* Franchise/{{Batman}} combines traits of his mainstream comic book, ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' and ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' incarnations. He also starts off like post-resurrection Jason Todd and Damian Wayne, willing to kill criminals before growing out of it. As revealed in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'', Batman also takes on the role of Adeline Kane in causing Deathstroke's [[EyeScream missing eye]]. While Batman is sometimes a hero who goes up against Deathstroke, him being the one Deathstroke seeks revenge on is specifically taken from [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]], who Zack Snyder has confirmed died as ComicBook/{{Robin}} in this continuity.
* ComicBook/LexLuthor is actually named Alexander Luthor, Jr., a separate character from the comics who happens to be the son of an alternate Lex. He also starts off with a full head of hair like in ''ComicBook/SupermanBirthright'' before losing it and more closely resembling the classic Lex.

* Dr. Sivana combines his own role in Creator/GeoffJohns's ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' origin with that of Comicbook/BlackAdam (thinking he has the right to the Shazam powers and demands Billy transfer them to him) and Byers/Sabbac (empowered by the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man; the Byers brothers appear in the film, but their father doesn't).

** Victoria Kord's role as an antagonistic family member of the previous Blue Beetle, Ted Kord, is taken from his uncle Jarvis Kord, while her role in creating the OMAC program is derived from that of Maxwell Lord, whose only connections to Ted Kord in the comics were working with him as part of the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational and murdering him (whereas the DCEU's Ted has instead mysteriously vanished).
** Ignacio Carapax is named for Carapax the Indestructible Man, the archenemy of Ted Kord, but [[spoiler:takes on the identity of OMAC, similar to Buddy Blank, the original OMAC]].

* Faora, being Zod's loyal second-in-command, is more like a different Kryptonian villain, Ursa--which is odd, because Faora and Ursa they were originally {{Decomposite Character}}s of the original comic book version of Faora. (Confusing, eh?)

* While the film version of ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} still carries the comic incarnation's nihilism, the casting of Creator/WillSmith and Smith's own comments about Deadshot trying to rid the world of worse criminals suggests elements of the original Eric Needham Black Spider (an African-American vigilante who fought criminals) were infused into this version of Deadshot.
* June Moone's role as Rick Flag's love interest on the Squad [[spoiler: who he can't bring himself to kill after she betrays the team]] is taken from Dr. Karin Grace.
