* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: [[spoiler:The method that Brainiac used to brainwash the Justice League involves using advanced alien technology to ''literally drill into the back of their skills and restructure their brain''. That, and adding some other modifications to their bodies for better performance (i.e. Superman's higher resistance to Kryptonite).]]

* AdaptationalLateAppearance: Typically, the Justice League is formed sometime into the founders' respective superhero careers. In this universe, they are not founded until well after Batman had "[[FakingTheDead died]]" after a long career of protecting Gotham.

* BadassCrew: It's the Justice League, so of course they're a badass crew.

* WorfHadTheFlu: [[spoiler:Each of the Justice League get weakened in some way prior to their boss fights, which is why a bunch of D-Listers with guns are able to take them down]].

* AdaptationalBadass: Yes, really. [[spoiler:Brainiac modified him to resist normal Kryptonite. The Squad needs the alternate-world Luthor to create Gold Kryptonite to "have a fighting chance".]]

* CompositeCharacter: While 99% of him is indeed an adaptation of John Stewart from the comics, he mentions in a Hall of Justice exhibit that he used to be an architect, which he never was in the comics, but fellow Green Lantern Kyle Rayner was.

* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: The cutscene where she fights Superman is basically Rocksteady showing the full strength of their take on his character in cinematic form. [[CurbStompCushion While she doesn't instantly fall and manages to stab him with Kryptonite,]] it's revealed Brainiac had made him ''resistant'' to the normal green Kryptonite and he promptly fatally blasts her with his heat vision.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: In the very beginning, he saves the Suicide Squad from getting immediately killed by Green Lantern. Even though he later got brainwashed later, Wonder Woman, who he carried to safety, remains normal and her battle with Superman likely allowed the League to later kill him. Even before that, his last act before being brainwashed was preventing Batman from shooting Harley. And even while brainwashed, him saying that the brainwashed League members had to die via the Lasso of Truth ensured that the Squad and ARGUS didn't waste time trying to figure out how to cure them.]]

* BewareTheSuperman: The first trailer for ''VideoGame/SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague'' shows him murdering an innocent pilot in cold blood, implying that he's gone evil and the Suicide Squad are the only ones who can stop him.

* ShootingSuperman: The trailer ends with a boomerang harmlessly bouncing off of Superman's head, though it does annoy him just enough to prevent him from using his heat vision right on the spot. Boomerang tries to pass King Shark off as the one who threw it.

* TokenGoodTeammate: More like Token Still-Good Teammate, as the trailer shows what appears to be her sword slaying a Brainiac monster and fighting against Superman, who we know for certain is under Brainiac's control.

* ApocalypticLog: How the League encountered Braniac and how Braniac took control of them is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WemI3y-GPFc explained via these.]] [[note]] When Braniac first came, he invited the League to negotiate. While Batman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman did not like the idea, Superman and Green Lantern convinced them that since the five of them were going together, [[UnderestimatingBadassery they'd easily be]] [[TemptingFate able to deal with Braniac if things went south.]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere The only reason Flash and Wonder Woman were not brainwashed with the other three at first was that he picked her up and ran away with super speed after it got them.]] [[/note]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Yes, really. [[spoiler:Braniac modified him to resist normal Kryptonite. The Squad needs the alternate-world Luthor to create Gold Kryptonite to "have a fighting chance".]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler:He and Green Lantern thought they could negotiate with Braniac. That's what led to them being brainwashed by him.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: In contrast to other DC games, As she is the sole Justice League member not under Brainiac's control, she thus gets the most characterization and screentime out of them. It's still not a ton, but this is the first time she's not overshadowed by Superman and Batman in a video game.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: {{Subverted}}. She knows that she needs ARGUS and the Squad to help fight Braniac's forces with the rest of the League now fighting for the other side, but it's clear she doesn't like doing it. [[spoiler: Even as she dies, her parting words to the Squad are more of a begrudging acceptance that the fate of the world lies in their hands and that she has to hope they continue to overcome her initially low expectations.]]

