** Captain Marvel's appearance is also utterly terrifying; the big, reassuring grin from the big red cheese becomes utterly unnerving, as is CM's fight versus Superman, basically curb-stomping Clark until he manages to stop Billy saying the magic word.

* Whenever we see the modern version of Orion, he is the very proud, extremely hot-headed, warrior that [[TheDeterminator never gives up the fight]]. But when we see him now, he is slumped in his throne, head down, eyes downcast, utterly broken and despondent. What hell did the denizens of Apokolips put him through to affect such a dramatic change? What finally broke his spirit?

** Superman near the end gets RedEyesTakeWarning and UnstoppableRage, and it's Norman's job to ''calm him down'' while he's in the middle of bringing down a building full of people.

* "Armageddon has arrived."

* The original Justice League are have become even more unsettling in their pursuit to restore the good old ways by any means necessary and some like the Flash, Red Tornado, Midnight, and Hawkman have become some variant of HumanoidAbomination. Batman himself, who is a perpetual SmugSmiler in this version instead of TheStoic he normally is. Even if they mean well, they're still notably terrifying.

* Magog begging Superman to kill him.
* Parasite splitting ComicBook/CaptainAtom in half.

* In-Universe Example from the {{Novelization}}: when the Joker is arrested after the Daily Planet incident, he's his usual giggling, mad self. [[spoiler: Then Magog shows up, and the Joker is truly terrified by what's about to happen. Then Magog fries the Joker's midsection into vapor.]]
* Magog begging Superman [[spoiler:to kill him.]]

* If the gangs of supers fighting it out in total disregard to the lives and welfare of civilian bystanders doesn't do it to you, then consider the descriptions for SuperpowerMeltdown, BewareTheSuperman, and UnstoppableRage, and put yourself in the shoes of one of the non-supers. OhCrap doesn't ''begin'' to describe that puckering sensation you should be feeling.

* The FridgeHorror over the fact that [[spoiler: Lois was killed with Joker gas.]]
** According to the {{Novelization}}, which has been accepted as canon in following stories, Lois had actually died from a head wound. She survived the Joker gas via a gas mask she kept in her desk and tried to take the Joker on with a fire extinguisher, only for him to bash her head in with a paperweight (after asking, "Lois Lane, n'est pas?") However, she survived long enough for her to die in Superman's arms]].

** [[spoiler: This was subverted in the follow up story in ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica''. Superman revealed to the Lois of New Earth that his Lois had actually died from a head wound. She survived the Joker gas via a gas mask she kept in her desk and tried to take the Joker on with a fire extinguisher, only for him to bash her head in with a paperweight. However, she survived long enough for her to die in Superman's arms]] - which how it was described in the {{Novelization}}.
