* TakeThat: Lex Luthor swears that he's avoiding conflicts of interest between his businesses and his new position, by handing the former over to a blind trust... that just happens to be run by a family member of his. This is a pretty direct jab at Donald Trump, who was accused of similar tactics during his presidency.

This is a pretty direct jab at Donald Trump, who was accused of similar tactics during his presidency. Alternatively, it also highlights the fact that Luthor at least ''pretends'' to have this level of ethics, as Trump did not put any of his companies in a blind trust. In the comics, Lex Luthor ''was'' actually elected president, and fully divested himself of his company by turning the reins over to Talia al-Ghul. Comic book fans have pointed out in the past that this means Donald Trump is ''literally'' less ethical than a comic book supervillain.

!!Tropes in this episode:
* AgonyBeam: When the machine in the asteroid base is activated, it causes horrible pain to everyone caught in its area of effect. It's not clear if this is precisely what it's intended to do, since it's not finished yet, though Granny clearly expected that it would have such an effect.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: The Javelin has Nth Metal missiles which can pierce shields.
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: Granny pins the Goode VR mess on a rogue employee who is already dead, which she blames on the traffickers he was working with.
* DestructionEqualsOffSwitch: When Superman destroys the control console for Granny's machine, it immediately shuts off.
* LuredIntoATrap: Big Barda deliberately left an ion trail for the League to follow so they would come to the asteroid base and be destroyed.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: Granny uses a variation on this by boom tubing the Leaguers into space just outside the asteroid. Luckily, Guy is there to share his life support shield.
* UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway: Whatever machine Granny Goodness and Desaad are designing in the asteroid base, Granny has it activated before they've completed it in an attempt to disable the Leaguers. It causes them horrible pain, but Superman manages to force his way free and destroy the control console.
* WeNeedADistraction: Hawkman fires an Nth Metal missile at the asteroid base to cause an explosion, allowing Superman to punch a hole in the hull in an attempt to pass it off as a secondary breach. Granny isn't fooled.
