14	''DC Super Hero Girls'' (later renamed ''DC Super Hero Girls: At Super Hero High'') is a 2015 WebAnimation series created by [[Creator/WarnerBros Warner Bros: Animation]], Creator/DCComics, and Creator/{{Mattel}}. Along with the animated specials, the webisodes are tie-ins to the girl-centered DC Super Hero Girls franchise.
15
16	At Super Hero High, Principal Amanda Waller and her staff focus on training the iconic, adolescent versions of well-known DC Comics superheroes (and villains) during their formative years to become the next generation of heroic protectors. The school's newest student, potential Themyscira ambassador [[Franchise/WonderWoman Diana]], must learn the ropes of high school with her new-found classmates [[PowerOfFriendship through their united friendship]].
17
18	Webisodes and behind the scenes videos can be found on their Website/YouTube page [[https://goo.gl/cM04CV here.]] The main site is also [[http://tinyurl.com/nz6u4k4 here]]. Not to be confused with the [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019 television series of the same name]] from Creator/CartoonNetwork, which has [[ContinuityReboot a completely different continuity]] based more on Creator/LaurenFaust's ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' shorts. The continuities are generally divided by their showrunner (Creator/SheaFontana for the Super Hero High series, Lauren Faust for the one based on ''SBFF'').
19
20	The webisodes were broadcast as "bumpers" between scheduled programs on Creator/{{Boomerang}} until 2019, when it was entirely replaced by shorts from the continuity of the aforementioned television series of the same name.

58	----
59	!!''DC Super Hero Girls'' provides examples of:
60
61	* AdaptationOriginConnection: The graphic novel tie-in ''Date with Disaster'' establishes that this continuity's Rampage is responsible for giving Killer Croc, Plastique, Jimmy Olsen's Giant Turtle Boy persona and Poison Ivy their powers, when in the comics none of the characters' backstories had anything to do with each other.
62	* AdaptationalHeroism: As the line is aimed at young children, a number of characters who are traditionally villains or very aggressive anti-heroes are portrayed as straight heroes, including Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Explained with different backstories (e.g. without her abusive relationship with the Joker in her past, Harley's more "hero" than "anti"), onscreen conversions (e.g. Blackfire's HeelFaceTurn in ''Intergalactic Games''), and mentions of past reforms (e.g. much of the faculty comes from a program Waller runs to help former supervillains reform).
63	* AdaptationalJerkass: In the Lego Galactic Wonder special, Hippolyta has a more condescending and somewhat demeaning personality to her personality, as opposed to her more innocently insensitive behavior in the main series. Just like the main series, she gets better, and she still loves her daughter.
64	* AdaptationalJobChange:
65	** Amanda Waller is the principal of Super Hero High, when her mainline comics incarnation is a government agent.
66	** Wonder Woman's love interest Steve Trevor traditionally is a soldier, but in this continuity works at the Cape & Cowls Cafe.
67	* AdaptationalModesty: Since the show is aimed for a younger audience, many characters who traditionally wear revealing outfits are covered up. For example, Wonder Woman wears jeans, Ivy has pants underneath a skirt, Cheetah wears a modest outfit instead of wearing a bikini pelt or going naked and Starfire's regular outfit covers more. Harley wears a modified version of her regular outfit instead of her New 52 outfit.
68	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In most canons, Starfire and Blackfire are the CainAndAbel. In this franchise, that lasts a single movie, and they get along well after Blackfire's HeelFaceTurn.
69	* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Several characters are a lot nicer than their villainous, or GoodIsNotNice, counterparts in the comics:
70	** Amanda Waller here isn't a total 180 from ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'', but she's certainly a hell of a lot nicer.
71	** Harley Quinn is more flighty than psycho.
72	** Miss Martian is usually a peppy PluckyGirl but she's now a shy ShrinkingViolet.
73	** Poison Ivy has gone from an EcoTerrorist to a shy but still kind person who still creates weird plants, but never with malicious intent.
