That's not Genre Savvy, that's "being a good detective."


* GenreSavvy: Bruce, naturally. As soon as he realizes they're in a detective murder mystery and that they are all potential suspects, he advises the others to find any evidence that could eliminate them from having a motive (as all of them start the mystery with having an opportunity). Unfortunately, it turns out that ''all'' of them have viable motives, direct and indirect, to kill Mari.

Added DiffLines:

* KillTheCreditor: Wally's motive to kill Mari, albeit an indirect one--J'onn, as a [[MorallyBankruptBanker larcenous accountant]], had loaned Wally money that was skimmed from Mari's accounts, but Wally couldn't pay the loan back. The theory is that he may have killed Mari as a way to get the loan forgiven.

Hottip cleanup.


* AlternateUniverse: Invoked in-universe with the magic book--the setting of the story takes place in a crime-noir world where the heroes don't have their superpowers and everyone they know is in a completely different role from canon. For example, Wally West becomes a rather seedy detective in the mold of Sam Spade, John Stewart (Lantern) is a rich socialite, J'onn J'onzz is a shady accountant, and Bruce Wayne is a movie producer and a ''genuine'' playboy. However, certain characters' book counterparts don't share the same name, such as Carter Hall being named Joe Gardner in the story (which gets Shayera into trouble when she repeatedly calls him Carter). [[hottip:*:In [=DCAU=] canon, Carter Hall's birth name [[ContinuityNod was in fact Joseph Gardner, before he changed it]].
