* HesJustHiding: Even the Other Wiki takes the position that [[spoiler:Adam Strange may still be alive after his HeroicSacrifice, and just got teleported elsewhere.]]



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: There are so many plotlines (the Corps being destroyed, the Rann-Thanagar war and the introduction of the Justice League) and characters introduced in this film, and many feel that in attempting to include them all they were left underdeveloped. Some feel that removing one of those would have given the film a chance to develop what remained.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Absolutely nobody went in knowing Adam Strange was starring among the cast, let alone the same incarnation right out of his ''DC Showcase'' returning to aid the heroes in a mainstream movie.

** While Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, and Hawkgirl are all common Justice League members, it is a bit surprising to see Vixen appear as a charter member of the group over so many better known members..

* {{Narm}}: When Green Arrow explained how Sinestro's yellow power is the one thing John's ring is weak to, John's response is to compare that to racism with many noting how forced it was.

* CompleteMonster: [[Characters/GreenLanternThaalSinestro Thaal Sinestro]] is a former member of the Green Lantern Corps and [[Characters/GreenLanternHalJordan Hal Jordan]]'s mentor before going rogue. [[AxCrazy Thriving on chaos and death]], he and the Sinestro Corps [[WarForFunAndProfit instigated a bloody war]] between Rann and Thanagar by staging brutal [[FalseFlagOperation false flag attacks]]. To prevent peace between the two sides, Sinestro sabotages Sardath's Zeta-Beam experiment, transporting Thanagar into Rannian space, upsetting both planet's ecosystems and causing millions of casualties, as well as restarting the war. Hoping to bend Hal to his will, Sinestro infects him with the Parallax entity before the two massacre the Guardians and the Green Lantern Corps. Having succeeded in corrupting Hal, Sinestro subsequently becomes his main acolyte in his efforts to destroy and remake the universe.

The Adam Strange short was part of the Apokolips War Blu-Ray. If you bought the DVD, you didn't get the short.


** If you've never seen ''DC Showcase: Adam Strange'', then you will likely be confused who he is, how he got here, and why he's treated as a LivingLegend among the galaxy. Inevitable when said character's importance stems from a Blu-Ray/DVD special featurette.

* AntiClimaxBoss: After being built up as the worst evil lantern-wielder across the galaxy, [[spoiler: Sinestro is easily over-powered by a rookie John Stewart in a close-combat skirmish, then quickly replaced by the true antagonist with little fanfare.]] Not helping matters is that said character was one of the most deadly forces of the DC universe, yet gets brushed aside so quickly.

** Green Arrow and Hal Jordan's [[BashBrothers close friendship]] has never been well known amongst non-comic readers, yet the movie expects viewers to be aware of their fellowship [[spoiler: and crestfallen once Oliver is forced to put his evil former friend down.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The Corps was destroyed including several popular members, and considering how the Corps as a whole hasn't been used since ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternFirstFlight'' some feel killing them off so soon was a mistake. [[spoiler:Hal being the villain got this reaction especially from fans, and some have said that this reveal might have had more impact if Hal had been in a previous film as a hero with Green Arrow (since their friendship isn't known to non-comic book readers who would likely expect Green Arrow to be friends with [[Series/{{Arrowverse}} the Flash]]).]]
