* Barry's first attempt to get his powers back by recreating the experiment and zapping himself with lightning. It goes about as well as it would in [[RealityEnsues real life]]. Afterwards we see Barry with all of his skin charred off and in considerable pain as Batman nurses him back to health. He eventually gets it to work and gets his skin back, but the whole ordeal is enough to make you cringe at what Barry must be feeling physically.

* Seeing the [[RealityEnsues bloody results]] of when superhumans simply do not hold back when fighting each other, even the heroes. This occurs most starkly with the normally pacifist Kal-El, who incinerates a battalion of soldiers ([[PowerIncontinence though that one was an accident]]) and removes Aquaman's arm.

Good Adultery Bad Adultery requires two affairs, one portrayed as better than the other


** Special mention goes to Diana [[DecapitationPresentation beheading]] Arthur's wife. [[TheMistress Diana]] was having an ''[[GoodAdulteryBadAdultery affair]]'' with Arthur, and when his wife, in her heartbreak, dared to confront Diana on it... [[MurderTheHypotenuse Yeah]].

* Professor Zoom is nightmare fuel incarnate in this film. Firstly, his appearance is menacing with pale skin and [[RedEyesTakeWarning red pupils]] in black eyes to his [[SoftSpokenSadist soft, ominous tone]]. He's also pretty willing to destroy himself along with The Flash if it means he'll perish. Then there's how he'll allow the world to be utterly destroyed, just so The Flash will be miserable and suffer throughout every final moment. In his last scene, he also brutally manhandles the Flash on a ledge (which reminds one of the island scene in ''Film/SupermanReturns'' - only much more violent).

* Diana, in general. She's so bloodthirsty she's not even herself. She takes pleasure in killing trespassers, unflinchingly guts children and has no problems knowing that's she's destroying the world. She literally lives in a hell-scape and honestly believes she's going to purify the Earth of all men and make it a better place. Yet, she has no problems with the females getting killed in the crossfire as well.

* Aquaman himself can be quite frightening. In stark contrast to his personality in the main timeline, he's an [[TheUnfettered utterly ruthless]], [[RevengeBeforeReason revenge-obsessed]] EvilOverlord with no regard for human life. To clarify, this is a guy who [[ApocalypseHow sank all of Western Europe into the ocean]], [[MoralEventHorizon killing]] [[MoralEventHorizon '''over 100 million people''']], all for the sake of destroying the Amazons.

** [[spoiler: Grifter]] gets shot full of Amazonian arrows, with the last going through his head.

Those shocked, fearful eyes are haunting, and even worse, the other [[spoiler: kids,]] who were likely like siblings to him considering their powers, had to watch.
