* [=~Wouldn't Hit A Girl~=]: Notably averted with Comedian, twice. First time when he assaults Silk Spectre and the second time (almost hilariously) when he and Nite Owl are doing riot control: he jumps in the middle of the rioters, pauses for a moment; directly in front of him are a woman, a black man and a white man. He punches the girl first, then the black guy then the white, with equal force. Let it not be said the Comedian is not an equal opportunity thug.

*MetaTwist: [[spoiler:While it's obvious to a modern reader that Veidt is the murderer/guiding force behind the plot of the graphic novel, the book first appeared before comics in general became much DarkerAndEdgier and it was perfectly reasonable for an audience to assume that Veidt was the honest, caring man he seemed to be. Nowadays, a saintly-seeming character in a work otherwise full of grim antiheroes sticks out really obviously as the villain, so, film!Veidt became a glacial, aloof, rather sneering figure to actually ''detract'' the likelihood of his being the culprit from a newcomer's POV- only for it to still be him. But then it's twisted ''again'' in the end by how much less at peace he seems than his comic-book counterpart...]]
