Just like the ''[[Superman Batman Public Enemies|Superman/Batman]]'' [[Superman Batman Apocalypse|movies]] (and ''[[Superman Brainiac Attacks]]'' in regards to Superman and ''[[Batman Gotham Knight|Batman: Gotham Knight]]'', the ''[[Batman Arkham Asylum|Arkham]]'' [[Batman Arkham City|games]] and ''[[DC Universe Online]]'' in regards to Batman), Tim Daly, [[Kevin Conroy]], and Susan Eisenberg reprise their respective roles from the [[DCAU]] as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Savage is defeated, the world is saved, all the Leaguers come out alright and Cyborg becomes a member of the league... but the League's faith in Batman is shattered and he himself quits when called out on his actions. That said, it ends a ''lot'' better than the comic it's based off of. Here, it's played like a semi-amiable conflict of interest (especially when Superman is involved), in the comic it's a total schism which near shatters the trust of the entire League and has ripple effects to other teams around the DC Universe.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Batman. This proves to be the impetus for the plot, as Batman had made plans to take down the League just in case. The others see it as paranoia, but he sincerely believes that all of them need to have something that can take them down just in case the worst happens - even himself.
