This is a DC Universe, which is unrelated to DC Extended Universe, or Arrowverse, instead existing as its own thing.
This comprises of three series focusing on various DC Superheroes.
Tropes found in DC Universe 112:
- Adaptation Deviation: A few changes:
- Stargirl is now a metahuman rather than a Badass Normal, and Andrea Rojas isn't a villain, with Acrata being her superhero alter-ego.
- Lucifer and Chloe Decker exist on Earth-666, but are not the same as Lucifer's versions in terms of looks; Chloe Decker is a No Celebrities Were Harmed lookalike/Identical Stranger of Merritt Wever here, although ginger-haired and not blonde.
- Adaptation Species Change: Ava Sharpe is a regular human not an Artificial Human here.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl gets one of the biggest here, putting her closer to her Starwoman personality, and is also a meta-human.
- Adaptational Heroism: Andrea Rojas/Acrata is much more heroic than she ever was in Supergirl (2015), and her Acrata alter-ego is more daring and less villainous than before.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Andrea Rojas is a Nice Girl here and an ally of Kara Danvers/Supergirl.
- Adaptational Sexuality: Ava Sharpe is straight rather than lesbian here.
- Adapted Out: A few iconic DC Characters are adapted out:
- Batman does not appear in this continuity.
- Oliver Queen/Arrow does not appear at all.
- Hawk and Dove do not appear in this continuity, partly because the creator wanted to focus on other characters.
- Swamp Thing does not appear here since he hasn't been established as appearing on any Earth.
- Sara Lance does not exist in this continuity, well, not the one from Legends of Tomorrow.
- Alternate Continuity: Despite having the aesthetics of an Arrowverse production, it is unrelated to DC Extended Universe, or the Arrowverse, this is in its own universe and Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) had no effect here, and there are some major divergences:
- Stargirl is Courtney Whitmore, but is a meta-human here who got her powers from touching an ancient staff, and has an Age Lift. She's also in her 20s, and never served with the Justice League as in Legends of Tomorrow and never met King Arthur, and she also is very different to her persona in Stargirl.
- Killer Frost/Caitlin Snow still has a Split Personality but was never villainous and the split personalities mesh well, leaving notes to one another.
- Barry Allen is The Flash here, but is even more of a Nice Guy than The Flash (2014).
- Kara Danvers/Supergirl knows Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl here via One Degree of Separation, but in this continuity, they work together.
- The Joker is Ambiguously Human here, and rather than being a Complete Monster, is more of an Anti-Villain.
- Harley Quinn is a Harmless Villain here and Friendly Enemy to Kara Danvers, Caitlin Snow and Stargirl, despite this not happening in regular DC Universe canon.
- Felicity Smoak is a Girly Girl whose Love Interest is not revealed until later in the season, but he's a Chekhov's Gun.
- Big Eater: Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl really has a thing for M&M's and can eat a few large packets in one go.
- Breather Episode: "A Day with Andrea", which is focused on Andrea Rojas has no superheroic action, instead being something of a gentler episode focusing on Andrea's quest to run her first Dances and Balls-type party. There's No Antagonist, and the main conflict comes from Race Against the Clock to get it started.
- City of Adventure: National City is one of the main ones here, with meta-humans etc.
- Identical Stranger: Courtney Whitmore meets her doppelganger during one episode; the doppelganger is actually a Chekhov's Gunman revealing the existence of Earth-2 in The Multiverse. Another episode, a Lower-Deck Episode focused on Felicity Smoak reveals another existence of an alternate Earth.
- Lighter and Softer: By comparison with the DC Extended Universe, and the stakes are far lower, but no less frightening.
- Mythology Gag: In one episode, a nod to Reign is made:Supergirl: I thought Reign had been and gone. Well, looks like she faked her own death in June 2018, or I've heard about another Earth's version of her. Am I going mad?
- Not as You Know Them: With the exception of Barry Allen/The Flash and some of The Flash (2014) characters, pretty much every character is this way, even if they look the same.
- Swapped Roles: In one episode, Matthew Kim/Melting Point accidentally swaps Stargirl and Supergirl's abilities, coming with a Clothing Switch and Welcome to My World comes into play.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl and M&M's... she will try and eat them any chance that she can get.