74	* AdaptationalVillainy:
75	** The ''Hits and Myths'' trade paperback had [[spoiler:the "Birds of Prey" (a band made of Black Canary, Magpie and Black Condor) as villains.]]
76	** Lena Thorul is basically a female version of Lex here. (In other versions, the reason she's called Thorul instead of Luthor is to distance herself from her evil brother. She's not always squeaky clean, but she isn't a villain.)
77	** Downplayed with the Metal Men in the ''Intergalactic Games'' movie. Lead, Iron and Platinum are out of control and Principal Waller orders them to be scrapped. Lena sneaks away Platinum to use her in her schemes, but Platinum is eventually convinced to turn against Lena and be good.
78	* AdaptationalWimp: Trigon is ''far'' less powerful than any of his counterparts with the possible exception of the one from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. Although it seems he's [[TookALevelInBadass taken a level in badass]] since his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkwTr-I-9vE debut]] if this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dObhgqGgZT4 teaser]] is anything to go by.
79	* AdaptedOut:
80	** ComicBook/{{Etrigan}} is shown to be a member of the Super Hero High faculty in the ''Hits and Myths'' tie-in graphic novel, but when explaining his backstory, it is shown that Merlin made him good without bonding him to Jason Blood, who isn't indicated to exist in this continuity.
81	** The only ComicBook/DoomPatrol-associated characters to appear are Beast Boy and Elasti-Girl. In the cases of Negative Man, Robotman and the Chief, their omissions are likely because of the circumstances of the former two's origins and the last one's characterization as a sociopathic control freak who deliberately caused the accidents that created the original Doom Patrol making it nearly impossible to market the characters towards young girls.
82	** The only ComicBook/MetalMen shown are Lead, Iron and Platinum, with Gold, Mercury, Tin, Nameless and Copper being left out.
83	** Hal Jordan and Jessica Cruz are the sole human representations of the Green Lantern Corps, with no sign whatsoever that Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner and Simon Baz exist in this continuity. In addition, while most of the other colors of the emotional spectrum are indicated to exist when Star Sapphire's ring is broken and various students and faculty of Super Hero High are infected with different shades of the emotional spectrum in "Mood Ring", Sinestro is the only shown Yellow Lantern, Bleez is the only Red Lantern to appear, no Lanterns affiliated with the Indigo Tribe or Orange Lantern Corps appear and the Blue Lantern Corps isn't even acknowledged.
84	** Jessica Cruz in the comics inherited the ring of Hal Jordan's Crime Syndicate counterpart Power Ring before officially joining the Green Lantern Corps at the end of the ''ComicBook/DarkseidWar'' storyline. This continuity cuts out the middleman by having a Green Lantern ring appear before her after Hal Jordan leaves Earth to continue his training on Oa, leaving out the element of Jessica first being the successor of the Crime Syndicate's Green Lantern equivalent.
85	** No characters associated with ''ComicBook/NewGods'' appear besides Granny Goodness, Mad Harriet, Lashina, Stompa, Speed Queen, Artemiz, Big Barda and Darkseid. It's particularly glaring that Big Barda's love interest Mister Miracle never shows up when this same franchise went to the trouble of retaining Wonder Woman, Carol Ferris and Mera's respective relationships with Steve Trevor, Hal Jordan and Aquaman.
86	* AllThereInTheManual: The graphic novels go more in depth with the characters and their backstories. Most notably, we are given more details on the paternal side of Wonder Woman's family (with her father Zeus and all Wonder Woman's half-siblings besides Ares appearing in ''Summer Olympus'') and the graphic novels feature the only appearances of this continuity's versions of Lex Luthor, Black Canary, Etrigan, June Moon/Enchantress, Vandal Savage and the Phantom Zone criminals General Zod, Non and Faora, to name just several characters who aren't shown in the web series and movies.
87	* AlternateContinuity: The Lego projects seem to be this. For example, the girls know Lena is evil even though the projects first came out a month before the Intergalactic Games movie, where they find out. The Female Furies in the main series are working under Granny Goodness, while Lashina is their leader in the Lego series. There are also some of the voice switches from the main series.
