!!Tropes applying to the 2011 series:
* AbortedArc:
** While investigating one of the Signalmen, Gavril is zapped by it, but doesn't seem to remember. An issue later, he's killed and this never comes up again.
** The annual that closes the issue has a Future Booster Gold tell Present Booster Gold that the remnants of the JLI will reform into the Global Guardians and be better than the JLI ever were. As of 2021, the Global Guardians have not made any appearance.
* AbusivePrecursors: The now-gone alien race who made the Signalmen designed them to destroy any planet they didn't find met their standards.
* ArcVillain: Peraxxus, the StarterVillain for the team.
* CassandraTruth: Nobody believes Booster's claim he's from the future.
* CowardlyLion: Godiva, whose experience prior to joining the team was taking down extremely low-level street threats. She's massively out of her depths with giant alien killer robots.
* DarkerAndEdgier: It's the ''New 52''. No "Bwa-ha-ha"ing to be found here.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: At the end of issue 6, Breakdown has his people set off a bomb right underneath the JLI, killing Gavril, Emerson Briggs and Emerson Esposito all at once.
* GainaxEnding: The annual. Just after Brother Eye is driven off, time suddenly stops as a future Booster Gold appears to tell his present self something bad is coming, apparently to do with Superman and Wonder Woman kissing. He suddenly vanishes from existence, followed by regular Booster.
* GameBreakingInjury: Vixen's injuries in the bombing are supposedly so bad she may never recover. She did, in fact, recover.
* HeadbuttingHeroes:
** Rocket Red and August General in Iron have some mutual bickering, thanks to the bad blood between their countries.
** Guy Gardner really doesn't like Booster Gold, and makes sure everyone knows as such at least once or twice an issue.
* HopeSpot: The annual. After the metric crap-ton the team goes through it looks like everything's on the up. Then OMAC is taken over by Brother Eye, and badly injures August General. Booster admits he was lying, and there's no-one supporting the team at all.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: OMAC attacks the JLI because Interjek scrambles with his head.
* MoodWhiplash: The end of issue 6. It looks like the team have managed to scrape together some approval from the UN, and have a moderately successful press conference. Then the issue ends with a bomb going off beneath their feet.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Chairman Bao of the UN is completely opposed to the idea of the JLI at all, but after issue 6 she really steps it up a notch, forbidding the team via legal writ from operating again and declaring that if they try to do so anything, she will personally ''ruin'' them.
* PlanetLooters: Peraxxus goes around finding planets seeded with Signalmen, then destroying them to sell the remains on the intergalactic market.
* VillainExitStageLeft: Peraxxus flees when the JLI defeat him, vowing to return. He hasn't so far.

Mr. Miracle tells him that if he's not careful he can make a big disaster, kicking things like that... and, suddenly, all the world turns black & white. But no, it wasn't because of Gardner, it was another attack of the aliens, which happened worldwide.

* LoveTheProductHateTheProducer: JLI Team Member Red Rocket aka Gavril Ivanovich plays this trope straight. He was a captain in the Rocket Red Brigade, but resigned out of disgust with Russia's continuing Westernization and took to becoming a revolutionary bent on destroying "all the corporate cancer and traitors" that had rotted his nation: western influences such as fast food chains and corporate businesses. Despite this, he is a long-standing admirer of the American-formed JLI and their merchandise and jumped with glee at the chance to team up with them.
