The third time Flash punches Luthor/Brainiac, the latter rolls over. If you pay attention, you can see that the exact moment he does, his image flips, and the arm without the armor switches from right to left.
When Luthor proposes an alliance with Brainiac, Brainiac says his alliance with Darkseid tells him to mistrust organics, due to the events of the episode "Twilight." But this copy of Brainiac was inside Luthor for years, and never entered into outerspace so how did he know what the copy experienced?
In Luthor's flashback , Brainiac shot a yellow beam at Luthor. But, in the original episode, "Ghost in the Machine," he shot a blue beam.
When the Justice Lord Superman hits the real Superman, he knocks him back into some kind of tank or vat. Superman falls to the ground clear of the tank but there's nothing on him. Then in the next shot for some reason he's crackling with blue electricity that fades away. None of the other counterparts cause electrical sparks when they hit their opponents, so why does it happen here?
When J'onn calls the Watchtower, Superman is to his left (audience right) and level with him with his head is about at the same height at J'onn's. In the next shot, Superman is behind J'onn and standing, and kneels down to put his head level with J'onn's.
When they're discussing what Brainiac will do next, Wonder Woman is to the left talking with Hawkgirl and you can just see Superman to the right of them. Then they cut to a shot of Superman with J'onn and Flash to his left (audience rigth). But then they cut to a long shot and suddenly the order has changed completely: Flash and J'onn are to Superman's right (our left), Green Lantern is next, and then Hawkgirl, then Wonder Woman, and finally Superman. When Batman says, "You want to bet Brainiac can't?", there's another small jump and Wonder Woman is now on Superman's left (our right).
When the tentacles attack Green Lantern, he starts stepping backward and the street behind him is clearly empty for some distance. But he takes a couple of steps backward, there's a change in shot...and suddenly he's backing up to Waller. Where'd she come from?
In the initial pan shot of the crowd, Vibe is standing next to the highly visible red-white Rocket Red. But when the crowd applauds, Rocket Red disappears and Vibe is standing next to Black Canary.
In the initial pan shot of the crowd, Fire is near Elongated Man. When the crowd start applauding, she's standing right next to Dr. Mid-Nite several yards to the left (our right) of her previous position.
In the initial pan shot of the crowd, Booster Gold is standing right next to Dr. Light and Metamorpho and Crimson Fox are nowhere to be seen. When the crowd start applauding a few seconds later, Dr. Light disappears and he's standing next to Zatanna, Metamorpho, and Crimson Fox, who were nowhere to be seen in the opening pan.
During the opening pan shot of the crowd, Dr. Mid-Nite is to Waverider's left (audience right) and in front of him. He's still there in the long shot when Superman disbands the League. But when Green Arrow makes his speech, Dr. Mid-Nite is appreciably behind Waverider. Then as Green Arrow continues speaking, in the next long shot Dr. Mid-Nite jumps in front of Waverider again.
During the opening pan shot of the crowd, Zatanna is nowhere to be seen. But in the long shto when Superman says, "While we had the best of intentions..." she can be seen in the foreground in front of and to Atom Smasher's right (audience's left), just behind Dr. Light.
During the opening pan shot of the crowd, Mr. Terrific is behind Elongated Man and to his left, and Fire is behind and to EM's right. But when the crowd reacts to Superman saying they're taking down the station, Fire and Mr. Terrific have switched positions.
Flash: Hate to interrupt this special live performance of The Thing With Two Heads, but it's time to go to jail now.
Amanda Waller: What he said.
Amanda Waller: I'll be dipped!
Brainiac: No! I was not yet prepared for this battle. (reveals his giant ship) Now I am prepared.
Batman: That was too easy.
Hawkgirl: Easy...? Then I guess I must have gone to the wrong fight!
Brainiac: It is extremely unlikely that your inferior human intellect has anything to offer me.
Luthor: Since we've become so close, I'm going to let that pass.
Brainiac: I have learned from my encounter with Darkseid that organic beings cannot be trusted.