88	* AmazonBrigade: The main seven superheroines naturally fit this. The Female Furies are commonly used as enemies, too.
89	* AndTheAdventureContinues: The last episode has much of the cast vowing that they'll be ready to fight whenever Darkseid inevitably comes back for revenge.
90	* AnimationBump: During the climax of ''Hero of The Year''.
91	* AudienceSurrogate: Jessica Cruz knows nothing about the Franchise/GreenLantern Corps, hence Principal Waller has to explain all about the Green Lantern mythos to her and the audience.
92	* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Supergirl (blonde), Wonder Woman (brunette) and Batgirl (redhead) are the main characters. They fight supervillains together and are extremely close.
93	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: It's pretty much a recurring theme to have the characters brainwashed in some way. For example:
94	** In the "Super Hero High" movie, Granny Goodness and the Female Furies activate the Amethyst, brainwashing everyone. The only exceptions are Batgirl and Supergirl due to their special earrings. This goes on for only a few minutes.
95	** A major climax during the "Hero Of The Year" movie has Dark Opal and Eclipso activate a black gem that brainwashes Commissioner Gordon, Hippolyta, and the Kents. Earlier on, the Master Alchemist was hypnotized into helping them. The former part lasts one scene while the latter part takes up a good third of the movie.
96	** "Seeing Red" has everyone acting like jerks due to red Kryptonite. Starfire is the only one unaffected since she's Tamaranian.
97	** The Lego "Galactic Wonder" special has Queen Hippolyta and her army get hypnotized by Dark Opal's mind control gem during the climax. Then the tables turn on her when she's hypnotized.
98	** It's pretty much the focal point of the Lego "Brain Drain" movie. Katana and Bumblebee start out hypnotized, and stay that way until the end of the movie. News footage showed Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman being hypnotized info committing felonies. The 40 minute mark showed everyone else at Super Hero High being brainwashed from Dark Opal's mind control gem.
99	* BriarPatching: Starfire does this in "Seeing Red" to get to the red Kryptonite- as it makes the students angry and spiteful, Starfire says the useful actions would make her angry, so they comply.
100	* {{Bowdlerize}}: The [=YouTube=] channel's music video of "That's My Girl" by Music/FifthHarmony used for this show changes "Who's been working so damn hard?" to "Who's been working so so hard?" In addition, the verse "Nod if you've been played by every boo/Just tryna show you off/Thought he was the best you ever had/Until he cut you off" is omitted, shifting more focus on the song's message of female empowerment due to the franchise being targeted towards children, a demographic not usually informed about the issue of abusive relationships.
101	* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: Siren and Mera are this in ''Legends of Atlantis''.]]
102	* CallBack: Harley's fail montage from "Fall into Super Hero High" contains clips from the last episode.
103	* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: The Green Lantern ring was pretty relentless in following Jessica.
104	* TheCameo: Some of the other students attending Super Hero High are Arrowette, Sandman, Plastic Man, Huntress/Tigress (Paula Brooks), Jinx (based off of her ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' incarnation), Fire, Animal Man, Hawk, Dove (Dawn Granger).
105	** Students from other schools include Blackfire, Lobo, Sinestro, Bleez.
106	* CastAsAMask: In the ''Lego Supervillain High'' movie, Principal Taller, the principal of Uber High, is voiced by Tara Strong, while [[spoiler:Lena Luthor, who's secretly her in disguise, and orchestrated everything, is voiced by Romi Dames.]]
107	* CastingGag:
108	** Jonathan and Martha Kent are voiced by Creator/DeanCain and Creator/HelenSlater, who respectively played Franchise/{{Superman}} in ''Series/LoisAndClark'' and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in the ''Film/Supergirl1984'' film. This is also a double Casting Gag, as they also play the Danverses in ''Series/Supergirl2015'' and the Kents serve the same role the Danverses did in both the series and comics: being Kara's adoptive parents.
109	** Frost's Hero Of The Month short shows her being good at math. Creator/DanicaMcKellar, her voice actress, is an accomplished mathematician.
