** The Crime Syndicate deserves special mention for [[AdaptationalWimp how incompetent they've been made to be compared to past stories]], many of them taking cues from their New 52 counterparts without any of the ability that made them legitimate threats in older stories; making them more plot device than dangerous foes. Ultraman is portrayed as too amoral to do anything, Power Ring is [[{{Flanderization}} reduced to a hedonistic slob]], Superwoman's solely defined by her need to one-up Ultraman, Owlman's recklessness paired with his [[spoiler: supposed inability to use a computer]] was particularly grimaced upon and [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Atomica doesn't even appear]]. The only proactive member of the team is Johnny Quick and after [[spoiler: his fight with The Flash for the Cosmic Treadmill]], he sidelines for the rest of the story.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: The story doesn't try very hard to [[InvincibleVillain reinforce just how out of their depth the Squad and Titans are against Waller's machinations]]. Her smug demeanor only dips once when [[spoiler: Ultraman tries to rebel]], but even ''that'' is treated like part of the plan when [[spoiler: she imprisons him]]. The Squad and the Titans aren't much better, waxing prose about what a situation they're in without really trying to go off their beaten paths and pettily one-upping each other instead of uniting - and that ignores the [[BaitAndSwitch sheer amount of twists that cut off anything the Squad attempts to do]]. The story's so unpredictable, the characters so indecisive and fight-happy and its BigBad [[InvincibleVillain so invincible]] that it's hard to really root for anyone.
