* DudeWheresMyRespect: In Part 2, it becomes increasingly clear that Kilg%re is not given much, if any respect by the Mastermind, basically being treated like a child. The revelation that said Mastermind was part of the reason he was trapped in the Virtual World alongside the League and Team RWBYJNPR [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal ends up giving him plenty of cause to turn against the Mastermind, dooming them both.]]

* LogicalWeakness: Because she gets her powers from her necklace, in ''Part 2'', when she tries to change to a different animal ability, the Grimm would spit slime at her necklace to prevent her from activating it.

Added DiffLines:

* LogicalWeakness: Because her sonic screams rely on her voice, the Grimm under the Mastermind's control have been programmed to try to strangle her with tentacles to keep her from using it. In the event that doesn't work, they cancel out her sound waves with sound attacks of their own.

* BloodKnight: Black Canary (along with Flash, [[ItsPersonal albeit for different reasons]]) is very eager to get into the fight against the Grimm, and thus is initially very disappointed at having to stay back at HQ to search for the universe Remnant is from. She's all too happy to get back into the fray when she's given the go ahead.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Watts in the canon series was certainly an arrogant genius, but his primary motivation was mainly due to a grudge against Ironwood for refusing to recognize his talents and [[GreenEyedMonster choosing Pietro's project over his]]. His personality in the ''Justice League x RWBY'' duology, by contrast, paints him as a grandiose egomaniac who viewed other people solely as stepping stones for his own grand vision of himself "remaking the world", something that he had never expressed any interest in doing. He's also much more willing to go into the fray and exposed himself the minute he had the means to do so, whereas in canon he tended to stay out of the way and worked from the shadows.

He's also much more willing to go into the fray and exposed himself the minute he had the means to do so, whereas in canon he tended to stay out of the way and worked from the shadows. Somewhat justified, as Team RWBY and Watts' own MotiveRant suggests he couldn't entertain the idea with Salem looming over him, too powerful for him to overthrow or control, and in the DC universe he can actually act on his own ambitions instead.



* AdaptationalVillainy: Watts is still a villain like his canon counterpart, but a number of his motives and past actions have been greatly altered. In canon, his actions were mainly in the background, using hacking as his main weapon, and his crimes tended to be more indirect, being behind the framing of Penny for a massacre and later infecting her with a virus. In the duology, he's labelled as the main reason for the Fall of Atlas, even though in canon that was due to Cinder, Ironwood and Salem's actions.

Added DiffLines:

* TheResenter: His MotiveRant during the FinalBattle and comments by Team RWBY imply he resents Salem, as she's too powerful for him to overthrow or deal with and thus standing between him and what he ''actually'' feels he should do.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Batman usually tends to reject the idea of gaining superpowers (even when offered) because of the idea that having powers will corrupt him. In Part 1, Bruce has the idea of staying in Remnant to keep his power, believing that could have do more with it. He even believes that he is TheLoad on his team when most versions of Batman stands proudly with his Justice League companions despite having no powers. This insecurity likely sterns from him being a teenager again and thus, having less confidence in himself, [[spoiler:which is part of the Kilg%re's plan]].

* {{Irony}}: Traditionally, yellow is the weakness of Green Lantern rings and is also connected to the Sinestro Corps, whose Power Rings are fueled by fear. In the movie, Jaune, a character themed around the same color, not only uses his Semblance to power up Jessica on more than one occasion, but also serves as a source of emotional strength and encourages her not to give into her fears.