110	** "Hero Of The Year" has a scene of ComicBook/HarleyQuinn showing Big Barda around. Big Barda's voice actress is Misty Lee, the wife of Harley's co-creator Creator/PaulDini.
111	** Two of the characters Josh Keaton voices are Steve Trevor and Hal Jordan, whose [[WesternAnimation/WonderWoman2009 iconic]] [[WesternAnimation/GreenLanternEmeraldKnights portrayals]] have both also been provided by Nathan Fillion.
112	** Dark Opal is voiced by Creator/SeanSchemmel, in which this casting forshadows a character that's all [[Characters/DragonBallGokuBlack dark]].
113	* ChristmasEpisode:
114	** "It's a Superful Life" has the heroines do what they can to make the holidays enjoyable and pleasant for everyone at Super Hero High".
115	** "Fortress of Solidarity" concerns with Supergirl being upset about her biological parents being deceased and her surrogate parents Jonathan and Martha Kent appearing to not be able to visit her during the school setting up their Christmas tree.
116	** "Super Gift Swap" has everyone trying to avoid being stuck with Harley's present due to the gift having a suspicious ticking sound. [[spoiler:It turns out that it's ticking because the present contains a watch Harley stole from Batgirl's room.]]
117	* CombatStilettos: [[DefiedTrope Defied]]. One of Wondy's early costume designs has high heels, and they only serve to trip her up and get stuck in the ground, proving extremely impractical.
118	* CompositeCharacter: This continuity's Cyborg mainly resembles his depiction in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', but also has hair like his comics counterpart and has the chest insignia of his ''ComicBook/New52'' incarnation.
119	* CriminalAmnesiac: Batgirl in "My New Best Fiend" loses her memory after getting hit on the head and is manipulated by Catwoman into being her partner in crime.
120	* CrowdedCastShot: Featured in "Welcome to Super Hero High", with [[http://goo.gl/rqs2Xe 35 heroes included, no less]].
121	* DamnedByFaintPraise: In the final graphic novel tie-in "Spaced Out", ''Franchise/GreenLantern'' Jessica Cruz botches her first combat simulation. Coach Wildcat tries to reassure her: "Don't worry about it, kiddo. It wasn't the '''worst''' first try I've ever seen."
122	* DecompositeCharacter: In the comics, Oracle was Batgirl's new identity while she was in a wheelchair after being shot by the Joker. Here, Oracle is Batgirl's computerized assistant.
123	* DarkerAndEdgier: Though ''Legends of Atlantis'' still has its comedic moments from the show, it features PTSD, actual scary instances of near death (particularly Aquaman (though he was said to be [[NeverSayDie asleep forever]]) and Wonder Woman in the ColdOpen), and a teen supervillain (not counting Lena Luthor) who was ''evil from the get-go''. No heart, just mad for power.
124	* DenserAndWackier: Than the typical modern DC animated content. It's taken to a whole new level with the Lego projects.
125	* DisappointedInYou: Ivy says this to one of the plants in her Hero of the Month video.
126	* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: When Mrs. Clayface tries to get the Batjet's windshield wipers to work, she accidentally turns on the radio, which briefly plays the show's theme song "Get Your Cape On".
127	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Miss Martian was created as a Supergirl {{expy}}. The two go to the same high school in this series. Supergirl keeps her standard personality while Miss Martian is much more shy than usual.
128	* DominoMask: Batgirl wears a large, black domino mask and a hood instead of her usual cowl.
129	* EmbarrassingOldPhoto: Batgirl's "Hero of the Month" short ends with her father James Gordon embarrassing her by showing a baby picture where she's making a mess with spaghetti.
130	* EmbarrassingRelativeTeacher: Barbara Gordon decided to start attending [[SuperheroSchool Super Hero High]] as ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}. Her father, Jim Gordon, teaches classes at the school. Babs doesn't seem too embarrassed by her dad, however he does call her cutesy pet-names and tries to coddle her despite her protesting.
131	* EatTheCamera: "Franken-Ivy" has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene where one of Ivy's plants gets out of hand.
