* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The opening issues tease that the Legion of Doom are in full WellIntentionedExtremist mode due to DreamingOfThingsToCome and fearing the destruction of the world, but, reading the rest of the series, it can be hard to tell that most of them are supposed to be acting like anything other than their normal villainous selves.

** Elasti-Girl, from the ComicBook/DoomPatrol doesn’t appear until more than halfway through the story, but her TheBigGuy moments in Alex Ross's art style make her decently remembered and very notable.

* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Captain Cold is one of the least seen Legion of Doom members in the miniseries, but both the methods and attitude he sports while engaging in CutLexLuthorACheck PhotoOpWithTheDog heroics stand out.
** Elasti-Girl doesn’t appear until more than halfway through the story, but her TheBigGuy moments in Alex Ross's art style make her decently remembered and very notable.
** Scarecrow is one of the more generic villains in the story and only has a handful of action scenes, but his TheBlank mask and the scope of his MadScientist efforts make him highly memorable.
** Solomon Grundy TheBrute has even less personality than usual, but his fearsome appearance and occasional SmarterThanTheyLook moment (such as being one of the only villains to escape at the end of the story) make him a highly notable villain.
** The Metal Men are tertiary characters at best, but the way they use their liquid alloy powers to give the Justice League impressive battle suits makes them deeply appreciated parts of the miniseries.

* SpiritualSuccessor: The series is jokingly described by Alex Ross as ''"All-Star Justice League"'' due to being similar to the [[ComicBook/AllStarDCComics All Star books]] in terms of discontinuity and AdaptationDistillation. Somewhat {{subverted|Trope}} in the "successor" department since ''Justice'' was being made around the same time period when the All-Star line was still alive.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: Kind of redundant for Creator/AlexRoss, but for the sake of completion...
** So much so that the trade paperback gives Ross' name top billing and all of the review quotes on the cover refer to his artwork.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: As with all of Ross' works. In this case, enhanced by the fact that he painted over Doug Braithwaite's pencils, so this trope is a result of the combination of their different styles.

* CompleteMonster: ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}, the ultimate mastermind behind the LegionOfDoom and [[TheChessmaster the architect of most of the disasters in the story]], is an [[RoboticPsychopath advanced android]] created by the Computer Tyrants of Colu. When the Computer Tyrants were destroyed by the people they had oppressed, Brainiac decides to create his own version of Colu on Earth, by killing most of humanity and turning the rest into copies of himself. To do this, Brainiac meets with [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] villain [[MadScientist Doctor Sivana]], who has been developing [[MindControlDevice tiny robot worms that control the minds of others]]. Brainiac takes his research and uses it to [[DrivenToMadness drive Doctor Sivana insane]]. Brainiac forms his own Legion of Doom, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlling most of the members]], except for Lex Luthor who has a force field that protects him from Brainiac's devices. Brainiac has Black Manta kidnap Aquaman, with Brainiac wanting to learn more about his telepathy by cutting open his brain. Brainiac has the various Legion of Doom members [[FalselyReformedVillain pretend to have turned good and wanting to help humanity]], with several of them creating cities for the sick and needy, that will provided technology that will cure their illnesses and provided them with a good standard of life. Brainiac's micro worms have also let him take control of Earth's nuclear stockpile, with Brainiac planning to nuke most of the world to destroy humanity. When the Justice League reveal to Luthor that Brainiac has betrayed him, Luthor sabotages his plans and forces him to retreat to his ship. Brainiac, unhappy about losing, decides to set off the nukes anyway and destroy humanity.
* HarsherInHindsight: From Batman's private files on the Flash, he said Barry is "the kind of man [he] would have hoped to become had [his] parents not been murdered before [his] eyes". Sadly it's now no longer the case after Reverse-Flash traveled back in time to kill Barry's mother and his father, framed for her murder, died in prison.
* JustHereForGodzilla: A talking psychic gorilla wearing a GreenLanternRing on his ''foot''? YES!!
* MagnificentBastard: [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]] is the only supervillain who avoided ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}'s mind control worms, by using a forcefield of his own creation. Deciding to work alongside Brainiac, Lex serves as the figurehead of their plan to have the villains perform humanitarian actions and [[VillainWithGoodPublicity use the popular goodwill]] to slander the Justice League and create utopian artificial cities to lure millions of humans. Managing to hack the Justice League's satellite, Lex uses the information to perform coordinated attacks that put many heroes out of commission, with some fatally injured. When the League discovers Brainiac's plan to destroy the Earth using the Worldwide Nuclear Stockpile and forcibly roboticize the people in the cities, Lex is seemingly defeated, but later reveals that he has created a AI copy that hacks Brainiac's systems to force Brainiac to escape, confessing that his goal was to become the hero that saved Earth.
* {{Narm}}: While Aquaman's turn to PapaWolf can be classified as badass, one can't help but have flashbacks to Creator/MelGibson in ''Film/{{Ransom}}'' when he's searching for Brainiac.
