* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: In an alternate universe of the DCU, although ComicBook/TheJoker [[KickTheSonOfABitch was killed off early]] in the game by a grieving Superman for tricking him into killing his wife Lois and nuking Metropolis, the MonsterClown did have the last laugh as his VillainousLegacy of causing Superman's downfall has slowly led to the collapse of everything good in the ''Injustice''-verse, most notably the Justice League falling apart due to the enmity between Batman and Superman. Ironically, [[BatmanGambit this is exactly]] [[ThanatosGambit what Joker wanted]], including the part where it got him killed: to prove that others can have "a really bad day" in his twisted StrawNihilist mindset.

* AccidentalMurder: In the backstory, an encounter between the emerging Regime and Insurgency groups at Arkham Asylum had Damian Wayne angrily throw an escrima stick that ricocheted and hit Nightwing's exposed head. Nightwing collapsed, causing him to break his neck on the rubble. Damian attempted to say this was a mistake, but Batman would have none of it as he carried Dick's body away. This would lead to Damian siding with Superman.

* AdaptationalFriendship: Aside from the [[BewareTheSuperman iconic]] PointOfDivergence between the ''Injustice'' universe and the mainstream DC universe, another major divergence is that in this version, Superman and Lex Luthor are and have always been good friends instead of mortal enemies. However, the more heroic Lex takes issue with his friend's descent into evil and becomes a mole aiding Batman's group.

Posthumous examples are Villainous Legacy instead.


* GreaterScopeVillain: ''Injustice''-verse Joker posthumously becomes this, thanks to his sinister legacy of causing Superman's downfall. Joker certainly had the last laugh as Batman and Superman hate each other, the Justice League is dissolved for good, and worst of all, the ''Injustice''-verse becomes a CrapsackWorld. If he were alive to see the chaos he's unleashed in his wake, the Joker would have been cackling mad with glee.
