* The Oracle-Bot and Calculator-Bot's support abilities are automatically repairing damaged gear and periodically reducing damage respectively and this perfectly reflects the [[RedOniBlueOni personalities]] of the two [[MissionControl Mission Controls]]: Oracle is the more strategic and patient of the two and would want to keep the PlayerCharacter alive in the long term not just because of their usefulness to the Justice League, but because she's the heroic one and genuinely likes your character; Calculator has a VillainousFriendship with the Villain PC, but he's also prone to [[DidNotThinkThisThrough acting rashly and supporting world-ending plots]] or [[TheStarscream trying to take control when he thinks he can]], so his Ally bot is focused on keeping the player alive in the short term through damage protection (and it's a bit of WMG, but it would be perfectly in character for Calculator to be getting kickbacks from the repair vendors the Villain PC uses after getting their gear damaged on the missions ''Calculator'' sends them on.) Ironically or not, using both as supports works pretty well despite their personal enmity, Oracle-Bot makes sure all your gear is unbroken and gives you full stats while Calculator-Bot reduces the overall damage you take.

* In "Earth 3," Jim Gordon is the corrupted mayor of Gotham City rather than a mob boss as he was in the comics/Antimatter universe. Then you remember there have been some plots where the mobsters and other villains attempt to become mayor only to be thwarted in the end. Because this is Earth three where "[[TheBadGuyWins Evil always wins]]," this is one of the few occasions where the villain ''succeeds''.

* In the last part of BossFight with Doctor Psycho, he proclaims that all the heroes will one day be his slaves, and then he proceeds to create illusions of a couple of them, specifically ComicBook/WonderWoman, ComicBook/PowerGirl, and ComicBook/SuperGirl. The [[SexSlave implications]] are not friendly to say the least.

* Who is the the Mysterious Benefactor that hired Abra Kadabra to RetGone ComicBook/TheFlash? [[spoiler:Future[=!=]Luthor.]] Also [[{{foreshadowing}} foreshadows]] [[spoiler:the ''Origin Crisis'' story line.]]

* As you go through the game, you encounter villains whose powers are based on fear, like Scarecrow and Sinestro, but hero player characters are either not effected at all or effected to a drastically lesser degree than even DC's signature heroes. Well, take a moment and analyze your character's last memory as of the start of the tutorial. The last thing you remembered at the start of the game was [[PowerIncontinence suddenly having superpowers you didn't know how to control]], and then being sucked up into a Brainiac, processed like cattle, and put in a pod to be experimented on. It's not clear when you lost consciousness during the ordeal, but it's fair to say that what you were awake for was [[NightmareFuel nothing short of a living nightmare.]] After you escape Brainiac's ship, you have nothing to fear anymore, because now you know you can fight back against the DC Universe's worst nightmares ''and win.''

** [[spoiler: Per the comics the Bones of the Hawks on Zameron are the originals, the (living) ones we see in game are latter re-incarnations. But if the Hawkgirl you fight is the current one she wasn't killed but possessed by the Black Lantern Rings, this is shown to happen to Lyssa Drak and Hank Henshaw in the Blackest Day Raid, and in Lyssa's case we actually SEE the possession happen on screen- Which is STILL Nightmare Inducing...]]

* In the "Corrupted Zameron" Duo Mission, Indigo-1 Mentions [[spoiler:Hawkman and Hawkgirl's bones being together in an embrace, with Black Lantern[=!=]Hawkgirl appearing as the final boss.]] Considering that [[spoiler:they]] had appeared much earlier within the game, [[spoiler:it is likely they were KilledOffscreen between story lines]].

** All the pre-order copies have different bonus items depending on where you bought them. Three guesses what the item for Amazon.com pre-orders is, and the first two don't count.
** A lot of the "briefings" and whatnot you can discover throughout the game have snippets from something called "Daily Planet Live", with Lois Lane giving a news report. Why would the Daily Planet be giving a live show? Well, the New York Times and Washington Post got their start as newspapers but have had to diversify in the last decade in order to stay in business with newspaper revenue going ever downward! Of course the Daily Planet would have to branch into other forms of media, too, if it's going to survive in the Internet era!
*** Plus, the Daily Planet is currently Bottled, so it's not like they could really get access to their presses at this point in time.
** Why did the Arkham villains decide to [[spoiler:capture The Joker?]] Remember [[spoiler:how you betrayed Mr. Freeze and stole the diamonds for The Joker while leaving him to be sent to Arkham? Remember his alluding to him having his revenge?]]
