Apparently, we've got Vandal Savage, Luthor, Joker, Ra's Al Ghuul, and Klarion functioning as lackeys to some "Greater Evil." There's just no way that could happen given the diverse character (or lack thereof) of that motley crew.

I can only assume that 90% of all the villains we've seen on this show have been brainwashed by the yet-to-be-revealed "The Light." I'll go on the record in saying that Mind Control is fun for short bursts but is a pretty weak way to write villains at lengths. And if they aren't being MC'd... dang, I'll be really disappointed.

You're a little confused here. The Light consists of Ra's, Luthor, Vandal Savage, Klarion, The Brain, Queen Bee and Ocean Master. They've all teamed together to systematically destroy the Justice League. No mind control needed to get them to attend that party.

Yeah, it's definitely non-traditional to have almost all of the villain's working together, but it makes logical sense that they do since all the heroes work together. I personally chalk it up to the fact that The Light is just paying all their underling's very well, that's how they get nutcases like Joker and Poison Ivy to work for them.

Even then, there are still some standalone baddies in the continuity. Harm, The Terror Twins, and Clayface to name a few. As well as all the stuff that happens off-screen.
