* OlderThanTheyThink: Some comic book news websites made a big deal about the ''Young Justice'' book introducing Mxyzptlk's offspring as the main antagonist. However, the same twist has been done before in ''ComicBook/ActionComicsNew52'', where the central villain, Vyndktvx, is later revealed to be Mxyzptlk's son (as well as his brother, due to time in the Fifth Dimension behaving in a cyclical manner).

* SpiritualAntithesis: To ComicBook/HeroesInCrisis in terms of how they treat C-List DC characters.
* WinBackTheCrowd: While initially responses to the event's announcement were mixed, upon release the reception has generally been very good, with many praising the crossover's focus and reparation for characters that have spent years being mistreated and shunted aside, solid CharacterDevelopment, unintrusiveness towards other books, and a good story that [[ArcWelding finally repairs DC's tangled continuity]]. Initially feared as yet another unwanted CrisisCrossover, fans have generally instead seen the story as proof that ''Infinite Frontier'' has well and truly saved DC from its decades-long string of [[AudienceAlienatingEra being in-and-out of dork ages]] under Creator/DanDiDio.

However, once [[spoiler: the Darkness-infections of Pariah and then Deathstroke]] are dealt with, the assembled villains just seemingly leave without further incident with the exception of [[spoiler: Doomsday being beaten by the two reunited Supermen]].

** A number of fans called Black Adam being the SoleSurvivor of the Justice League's TotalPartyKill, thanks in part due to [[Film/BlackAdam2022 the character having a film adaptation later that year]] and because he had only recently joined the team.
** After it was confirmed that a major hero would be the SacrificialLion for the events opening, many guessed to it being [[spoiler:Beast Boy, as Deathstroke was targeting Teen Titans Academy, and Gar had long being the most expendable member of the original Wolfman/Perez team.]] Come Issue 1, this was proven to be correct.

** Issue 1 features a variant cover by Creator/JimLee, which is a recreation of ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' #1's cover, but with various DC live-action properties, including ''Film/{{The Batman|2022}}'', ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'', ''Film/TheFlash2023'', ''Film/BlackAdam2022'', ''Film/AquamanAndTheLostKingdom'', ''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'', ''Series/{{Stargirl|2020}}'', ''Series/{{Peacemaker}}'', ''Series/{{Doom Patrol|2019}}'', ''Series/{{Naomi|2022}}'', and various ''Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'' productions like ''Series/TheFlash2014'', ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', ''Series/{{Batwoman|2019}}'', and ''Series/SupermanAndLois''. The same week the cover was unveiled, it was announced that ''Legends of Tomorrow'', ''Batwoman'', and ''Naomi'' were all being cancelled, which came on the heels of a report that the new owners of Creator/WarnerBrothers were possibly seeking to phase out the ''Arrowverse'' in favor of a stronger emphasis on the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse''. Subsequently, not only were more shows cancelled (including ''Stargirl'', ''Titans'', ''Doom Patrol'' and the remaining ''Arrowverse'' series), but it was later announced that the DCEU itself would be undergoing a ContinuityReboot under Creator/JamesGunn and the newly established Creator/DCStudios, meaning that even some of the cinematic characters like Supergirl and the Creator/MichaelKeaton version of Batman featured on the cover would also most likely be phased out after the release of the ''Flash'' movie.

** Similarly, the event was clearly part of the company-wide push for Black Adam ahead of his movie debut, with the character being the only member of the Justice League to "survive" the initial onslaught and subsequently playing a key role in the finale. With the subsequent failure of the ''Film/BlackAdam'' movie, some fans and critics have commented that Adam's bizarre prominence in ''Dark Crisis'' makes the series an UnintentionalPeriodPiece.

Removing use of a term that could fall by the wayside in later years and is as often used as an insult as a positive. (I do not personally think it is, but it leaves a bad taste overall.)


* DontShootTheMessage: ''Dark Crisis: Young Justice'' makes a big point about how fans shouldn't let nostalgia blind them to negative aspects about older works, and that they should embrace more diverse characters when they're introduced. Nobody would disagree with that, however what undermines this point is using ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' as an example, as the book is generally considered to have been very ahead of its time and still holds up today when it comes to progressive issues, and that the Young Justice fandom as a whole tends to lean left and be in favour of "woke" comics. Combined with the miniseries itself being met with criticism for how it writes Cassie and Cissie coming off as deeply sexist, and the handling of Tim's bisexuality being seen as problematic by bisexual readers, it greatly undermines the message it's claiming to push. It's not helped either by using a toxic StrawFan as the BigBad, which is seen as mean-spirited at best and is generally not a popular way to preach messages like this even when they ''do'' have a point.

* CriticalDissonance: Professional reviewers gave the core series fairly positive reviews, with particular praise for the artwork and the fact it allowed the {{Legacy Character}}s to have some much needed spotlight. However, the majority of fans had a mixed-to-negative response to the event, as the general consensus is that there were severe pacing problems that led to the plot being rather dull and uneventful, especially when compared to DC's previous {{Crisis Crossover}}s.
