1* ExecutiveMeddling:
2** The Bat-Editors constantly threatened to yank Robin from the book unless the writers obeyed their edicts on how he could be featured; most notably, Robin could not be used in any battle that took place in public, according to the "urban legend" policy in the Bat-books.
3** This resulted in a couple of TakeThat jokes during a reality show story ("Did the all-concealing shadows just say ouch?"), including Robin creating the hero identity of "Mr. Sarcastic," a shaved-head ShoutOut to [[ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}} Spider Jerusalem]] (and possibly to Protector, a Robin expy created for 80's ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' PSA comics when licensing contracts prevented the Boy Wonder's use).

5* TheMerch: The last few waves of Creator/{{Hasbro}}'s ''JLA'' toyline, intended to act as this to ''ComicBook/JLA1997'' also acted as this for this series, including figures of Robin, Superboy, Impulse, and Red Tornado.
6* RecursiveAdaptation: The ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' cartoon was initially planned as an adaptation of ''Young Justice'', but the number of {{Legacy Character}}s was too much of a problem. The solution: ReVision the Wolfman-Perez Titans in the style of ''Young Justice''!
7** And now we got a ReVision of ''Young Justice'' more in line with Geoff Johns' Titans. Make of that what you will.
8* ShoutOut: Given the light hearted tone of the book they were able to cram these in at their leisure:
9** Cassie's room contains a slew of shoutouts via thinly retitled band and TV-show posters (Frontstreet Boys=Music/BackstreetBoys, Space Girls=Music/SpiceGirls, ''Dalton's Creek''=''Series/DawsonsCreek'', ''Wendy the Werewolf Stalker''=''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'') and a recolored [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] toy.
10** In Issue 20 Klarion watches the ParallelPornTitle ''The Bare Witch Project'' referencing ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject''
11** The "Wendy the Werewolf Stalker" show the team watches is a homage to ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
12** The cover of issue 35 states Lex Wants You! with Lex Luthor pointing at the viewer in front of an American flag.
13** The cover of issue 48 has the text ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily prominently displayed although the issue's actual title is "Fighting Maad, Part 2: D.O.A.".
14** The cover of issue 49 has Empress shouting [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Empress]]. YouKilledMyFather. [[PrepareToDie Prepare to DIE]]! Missing only the Hello! of Inigo Montoya's trope laden quote from ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
15* ToylessToylineCharacter: The ''JLA'' toyline didn't include Lagoon Boy, the Ray, or the female members of the team.