Luthor: I can't argue with that.
Brainiac/Luthor: Welcome, Justice League - you are just in time for the end of the world.
Shayera: Less talking, more hitting!
Robot/Alternate Flash: (punching his counterpart) Slacker, child, clown...we have no place here among the world's greatest heroes.
The Flash: Says you! I got a seat at the big conference table...I'm going to paint my logo on it!
(Green Lantern demolishes the robot Hawkgirl)
Hawkgirl: You enjoyed that a little too much.
Green Lantern: Just letting off some steam. She broke my heart, you know.
Hawkgirl: (demolishing a robot Green Lantern) Likewise, I'm sure.
Superman: I'm not the man who killed President Luthor. Right now, I wish to Heaven that I were, but I'm not.
Green Arrow: You remember what we did yesterday? We saved the world – again. You don't think that has any value, well think again, pal. The Justice League goes on, with or without you. Look, nobody can question your service or commitment to making things better. If you're quitting because you think you've already done your fair share, we'll throw you a parade. But if you're quitting because it's easier then continuing the fight, then you're not the heroes we al thought you were. The world needs the Justice League . . . and the Justice League needs you, Superman.
Batman: You guys can handle this - I've got work back in Gotham. You've got my number.
Wonder Woman: I think so.
Lois: I'm going to cut (Superman) a break. He's only human. You know what I mean.
Clark: Yeah, I do.

Brainiac's new look (on Luthor's stomach) and the 'Head' ship are interpretations of 1980s pre-Crisis Brainiac designs, where he was portrayed as a thin metal man with bulbous shoulders and a larger-than-normal head. This large head design is what appears in this episode.
Among the reporters who appear at the end are Summer Gleason (from Batman The Animated Series) and Snapper Carr.
First aired on YTV June 17, 2005.
Flash: I got a seat at the big conference table...I'm going to paint my logo on it!
In the comics, every Justice Leaguer has his/her logo painted on the back of a chair at their conference table.
Flash: Hate to interrupt this special live performance of The Thing With Two Heads, but it's time to go to jail now.
This is a reference to the movie of the same name from 1972. In the movie. In it one guy gets his head attached to another guy's body. The result was supposed to be like an Odd Couple type pairing as one was "a white bigot" and the other a "soul brother."
Superman: The Animated Series
Brainiac's account of how he came to possess Lex Luthor, as well as the flashback scenes throughout, come directly from the Superman episode "Ghost in the Machine," which aired in 1997.
Green Arrow: Who guards the guardians?
Batman approaches Green Arrow and says something in Latin. Thankfully, the Green Arrow translates for us. "Who guards the guardians?" is a criticism that Juvenal raised in response to the The Republic, which contained Plato's ideas of a perfect society. Among those ideas was the idea that philosophers and warriors would serve as "Guardians". This could also be seen as a reference to the renowned comic series Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" is used as a tagline for the story.
Professor Zoom
The alternative Flash that the real Flash fights is very similar in look to Professor Zoom, the Reverse Flash from the comics. In the comics he was the Flash's evil counterpart who killed Barry Allen's (2nd Flash) wife Iris before being killed in battle with the Flash. A second Zoom later appeared in the comics to fight Wally West and caused Wally's wife Linda to lose her and Wally's unborn child.
The Speed Force
The Speed Force is a well established concept in the Flash comic book series. It is mostly referred to as an extradimensional conduit of power that allows the speedsters of this universe to move at speeds approaching the speed of light. However the Speed Force has also been described as a kind of Valhalla for heroes who move at superspeeds. In this episode the Flash taps into the hitherto unknown Speed Force in order to run faster than he has ever run before, but as a result is almost pulled into its afterlife aspect and is required to be rescued by his teammates. All this is consistent with the way the Speed Force is portrayed in the comics.
Title: Divided We Fall
Refers to the phrase "United We Stand, Divided We Fall". The saying was first coined by John Dickinson, a cautious and conservative American congressman of the latter 18th-century who later became known as the "Penman of the Revolution".
