Failsafe Failure | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_1d3c92da | comment |
Failsafe Failure: Kara's mother Alura believed Jor-El about the impending destruction of Krypton and secretly prepared as many single occupant rockets as she could to evacuate the planet. Unfortunately, when it comes time to use them, all but one fails to function. Kara is put on that one to save her life, but it gets hit debris and drifts for years, putting her arrival to Earth long after Clark's when she was intended to arrive first. | |

Adaptational Villainy: The Brainiac clones before Brainiac 5 are all mentioned as having become villains in the film. In the comics, Brainiacs 2 and 4 are heroes and Brainiac 3 is a Wild Card. Mon-El is a traitor in this movie, despite always having been a genuine hero in the comics. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Superman is the one who introduces Supergirl to the Legion as a reference to how the team first appeared back when he was Superboy in The Legion of Super-Heroes!. Batman's negative opinion of Supergirl is similar to his opinion of her in The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), where he believes that she is a dangerous threat. The way Brainiac dies, with the components of his being awakening and the mental conflict leading to ripping himself in half, is similar to how the Composite Superman, who is occasionally depicted with green skin and has fought the Legion, once died. | |

Invisible Streaker: Subverted. Invisible Boy is initially able to only turn his skin invisible, but assures everyone that he'll get the hang of turning other things invisible soon enough. When he's revealed to have survived the Dark Circle ambush later on by turning invisible, Kara initially questions if was forced to ditch his clothing, but Invisible Boy reveals he figured out and is still fully clothed. | |

Wrong Guy First | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_4f10672d | comment |
Wrong Guy First: Kara becomes interested in the seemingly heroic Mon-El almost as soon as they meet, but as time goes on, and especially once Mon-El is revealed to be a villain, she loses interest. Meanwhile, Kara mistakes Brainiac 5 for a villain and comes to blows with him as soon as they meet, but once she learns more about him, in particular that he is genuinely heroic, she and him become a couple. | |

Body Horror | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Brainiac used his clones for spare parts to reconstruct his body, leading to a Frankenstein-style piecemeal appearance, with their faces grotesquely grafted across his body that are still alive and pleading. At the climax they gain renewed strength to rebel and rip their own bodies out of the main mass. | |

Self-Disposing Villain: Towards the end, Brainiac 5 reminds the original Brainiac that there can only be one Brainiac who can have it all. At that point, all the other Brainiac clones grafted to his body begin to rebel and turn Brainiac into a Body Horror. Soon after, Brainiac tears himself apart and kills himself without the need for Supergirl or Brainiac 5 to fight him. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The Stinger has Kara communicating with Superman from the 31st Century, introducing him to Brainiac 5. After closing communication, Batman calls him out on withholding from Kara that they are presently investigating some kind of threat that left a giant smoking crater in the middle of a street. Looking up, Superman sees a beam charge and fire. He attempts to shield Batman but they're both seemingly disintegrated, leaving a smaller smoking crater behind. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Batman chooses the wrong place and time to discuss it with Superman when Supergirl is within earshot, but he nonetheless brings up a legitimate concern when he points out Kara's inability to adjust to life on twenty-first century Earth on account of being raised on the much-more advanced Krypton and her inability to properly handle her powers, as well as her lack of care for the damage she causes like during her battle with Grundy, make her a Destructive Savior and a potential hazard to innocent people. Though he doesn't approve of Bats indirectly making Kara cry by implying she'll need to leave Earth if this behavior continues, Superman's decision to bring his cousin to the thirty-first century to train with the Legion of Superheroes in an environment closer to what she's used to shows he saw the merit in Batman's words. | |

Opposites Attract | |
| Legion of Super-Heroes (2023) / int_711714da | comment |
Opposites Attract: Supergirl is brawny, impulsive, and social while Brainiac 5 is intellectual, carefully considers everything before acting, and socially awkward to the point of antagonism. After the two of them have a fight which leads to getting into a competition over virtually everything, they eventually realize that their differences are quite complementary when they work together. And this in turn leads to them realizing their feelings for each other and by the end of the film they're dating. | |

San Dimas Time: The time sphere gifted to Superman by the Legion allows for travel between two fixed points in time, so the same rate of time has passed on both ends each time it's used. Given he's already poking around in his own future, they probably felt unrestricted time travel was pushing it. | |

Big Bad: The original Brainiac founded the Dark Circle to resurrect himself after his death in Justice Society: World War II, having the organization create psychotic clones of himself over the centuries he uses to form a new body, before manipulating Brainiac 5 into giving him access to the Miracle Machine so he can use it to bend reality to his whims. Mon-El is The Heavy as the Dark Circle's mole in the Legion Academy, intending to bring about a new age of order and purity by helping Brainiac steal the Machine and even briefly attempting to take command of the Circle to continue pursuing this agenda after his master's defeat. | |
