It gets to be similar to two previous ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' direct-to-video movies series creator Scott Jeralds directed, ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheLegendOfTheVampire'' and ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheMonsterOfMexico'', done in a similar retro fashion.

Twice a dog gets depowered to be Brought Down To Normal.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Twice in Bat-Hound episodes when a super-powered dog loses those powers.
** "Bat-Hound For A Day" had red Kryptonite take away Krypto's powers for 24 hours, so he has to ask Ace for help in fighting crime with gadgets instead.
** "Bat-Hound Meets the Dog Stars" has Hot Dog drained of his heat powers by Snooky to power a heat ray, so while Hot Dog recovers, Bulldog teases he's now a "chilly dog." Hot Dog weakly laughs as he tells Ace, "I guess you're not the only one without powers for a while."
