Line 1:

* [[Complete Monster]]
** Speaking of [[Darkseid]], he deserves special mention as he continues his legacy as perhaps the biggest monster in the entire DCAU. One of the few villains that Superman actually wants to die which is really saying something.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The remix of the Justice League theme in 1870s period music in "The Once and Future Thing".
Line 9:
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: The heavily lampshaded episode about the [[Anvilicious|destruction of innocent species habitats during offshore drilling]] became this after the Gulf oil spill.
* [[Growing the Beard]] - This trope is expressly discussed in the Season 2 DVD. The producers felt that season one of ''Justice League'' was a competent production, improving as it progressed, but that it was in season two that the show became what they always wanted it to be. Many of the changes came about from their own disapproval and from listening to fan complaints. Bruce Timm explained that much of Season 1 was just trying to get the series started and they ended up rushing things where they should have taken more time. Among other items discussed:
** They made a policy decision to avoid "[[The Worf Effect|Super-wimp]]," which had a much larger effect on the first season than they had realized. They also wanted to increase the scale of the stories with larger backgrounds, more character models animated in critical scenes, bigger stakes, a visceral sense of physical contact and added emotional conflict even between the heroes. The rationale was "the show doesn't necessarily have to be ''dark'', but it has to be ''intense''" in order to make sure viewers were engrossed.
** They reintroduced a lot of the continuity from [[Batman: The Animated Series|BTAS]] and [[Superman: The Animated Series|STAS]], and some [[Call Forward|Call Forwards]] to [[Batman Beyond]], that had not been included in season one. Originally they wanted JL to stand on its own merits, but understood fans are generally watching the show to see their favorite characters.
** They began laying the groundwork for many future story arcs, while the first season had episodes largely self-contained. In particular, many hints about Hawkgirl's history would come to a head on "Starcrossed," the season finale.
** Bruce Timm said that he was often spurred on by [[Mel Brooks]] advice to [[Refuge in Audacity|Ring the Bell]]; if a scene seemed like it might be too much and you were having second thoughts, do it anyway and ''make it bigger''. It was the official mantra of the production team that "Good enough isn't good enough." The animators had specific instructions to work until a scene was good enough and then make it better.
Line 16:
** Also, in "The Savage Time", after Vandal Savage managed to usurp the Nazis and took over the world, with him as the leader, Batman in the alternate reality is leading a resistance against Savage's regime. Several years later, [[Christian Bale]], who portrays [[The Dark Knight Saga]] incarnation of Batman, later plays the resistance leader John Connor in a dystopian future where the machines practice what are essentially Nazi-based practices, including putting humans into extermination camps, in the film [[Terminator Salvation]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: This dialogue between Speedy and Green Arrow, in light of ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]''.

Line 33:
** Bizarro in ''[[Superman: The Animated Series]]'' was a complicated character whose attempts to do good resulted in destruction because of crippling mental disabilities. In ''Unlimited'', however, he transforms into his comic counterpart ([[Multiple Choice Past|One version of his comic counterpart, anyway]]) who simply has a bizarre tendency to reverse the intention of words and emotions, confusing "like" with "hate" and "good" with "bad."
*** It was implied in "Dead Reckoning" that Bizzaro had been forcibly reprogrammed into this state to make him serve the Legion of Doom.
* [[Rescued
* [[The Woobie]]: Ace of the Royal Flush Gang. Poor, poor Ace...
