* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Downplayed, but the revelation that Cadmus is now in possession of Kirk Langstrom's Man-Bat research. Given the Man-Bat Serum's pre-established mutagenic properties, it's completely unsurprising that a government program like Cadmus -- one dedicated to Metahuman genetics research and weapons development -- would take a keen interest in his findings and experiments. However, Langstrom's research ''was'' destroyed by Dr. March [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE45TerrorInTheSky during the last Man-Bat incident]]. Whatever backups or fragments Cadmus acquired in the interim thus isn't the full set of data and so Dr. Milo hasn't made much effort replicating its effects and effectiveness.



* WhatWereYouThinking: Spoken verbatim by Waller to Eiling when she confronts the latter over launching a nuke at San Baquero.

* NoodleIncident: Milo's experiments apparently produced a superpowered warthog that rampaged through Cadmus' offices.

* MisplacedRetribution: {{Averted|Trope}}. Even though Milo explains to Doomsday that he was conditioned to kill Superman by Cadmus, and Man of Steel tries to tell him that he wasn't the one who lobotomized him, Doomsday makes it clear that he doesn't care about any of that and just wants to kill Superman.

* NotMeThisTime: Played with. Batman hacks into Waller’s line with the President to tell her to call off the nuke launched at San Baquero. She isn’t aware that Eiling launched the missile but plays it off like she did before hanging up to go yell at Eiling. Batman presumably picked up on the tone in her voice and notes, “She didn’t know...”

* WhatTheHellHero: The Justice League founders decide to send Doomsday into the Phantom Zone instead of finding a way to kill him. A recovering Batman (who wasn't there for the vote) learned about this and, following his conversation with Waller throughout the episode, exchanged with this after Superman claimed [[IDidWhatIHadToDo the monster left them no choice]]:

* ChekhovsGunman: Unintentionally averted. Hugo Strange makes an appearance as part of Cadmus’ council, seemingly setting him up for a role later on. However, the character being used as the BigBad for WesternAnimation/TheBatman led to him being ExiledFromContinuity and his role given to [[RememberTheNewGuy Dr. Moon]].
