* FailureHero: [[spoiler:Ollie and Hal's desire to "do more" ends with them doing nothing that makes a difference, with the irony being Red Arrow probably wouldn't have lost his arm if they hadn't unwittingly given Prometheus access to the Hall of Justice.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ShaggyDogStory: Green Arrow and Green Lantern make a big deal about how heroes need to be doing more, and eventually split off from the Justice League to form their own group able to do things the main team can't, or won't, do. [[spoiler:Their team accomplishes nothing in the end, and only served to give Prometheus the opening he needed into the Hall of Justice by having his villains overwhelm the splinter group before convincing them as "Shazam" that they needed help from the main Justice League. It's even pointed out how Hal and Ollie made such a big deal about doing their own thing, then came back to the Hall asking for help when their methods weren't working.]]

Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Green Arrow and Hal Jordan's desire to stop waiting for villains to act and be more "proactive" only ends horribly for them and those involved with their crusade. All it does is [[spoiler:grant Prometheus an opening to get to the Hall of Justice by impersonating Freddy Freeman and convincing the group they need to reconvene with the main Justice League in order to better figure out the villains' goals. Which then leads to Red Arrow losing an arm and his life spiraling down the drain from there as Prometheus makes fools of everyone]].

* VillainsActHeroesReact: The theme of the series is its protagonists refusal to accept this doctrine, as Hal Jordan and Green Arrow initially leave the League because they are tired of simply waiting around for a villain to commit a crime and then cleaning up the aftermath. [[ConceptsAreCheap At no point do they propose a course of action that might somehow prevent crime from being committed in the first place]].

You Keep Using That Word was redefined by TRS to be about characters correcting each other's word usage.


* YouKeepUsingThatWord: The term "justice" is used quite often, usually to refer to an action or concept that is ''not'' justice, instead often matching the concepts of vengeance and punishment instead.

In short, all the pain and torture everyone committed in the name of justice was AllForNothing.
