* AchillesHeel: Despite AMAZO being hands down the most powerful character in the setting ("The Return" shows him handily defeating the League, Green Lantern Corps and entering Atom's microscopic realm), it appears the one limitation is that chaos magic can feed on his power. He teleports away to devise a solution, and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse never reappears in the show]].
* AntiMagic: Hawkgirl's Nth Metal mace is again used to deal with a magic-related problem (while AMAZO was shown to be able to copy the mace in the past, the chaos magic that reanimated Grundy was feeding off AMAZO like a leech and he was forced to retreat).

* TheReveal: At the end of [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E24To26Starcrossed Starcrossed]], Hawkgirl left before the justice League could reveal their decision, wishing to spare her teammates the turmoil of dealing with a traitor. Here it is revealed, both to her and the general public (as well as the audience), that she was never dismissed from the League and can return anytime she likes. It's further revealed Green Lantern recused himself from voting because of his personal attachment, with two votes for Shayera staying (likely Flash and J'onn [[note]]they were both shown to take her side during the League's debate[[/note]]) and two against (likely Wonder Woman and Batman [[note]]Diana argued against Shayera rejoining and is still bitter after she rejoins the League. Process of elimination leaves Batman as the other "no" vote, which also fits his generally distrusting nature[[/note]]). Superman broke the tie in Shayera's favor.

* EasilyForgiven: Downplayed. The League welcome Shayera back into the fold (mostly) without a second thought. Specifically, John is mentioned as having recused himself from the vote at the end of "Starcrossed" and Superman broke the tie. However, not ''everyone'' forgives her for her part in the Thanagarian invasion.

Superman's forgiveness of Shayera and his support also makes sense beyond just his characteristic optimism and idealism. More than any of the other founding Leaguers, Clark knows ''exactly'' what Shayera is going through. He's walked this exact same path after "Legacy" and what Darkseid did to his reputation.
