YMMV / War for Earth-3

• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Everyone that isn't Amanda Waller spends much of the run either fighting each other in some way or lamenting over the sheer amount of schemes Waller is able to pull out of her butt carte blanche.
  • The Teen Titans leave Earth-3 almost as soon as they arrive, Amanda Waller managing to talk them into going home by taking some students (who have superpowers) hostage.
  • The Crime Syndicate deserves special mention for 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, Emerald Knight (who's re-named Power Ring here) is reduced to a hedonistic slob, Superwoman's solely defined by her need to one-up Ultraman, Owlman's recklessness paired with his supposed inability to use a computer was particularly grimaced upon by readers and Atomica doesn't even appear. The only proactive member of the team is Johnny Quick and after his fight with The Flash for the Cosmic Treadmill, he sidelines for the rest of the story.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The story doesn't try very hard to reinforce just how out of their depth the Squad and Titans are against Waller's machinations. Her smug demeanor only dips once when Ultraman tries to rebel, but even that is treated like part of the plan when 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 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 Big Bad so invincible that it's hard to really root for anyone.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While the Teen Titans wanting to protect their students (who to make clear also have superpowers) is somewhat understandable, abandoning an Earth in danger to notorious Rogue Agent Amanda Waller without even attempting to subvert her grip on them while trivializing Rick Flag's issues with Waller's going rogue as a "vendetta" means they effectively doomed countless people just because a bureaucrat told them to.