132	* EngineeredHeroics: Cheetah does this enough times that people [[CryingWolf eventually stop believing her]].
133	* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: At least a large amount of DC characters did in this continuity. Franchise/{{Superman}} and Franchise/{{Batman}} aren't shown, but WordOfGod is that they're both alumni.
134	* FaceHeelTurn: Sinestro goes from stern headmaster of Korugar Academy in "Intergalactic Games" to actively kidnapping Wonder Woman, the Flash, Starfire and Supergirl to rebuild its student body in "Ring Me Maybe" [[spoiler: and get beaten by brand-new Green Lantern Jessica Cruz.]]
135	* FaceYourFears: In "Ring Me Maybe" we see Jessica Cruz chosen to succeed Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, and she must do this against Sinestro.
136	* FriendToAllChildren:
137	** Wonder Woman's Hero Of The Month episode showed her saving a falling child.
138	** In the Intergalactic Games movie, Starfire is shown ditching an event to help to save people from a blazing fire, including a little girl.
139	** In "It's A Superful Life", one scene has Big Barda reading a Christmas poem to a child in the hospital, and said child is very touched by it.
140	* TheGhost:
141	** Superman is occasionally mentioned as [[FamedInStory an esteemed graduate of Super Hero High]] but, aside from having his own statue at the academy, never physically appears.
142	** Robin indirectly mentions Batman in "Kid Napped" when complaining about Batgirl babysitting him, with the closest the Caped Crusader makes to a physical appearance being a plushie of him appearing in the tie-in graphic novel ''Finals Crisis''.
143	** One character is Mrs. Clayface, who is the wife of Clayface, but her husband never actually appears.
144	* HeelFaceTurn: Big Barda, Blackfire, and Black Canary all get onscreen redemption arcs, Ivy is implied to have been a villain or at least a delinquent before coming to Super Hero High, and many of the school's faculty were once supervillains.
145	* HeroesLoveDogs: ComicBook/KryptoTheSuperdog and Ace the Bat-hound are ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}'s dogs, respectively.
146	* HighSchoolAU: The series' premise is an interpretation of the DCU where most of the characters are high school students. Here, the canon is rather confusing, as many characters' well-known backstories are left unknown or outright invalidated by their appearances here.
147	* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: In "Out of the Bottle", Art teacher Miss Moone has been taken over by her evil split personality, and Harley Quinn tries to reach her out:
148	-->'''Harley Quinn:''' Ms. Moone, I know you're in there. So listen up!\
149	'''Enchantress:''' (wheezing) June Moone is no more. I consumed her!\
150	'''Harley Quinn:''' Yeah, right! That's exactly what someone who '''didn't''' actually consume Ms. Moone, but was scared that my maneuvers might work, would say!
151	* ImOkay: A running gag in the webisodes.
152	* InSpiteOfANail: In this universe, the Kryptonian Science Council actually heed Jor-El's warnings but Krypton blows up before the evacuation fleet is ready, and Franchise/{{Superman}}, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/KryptoTheSuperdog -and possibly Zod and his men- are the only survivors. And even though Zod isn't banished to the Phantom Zone he still despises the House of El.
153	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Most characters who went through AdaptationalHeroism have become this, most notably Harley, Frost, Blackfire, and Gorilla Grodd, among many others.
154	* JetPack: Batgirl always carries around a bat-shaped jetpack.
155	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: "Quinn-tessential Harley" can serve as a rather unsubtle commentary on the character's popularity out-of-universe.
156	* LighterAndSofter: When compared to the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies, or even the {{Toyetic}} ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedAnimalInstincts Batman]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedMonsterMayhem Unlimited]]'', the webisodes take a while to have any of the heroes engage in typical superhero-ing adventures. Even ''WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperdog'' (or more appropriately ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'') had more instances of action or peril. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Apparently an]] [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools intentional decision]]. According to [[WordOfGod Shea Fontana and Aria Moffly]], the webisodes were meant to focus more on the comedic and "problem-solving through rational thought" aspects of a superhero HighSchoolAU; the graphic novels and direct-to-video movies feature more traditional superhero escapades from the start. Later episodes also add more action.
