* MutuallyFictional: The Zoo Crew and Just'a Lotta Animals both considered the other to be fictional before they met up. Lampshaded by a visit to the Earth-C version of Gardner Fox to help explain the concept.

** Before DC's ExecutiveMeddling, Shaw! and Bill Morrison [[http://legacy.aintitcool.com/node/51575 had major plans]] for following up the ''Final Ark'' miniseries -- a ''Legion of Super-Pets'' series would've chronicled the Zoo Crew (now trapped in "real" animal forms in the mainstream DCU) fighting various animal-themed supervillains, before ComicBook/AnimalMan would've noticed something was off about them, and gotten Zatanna to reverse their transformations. This would've led into a 80-page "giant" comic with "reprints" of stories that didn't actually happen (including the Zoo Crew meeting their EvilCounterpart the "Bruise Crew", Little Cheese as a "super ghost", the Terrific Whatzit fighting in World War II, [[ComicBook/{{Deadman}} Deadmouse]], and a story involving the Just'a Lotta Animals), leading into another mini-series featuring the Zoo Crew, along with various new resistance heroes, fighting to save the flooded Earth-26 from the tentacles of Starro once again...and save Pig-Iron, who'd been forced to fight on Starro's behalf, lest Starro flood what little of Earth-26 remained dry. Sadly, all of this went uncreated since DC didn't do a good job of marketing the ''Final Ark'' mini-series to start, and then used the subsequent low sales as justification for why they weren't goign to do anything more.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Alley-Kat-Abra's explanation in ''Final Ark'' that it was an EvilTwin who killed Little Cheese in the earlier ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' story. WordOfGod says that they decided to do this instead of a full RetCon as an homage to [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] plotting.

** The original idea was dubbed ''Super-Squirrel and the Super-Animal Squad'', based around the Just'a Lotta Animals. But because of the fact that these were parodies of existing characters would lead to licensing issues, they instead decided to create completely separate, non-parody characters.
