Lois Lane

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lois_lane_3.png
The Daily Planet's top reporter and Superman's love interest.
  • Voice of the Resistance: During Brainiac's invasion she releases broadcasts to the rest of the city to keep survivor's informed of what is happening.

Voiced by: Keith Silverstein (Arkham Knight), Corey Burton (Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League)
Voiced By (It): ???

Founder of LexCorp and arch rival to Superman.


  • And Show It to You: How he meets his end, courtesy of The Flash.
  • The Cameo: His only appearance in Knight is as a voicemail to Bruce about buying Wayne Enterprises' Applied Sciences Division.
  • Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: His design seems to take a few cues from Elon Musk, particularly his stocky frame and downturned mouth.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive:
    • It's clear during his Arkham Knight cameo that he's trying to needle Bruce into selling Wayne Enterprises' Applied Science Division in a very predatory fashion and dialogue with the Militia revealed he helped to fund them as he has plans for Gotham. His voice sounds just as sinister and threatening as you would expect from Lex.
    • He further embodies this trope in Kill the Justice League. Not only does he execute his own employee to prevent him from giving ARGUS any Intel, recordings found at LexCorp shown he had considered using Brianiac's Mook Maker technology for its potential to create a "substitute workforce" once the invasion was over.
  • Fantastic Racism: Shares the prejudices against metahumans and aliens that other recent Luthors have. Militia members can be heard discussing how he's made it a policy position while running for President.
  • Let No Crisis Go to Waste: Was quick to begin devising methods of using Brainiac's technology, even as it wrecked havoc across the city.
  • Villain of Another Story: Seeing how Superman is canon to this continuity, Lex is presumably still the Man of Steel's arch-nemesis as always.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Earth-1's Lex is killed by the Flash, leaving Earth-2's Lex to provide aid to the Suicide Squad for the rest of their mission.

    Toyman 

Hiro Okamura / Toyman

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2024_02_02_at_15314_pm.png
Toyman in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Teen Genius, and super fan of the Justice League.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: While the original Toyman is a Knight Templar, this one is a kind (if naive) fan of the Justice League.
  • Asian and Nerdy: Is of Asian descent and on top of being a massive fan of superheroes, is a technical wizard.
  • Break the Cutie: When he's finally made aware of the fact his anti speed force tech helped kill Flash he breaks down. Though he does admit it was necessary.
  • Fan Boy: Is one for the Justice League and Superman in particular, so having to help Task Force X devise methods of eliminating them, really takes its toll on him.

    Spoiler Character For Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League 

Lex Luthor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2024_02_02_at_21956_pm.png
Luthor on Earth-2
Luthor on Earth- 1
Voiced by: Corey Burton (Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League)
Voiced By (It): ???
The Lex Luthor, and apparent sole survivor, of Earth-2.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: Downplayed, but implications from the last of the ARGUS tapes regarding the two Deadshots imply that this Lex is responsible for the Deadshot seen in Arkham Origins, Origins Blackgate, Assault On Arkham, and Arkham City being present in the reality of the Arkham games, which would make Lex tangentially responsible for minor aspects of those stories in which that Deadshot was present and contributed to. Additionally, the existence of Earth-2 Deadshot on Earth-1 led to a shootout between the two Deadshots that resulted in a number of civilian casualties, leading to Earth-1 Deadshots arrest and estrangement from his daughter.
  • Lean and Mean: Lacks a substantial amount of Earth-1 Lex's bulk, presumably due to malnutrition, but shares his counterpart's pension for smug superiority and duplicity.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Lex's files regard his Earth-1 counterpart as a vainglorious buffoon for his needless rivalry with Superman (one that Lex-2 didn't have with his own), for squandering his brilliance on tacky capitalist ventures instead of pure scientific advancement, and for not perfecting his power armor before its test run. Given that Lex-2's own description of himself unwittingly displays the same ego and savior complex, it's likely that Lex-1 secretly found him just as annoying.
  • Replacement Goldfish: He quickly moves to Earth-1 and assumes the life of the native Lex Luthor, who was killed by The Flash earlier in the story. Notably, after settling into Earth-1, he shaves his hair and beard to look near identical to the deceased Arkham Lex, the only noticeable difference being Earth-2 Lex still being emaciated from surviving in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Earth-2 for three years.
