* AlienInvasion: Like usual, how the League forms, only in this case, it was Darkseid.
* BodyHorror: This was in full force with the Amazo Virus, with Armen Ikarus sporting bulging veins, a messed-up mouth, losing most of his hair, and even what looks to be patches of exposed muscle tissue at one point. And that's without getting into the depowering effects of it; giving superpowers to people in horrific ways; or that fact that when he had it, Batman was leaking blood and blind.
* BookEnds: The series began and ended with invasions by ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}.

* ChekhovsGunman:
** In issue 6, it's established Darkseid is looking for his daughter.
** In the same issue, a man and his family are given focus as they run from the Parademons. A few issues later, that turns out to be important.
* TheChewToy: Poor Steve Trevor. Dumped, humiliated, belittled, tortured, forced to put up with Green Arrow...
* ConflictBall: Thanks to Graves and the team's general hot-blooded nature, they start fighting in issue 10.



* DependingOnTheWriter: A cross-title one. The concurrently running ''Justice League International'' has Batman working with that team with no problem. Here, Batman describes them behind their back as a joke and threatens to shut them down.



* EyeScream: During the "Origins" arc that kicked the series off, Wonder Woman and Aquaman respectively stab a sword and trident into Darkseid's eyes.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, of all villains, was reduced to this in the opening arc, "Origins", mostly being used as a means for the New 52 version of the League to form and little of his established personality being on display through the arc.

Thanks to the events of ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'', the Franchise/DCUniverse was radically changed, with most superheroes only having been active for five years at most and initally greeted with hostility from the general populace. That all changes when an invasion by the planet [[ComicBook/NewGods Apokolips]] happens, leading to the formation of the Justice League. However, not all are happy with this, as the League learns as their adventures continues.
