* Batman's decision to use the Mother Box [[spoiler:to bring Superman BackFromTheDead is openly discussed for its ethical ramifications and the potential risk of Superman [[CameBackWrong coming back wrong]], but Batman insists that they go ahead even if there's a "fraction of a chance", and his backup plan in case of ResurrectionSickness is using Lois Lane, more or less as "bait", as a LivingEmotionalCrutch. This ends up working out for the best, but consider that Superman in his brief rampage unleashes laser vision on the League, hits a cop car, with the officer diving out, and that he was on the path of killing the League and Batman. It could have easily become tragic, and a Zombie Clark might have killed Lois too in a mindless rage. Basically, Batman was really putting the lives of the League, and Lois, and other bystanders on the line to bring Superman back, for what was essentially a huge risk and gamble. The fact that it worked out for the best is MoralLuck, and his motivations for doing so, and his brushing aside Diana's complaints about how leaders have to ask people to die for them and command CanonFodder suggests a lot of dark stuff about Batman's character, and his past with Robin and his general KnightTemplar ethos]].

** Further reinforced by how ''Film/ManOfSteel'', ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and ''Justice League'' each represent one aspect of Jor El's quote in ''ManOfSteel'' about how Clark can inspire humanity.

** On the right, there's members of ancient civilization that were included in the alliance that defeated Steppenwolf the first time. Wonder Woman leave her beloved island and family to help humanity, but got disillusioned, isolated herself (while still preserving human culture), joined the Justice League voluntarily, and regained her confidence as leader while on the team (Batman baiting the parademon reminded her of their previous talk about how a member of the team ''will'' pull HeroicSacrifice and she's not going to let him). Aquaman was born on land because his mother wanted to protect him, he doesn't belong on either on land or sea, isolated himself (but still helping both human and Atlantean), joined the Justice League because of his duty as Atlantean king, and found a place to belong in the team (his lasso-induced Tsundere moment show that most of the rude things he said to Cyborg and others is because he's ''scared'' of dying, and of losing the closest thing he has to friends).
** And in the middle, [[spoiler: The World's Finest: Superman and Batman. TheCape and TheCowl. The hope of victims and the terror of criminals. An alien that became the best example of humanity, and a human that was forged by but ultimately rejected the worst of humanity. One is a new savior that finally changed and was accepted by the people, one is a veteran crime-fighter for 20+ years but feels like he didn't actually make a difference and is feared by people. One inspired others to be the best they could be, another gets ''inspired'' to be the best he could be (and by Nightwing existence, [[ParentalSubstitute had been]]). And many others. Here are the 2 paragons that lead the Justice League to be Earth's greatest protectors.]]
