YMMV / Justice League S 1 E 4 And 5 In Blackest Night

• Genius Bonus: The Flash's attempt to delay the trial involves discussing habeas corpus, ipso facto, and Phi Beta Kappa. Anyone unaware of their meanings would assume this is nonsense Flash is throwing around (Hawkgirl seemed to think so), but Habeas corpus (Latin for "that you have the body") is a writ on illegal confinement, ipso facto is Latin for "by the fact itself", and Phi Beta Kappa is both a US honor society and an initialism for a Greek phrase, "Philosophia Biou Kybernētēs," meaning, "Love of wisdom is the guide of life". A regular viewer wouldn't know any of that, but forensic scientist Wally West would.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The judges tell Flash that they "got rid of [their] lawyer problem" by making it so defense attorneys would receive the same sentence as their clients in case of a guilty verdict. In comes Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, whose overarching storyline is built on this premise and explores the terrible consequences of such a system.
