* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt:
** {{Averted}} in the case of [[spoiler:Harley Quinn]]; most would assume that such a wildly popular and even beloved character would have some death immunity especially when their creator, who once rewrote an ending to keep them alive, is a key member of the show staff. [[spoiler:Turns out, this Harley's appearance here is based somewhat on the ''ComicBook/{{New 52}}'', and Bruce Timm has [[http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/06/08/bruce-timm-talks-and-the-first-episode-of-justice-league-gods-and-monsters-chronicles/ subtly hinted]] he's not too fond of [[{{Stripperific}} certain aspects]] of that redesign. Combining that with the idea that [[AnyoneCanDie beloved characters aren't necessarily safe]] and Harley Quinn becomes lunch]].
** Played straight, on the other hand, with Wonder Woman in her short when [[spoiler:she gets stomped on by Giganta]]. Of course they won't be killing her when the movie she is starring in hasn't even come out yet. Especially when she has been shown a few minutes ago to [[spoiler:have the ability to teleport with her sword]].

* BrokenBase: This project quickly became divisive and controversial. While many fans are glad to see Bruce Timm involved in a new animated movie and series again, many other fans despise the dark tone and premise of this new series, disappointed that this isn't a new Franchise/{{DCAU}} project, and are afraid about it. Though [[WinBackTheCrowd opinions generally became more positive]] after the last two episodes of ''Chronicles''.

Adding an example and moving another to a more fitting trope.


** Due to Kirk Langstrom's general [[NoSocialSkills lack of social skills]], [[TheStoic emotionless attitude]] and the fact [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation he was apparently always seen as a freak]], some fans have theorized he is subject to UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome.

Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler:Brainiac]] in ''Bomb'', who Superman finds out is a UnstablePoweredChild who's causing city-wide destruction by pure accident, clearly feeling guilty over it as he bursts into tears when informing Superman that he cannot stop himself. To make matters worse, being raised as a LaserGuidedTykeBomb in isolation has rendered him stunted to the extent that he doesn't even know who he is. Needless to say, [[spoiler:Superman wasn't the only one who felt sad over having to [[MercyKill put him down]]]].

Relationship Voice Actor is now a disambig.


** [[Creator/MichaelCHall Kirk]] and [[Creator/GreyDeLisle Tina]] would later [[RelationshipVoiceActor voice]] archenemies Toffee and Queen Moon in ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''. [[PortmanteauCoupleName Moontoffee]] was a popular CrackShip up until the Season 3 premiere and [[spoiler:Toffee would meet his end by disintegration, like Tina]].

* FanPreferredCouple: The majority of fanfics for this film have Kirk and Hernan as a couple, so it's clear that nobody was interested in Hernan's relationship with Bekka or Kirk's crush on Tina.

** Bekka[=/=]Wonder Woman was in a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage with Orion in an attempt to ensure peace between Apokolips and New Genesis, only for her own father to use this as an opportunity to stab Darkseid in the back, slaying him and all his council during the wedding, including Orion.

** ''Chronicles''' "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP2IERLzgCo Twisted]]" short: [[Characters/HarleyQuinnAndSupportingCharacters Harley Quinn]] stands in [[AdaptationalVillainy stark contrast]] to her mainstream portrayal. An [[AxCrazy utter psychopath]], Harley abducts civilians before mutilating and [[SerialKiller killing]] them, making "toys" out of their mangled corpses. When Batman rescues a teenage girl Harley kidnapped, she tries to kill them both. During their fight, Batman comes across a makeshift "family" of the people Harley has murdered, including [[WouldHurtAChild a young boy]].

** The Movie itself received praise from fans and critics alike for its great pacing, sympathetic main characters, excellent animation and surprisingly [[spoiler: giving Superman a character arc about recognizing the consequences of his violent actions and resolving to at least try to be a more traditional hero by the end.]] Many people who were pessimistic about the project or suspected it would be [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy overly dark for the sake of it]] were pleasantly surprised.
