* InformedDeformity: Many people take potshots at Wally West for being fat, even though he's clearly just as physically fit as he appears in the source material. He ''does'' seem to have some sort of eating disorder, albeit in the form of a mysterious voice compelling him to indulge in unhealthy eating habits.

Added DiffLines:

* LarynxDissonance: Cheshire speaks in a high-pitched, somewhat screechy voice whenever she speaks Japanase, but speaks in a deeper, more adult one when speaking English.
** Mira gets this on and off. When underwater, her voice sounds normal, but when on land, her voice becomes incredibly stuffy and nasally, making her sound like [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} Chuckie Finster]]. She blames it on the air drying out her nose.

* NoIndoorVoice: Sportsmaster's voice is locked at one volume and that's ''SCREAMING HIS HEAD OFF, [[IAmVeryBritish LUV!]]''
* ObfuscatingStupidity: M'Gann is depicted as something of TheDitz early on, but after TheReveal [[spoiler: that she's a White Martian in disguise]], she's shown to be much more mature and articulate than she previously presented herself.

* BedTrick: A non-sexual example. Red Hood is initially able to get Starfire to join [[VigilanteMan his cause]] by claiming to be Robin. Starfire [[CloudCuckoolander instantly assumes]] he's [[OfficialCouple Dick Grayson]] and he rolls with it to gain her loyalty. She is ''not'' pleased when Speedy bluntly pulls the thread on the deception.

* {{Fauxshadowing}}: In Episode 8, Jason Todd tells The Joker that if he speaks again, he'll "give you a wheelchair for Christmas." Joker then muses that he [[WesternAnimation/TheKillingJoke might just do that for someone else, probably a redhead]]. Some time later, came an announcement video claiming the team would be Abridging the animated adaptation of that story...only for The Joker himself to admit it was a prank, saying that "[[EvenEvilHasStandards Even I couldn't make that one funny!]]"

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: The Abridging began before most of the identities of The Light's membership was revealed, and thus one of the cast members did a [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] impression for one particular member of The Light. When it was revealed The Joker had nothing to do with The Light, the actual character, R'as Al-Ghul, was allowed to keep his Joker voice, but given an airy UpperClassTwit lilt to it to distinguish him from the ''actual'' Joker, who is voiced with a dead-on Creator/MarkHamill impression.

** In ''Injustice'' part 1, Lex Luthor is shown in a news broadcast blatantly wearing Jessie Eisenberg's hair from ''Movie/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' as part of a strategy to appear better to his voters. Not only does it not work, but even the news ticker says "It's almost as if Lex Luthor with hair is a terrible idea." The [[DCExtendedUniverse DCEU]] in general gets mocked really.
