1----
2* ActingForTwo: Not only is this frequent in the story, but the trope is inevitable with the Clash system.
3** Creator/FredTatasciore as Solomon Grundy and Bane.
4** Creator/TaraStrong as Harley Quinn and Raven.
5** Creator/TroyBaker as Nightwing, Sinestro, and an Atlantean soldier.
6** Creator/AlanTudyk as Green Arrow and the Atlantean archivist.
7** J. G. Hertzler as Deathstroke and Ares.
8** Creator/JenniferHale as Hawkgirl and Killer Frost.
9** Joey Naber as Shazam, Black Adam, and the radio news reporter covering the Battle of Stryker's Island.
10** Creator/KharyPayton as Cyborg, Doomsday, and an Elite Trooper.
11** Creator/NealMcDonough as the Flash, Regime!Nightwing, and another Elite Trooper.
12** Creator/GreyDeLisle as Catwoman and Green Lantern's ring.
13** Creator/SusanEisenberg as Wonder Woman and a radio hostess.
14** Creator/RichardEpcar as the Joker and another radio host.
15** Creator/PhilLaMarr as Aquaman, Green Lantern John Stewart, and an Arkham Asylum guard.
16** Creator/AdamBaldwin as [[LightIsGood Green]]/[[LightIsNotGood Yellow]] Lantern Hal Jordan and the artificial intelligence for Insurgency!Lex Luthor's warsuit.
17* BannedInChina: And in the United Arab Emirates. The game's name was changed to ''Injustice: The Almighty Among Us'' for the countries in the Middle East to avoid conflict due to the ''Gods'' name, but in the UAE they still refused to allow the game there.
18* BillingDisplacement:
19** Nightwing/Dick Grayson. Though the player plays as him by default and he shows up in advertisement, he only has a brief part in the actual story. In the alternate universe, [[spoiler: he is already dead by the time the storyline takes place, and the only Nightwing the player sees is actually Damian Wayne/Robin, who killed him and took his moniker. The game also treats the player as Damian for the purposes of his Battles Ending, though not for the S.T.A.R. Labs Missions quest, the only place the player plays as Dick.]]
20** There are several characters who appear and are playable by default as their mainstream versions, even though they never or barely actually appear and their presence is instead taken up by their Regime/Insurgency versions - Raven, Shazam, Hawkgirl, Catwoman and Harley (though Harley at least does have a very brief one or two line appearance). Mainstream Flash also plays a part in working behind the scenes with his universe's Cyborg and Superman, but you play as Regime Flash in the Story Mode and the Classic Battle implies that you play as Regime Flash.
21** Classic Battle takes the player as if using the main universe Shazam instead of Regime version. And while it looks ambiguous, it looks like the same goes to Raven. [[note]]Raven's quotes and moveset seem to better fit Regime Raven, who has given in to her father Trigon's control. Her super move even has Trigon help out, something that a good, mainstream Raven wouldn't do, although it falls onto GameplayAndStorySegregation (controlling Mainstream Raven in STARS Lab Mission still allows her to summon Trigon for super move when possible). However, the ending portrays Raven to be in her mainstream outfit (red skin aside, Regime Raven has a different outfit than Mainstream Raven, notice the lack of SpikesOfVillainy on the shoulder), and the unleashing of Trigon is narrated as an accidental result/heavy price even for Raven, something that Regime Raven wouldn't consider 'accident/heavy price' but more like 'just as planned'[[/note]]
22* {{Blooper}}: In a cutscene, during a the final battle Prime!Aquaman is fighting Injustice!Hawkgirl, except the character model is for the Prime!Hawkgirl.
23* FlipFlopOfGod: After hinting on Twitter that [[http://twitpic.com/a1ivlm certain characters]] might join the roster, Ed Boon had mixed opinions on the inclusion of Aquaman. A portion of his feed is alternating between "of course" and "no way" before finishing with [[https://twitter.com/noobde/status/218393106213634048 this statement.]] ''Then'' he was confirmed as a character.
24* LyingCreator: Prior to the game's release, [=NetherRealm=] were adamant there would no GuestFighter in the game. Scorpion from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' was the third DLC character announced.
25* NoExportForYou: A partial example: The game ''was'' released in Japan on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 and UsefulNotes/WiiU, but not on the [[AmericansHateTingle unviable]] UsefulNotes/Xbox360.
26* NonDubbedGrunts: Alan Tudyk's grunts as Green Arrow are retained in the ''Arrow'' costume, where Stephen Amell voices Ollie's intro, outro and Clash quotes.
27* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/KharyPayton as Doomsday.
28* PreOrderBonus: Those who preordered at Gamestop got the Red Son pack, containing new outfits for Superman, Wonder Woman and Solomon Grundy, along with twenty missions set within the ''ComicBook/SupermanRedSon'' storyline, while those who preordered from UsefulNotes/WalMart got the [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]] pack, having costumes for Batman, Catwoman and Joker based off their appearances from the game.
29* PrequelInAnotherMedium: The comic book adaptation takes place before Superman's reign.
