* ArtifactOfDoom: The Amulet of the Lords of Chaos. Buried in Egypt, it was found by Hawkman and Hawkgirl in 1942, picked up by a man named Strasser, and used to help the Nazis slaughter Allied troops in [=WW2=]. The Justice Society buried it at the bottom of the ocean... and then Joker finds out about it.
* BadassNormal: Wildcat, as always. He has no superpowers, only a mean right hook, and he beats up Batman and the Flash.



* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover for issue 1 as seen above is a bit of a lie. There's no full-on Justice League vs. Justice Society brawl, and while some of the heroes do duke it out, the Black Canaries aren't among them. Also, Golden Age Black Canary never wears her costume, sticking instead to civvies.



* HappilyMarried: Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy get married during the story and seem happy together, though it doesn't last long.

* HowDoIShotWeb: The Joker may control the minds of some of the JSA, but he doesn't have the details of their power. Sadly, this just makes his rampages worse, as he uses Jay's super-speed to splatter people once he learns he can, and nearly kills Alan because he didn't know Alan's powers have a time limit.

* ShootingSuperman: Joker's attempt on Amazing Man's life fails because Will reacts quick enough to use his powers to turn himself metal, no selling the bullet.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: As a MythologyGag to the famous panel in ''ComicBook/BatmanAndCaptainAmerica'' where Joker states even he despises Nazism to the Red Skull, this Joker excitedly wants to get to the part where Nazis are killed when listening to Andre Chavard's story. When Andre confusedly states he thought Joker would like Nazis, Joker responds with "[[BigWhat WHAT?!]] I'm American! I [[SymbolSwearing @#S%#$@]] ''hate'' Nazis! I'm a homicidal maniac, not a traitorous bigot." Though considering that in the near future he's going to slaughter millions with glee and would have committed even worse atrocities if Superman didn't kill him, he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.