* LastDisrespects: [[spoiler: Boomerang attempts to piss on his body shortly after the Suicide Squad kills him.]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: He and Superman thought they could negotiate with Braniac. That's what led to them being brainwashed by him.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: [[spoiler: In most continuities Wonder Woman is effectively an equal to Superman, or at least very close to it, capable of matching him in combat and keep up with him in terms of durability. Here, she dies via being incinerated by his heat vision, something she'd normally be able to NoSell or at least tank without issue. Partially {{Justified}} by Brainiac's modifications to Superman's body, but even then it still falls short of many of her other versions' durability feats.]]

* SwissArmySuperpower: SuperSpeed isn't the only application he can do with the power granted by the Speed Force, as the ''No More Heroes'' trailer shows him creating ''[[BlowYouAway tornados]]'' ''and'' ''[[ShockAndAwe throwing lightning bolts]]''.
** Near the start of the game after Green Lantern injures him he [[{{Invisibility}} vibrates his molecules fast enough to be invisible]] to hide, however, Captain Boomerang isn't fooled and stomps him while he's on the ground to make him reveal himself.

* ADayInTheLimelight: In contrast to other DC games, As she is the sole Justice League member not under Braniac's control, she thus gets the most characterization and screentime out of them. It's still not a ton, but this is the first time she's not overshadowed by Superman and Batman in a video game.

* GeniusBruiser: He was an architect before joining the U.S. Marines and subsequently the Green Lantern Corps.

* BrightIsNotGood: Besides [[DarkIsEvil Batman]] and [[TokenGoodTeammate Wonder Woman]], the Leaguers wear bright and colorful costumes and are no longer the heroes once Brainiac sank his tentacles in their minds.

* {{Determinator}}: PlayedForHorror. The user of the Green Lantern ring must possess a strong will to operate it after all.

* GeniusBruiser: He was an architect before joining the U.S. Marines and

An alien refuge from the destroyed planet Krypton, Superman was raised by the humble and loving Kent family at Smallville, Kansas before becoming a journalist for the Daily Planet in the city of Metropolis as Clark Kent.

* AdaptationalBadass : Yes, really. [[spoiler: Braniac modified him to resist normal Kryptonite. The Squad needs the alternate-world Luthor to create Gold Kryptonite to "have a fighting chance".]]

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: He and Green Lantern thought he could negotiate with Braniac. That's what lead to them being brainwashed by him.]]

* OnlySaneWoman: She's the one character on the side of the [[VillainProtagonist "protagonists"]] fully committed to saving all of Metropolis' civillians and undoing the mind-control of the other Justice League members, as it quickly becomes apparent in the game that Waller and the rest of ARGUS (and the Suicide Squad as they're forced to do their bidding) are trying to pursue their own murky agenda while fighting Braniac.

* TheWorfEffect: [[spoiler: The cutscene where she fights Superman is basically Rocksteady showing the full strength of their take on his character in cinematic form. [[CurbStompCushion While she doesn't instantly fall and manages to stab him with Kryptonite,]] it's revealed Braniac had made him ''resistant'' to the normal green Kryptonite and he promptly fatally blasts her with his heat vision.]]

* {{Determinator}}: The user of the Green Lantern ring must possess a strong will to operate it after all.

* GreenAndMean: After being brainwashed by Brainiac, John turned the EmeraldPower of the Green Lantern ring onto the very same people and planet he sworn to protect.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: [[spoiler: He and Superman thought he could negotiate with Braniac. That's what lead to them being brainwashed by him.]]

* MilitarySuperhero: John is a former marine turned intergalactic peacekeeper. Most of the constructs he uses in his BossBattle also use a military theme such as attack helicopters, sniper rifles and the like.

* BigDamnHeroes: Saves the bacon of the Suicide Squad a couple of times throughout the game.

* StarterVillain : Is the first League member the Suicide Squad really tussles with in ''Kill The Justice League''.
* SuperSpeed: Thanks to his connection to the Speed Force, the Flash is capable of running at superhuman speeds.

** Near the start of the game after he's injured by Green Lantern he [[{{Invisibility}} vibrates his molecules fast enough to be invisible]] to hide, however Captain Boomerang isn't fooled and stomps him while he's on the ground to make him reveal himself.

* GoofyPrintUnderwear: After his death it turns out his costume was another construct and he was wearing boxers with his logo on them underneath.

* LastDisrespects: Boomerang attempts to piss on his body shortly after the Suicide Squad kills him.

* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler: Applies for every member apart from Batman, as they're all killed within their debut game while the story focuses on their assassins more than it does them.
