* ActuallyADoombot: Brainiac makes use of several duplicates to carry out his plans. He is initially fought as one of the earliest bosses in the game until its revealed to be a fake and he breaks Grodd out of prison.

* XanatosGambit: Brainiac sets up a complex scheme which involve unleashing nukes on populated areas, arming supervillains to cause chaos and releasing aliens in stasis all to distract the League and keep them busy from his plan: to unleash the stone's ultimate power and knowledge.

* MechaMooks: Not only Brainiac employs loads of these as his minions, but he provides the technology to other villains to have some of their own.

* DarkActionGirl: Queen Bee and Killer Frost are the two female supervillains fought in this game.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Brainiac is believed to be the final threat, but he was being manipulated all along by the real BigBad, Darkseid.]]

* AxCrazy: Killer Frost has no problem launching two nukes into heavily populated areas and she ''boasts'' about being criminally insane.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Brainiac sought infinite knowledge and wisdom provided by the strange entity trapped inside the meteorite. [[spoiler: He instead unleashed an imprisioned Darkseid who proceeded to tear him apart.]]

* ExactWords: [[spoiler:When the League confront on the subject of manipulating Brainiac, Darkseid invokes this when he said he'd offered Brainiac unlimited power (releasing Darkseid) and knowledge ("What higher lesson is there than this? Never trust Darkseid.").]]

* CameraScrew: On the free-roaming levels, the camera is constantly swinging to follow behind your controlled character. Swing speed can be adjusted in options, but it doesn't make the game any less disorienting.

* BalefulPolymorph: One of Zatana's spells turns enemies into rabbits. They retain their status as enemies which leads to such scenes as Superman frying said rabbits with heat-vision.

* ArtificialStupidity: One of the missions inside the missile base is breaking down an armored door to save a scientist. You need to bust up the containers around the area to reveal explosive crates that are the only way to bring down the door in time. Not only it is a TimedMission with lots of enemies to hinder you (there are five dimensional doors around the area, which continuously spawn them until they are destroyed, and among those enemies are mutant frogs whose puke slows you down), your partner also sometimes picks up the crates and chucks them at the enemies or empty space rather than at the door, wasting you precious time.
