History Fridge / JusticeLeague

* Also from “Epilogue”: of course Bruce Wayne would have figured out that Terry McGinnis was actually his biological son as WordOfGod stated: as Batman, Bruce was the World’s Greatest Detective and probably still is one by the time he meets Terry.

* So for all intents and purposes the world that the Justice Lords come from is exactly the same as the one that the Justice League comes from. The main differences between the two only coming after the events of the Flash's death. OK... so that means that the Thanagarians are going to find a world without a Justice League to protect it making the Earth's destruction inevitable. And the irony is that the Justice Lords were far more likely to have attacked the Thanagarians the moment that they arrived instead of letting them gain a foothold and would have been able to organise a global resistance faster due to their status as absolute dictators. Its even possible that this far more rebellious Hawkgirl may be on the Lords side from the get-go, meaning that the Thangarians would be without any meaningful intelligence. The Justice Lords planet went from being better placed to defend against its enemies to being completely undefended in the space of a couple of days.

* Doomsday is revealed to be a product of [[CapeKiller Cadmus]], meant to neutralize Superman. An earlier episode had Amanda Waller intimate that the genesis for Cadmus was the Justice League episode featuring the invasion of the Justice Lords (the League had had to tell the government about the Justice Lords in order to secure a pardon for Lex Luthor). However, the first opponent the Justice Lords had to deal with when they came to
** Given that Hamilton turned on Superman because of the results of Superman TAS' ending, it's likely Cadmus started then as well, it just took evidence that the League could go bad willingly to prompt the government to up their budget and allow them to work more actively to counter the League, with Doomsday being one of the things that they'd already done.
* From the “A Better World” episode: Why did the power disruptor work on Lord Green Lantern? Like Batman, the Green Lanterns derive their “powers” from skills and technology, so it logically shouldn’t have worked on him. WordOfGod says that the power disruptor affects the nervous system. Technically, anyone affected by it still has their powers, they just can't use them anymore. What this doesn't explain is how Lord Superman is somehow unable to "keep using" his invulnerability.

* In "Kids' Stuff", Mordred's spell to get rid of all the adults... well, got rid of all the adults, everywhere, no matter ''what'' they were doing. How many kids were in cars, planes, surgery, or otherwise suddenly in mortal danger? Unless the spell somehow accounted for all that, Mordred could be responsible for ''untold thousands of deaths.''

* It's occasionally evident that Batman finds Flash somewhat annoying and that Flash finds Batman to be something of a "pompous jerk". That fits their obvious personality differences... which may be exacerbated by the fact that, as the two non-flying members of the original seven, they would often be stuck with each other in a vehicle or Green Lantern energy bubble.

* Besides the obvious HeroicWillpower, there's another reason Batman was able to slightly resist Ace's insanity in "Wild Cards": he's partially insane himself. As we see in the episode, while the also-insane Joker was able to resist her powers, he's far from immune when she's actively using them on him. As a common theme with Batman is that he just barely avoids being just as crazy as his enemies, the same applies to him. Note that similarly to the Joker (and Harley), Batman was not incapacitated until Ace specifically focused on him, and she had to concentrate even harder to fully overwhelm him.

** Fridge irony: a blink and you miss it during the finale but misandric Star Sapphire, who hates all men because she was hurt by them, is saved from death by being caught on his flying horse by Shining Knight. A knight in shining armor with his heart full of chivalry saves a "damsel in distress"/ evil sorceress.

* In "Alive", the penultimate episode of ''Unlimited'', we see the inherent flawed nature of evil factions. Both the Society and Darkseid's legions, for all their strengths, are full of petty little jerks who have no real cause but fighting for power and control. Darkseid's forces fight amongst themselves in his absence, leaving them vulnerable to any kind of outside attack. And Society is weakened by internecine conflict, with Lex Luthor's goal of a reunion with Brainiac falling apart due to Tala getting back at him for his betrayal. In the finale, there isn't internecine conflict, since all the superpowered factions [[EnemyMine are unified around the noble goal of protecting their homeland from invasion.]]

* During Season 3 of Unlimited, Luthor continued to speak to Brainiac's consciousness, apparently still existing within his mind. Said consciousness claims it enjoyed the brief time they were merged and wishes to re-merge once reconstructed. However, after he unwittingly resurrected Darkseid, Luthor claimed to no longer be able to hear Brainiac inside his head. Was a part of Brainiac truly speaking to Luthor, or was Lex manipulated into reviving the New God all along?

*** All this in mind, it makes sense why the episode prior to this (and following the episode in which the Question [[WellIntentionedExtremist attempts to kill Luthor]]) is called [[Flashpoint https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS2E10Flashpoint]]. It's not just a reference to the Watchtower's laser cannon pointing down.

* Batman's ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies speech to Wonder Woman seems excessively paranoid to the point it's funny, especially when Diana casually crushes a stone gargoyle's head into dust. Diana doesn't see how any of Batman's rogues could be a threat to her given her immense strength, combat skill, and NighInvulnerability. [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E16To18WorldsFinest Superman thought that once too]] and SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker would've killed him for it had Batman not been there to save him, an incident Diana likely remains completely unaware of.
