History YMMV / SupermanBatmanApocalypse

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks[=/=]WhatTheHellCastingAgency: There was a large uproar when Creator/MichaelIronside was replaced by Creator/AndreBraugher as ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, a role Michael had played in both ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', especially in light of the fact that Creator/TimDaly, Creator/KevinConroy, Creator/SusanEisenberg, and Creator/EdwardAsner were reprising the roles of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Granny Goodness. Likewise, though Creator/SummerGlau was almost universally well received when she was announced as ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, there were still several requests from fans for Creator/NicholleTom to return to the role that she had also played during the DCAU.

* EvilIsSexy: The female Furies, but Kara especially during her brief stint as their leader.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Plenty of characters just watch the movie for ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}. This version of her is second only to her DCAU portrayal in popularity, at least as far as animated versions of the character go. Said fans are generally satisfied in that area even if they don't like Batman's behavior, [[TheOtherDarrin Darkseid's new voice actor]] or other elements of the film.

* {{Narm}}:
-->'''Kara:''' I sensed your [Batman's] presence earlier because I thought I heard your heartbeat. I was wrong. ''You have no heart.''

* MagnificentBastard: [[Characters/BatmanTheCharacter Batman]] himself, while more ruthless than usual, remains just as cunning as ever. After managing to subdue ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} herself with Kryptonite, Batman goes behind Clark's back to bring Wonder Woman into the fold, encouraging Kara to train on Paradise Island instead. When ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} attacks, Batman realizes only a moment too late that the attack was a diversion, realizing that Darkseid wants Kara for his own army. When the trio make their way to Apokolips to bring her back, Batman confronts Darkseid himself head-on, revealing that he has armed the hellspores in his armory and that he will detonate all of them, [[GodzillaThreshold destroying Apokolips in the process]], if he doesn't promise to never attack Supergirl again. Shocked at his [[PragmaticHero pragmatism]], Darkseid agrees, and the trio return to Earth successful.

* InferredHolocaust: Wonder Woman and Harbinger ambush Kara and Franchise/{{Superman}} in a park to demonstrate the risks of leaving her in the city without proper training, highlighting her [[PowerIncontinence inability to control her powers]] and the massive collateral damage that results. She points out that if this attack had happened in daylight, with people in the park, there could have been countless innocent casualties when Kara lost control of her [[EyeBeams heat vision]]. Nobody seems to notice that her beams do not stop after twenty feet: the eye beams that missed the local statues and furniture will keep going ''until they hit something'' (or dissipate after a couple ''miles''). Given that this is a major metropolitan area, the odds are very good that Kara just directly vaporized a person, or demolished a building. More immediate to the discussion is that, since Kara and Superman were walking in the park as simple tourists, it is obviously not empty just because it is night. (And you know Clark wouldn't have had her out very late.) Though fewer in number than during the day, there would still plenty of people in the immediate area to be killed during this "demonstration."

* RetroactiveRecognition: Darkseid’s new voice sounds a lot like [[Creator/AndreBraugher Capt. Raymond]] [[Series/BrooklynNineNine Holt.......]]

** [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/048/933/a9b Darkseid grapping Superman's cape]] has become a popular reaction image.

* MemeticMutation: Superman's [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/handsome-face oddly beautiful and detailed face]] has made a bit of a splash.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Batman breaking his one rule to stop Darkseid from using a kryptonian as enforcer was a bluff. Right? There is a lot that could speak for or against the bluff.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** When Superman and Kara are battling on Apokolips, Superman begins to exposit about how Darkseid is controlling her. However, as his speech goes on he becomes less calm and more...[[SanitySlippage enthused]]. [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness Now he sees the truth, that she can not be reasoned with]]. His speech becomes more manic as he speaks, and it suddenly seems all too possible that Darkseid never did brainwash Kara at all, and it is ''Superman'' who forces her to change loyalty after he has knocked her out. The fact that nothing is ever shown of Darkseid's supposed brainwashing, and Kara does not recant her loyalty to Darkseid until she has already been brought back to Earth, seems to lend credence to this theory.
** [[MoreThanMindControl Alternately, Kara was still never brainwashed, she did agree with Darkseid]], until back on Earth she realized that even if she agreed to go back and be a Fury again, he would still kill her. That's why she opted to stay on Earth. Next to being a conqueror for Darkseid, there's nowhere in the universe she could get better training and respect than on a world filled with Super-heroes.
** However, she looked pretty darn terrified when Darkseid made the offer, and Barda (who has first hand experience) seems to think he did.

* TheWoobie: Kara. First she watches her parents die, then she's trapped in an unfamiliar environment, forcibly got kidnaped, is treated like a child, kidnapped ''again'', brainwashed into being an evil assassin and leader of an army of super hot warrior assassins, is forced to attack her cousin while being brainwashed... seriously the girl goes through so much.
