* SliceOfLife: Often a source of humor in the series: it treated its characters as real people with quirks and flaws that we don't associate with superheroes. Even Martian Manhunter gained an addiction for... chocolate cookies.

* AmusingAlien: G'Nort. Amusing for us readers, for the League he's maddening. Max even appointed him as member of the "Justice League Antarctica", along with the Injustice League, just to get rid of him by relocating him in the middle of nowhere.

* HesBack: And how! Guy Gardner, after some months of IdentityAmnesia, was so calmy reading the poetry of Leonard Nimoy... then, with a new TapOnTheHead, he returns to be the Guy Gardner he all love and enjoy (well, he returns to his usual self, period) and goes with all the rage against Lobo.

* IdentityAmnesia: Tired of having Batman in command, Guy Gardner took off the ring and tried to settle things as men do. [[http://geek-news.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/int_jli_punch.jpg Batman thrashed the hell out of him in a single punch]]. When he woke up, he tried to retrieve his ring from beneath a desk, and got a second TapOnTheHead. When he woke up, he was a new Guy Gardner, interested in poetry, good feelings, friendship, respectful, being nice to everyone... in short, everything that Guy Garder is not. He stayed that way for several months (even across the Millenium crossover), and then returned to his true self against Lobo.

* Ms.Fanservice: Fire, with her second clothing set. Power girl, contrary to her usual role in modern DC comics, was '''not''' Ms. Fanservice back then: first she had the body of a bodybuilder rather than of a supermodel, and then she changed to the white-and-yellow with no CleavageWindow.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The [[OriginsIssue origin story]] of Maxwell Lord. He was a successful businessman, and found by chance the computer of Metron. Rather than using the computer for his purposes, the computer used Lord to TakeOverTheWorld (including his initial relations with the League). When he realized the true nature of the computer, Lord destroyed it, even if that meant that he would die afterwards because the computer was keeping him alive. The League found him and saved his life, and when the Martian Manhunter read Lord's mind and understanded the things he did. He left him with a JL card, as a token of his trust.

The team was reuinted by JuddWinick in the well-received ''Justice League: Generation Lost'' mini-series, albeit with the new BlueBeetle and Rocket Red filling in for their deceased predecessors. This lead to a 2011 relaunch of ''Justice League International'', which featured many of the same characters, as well as Vixen, Godiva and August General in Iron.

* NeverLiveItDown: The series' frequent use of self-deprecating humor had a somewhat negative impact on the cast after the book was cancelled, with most of the characters branded as incompetent jokesters by their fellow superheroes. Blue Beetle was probably hit the hardest by this, being regarded as an annoying buffoon right up until his violent death.
** The Super Buddies mini-series essentially opened with a WhereAreTheyNow segment showing just how far most of the JLI members had fallen since their time on the League. For instance, Fire was reduced to operating a soft-core porn website, and L-Ron was now shown working at a burger joint.
** Though things did eventually get better for some of the members. Fire went on to join Checkmate after ''Super Buddies'', the team was eventually reformed during ''BrightestDay''.

When Giffen and Dematteis left the series, they made a GrandFinale were the league lost the UN support and disbanded. Then, the League returned as the "Justice League Spectacular", with a standard super hero style. These folks returned in the miniseries "Formerly Known as the Justice League" and "I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League". As the 'real' Justice League was now in operation, they were named "The Super Buddies" instead. The team was reunited in the ''Justice League: Generation Lost'' mini-series, and a new JLI title written by Dan Jurgens was launched during the 2011 post-''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' reboot. The 2011 series introduced new members Vixen, Godiva and August General in Iron into the JLI.

There is a new series being published now that completely reboots the team, led by Booster and with many of the same characters.

* DorkAge: Nearly every JLI character was either killed, turned evil, or otherwise made tragic during DanDidio's administration of DCComics. This earned them a lot of FanHate.
** The final Super Buddies series even made a TakeThat to IdentityCrisis by having a running gag in which Sue Dibny was believed to be pregnant (She was killed in IC while apparently being pregnant.)



* TheyJustDidntCare: The DC editors decided they needed a shocking revelation for Infinite Crisis and that Max having been evil all along was it, ''despite'' being aware it made no sense since not only had he [[TheAtoner proven himself by then]] but his thoughts had been read by MartianManhunter (and the readers).
