Synopsis for "Virtue, Vice & Pumpkin Pie"
On Thanksgiving day, Batman and Mister Terrific walk down the hallways of JSA Headquarters. Batman worries about all the JSA and JLA being collectively gathered and a chance for a supervillain attack.
Elsewhere in the mansion, Black Canary approaches Doctor Mid-Nite and apologizes for the two of them not becoming a couple.[1]
When they sit down to have dinner as a group, Kulak and the Warlock of Ys appear, and announce their glorious attack on the group, as the dinner table is flipped and food is spilled. They suddenly swallow their words when they peer around and realize how many superheroes are gathered in one spot.
33 minutes later, Batman and Mr. Terrific walk downstairs to accept pizzas being delivered. Mr. Terrific recognizes Batman's wisdom about collecting everyone in one spot.

Notes
- This issue was reprinted in JSA Omnibus Vol. 2.
- Although he is shown on the cover, Wally West (the Flash of the JLA) does not appear in this issue. This probably indicates that "Virtue, Vice & Pumpkin Pie" takes place during the two months in which the Flash did not exist, as shown at the end of The Flash (Volume 2) #200. This is consistent with the fact that those two months began when Jesse Chambers became the JSA business manager (per The Flash #200 pp. 28, 37), which occurred in JSA #52.
- Serves as a sequel to JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice.
