11----
12!!The game provides examples of the following tropes:
13
14* BittersweetEnding: It's a ForegoneConclusion if you've watched season 2 of the animated series. [[spoiler:The Team successfully defeats Tiamat but Aquagirl sacrifices herself in the process. A grieving Aqualad leaves the Team and appoints Nightwing as the Leader.]]
15* BrokenPedestal: Aqualad lashes out at his king after learning that [[spoiler:the latter hid the fact that Black Manta is Aqualad's true father]].
16* DismantledMacGuffin: The Light's goal is to recover the fragments of the Tiamat statue that are scattered across the world. [[spoiler:It's the key to summon the beast itself.]]
17* DownloadableContent: Wonder Girl, Lagoon Boy, Bumblebee and Blue Beetle are playable DLC characters.
18* EscortMission: One mission revolves around protecting Green Lantern John Stewart and civilians while evacuating the crumbling museum.
19* HeroicSacrifice:
20** According to the Legend, the Mesopotamian hero Marduk gave his life to seal Tiamat away and protect humanity.
21** [[spoiler:Aquagirl sacrifices herself to destroy Tiamat for good.]]
22* InterfaceSpoiler: Played straight: the level selection spoils all five locations of the game at the very beginning. [[spoiler:Psimon's]] appearance as a boss is also spoiled as he appears on the picture of his level.
23* {{Interquel}}: The game takes place in the 5 year gap between seasons 1 and 2 of the show (January 1 2011 - January 1 2016), more specifically on February 16, 17 and 18 2015.
24* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: There are sometimes loadings in a single cutscene!
25* LukeIAmYourFather: Kaldur learns from Aquaman about his true parentage [[spoiler:Black Manta is his true father not Calvin Durhan.]]
26* NoSidepathsNoExplorationNoFreedom: There are a few secret zones behind obvious breakable walls but otherwise the game is just about following a linear path.
27* PutOnABus: Aqualad briefly mentions that Bumblebee and Lagoon Boy are on special assignment which is why they don't appear in the story.
28* RewatchBonus: Episode 7 of ''Young Justice: Outsiders'' reveals that the hero Marduk, Aquagirl's inspiration for sacrificing herself, was truly [[spoiler:series BigBad and the Light's very own immortal ContemporaryCaveman ''Vandal Savage'']]... begging the question, was Tula's death a SenselessSacrifice?
29* SealedEvilInACan: The alien weapon Tiamat was sealed in a Temple by the demi god Marduk.
30* TheUnreveal: Whatever Klarion (and by extension the Light) intended to do with Tiamat. He denies to Nightwing that he wants to use it to destroy the world but refuses to give further details.