157	* LimitedAnimation: Once the final season hits and everybody involved knew that the series was going to be [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls replaced]], the animation budget plummets, replacing the unique and dynamic shots of the earlier seasons with static character models and black-screen fights. Big surprise this season was handled by Creator/RenegadeAnimation.
158	* {{Malaproper}}: Starfire, being an alien and corresponding with her [[ComicBook/Starfire2015 solo series]], doesn't entirely understand English syntax and doesn't understand the meanings of common expressions.
159	* TheManBehindTheMan: Lena turns out to have been backed by Brainiac.
160	* MundaneUtility: When not superheroing, yeah. SliceOfLife episodes also tend to work this way.
161	* MythologyGag: Harley Quinn's pajamas are patterned after her classic jester costume.
162	* NeverSayDie:
163	** Killer Frost is just called Frost here. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that this version isn't a supervillain, so "Killer" wouldn't make much sense as part of her name.
164	** Similarly, Killer Croc is just called Croc, though he's still called "Killer Croc" in the credits.
165	** Averted with Killer Moth, likely to emphasize his silliness and the contrast between his actual image and the image he'd like to convey.
166	* NotHyperbole: Carol Ferris was born flying. Literally.
167	-->'''Carol:''' Take it from me, there's nothing to fear. And I should know because I was born flying. Literally. I was born in a private jet flying over the Atlantic because my parents were needed in London for a Ferris Air board meeting that could not wait. And neither could I.
168	* ParentalBonus: Pretty much all of the lesser-known elements of DC Comics mythology that crop up everywhere, as most kids won't know what they are while older viewers will.
169	* PairTheSpares: Subverted in the ending of "Date with Disaster". Both [[spoiler:Principal Waller]] and [[spoiler:Commissioner Gordon]] lose their dates to the dance at Super Hero High so [[spoiler:Gordon]] suggests that they dance with each other. [[spoiler:Waller]] politely declines the offer.
170	* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Happens a lot, largely to characters who were originally spun off of others (for instance, a lot of ComicBook/{{Batman}} villains are Batgirl's enemies here), but also because they dig into obscure enemies to make up for all the big-name ones turned good. If you were watching this series blind, would you know that the Double Dare Twins were ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} villains?
171	* SaveTheVillain: Done in the ''Hits and Myths'' trade paperback when [[spoiler: the "Birds of Prey," here a band made of Black Canary, Black Condor and Magpie, steal the Batplane of Batgirl, but run out of fuel in mid-air and are about to crash-land onto the farm of Ma and Pa Kent]].
172	** Done again in ''Intergalactic Games'', where Wonder Woman saves Lena Luthor from a fiery DisneyDeath. [[UngratefulBastard She doesn't appreciate it, though.]]
173	* ScalesOfJustice: Fittingly the courtyard of Super Hero High has a statue of Lady Justice, complete with her scales.
174	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In "Intergalactic Games", Sinestro and the villain students (except Blackfire) fled Earth rather than help the heroes fight Brainiac. As a result, [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard they automatically forfeit the game]].
175	* SecretIdentity: Surprisingly averted. In this universe's Metropolis, "everybody's free to be whoever/whatever they are, so there's no need for secret identities and everyone can just let their flags fly". Emphasized when Barbara announces she's decided to become Batgirl by suiting up on stage, in front of her schoolmates. Lucius Fox does mention having one, however.
176	* SharePhrase: "[[Main/{{Catchphrase}} Believe in your superself]]" is the catchphrase of the web series, used by characters in this continuity multiple times in both animations and comics.
177	* ShoutOut:
178	** Lashina's comment before attacking in "Spring Prison Break"? [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron "Fine, I'll do it myself."]]
179	* SickEpisode: In "Cold Blooded", Frost comes down with a cold, and she keeps accidentally freezing things every time she sneezes. Later on Batgirl, Ivy, and Bumblebee spend all night trying to make her feel better. In the morning, she thanks them for helping her feel better, at which, ''they become sick''.
