* NeverMyFault: Zigzagged. While he blames himself for not being able to prevent Superman's FaceHeelTurn, he staunchly denies that not killing the Joker makes him partially responsible for the destruction he caused to anyone who levels a MurderByInaction accusation at him, despite the fact that all he ever did to stop the insane clown was to have him locked up at [[CardboardPrison Arkham Asylum]], despite knowing there was virtually no way he could be redeemed there or imprisoned for good — or, as implied by his [[LameComeback failure to refute]] Damian's ArmorPiercingQuestion [[NotSoDifferent about whether he would have]] done the same thing as Supes did and taken the HeWhoFightsMonsters route if the Joker nuked Gotham instead of Metropolis, that he ''does'' agree with them on some level. And even the Joker himself opines that Batman's misplaced mercy makes him accountable for it, but he ''still'' won't accept it.

** PrinciplesZealot. He foolishly strictly adheres to GoodIsOldFashioned, despite the Regime's claims that after Metropolis, they must change their methods on crime. However, given how tyrannical and oppressive they became during their reign, Batman could definitely be seen as having the moral high ground.


Added DiffLines:

** Batman was initially unwilling to accept Hal Jordan's reform, but was more than willing to trust Harley Quinn. It cannot be forgotten that Harley Quinn followed Joker for years and aided him in destroying Metropolis by tricking Superman into killing a pregnant Lois Lane. She has a lot of blood on her hands, probably even just as much or even more than Hal Jordan, yet Batman was willing to accept her reform.


Added DiffLines:

* RealityEnsues: Batman's refusal to kill irredeemable villains for any reason and his arrogant and judgmental nature has led to other heroes calling him out.

In the prequel comic, the two share a kiss, confirming that their relationship was indeed romantic. In the game, few mentions are made to this, and Ivy treats Harley as more of an enemy. Harley even mentions that she and Ivy team up again and "drive all the boys crazy". Later, Ivy merely hypnotizes Harley with her pheromones, nearly killing her when she goes into shock.

The Green Arrow of the Injustice-verse died after an ill-advised decision to shoot Superman with an arrow backfired horribly when he accidentally wounded Pa Kent on the rebound. This Green Arrow, however, is from another universe, one in which he lost his wife, his fortune and his chance to be a superhero. Introduced to an alternate version of his wife who came with another him's baby in her arms, he enjoyed happiness for years until the threat of new parties forced Dr. Fate to bring him and Dinah to the Injustice-verse to help Batman face them. Having inherited all of his AlternateSelf's fortune and equipment, Oliver Queen once again takes to the field as Green Arrow, a champion of the common man as gods battle for the fate of the world.

** She's one to Wonder Woman. Both are experienced fighters who constantly put themselves on the line for what they believe in (freedom for Canary, the Regime's totalitarian control for Wonder Woman) and hold a grudge for those who they deem traitors. Even their first and last names sound similar (Diana, Dinah / Prince, Lance)! However whereas Dinah is shown to care for her teammates and the innocent victims involved in Brainiac's invasion, Diana has no problem in sacrificing either concept by justifying it as a sacrifice to the greater good. Most notably, Dinah is a seen as a [[BarBrawl barroom fighter]] with a {{Dark Is Not Evil}} theme, whereas the Amazon Princess is a much more traditionally trained warrior with a {{Light Is Not Good}} theme.

* NotSoSimilar: Claims to be NotSoDifferent from Wonder Woman. When Diana asked how much blood she had spilt, she admitted it was a lot, then added she was trying to impress the wrong guy and claims it's the same for Wonder Woman with Superman. Putting aside the blatant differences between the people they killed and why,[[note]]Harley and Joker killed innocent people [[ForTheEvulz because they thought it was funny]], Wonder Woman and Superman killed [[PayEvilUntoEvil mostly criminals and supervillains]] [[WithUsOrAgainstUs as well as some good people who opposed them]] [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans for the greater good]][[/note]] Superman has generally treated Wonder Woman with respect, even if [[AllLoveIsUnrequited he didn't return her affections]], and made strong arguments for his cause, whereas the Joker was never a good man and Harley only believed otherwise because she was [[NaiveNewcomer young and gullible]] when she first met him. While the general point (Wonder Woman committed horrific crimes to please someone) the comparison is still flimsy.
