* ShortDistancePhoneCall: Aquaman pranks Ryan by calling his cell phone and announcing that he'll be arriving via TelephoneTeleport in a moment. Ryan exasperatedly points out that that's ''his'' power, not Aquaman's, and that it doesn't work over a cell phone in any case. Meanwhile, Aquaman walks in from the next room.

to:

* EverybodyHatesMathematics: Ryan gave up being a hero because he finds his research work more interesting and gets a thrill out of doing equations. Naturally, Aquaman doesn't see it the same way.

'''Aquaman:''' No, I stopped once you started babbling on about math.
* ExpositoryThemeSong: Aquaman sings one for ''The Currys of Atlantis''.
* {{Flashback}}: The main story opens with Batman narrating one covering his past team-ups with Ray Palmer, Ryan taking over for a retired Ray before retiring himself, and Batman beginning a search for Ray. A couple other flashbacks are interspersed to show how Batman's search went.

* OfficialCouple: After Daeragis is brought to justice, Laethwen offers Atom (Ray Palmer) to stay behind, an offer he takes her up on and the two can resume their relationship, knowing Daeragis has been brought to justice and will never get in the way of their happiness.

\n* LampshadeHanging:
** When Aquaman insists he wear a conventional superhero outfit, Ryan refuses both because he's retired and because he likes wearing clothes with pockets.
** Ryan can't believe that Aquaman can summon and command silverfish, to which Aquaman responds that "a fish is a fish, even if it's a bug." An irritated Ryan would rather just go with it than dwell any further on this.
** Batman and Aquaman escape the web by the former electrocuting the spider. Ryan questions how they're both wearing electrically-insulated boot soles, but Aquaman says that's a standard part of any good costume.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Faced with a poison dart frog looking to eat them, Aquaman remarks that he never trusts any amphibians.
-->'''Aquaman:''' Never trust an amphibian. Land or water: choose a side!
* RetiredBadass:
** Ray retired at some point before the series began, though life in the jungle still means some action now and then.
** Aquaman's view of Ryan. He might not think much of shrinking power, but he feels Ryan has the heart of a hero and can still accomplish a lot more good. The episode ends with Ryan coming out of retirement.
* SitcomArchnemesis: Black Manta's role in Aquaman's sitcom. He plants a bomb in Aquaman's mailbox (again) as payback for Fluke ruining his octopus garden.
* SoProudOfYou: Aquaman, while Ryan (back in his Atom gear) takes on Chronos.
* SpecialGuest: Parodied in Aquaman's sitcom with Batman getting loud applause for his brief appearance.
* StudioAudience: Parodied with Aquaman's sitcom.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Ryan upon getting a phone call from Aquaman.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Aquaman thinks Ryan is capable of so much more than a mundane life in the lab and keeps pushing him to embrace his calling as a superhero. Ultimately, Ryan does and resumes being the Atom.
