiration for them. Their teamwork proved their maturity and he tells them in a manner much less grumpy than his usual manner, "Job well done." Batman visits him later and compliments his skills with the young members and that he is working his way to the Justice League very fast. Green Arrow remarks in return, "I still hate kids."
