** We learn that the Injustice-verse Superman started his takeover of the world after the Joker tricked him into killing Lois and his unborn child by taking them up to space without a suit because he was under the effect of a Kryptonite-induced fear toxin that made Superman hallucinate that she was Doomsday. Lois' death triggered the hidden DeadMansSwitch in her to ''set off a nuke and blow up Metropolis''. The Joker then successfully goaded Superman into murdering him, something that he was never able to do with Batman.
** Injustice Steve Trevor was a Nazi spy who almost tricked Wonder Woman into surrendering the Amazons' Lasso of Hestia. His deception broke Diana's idealism and shaped her into the despicable BloodKnight she is today.

Any other character with ranged weaponry will inevitably play this straight, as the characters are rarely more than fifteen feet away from each other. Notable examples include Deathstroke and Comicbook/GreenArrow shooting opponents right a few feet away with a sniper rifle and a bow, Lobo firing an absurdly ShortRangeShotgun that has only a little more range than his melee attacks, and Lex Luthor using ''[[DeathFromAbove an orbital laser]]'' to blast an enemy right next to him.

Being on your second life-bar also allowed access to clashes, a combo breaker that can be used to turn the match in your favor, but only once per match per character. Also notably, while the first life-bar depletion has the character lie on the floor motionless for a few seconds, the match point will have the user get back up to strike a defeated pose as if they're even less damaged from the first round end.

* BatmanGrabsAGun: The game's story involves an alternate universe where the Justice League, led by Superman, have gone into KnightTemplar territory. The trigger was Metropolis being nuked by the Joker, with Lois Lane being among the victims. She was also pregnant with Superman's child at the time. This act led to Superman killing the Joker, setting him on the path to becoming a FallenHero. Deliberately invoked by the Joker in-universe: After years of tormenting Batman, Joker realised that Batman would never break, so he decided to see what would happen if a hero less acquainted with him and his methods had one bad day. Unfortunately for the Joker, [[GoneHorriblyRight it worked a little too well.]]
* BetrayalInsurance: In his ending, unsettled by his fight with his EvilCounterpart, Superman decides to ingest a Kryptonite piece that can be remotely detonated by a trigger which changes hands between each of the Justice League members, in case he ever goes down his counterpart's path.

As her new husband playfully mashed her face into the cake, years of abuse took its toll. Something in Harley snapped. She used the ceremonial knife to slash Joker's throat. Still in her wedding gown, Harley now resides permanently in Arkham Asylum.''

As time passes, he accepts [[PayEvilUntoEvil killing for justice]], but he also JumpsOffTheSlipperySlope, transforming him into an AxCrazy, raging maniac who reacts with ''[[DisproportionateRetribution outright brute force]]'' when others call him out on his actions. The way he [[spoiler:kills Shazam and Lex Luthor in a cold-blooded manner, and unleashes his thugs to quash any dissent against his rule]] shows the ruthless monster he's now become, a far cry from the idealistic hero he once was.

* PosthumousVillainVictory: In this universe, as well as its [[ComicBook/InjusticeGodsAmongUs tie-in comic]] and [[WesternAnimation/Injustice2021 animated film]], the Joker manipulated Superman into accidentally killing Lois, whose death set off a DeadMansSwitch that activates a nuclear weapon that destroys Metropolis, killing millions.
