* StarcrossedLovers: During the "Torment" story arc, Bekka and Batman form this pair. Even though he is a staunch CelibateHero, during that arc he is willing to throw it all away to be with her and she definitely reciprocates the sentiment. Unfortunately, Bekka is married to someone else whom she also loves and her husband loves her back. Even if she pursued a relationship, she [[MayflyDecemberRomance would have outlived Batman many lifetimes]] due to being a New Goddess herself.

* OutOfFocus: Over the years, Orion has been in an awkward spot where his two most defining aspects of his character, his rivalry with his dad, Darkseid and being the poster boy for the New Genesis gods, has been largely taken by Superman and Mister Miracle respectively. This is probably most evident with ComicBook/FinalCrisis. [[spoiler: Orion did kill Darkseid, but Darkseid was able to circumvent this by jumping from body to body to keep himself going, and this final fight doesn't even happen in Final Crisis but before the event itself in a flashback. Batman and Superman are the one that put him down for good.]]

* WarGod: He's New Genesis's resident God of War. Though, despite never shying away from combat, Orion does not see it as being something glorious, and as a warrior deity, he is something of a personification of the psychological scars that battle can inflict on others, given his own struggles with the violent impulses he inherited from his father.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Barda is an example of what happens when your mentor is a little bit ''too'' good at what they do. She is, without question, the most successful product of Granny Goodness' demonic and soul-crushing orphanage. Except she defected to the side of the heroes.

During ''Genesis'', Izaya's physical form was killed by the Olympian war-god [[Characters/WonderWoman Ares]], but his spirit lived on inside the Source. He sometimes returned to aid New Genesis by possessing the body of his hand-picked replacement, Takion. After the end of the Fourth World, Izaya incarnated on Earth as a homeless man and led the struggling good gods. Following ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', he has been resurrected to lead the gods of good in their new home.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Highfather's appearances in the New 52 continuity (in ''Comicbook/WonderWoman2011'' and the ''[[ComicBook/GreenLanternGodhead Godhead]]'' BatFamilyCrossover with the ''Comicbook/GreenLantern'' titles) portrayed him as a militaristic WellIntentionedExtremist, what the original Izaya may have been like before his epiphany. (Highfather was actually the BigBad of ''Godhead'', committing atrocities that made Darkseid redundant in the storyline; fortunately he has a HeelRealization before the end.)
