This is another American comic world that I am not familiar with, so I see relatively few related theater animations, and the quality is uneven. Some stories with unique perspectives are quite fun, just like "Assault Arkham" all focus on villains. The adaptation of this film is based on the movie version of Man of Steel, and then re-subverts the identity of the Justice League. In the face of absolute power, becoming a ruler or abuser is indeed within a single thought. This is also the most unreliable hope of mankind, a bit similar to monarchy.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters quotes
-
Wonder Woman: [Highfather and the Gods of New Genesis have just slaughtered the entire ruling elite of Apokolips, including Orion, at Orion and Bekka's wedding] You said he could live.
Highfather: I said I would spare him for you, but not at the expense of the mission. Even if he had lived, what life could you have had with him?
Wonder Woman: He was different.
Highfather: He was Darkseid's blood, one of countless bastards in a line of endless betrayal.
Wonder Woman: [picks up the sword Orion gave her as a wedding gift and points it at Highfather] You are one to speak! You are blood-soaked in betrayal!
Highfather: Watch your tongue, granddaughter!
Wonder Woman: If I had to do it over, I would have warned them all. I would have shouted to the skies, "Trust not the monster Highfather. He is mad with power!"
Lightray: Silence!
[Lighhtray fires a blast at Bekka, who parries it with her sword and sends it back at him]
Highfather: You can still redeem yourself.
Wonder Woman: There is no redemption for me.
[Bekka Boom Tubes off of Apokolips]

Batman: Where is Tina?
Will Magnus: She's dead. I killed her about a year into our marriage. It was an accident, I assure you. You see, I always knew she loved you. Even back in college, she was only really happy when the three of us were together. Even after I turned you into a monster, even after that, she still wanted you. She married me, but that was an obligation. She kept urging me to find a cure for you, every day, night and day, "Will, you've gotta do something! Will, you can't abandon him! Will! Will! Will!" She never let up! And finally, one day, I'd had it and I hit her!
[suddenly bereft]
Will Magnus: And her head struck a table. She was gone.
