* AdaptationalBadass: Dawnstar gets some impressive light powers to fill out her comics powerset, which was limited to tracking and flight. And while the the Time Trapper was always a major powerhouse, he's treated like a Lovecraftian horror here, a ShoutOut to the Paul Levitz/Keith Giffen Legion run, where he was in his Entropy Personified incarnation.

* ShoutOut:
** Cyborg almost says the usual "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz We're not in Kansas anymore]]" when he, Aquaman, and the Flash arrive in the actual Kansas during the pursuit against Solomon Grundy, Bizarro, Toyman, and Cheetah.
** When the Justice League return from being erased from the present to fight Time Trapper, he says "[[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi So be it, Justice League.]]" in a similar manner to [[Characters/StarWarsEmperorPalpatine another evil hooded figure]].

Added DiffLines:

* KnightOfCerebus: While the film itself is LighterAndSofter compared to other animated DC movies during this time era, Time Trapper is played as a completely monstrous, inhuman threat whose presence darkens the story. Other members of the Legion of Doom have their occasionally humorous or humanizing qualities but the Time Trapper is a HumanoidAbomination who has none and is played as a totally serious villain compared to the rest of them.


Added DiffLines:

* ManOfKryptonite: Or Woman of Kryptonite in Dawnstar's case. As the Time Trapper is totally made up of dark matter, Dawnstar's light powers are exactly what's needed to be able to seriously harm him and turn the tide of the battle.

* MistakenForBetrayal: Upon his return to the present, Lex Luthor assumes that Black Manta, Captain Cold, and Gorilla Grodd's failure to report back to the Hall of Doom is because they've turned their backs on him. In truth, they were just as loyal to him as the rest of the Legion; they simply weren't aware of his return and were still looking for him in the Arctic.