30* PropRecycling:
31** The inmates of Arkham Asylum (the Scarecrow, Killer Croc, the Penguin, Two-Face, and the Riddler) are modified versions of their models from the ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries Arkham Series]]''.
32** Green Lantern's fellow corps members in his victory cutscene look similar to their [[Film/GreenLantern2011 live-action film]] versions.
33** Darkseid's appearance is the same one from ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse''.
34*** Averted in the [=iOS=] version, where Darkseid gets a brand new design that's based upon his classic outfit, though with an armored look similar to his New 52 design.
35** Shao Kahn and Sub-Zero reuse their character models from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9''.
36* RealSongThemeTune: The ending credits theme is "Angel" by Music/DepecheMode.
37* RecycledScript: The plot is effectively the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E11And12ABetterWorld A Better World]]" with a healthy scoop of "[[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E12BraveNewMetropolis Brave New Metropolis]]" from ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' and a pinch of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'', set off by a mixture of ''ComicBook/TheKillingJoke'', ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', and ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''. To go into more depth:
38** ''The Killing Joke'': [[spoiler:The Joker sets out to drive one of Batman's allies to despair by targeting their family. Only this time he succeeds.]]
39** ''The Dark Knight'': [[spoiler:The Joker murders the lover of Batman's best friend and then gives said friend a BreakingSpeech that drives him to corruption.]]
40** ''Kingdom Come'': [[spoiler: The Joker causes the deaths of several people Superman loves, including Lois Lane, and Superman himself loses touch with humanity. The Joker's actions also lead to his own death.]]
41** "Brave New Metropolis": [[spoiler:Superman's descent into darkness starts with Lois Lane's death, and he is aided by Lex Luthor, who later attempts to kill Superman with Kryptonite.]]
42** "A Better World": [[spoiler:Superman's first victim is the villain who killed his close friend and taunted him about how his "[[ThouShaltNotKill no killing policy]]" would mean they'd get away with it. The rest of the Justice League follow Superman into becoming {{Fallen Hero}}es and Batman is the most reluctant to go with the whole KnightTemplar thing, with him helping the alternate universe heroes to take them down. Superman also plans an invasion of the heroic universe to enforce his own ideals. Also Joker is sill alive but lobotomized.]]
43** ''Crisis on Two Earths'': [[spoiler:A heroic Lex Luthor reaches out to the heroes of another universe to defeat a league of their {{evil counterpart}}s. The heroes are also aided by that universe's Slade Wilson.]]

51** Returning from ''Series/{{Arrow}}'': Stephen Amell (Green Arrow), with his likeness/costume from the series as an alternate outfit.
52** The Brazilian dub had most of the cast reprising their respective roles from the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. For characters like Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/GreenLantern, who had movies released a few years before the game, their movie dubbers reprise their roles. Some of which include:
53*** Creator/GuilhermeBriggs returning as Superman from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
54*** Luiz Feier Motta returning as Aquaman from the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' dub.
55*** Júlio Chaves coming back as ComicBook/GreenArrow, also from the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' dub.
56*** Manolo Rey voicing Nightwing, having previously done Dick Grayson's Robin in ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}''.
57*** Eduardo Borgeth and Mariana Torres reprising their roles as Cyborg and Raven from ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}''.
58*** Ettore Zuim returning as Batman from ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''.
59*** Philippe Maia returning as Green Lantern from the live-action movie ''Film/{{Green Lantern|2011}}''.
60** The French dub also has several voice actors reprising their roles from previous adaptations:
61*** From the DCAU: Jean-Claude Sachot as Bane[[note]]except in ''The New Batman Adventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMysteryOfTheBatwoman''[[/note]], Marie-Frédérique Habert as Wonder Woman, Creator/BorisRehlinger as Martian Manhunter, Michel Vigné as Green Lantern/John Stewart, and Agnès Manoury as Zatanna[[note]]''JLU'' only in the case of Zatanna[[/note]].
62*** From ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'': Daniel Lobé as Cyborg and Karine Foviau as Raven.
63*** From ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'': Creator/AdrienAntoine as Batman.

65*** From the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'': In addition to Batman and Bane, Valérie Siclay as Harley Quinn, Agnès Manoury as Catwoman, Frédéric Souterelle as Solomon Grundy, and Bruno Méyère as Nightwing/Dick Grayson.
66*** From ''Film/{{Green Lantern|2011}}'': Creator/PierreTessier as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan.
67* ThrowItIn: Harley's little "Puddin'" song after she accepts Main Universe!Joker wasn't scripted. [[https://twitter.com/domcianciolo/status/326828687146237953 Tara Strong started singing it whilst recording and they just happened to get it recorded]].
68* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
69** Regime!Superman could have been more ObviouslyEvil in design, potentially even having Zod's famous facial hair.
70** ComicBook/BlackCanary was potentially going to be included in the initial roster, at least, which would have made her the analogue to [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sindel]], gameplay-wise. She ended up being added in the [[VideoGame/Injustice2 sequel]].
71** Concept art indicates that John Stewart could have been used as Green Lantern instead of Hal Jordan. Stewart was eventually added to the game as an alternate skin, with Jordan being used in the game's story mode and the character's classic battle ending.
