* {{GameBreaker}}: More like a Gameplay ''Mechanic'' Breaker, the Oracle-Bot Ally's passive ability Tinker restores five points of durability on your most damaged piece of equipped gear every five seconds (fifteen points when Oracle-Bot is fully upgraded.) Heroes get Oracle-Bot for free after finishing the level twenty mission "Call For Allies" while Villains can buy it from Cyborg in the House of Legends for twenty Source Marks and Cyborg also sells the Alliance items for the upgrade, so it's relatively easy to never have to worry about repairing your character's gear again. True, repairing gear manually is only a mild inconvenience at first, but once your gear's combat rating gets higher (and requires more money to repair) you'll end up saving up thousands of dollars that can be spent on the Exchange or literally everything ''but'' repairs and that's on top of the usefulness of not having to use repair vendors during missions or raids.

* RetroactiveRecognition: PortingDisaster:
** The game has one egregious issue on Windows: If you're planning to play the game with a gamepad, you'd better have an Xbox 360 controller. Have anything else (like one of those cheap USB [=DualShock=] 2-controller look-alikes or even a [=PlayStation=] 2-to-USB controller adapter?) You may find that the camera is stuck looking up, because the right nub is handled differently from Xbox 360 controllers on these controllers. No thanks to the fact that the game does not provide a way to remap controller buttons and axes.
** You can still work around that problem with a 360 controller emulator, although since this is an online game it might be seen as a cheating tool. But then you consider the fact that the only other platform the game came out for is the [=PlayStation=] 3, whose controller is similar to the [=DualShock=] 2 save for the L2 and R2 buttons being [[PressureSensitiveInterface pressure-sensitive triggers]]. Also, if they see gamepads as a cheating tool, wouldn't it be a better idea to not allow gamepads at all (and while at it, force the players of the [=PS3=] version of the game to use a USB mouse and keyboard too?)
** A later version of the game attempted to fix this issue. The good news is, these controllers are treated like the [=DualShock=] controllers they are and the screen no longer sticks to the floor looking up anymore. The bad news is, it has a minor glitch that fails to read the right nub correctly-- the camera now pans in a spiral motion due to being still reliant on [=XInput=] and thus not able to see the axis properly. This is fine if your character doesn't have the power of flight. Otherwise, you'll find yourself returning to the mouse and keyboard pretty often.
** And this was also the case with numerous other games, too, as they now make use of the [=XInput=] [[UsefulNotes/ApplicationProgrammingInterface API]]. Especially the ones released alongside the Xbox 360 versions.

** The NoobCave introduction level aboard the Brainiac Harvester Ship was originally a solo tutorial where your character is all on his own with nothing but either Oracle or Calculator in their ear guiding them through objectives. It was later revamped so the player character is now merely playing tagalong to either Superman or Lex Luthor who are present for the entire level, along with a few other heroes or villains at certain parts.

* CompleteMonster (''Legends''): [[Characters/SupermanBrainiac Brainiac]] is as {{narcissist}}ic and destructive as always. Having already conquered and destroyed the Earth in the [[BadFuture future timeline]], alongside thousands of other planets, the present Brainiac [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduces himself]] by destroying the Watchtower and intending for the debris to crash into Metropolis, almost killing one million people. While helping [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]] with his vendetta against Superman, he ultimately forces Superman to murder his own wife Lois before trying to dissect him, attempting to create an army of Supermen. Briefly held back by the Justice League, Brainiac massacres the Sinestro Corps and steals their central power battery to recharge himself; unleashes his army of enslaved aliens onto Earth to wipe out humanity; forces Lex to attack and kill the heroes with his own armor just to torment his former ally; and massacres his own allies when he believes he has the upper hand.

* MagnificentBastard: (''Legends''): [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]], after abandoning his xenophobic ways, proves to be just as an effective hero as a villain without losing his [[PragmaticHero ruthless edge]]. After joining the Justice League yet being framed by [[Characters/SupermanBrainiac Brainiac]], Lex recruits his former villainous allies to his cause, realizing the heroes will refuse to cross that line. After helping Future Batman defeat his present self, Lex then coordinates with his own future self to defeat Brainiac, intending to cause a time paradox to stop him. Leading the Justice League as well as the new heroes and villains, Lex not only [[EnemyMine convinces Clark to work with him]], but tricks Brainiac into massacring his own allies to give them an edge, even proving worthy of Hal's ring in the process. With Brainiac's allies gone, Lex and his future self work together to successfully reset the timeline to before Brainiac's invasion, even when he knows that [[HeroicSacrifice he must return to a life he's now ashamed of]] for the sake of the universe.

* WinBackTheCrowd: By the end of "Deluge", quite a few players are sick of Starro, and both the "Sea of Love" Valentine's event and the "Tides of War" summer event also adds to the Atlantis fatigue. This leads to players being sceptical of the "Atlantis" episode, with some seeing it as a cash-grab tie in with the ''Film/Aquaman2018'' film. However, not only does it have nothing to do with the film (adapting from Aquaman: Rebirth instead) and minimal Starro presence, it's an epic WhamEpisode that is generally well received and considered the best since the conclusion of "Amazon Fury".
