* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]] ends up becoming the [[PresidentEvil president of the United States]] after an economic recession. Luthor then orders Major Force to kill Metallo and use his death to frame Superman as a psychopath, despite Metallo's loyalties to him. Failing to stop a kryptonite meteor from impacting the planet, Luthor [[VillainousBreakdown snaps]] and decides he's going to allow the meteor to crash, risking the lives of billions so he can [[InTheirOwnImage rebuild a "new Earth"]] with him as its ruler. Luthor repeatedly attempts to stop the heroes from trying to destroy the meteorite, purely out of spite that [[ItsAllAboutMe he wasn't the one that saved the planet]] and his megalomania.
* FauxSymbolism:
** In the smackdown beneath Toyman's rocket.
---> '''Luthor:''' You come to this planet, declare yourself the savior of mankind...well, I think it's time you ''died for your sins!''
** The number of days it'll take for the meteor to hit Earth: seven days.

%% Don't use HilariousInHindsight or HarsherInHindsight to add Lex Luthor's presidency comparing it with any real-life president, especially THAT one. You know who.

* HoYay: You can read a good deal between Batman and Superman.
* JustHereForGodzilla: Quite a few fans watch this just for the reunion of DCAU voice actors including Creator/TimDaly as Superman, Creator/KevinConroy as Batman, Creator/ClancyBrown as Lex Luthor, and Creator/CCHPounder as Amanda Waller.
* NightmareFuel:
** [[spoiler: Metallo's horribly-burned body. Also the sight of a very 'roided-up Luthor could also be unsettling]].
** If you've read the storyline the movie's based on, [[spoiler: you can see how insane Luthor has become if he let the meteor hit.]]
* QuestionableCasting: Many fans were annoyed with the casting of Creator/LeVarBurton as Black Lightning--mostly due to the feeling that they wasted him for what ultimately amounted to be one line in the finished movie rather than the actual casting itself.
* SoOkayItsAverage: The main consensus about the movie itself.
* {{Squick}}: Honestly, did we ''really'' need to see Lex Luthor kissing Amanda Waller?
