* UpdatedReRelease: ''Assault on Arkham Abridged'' had a RunningGag of Deadshot repeatedly expressing seething contempt for Creator/WillSmith for playing him in the then-upcoming [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 theatrical film]], culminating in the third part of the video showing a news report of Deadshot shooting Will Smith multiple times. After the film came out, YJA's creators who otherwise disliked the movie ended up [[TheOneThingIDontHateAboutYou liking Will Smith's portrayal of Deadshot so much]] that they took down part 3 of ''Assault on Arkham Abridged'' and reuploaded it with a different newscast, this time explaining that Deadshot formally apologized to Will Smith and took back every negative thing he ever said about him.

It was announced on 2 April 2020 that the series is going to be [[https://twitter.com/DCAbridged/status/1245788161407623168 ending]] after a decade long run. However, before the decision to WrapItUp, there were going to be two more movies (Judas Contract & Batman: Hush) and probably one more episode but it was decided to skip to the ending. Silver lining, the scripts for the two movies are available on their Patreon for those who supported them with money to read.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Very few people genuinely ''like'' Superman, mainly due to the fact he's a {{hypocrit|e}}ical [[FantasticRacism racist]] idiot. The only reason anyone really tolerates him is because he's too strong to fight, virtually immortal to anyone without magic or kryptonite, and highly unstable. Numerous times where it seems like he's about to die has the other league members ''celebrating'' his possible death, and any attempts to save him are usually frowned upon. The only people who like him are Diana and Sasha, Diana due to seeing his behavior as reminiscent of the Amazon's as well as the two being close friends since the League's inception, and Sasha more out of his own deep-seated [[WellDoneSonGuy daddy issues]]. But even Sasha has his limits.

** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueThroneOfAtlantis'' has Black Manta eaten alive by a shark summoned by Aquaman and is left with an UncertainDoom. Since Black Manta plays an important role in the series as Kaldur's father, a post credits scene shows that he killed the shark from the inside and cut himself out of its stomach.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Nabu. He's still sort of a prick and appears to have some FantasticRacism towards Atlanteans, since upon finding out Kaldur was one, he changed his mind about keeping his body. However, he's overall less likely to keep most users bodies, even being cordial with Wally. Just donning the helmet also won't do so, as he allows Batman to don it for the purpose of seeing a future where [[spoiler:Superman is President]] without demanding to take over his body. [[spoiler:Because of this, when Zatara ultimately dons the helmet, its made so that Nabu is actually on vacation at the time, and its really just [[AdaptationalJerkass Zatara]] pretending he's Dr. Fate as an excuse to get away from Zatanna.]]
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Rather than being the result of Nabu giving the wielders power, the Helmet of Fate is what gives the power to its users. As while Zatanna dons it, Nabu happened to be on vacation, yet she could still use Dr. Fate's form of magic. In addition, donning the helmet has a drawback on those who wear it. Because their bodies aren't able to handle the excess magical energy of the Helmet, those who don it suffer an OutOfBodyExperience, in which their minds are transported into that of their future selves. These moments sometimes double as CallForward moments for the rest of the series.
** When Wally is initially wearing it, he sees random moments from ''Invasion''. Afterwards, all of his moments encompass the fight with "Dubstepman" and his meeting of Bart Allen/Impulse. [[spoiler:Said moments also reveal Wally is SparedByTheAdaptation, as he has taken on the mantle of The Flash now. Bart also reveals his reason for time travelling was actually to speak to Wally like this, as he couldn't make the jump to the present, so that he could warn him to tell Batman to not let Superman become president.]]
** Kaldur's time encompasses most of his scenes serving as a DoubleAgent under Black Manta during ''Invasion''.
** Bruce's first time serves as a compilation between the events of ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'', serving as a [[spoiler:DarkFuture where Superman is president and Alfred is VP.]] His subsequent attempts are much different as a result of Kent tinkering with the magic for Bruce. Instead of seeing the Future, the subsequent visions show Batman various alternate realities, allowing Bruce to try and find alternate versions of [[spoiler:Superman to talk him out of taking office.]]

* DeathByAdaptation: Because of the decision to adapt ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'', Ra's Al Ghul is killed by Deathstroke, and since Talia doesn't let Damien put him in the Lazarus Pit, for now the death has stuck. While a FlashForward of Aqualad's does show him, hinting he might be revived eventually, WordOfGod is that the vision was only one of many ''possibilities'', and that Future is constantly changing, meaning there is no guarantee Ra's death will be undone.



* SparedByTheAdaptation: All over the place thanks to combining Young Justice with the DC Animated Universe.
** A lot of his original appearances involve ComicBook/TheJoker dying in them, in particular ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham''[[labelnote:*]]Admittedly, since it was a case of NeverFoundTheBody and an interquel to the Arkham video games, he likely survived anyway[[/labelnote]] and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood''. Here however, while he ''does'' actually die during the events, a deal he had set up with The Light made it so that whenever he does die, he'll get tossed in a Lazarus Put and be revived immediately.
** From ''WesternAnimation/SuicideSquadHellToPay'', mainly due to it being set ''before'' the events of Young Justice.
*** In the original, after Zoom takes the card out of Vandal Savage's chest, he's killed. Here, since he's the BigBad behind most of the DCAU and still around in the present, he simply passes out.
*** In the original, after Waller detonates the bomb in Copperhead, Killer Frost is caught in the explosion and killed. Since she appears fighting Aquaman and Aqualad in the first episode of Young Justice however, she moans out she survived, but that her skin is now blue for some reason.[[labelnote:*]]It's a nod to how in Crystal Frost's appearance in ''Hell to Pay'' her skin is Caucasian, but in Young Justice her skin is ice blue.[[/labelnote]]
*** In the original, after his fingers are cut off by Bronze Tiger, Zoom is mowed down by Deadshot and killed. Here, while that still happens, he's OnlyMostlyDead and saved by [[spoiler:Dr. Manhattan, intent on using him for further entertainment and implying he'll send him to take part in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueFlashpointParadox'', effectively trapping him in a StableTimeLoop and AFateWorseThanDeath.]]



** 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.
