Green Latern Plot hole(spoiler)
So in this story, Brainiac has corrupted Jon Steward, So how does he still have the ring? Doesn't the ring seek those deem worthy? If he was being corrupted, wouldn't the ring just fly off and find a suitable person to wear it? Also can the ring be corrupted by Brainiac?

Also how did King Shark able to wear it? Did anyone at the studio know anything about the lore?

those who wrote that part probably don't know a lot of about how green lanterns' rings work.

I mean…
That just feeds my theory that we didn’t kill the real justice League.

it has nothing to do with that theory tho. king shark definitely wore a GL ring, but GL rings do not work like that period.

Depending on the Universe, Sinestro was using both green and Yellow rings interchangeably for a while before being found out by Abin Sur. so the rings are intelligent, but not exactly perfectly so.

I don't feel Rocksteady was thinking about the lore, they just thought it looking cool that a Shark busts or breaks down the Skull Ship shields.

There’s a few inconsistencies that led me to believe we didn’t kill the Justice League, despite the title’s name would the plot really be THAT straight forward? I feel a plot twist coming in future seasons.

Superman had kryptonite to the heart and it did nothing, even Wonder Woman said it should have killed him.

Batman kept calling Harley “Quinnzel” - a minor detail but from what I remember he always called her Harley?

Flash had his thumb cut off when he was good, when we saw him again as evil he had his thumb back.

Green Lanterns ring… just didn’t make sense, like you guys pointed out. Idk much about GL but maybe the ring was one of brainiac’s inventions(?) or Lex Luthor #2 is working with Brainiac, he seems shady.

I feel Wonder Woman is the only member to actually be killed off out of the entire JL. The rest of the league must still be on brainiac’s ship

it could be the ring power was verry low to over use we also learn that brainiac changes thigns bout the heros not justm ind controls it so who to say he didnt tweak the ring its self if he can make super man more resistant twards his weakness why not right he is a liveing super computer

The Ring also makes the Wearer Immune to Mind Control. There is one known way around that, and it was Parallax being INSIDE the Central Power Battery. Even then it took Years, if not Decades, to Corrupt Hal by exploiting his Mental Weakness.

Also the Ring makes its choice based on Willpower, so it can actually chose Evil people as long as their Willpower is Strong enough, though the Guardians would likely take it away.

Speaking of the Guardians, once word reached them about this they would have sent Lanterns to Capture him, likely an Army if they had known about Brainiac. Either way they would not leave a Ring under his Control.

EDIT: There is also the No Killing enforcement that is put on ALL Rings. The only time this was known to be Force-ably Removed was the Dawnbreaker. This was put into place after Hal became Parallax, though was lifted during the Darkest Night Event. So this could or could not be in place, but its often shown to be in effect through out the Multiverse.

I don't think that fans should be scrapping hints that the Justice team are clones. It should be within the main story.

Also Wonder Woman isn't the only character to die. Apparently Robin was killed by Batman. which seems like blasphemy.

The fact that they put this game in the same universe of the Arkham games is like why? Obviously they wanted to draw people who loved the games to buy the game. But why would I want to play this game knowing that you killed Batman in the most disrespectful way? The Arkham games were done. This game had no right being in the same universe.

if you say that it is in the arkham universe, the game will sell.

Because the writers dont care about the lore, characters, setting, or the way things work in that universe. They just wanted big green shark moment (Which they could have got by just making the power ring fly up, choose him, then be sucked dry of power doing that little stunt. Boom, plothole fixed, but bad writers are bad.)

The story’s not finished yet though? The upcoming seasons is going to continue and wrap it up eventually. What we experienced so far are breadcrumbs and to people like me that’s fun because it keeps us guessing

And I don’t think Robin’s dead either.
All we saw was his mask, there was no body. If there’s no body then the door is open for them to return later on, surely you guys know that rule?

There would have been something in the main story that alluded to these character not being dead. Like Amanda Waller or Lex Luthor found a signal within the Skull Ship that the Justice League were captured. Not this we have to wait 2 to 3 years for all the story content to release to get the story.

Also given how unsuccessful this game has been. Grant it you may like it and enjoy it. The game as a live service game, the numbers of people playing is abysmal. The damage is done. So the likelihood they will finish all their planned dlc is not looking good. They might drop the Joker dlc and that's it.

Its true that those COULD be hints, but they could also just be Errors or Inconsistencies. For Flash it could be that the Scene with him losing his Thumb was added later for "Comedic Value", and the Devs didnt have the time to Fix later Scenes.

I feel they could have done a much better job of showing us these where Clones, or just JL from a Different Universe. At the end they could have shown us a Signal in the Batcave that showed a Faint Life Signal of Bat, as we see someone in Bat Family Apparel looking at it. They could even just showed us Pods on Braniacs Ship with the Symbols of all the JL Members on it.
