** In particular [[spoiler:Owlman]], who chooses to FaceDeathWithDignity. [[spoiler:When Batman warps Owlman and his QED to a different version of Earth from Earth Prime and then high tails it out before going down with the ship himself, Owlman initially shows signs he could deactivate the device and save himself. However he stops before making his move, smirks, and utters "It doesn't matter...", choosing to stand to his nihilist beliefs instead of dooming himself to life on a cold, dead planet (as the Earth he's on is an icy wasteland).]]

* NamesTheSame: Superman's EvilCounterpart has nothing to do with [[UltraMan those giant silver guys]] who save Tokyo from {{Kaiju}} attacks.

* UnholyMatrimony: Owlman and Superwoman. While they had this relationship in the comics, Superwoman was ''Ultraman'''s wife and she mainly kept up the affair with Owlman to spite him.
* UngratefulBastard: Oh, you just saved [[spoiler: the multiverse]]? Ultraman does not care.
* VitriolicBestBuds: At the beginning of the movie, Flash complains that Batman had turned him into a guinea pig and that he does not feel that Batman likes him very much. At the end they need [[spoiler: superspeed to open a "doorway". Flash steps up, but Batman tells him he is too slow and Johnny Quick offers to do it.]] At the end, it turns out that the job Batman needed done [[spoiler: drained the life out of Johnny, and killed him, and ''that'' is why Batman would not let his universe's Flash do the job.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:Where exactly did Captain Super go during the final confrontation?

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: President Wilson. You might be more familiar with his EvilCounterpart [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Slade]] [[BadassNickname "Deathstroke"]] [[ProfessionalKiller Wilson.]]

** The tigerskin rug in Superwoman's personal quarters hints at a dark fate for the alternate version of a certain talking tiger.

** Owlman's Made Men are evil versions of the Outsiders, a team of misfits and nobodies led by Batman in the '80s and '00s. There's also some Detroit Leaguers in there (Evil Vibe/"Breakdance", Evil Vixen/"Vamp", and Evil Gypsy/"Gypsy Woman" - Evil Steel is missing for whatever reason); the implication is that these were some of the Made Men absorbed into his fold after the death of J'edd J'arkus, the counterpart to the Martian Manhunter, who led the Detroit League.

* HumansAreBastards: Owlman believes this. When Batman suggests that an alternate Earth was devastated by something else, Owlman sounds almost insulted. Owlman counteracts Batman's theory by telling him they both know what humans are capable of.

* BadassAbnormal: Owlman's suit is designed to augment his physical strength and durability. He is able to briefly overpower Wonder Woman during their first encounter (before she throws him off a plane). At one point he even shrugs off an explosive Batman places on his cowl.

* PoweredArmor: Owlman's costume and Good Lex Luthor's suit.

** ** TheDragon[=/=]TheEvilGenius: Owlman: Owlman

** [[TheDragon The Evil Genius]]: Owlman

** TheDragon/TheEvilGenius: Owlman

--> '''Jester''': I was down to my last joke anyway... *pulls out a bomb* ... but this one'll ''[[HeroicSacrifice kill ya!]]''

* AreWeThereYet: "That wasn't funny the first 'fifteen times' you said it either!"

--->'''Aquaman:''' That remains to be seen. *bitchslap!*

** TheDragon/EvilGenius: Owlman

* OrangeAndBlueContrast: See the poster up top.

In the DCU, there is another Earth where [[MirrorUniverse life is reversed]]. The human heart is on the right side, and morality is switched around. Supervillains such as LexLuthor and Slade Wilson are some of this world's greatest heroes. But on the other end of the spectrum, there is the [[PsychoRangers Crime Syndicate]]. Made up of {{Evil Counterpart}}s of the JusticeLeague, they run an empire of organized, superpowered crime that has all but taken over the world. Lex Luthor, in a desperate attempt to stop them, crosses over to the mainstream DC Universe to ask the League for help. While the League agrees, they're facing off against a world overflowing with supervillains, and Owlman ({{Franchise/Batman}}'s Evil Counterpart) has his own deadly agenda...

** If Martian Manhunter looks a little off, its because he's sporting his post-InfiniteCrisis look from the comics.

** One of Martian Manhunters is an image of the JLA's first adventure fighting Starro.

* MeaningfulName: Owlman's bomb is called the Q.E.D., or Quod Erat Demonstratum.

* MythologyGag: Owlman's Made Men are based on [[BatmanAndTheOutsiders the Outsiders]] and JusticeLeague Detroit.

* ShoutOut: Several to the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' franchise. The most noticeable is when Batman enters a scene in a construction MiniMecha that looks very much like Ripley's power loader suit from ''Film/{{Aliens}}''. The actual angle of the camera is also almost identical. And the space marines at the end have Pulse rifles.

An important fact to keep in mind is that, despite the similarities between the two factions, the Crime Syndicate of America is ''not'' composed of {{Evil Twin}}s of the Justice League of America. Though [[AllThereInTheManual not explained within the film itself]], the members of the Syndicate have different personal and professional backgrounds, with different origins for their superpowers and different secret identities. They are {{Expy}}s, which is why the "twins" have different voice-actors[[hottip:*:Bar Green Lantern]]; they are actually not the same people as those in the League.
