2	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kingdom1.JPG]]
3	[[caption-width-right:350:Revelation 14:7: Fear God, and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgement is come.]]
4	* "Armageddon has arrived." Meaning a war between the superhumans has officially begun.
5	* If the gangs of supers fighting it out in total disregard to the lives and welfare of civilian bystanders in their vicinity doesn't do it to you, then consider the descriptions for SuperpowerMeltdown, BewareTheSuperman, and UnstoppableRage, and put yourself in the shoes of one of the non-supers. OhCrap doesn't ''begin'' to describe that puckering sensation you should be feeling.
6	** Superman near the end gets RedEyesTakeWarning and UnstoppableRage, and it's Norman's job to ''calm him down'' while he's in the middle of bringing down a building full of people. Bear in mind that the building he's about to destroy is the ''United Nation's headquarters'', this is basically Superman declaring war upon all the nations of the world.
7	* The original Justice League have become even more unsettling in their pursuit to restore the good old ways by any means necessary and some like the Flash, Red Tornado, Midnight, and Hawkman have become some variant of HumanoidAbomination. Some like Wonder Woman have become ruthlessly murderous and bloodthirsty. Batman himself, has become a perpetual SmugSmiler in this version instead of TheStoic he normally is. Even if they all mean well, they're still notably terrifying.
8	* Billy Batson's torture and brainwashing at the hands of Luthor. "Mistu... mistu... Mr. ''Mind''."
9	** Captain Marvel's appearance is also utterly terrifying; the big, reassuring grin from the big red cheese becomes utterly unnerving, as is CM's fight versus Superman, which is him fighting Clark to a stalemate, before striking down Superman with his lightning bolt bringing the Man of Steel ''on his knees'', '''''repeatedly''''', until he manages to stop Billy from saying the magic word.
10	* The end when we're shown the effects of the nuclear bomb? In a full page, even? ''Dear God...''
11	* The FridgeHorror over the fact that Lois was killed with Joker gas.
12	** According to the {{Novelization}}, which has been accepted as canon in following stories, Lois had actually died from a head wound. She survived the Joker gas via a gas mask she kept in her desk and tried to take the Joker on with a fire extinguisher, only for him to bash her head in with a paperweight (after asking, "Lois Lane, n'est pas?") However, she survived long enough for her to die in Superman's arms.
13	* In-Universe Example from the {{Novelization}}: when the Joker is arrested after the Daily Planet incident, he's his usual giggling, mad self. Then Magog shows up, and the Joker is truly terrified by what's about to happen. Then Magog fries the Joker's midsection into vapor.
14	* Magog begging Superman to kill him after being driven insane by guilt in the middle of a field of bodies.
15	* Parasite splitting ComicBook/CaptainAtom in half by literally tearing him open with his hands.
16	* Several of the younger generation of heroes have adopted body modification to either make up for a lack of superpowers or enhance the ones they already have. [[BodyHorror Some of them are barely recognizable as human.]]
17	* As mentioned elsewhere, Genosyde's destruction of Arkham Asylum, Belle Reve prison and Blackgate Penitentiary didn't just cost the lives of metahumans, but also countless normal people, among them criminals (guilty or not), support staff, security guards, doctors, nurses, and visiting civilians. So just imagine being at home and turning on the television, and finding out that your loved one who is in one of those facilities in whatever capacity has likely been blown to smithereens, and it will be hours, maybe even days, before you know for sure if they survived or not. And maybe the worst part is the sheer randomness of this disaster, one ''no one'' could have seen coming.
18	* Whenever we see the modern version of Orion, he is the very proud, extremely hot-headed, warrior that [[TheDeterminator never gives up the fight]]. But when we see him now, he is slumped in his throne, head down, eyes downcast, utterly broken and despondent. What hell did the denizens of Apokolips put him through to affect such a dramatic change? What finally broke his spirit? According to Orion, his attempt at democracy had him winning by "an obscene plurality" (meaning, every single lowly voted for him -- out of fear). He is incapable of "saving" Apokolips. (It seems he's put his faith in Scott Free and Barda.)
