*CompleteMonster: [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid Darkseid]] is the ruler of [[Characters/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesApokolips Apokolips]]. After failing to conquer Earth thanks to the intervention of New Genesis, Darkseid respects his treaty with New Genesis despite his desire to torture Superman's friends, until the reveal that it was a distraction to build the [[InterstellarWeapon Armageddon Cannon]] and destroy New Genesis without warning. Contacting [[Characters/DCAULexLuthor Lex Luthor]] to buy a captured Livewire, Darkseid uses Livewire's powers to turn Apokolips's furnaces into fuel. Then, Darkseid orders a test of the Armageddon Cannon on Earth as revenge for their past resistance, with a chained [[Characters/DCAUSuperman Superman]] as the first victim. When a shocked Lex asks for explanations, Darkseid calls himself Life and Death and orders him to shut up and become his new general. After Superman and Livewire wreck the Armaggedon Cannon, Darkseid lets them return to Earth, expecting that the explosion of the supercharged Livewire would kill Superman and the people of Metropolis.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Livewire was never quite so universally reviled to be considered a [[TheScrappy Scrappy]], but her initial characterization on the animated series did very little to endear fans to her as much as Creator/BruceTimm hoped for like what happened with Harley Quinn. But with her receiving a redemption arc throughout the tie-in comic's run, as well as a more sympathetic origin and arc throughout the mainline comics, she gained more fan approval.

After the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E5And6OnlyADream Only a Dream]]" reveals that Superman's worst fear is losing control of his powers and killing the people he wants to protect...not so much.

* TearJerker:
** Ma and Pa Kent's fate in "Yesterday's Man of Tomorrow" -- left alone in their old age, never knowing what had become of their son. InUniverse, [[{{Jerk}} Mxyzptlk]] comments that it's "enough to pull tears from a glass eye."
** The ending of "Old Wounds." Everything (somehow...maybe [[AWizardDidIt Mxy did it]]?) reverts to normal, but Superman has been brutally reminded of what happened to his home planet and every living creature on it.

** In one short story, one of the scientists comments admiringly on how much help Professor Hamilton has given Superman. After their mutual BrokenPedestal in "Legacy" and Hamilton's FaceHeelTurn in ''Justice League'', it's much harsher.