180	* SingleStrokeBattle: Wonder Woman and Lena Luthor do this in ''Intergalactic Games'' twice, both times [[AnArmAndALeg costing Lena the arms of the robot she's piloting.]]
181	* SmallRoleBigImpact: Dr. Fate only appears for one scene in the Lego Supervillain High, but his appearance helps set up the climax.
182	* SocialMediaBeforeReason: Part 1 of "Nevermore" has a teenager try to take a selfie in the middle of destruction that Raven accidentally caused. Batgirl is understandably annoyed when rescuing her.
183	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Carol Ferris' father Carl Ferris is shown to be still alive, when his comics counterpart died of a heart attack.
184	* SpinoffSendoff: The final chapter of the ''Spaced Out'' graphic novel tie-in has Zatanna show the girls an [[{{Multiverse}} alternate universe]] of the girls which turns out to be the [[IntraFranchiseCrossover 2019 version of the series]]. Amusingly both Harley and Ivy are a little put off that they're villains in that universe, while Frost takes solace in her obliviously wrong assumption that she doesn't have a villainous counterpart (when not only is the mainline version of Killer Frost a villain, but she lacks a counterpart in the 2019 continuity).
185	* SpiritualSuccessor: The show seems to be the combination of ''Gotham High'' (a pitched-but-never-materialized DC animated show starting adolescent versions of the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' cast) and ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever''.
186	* StableTimeLoop: The graphic novel tie-in ''Past Times at Super Hero High'' reveals that Amanda Waller was inspired to become principal of Super Hero High because Harley and Batgirl traveled back in time and defended her from Solomon Grundy during her youth.
187	* StealthPun: In "Fall into DC Super Hero High", Frost accidentally freezes her slice of pizza and gets it stuck to her tongue, and Catwoman helps her pull it off. In other words, "cat got your tongue".
188	* StepfordSmiler: The main characters look as cheerful and happy-go-lucky as they come. But in ''Out of the Bottle'', ComicBook/HarleyQuinn mentions she goes to a therapist (in fact she has enough traumas to fill a dozen of books... some of them brought about by a green-haired jerk bullying her in kindergarten), and Franchise/WonderWoman, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} admit they're going to a therapist, too. The group concurs that "It's hard to be a super hero without a little mental health help."
189	* SuperheroSchool: Super Hero High tells us this trope in its name. Though it's not above teaching supervillains (they seem to be infiltrators or will defect later in life, though, if they aren't simply good versions like Ivy and Harley).
190	* ThickLineAnimation: The animated versions have colored outlines, as opposed to the usual single black variant.
191	* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Happens when new student, Mera, has trouble fitting in and finding a use for her water manipulation powers until she defeats Firefly, who just happened to be setting fires next to the city waterfront.
192	* ToylessToylineCharacter: The only characters besides the main heroines to get their own dolls in the Mattel toyline are Starfire, Cheetah, Frost and Hawkgirl, with none of the male characters getting toys at all. This is slightly mitigated in the LEGO sub-line, where Katana is strangely the only one among the main heroines to not get her own minifigure and the only other characters to get their own minifigures are Steve Trevor, the Flash, Lena Luthor, Eclipso, Lashina, Mad Harriet and Krypto, plus the Action Figures line targeted at collectors at least included a figure of Beast Boy.
193	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Brainiac is a deadly serious, deadly dangerous NoNonsenseNemesis.
194	* TheVoiceless: Mr. Parasite never speaks, with his only utterances being sighs and exasperated grunts.
195	* TheWildcats: Referenced by making Wildcat the gym teacher.
196	* WolverinePublicity: Supergirl is prominently featured in the opening credits from the beginning of the webisodes, despite not actually appearing at all until the first special. It may have something to do with ''{{Series/Supergirl 2015}}''.
197	* WouldHurtAChild: The Intergalactic Games movie shows Lena Luthor willing to hurt the same little girl Starfire saved when inside her Mecha.
