* RaceLift: Vixen and (the current) Firestorm, both black super-heroes, appear white in this story. Likely a coloring error and not a conscious editting choice.

* PlotInducedStupidity: The page with Prometheus curb stomping the Justice League after [[spoiler:cutting off Roy's arm]] has the team use next to no actual stragy, e.g [[SquishyWizard Zatanna]] rushing into a fight head first.

** A strange case of Supergirl getting a new weakness. Apparentrly, her being close to magic pretty uch has the same effect as Kryptonite, if not worse. This is never brought up again.

* PantyShot: Miss Martian's black panties are briefly visible on a panel while she is fighting Brick. Criticized by [[AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]].

* PlotInducedStupidity: The page with Prometheus cyrb stomping the Justice LEague after [[spoilker:cutting off Roy's arm]] has the team use next to no actual stragy, e.g [[SquishyWizard Zatanna]] rushing into a fight ehad first.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Captain Marvel's lightning usually just changes him from his civilian form to superhero, and can be used offensively against people with a vulnerability to magic, e.g. Supergirl, and then suddenly he can use it to make a shield, protecting people (including Supergirl) from an explosion. Justified since [[spoiler: he's Prometheus]]

** Captain Marvel did attack Superman in exactly this manner in ''KingdomCome''.

* PoorCommunicationKills: {{Supergirl}} began to suspect that [[spoiler:CaptainMarvel was actually Prometheus]] after they survived the bombing, but refrained from mentioning her suspicions to any of the other characters for three issues.

'''''Justice League: Cry for Justice''''' (2009-2010) is a seven-issue limited series written by James Robinson with one purpose in mind: to make a team that actively seeks justice rather than merely responding to the need for it, like the JusticeLeagueOfAmerica. However, this only creates a thin line between [[ForGreatJustice Justice]] and {{Revenge}}.

* BashBrothers: Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi fight very well as a team, and spend the entire fight sequence complementing each other

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Deaths occur without buildup, meaning or any real plot relevance

* HollywoodLaw: Apparently, if you have a criminal record a costumed vigilante doesn't need to catch you comitting a crime or have any evidence that you have done or were planning to do so to be well within his rights to beat you senseless and arrest you. Any sane judge woul overturn virtually every "arrest" Hal and Ollie make in this series, if it got to court at all
* IdiotBall: Once the heroes have captured Prometheus, they tie him up... and put his helmet, the source of all his powers, back on his head. That's like leaving Batman his utility belt, or giving any of the Green Lanterns back their power rings once you've got them in your trap. This is not the only example of this behavior in the story, but it's a good representative.

* LampshadeHanging: Green Lantern points out that is practically Gotham law that all conversations should be on the roofs of buildings.

* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Captain Marvel's lightning usually just changes him from his civilian form to superhero, andncan be sued against people with a vulnerability to magic, e.g. Supergirl, and then suddenly he can use it to make a shield, protecting people (including Supergirl) from an explosion. Justified since [[spoiler: he's Prometheus]]

* DesignatedProtagonistSyndrome: Mikaal and Congorilla's subplot is much more exciting than the main plot, and, unlike the protagonists, shows them being genuinely heroic and competent

* TheWorfEffect: Prometheus, played up as being an unconquerable genius and unstoppble villain is taken out by [[spoiler: a single arrow to the head, didn't see that coming did he?]]

* HollywoodLaw: Apparently, if you have a criminal record a costumed vigilante doesn't need to catch you comitting a crime or have any evidence that you have done or were planning to do so to be well within his rights to beat you senseless and arrest you. Any sane judge woul overturn virtually every "arrst" Hal and Ollie make in this series, if it got to court at all

* StrongAsHeNeedsToBe: Sometimes Prometheus can curb stomp the entire JLA in a few panels, including WonderWoman, later he's beaten to a pulp by DonnaTroy, who has Wonder Woman's exact power set and power level, and later he can barely hold his own against BadassNormal Roy Harper.

* MoodWhiplash: The art skips from the gruesome, unceremonious deaths of beloved characters to cheap {{Fansevice}} in a matter of panels

* BoringInvincibleVillain: See above

** Also, the narrative depicts letting Prometheus go in exchange for the codes to his bombs as the only possible solution, since every bomb is specifically designed to counterract that city's hero, as Linkara pointed out, the obvious solution is to send each hero to a different city

* CoversAlwaysLie: See LexLuthor, SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, {{Sinestro}}, Poison Ivy, and Grodd on the cover image up top? None of them show up. At all.

* OneSceneWonder: [[GreenArrow Mia Dearden, or "Speedy II"]], appears for a total of four pages.

The story takes place after ''FinalCrisis'', where Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan begins to lose belief in what the team is fighting for, particularly justice. He and the GreenArrow quit the Justice League and begin to hunt down villains and ensure that people like Libra would never take flight again.

The series was originally planned to be an ongoing series and reinterpretation of the ''JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' series and team, [[ExecutiveMeddling but DC executives eventually shortened it to seven issues]], with the various characters and plot lines followed up in other series.

* ConceptsAreCheap: The main characters begin seeking justice without defining what it means, how it is different from the ideals and actions of the Justice League, or how it is different from [[{{Revenge}} a different concept]] all together.
