Trivia

 * This is the first DCTU film to have a post-credits scene that doesn't tease a future film, it simply wraps up David Graves's story, as well as JJ Abrams' partnership with the DCTU as this is the final film he directs before leaving the franchise.
 * In the comic storyline Graves interrogated Weapons Master and the Key to get information on the League. In the film he interrogates Trickster, Poison Ivy, and Metallo.
 * Unlike in the comic, Graves's full origin is never shown, so the reality behind the spirits of his family remains unknown, but most likely stems from the idol the League found in the Point Between Life and Death.
 * In the comics, Steve Trevor's sister's name was Tracy. In the movie, it is Stacy.
