Trivia / Young Justice

• Executive Meddling:
  • 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.
  • This resulted in a couple of Take That! 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 Shout-Out to Spider Jerusalem (and possibly to Protector, a Robin expy created for 80's Teen Titans PSA comics when licensing contracts prevented the Boy Wonder's use).

• The Merch: The last few waves of Hasbro's JLA toyline, intended to act as this to JLA (1997) also acted as this for this series, including figures of Robin, Superboy, Impulse, and Red Tornado.
• Recursive Adaptation: The Teen Titans (2003) cartoon was initially planned as an adaptation of Young Justice, but the number of Legacy Characters was too much of a problem. The solution: Re Vision the Wolfman-Perez Titans in the style of Young Justice!
  • And now we got a Re Vision of Young Justice more in line with Geoff Johns' Titans. Make of that what you will.
• Shout-Out: Given the light hearted tone of the book they were able to cram these in at their leisure:
  • Cassie's room contains a slew of shoutouts via thinly retitled band and TV-show posters (Frontstreet Boys=Backstreet Boys, Space Girls=Spice Girls, Dalton's Creek=Dawson's Creek, Wendy the Werewolf Stalker=Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and a recolored Pikachu toy.
  • In Issue 20 Klarion watches the Parallel Porn Title The Bare Witch Project referencing The Blair Witch Project
  • The "Wendy the Werewolf Stalker" show the team watches is a homage to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
  • The cover of issue 35 states Lex Wants You! with Lex Luthor pointing at the viewer in front of an American flag.
  • The cover of issue 48 has the text A Death in the Family prominently displayed although the issue's actual title is "Fighting Maad, Part 2: D.O.A.".
  • The cover of issue 49 has Empress shouting My name is Empress. You Killed My Father. Prepare to Die! Missing only the Hello! of Inigo Montoya's trope laden quote from The Princess Bride.
• Toyless Toyline Character: The JLA toyline didn't include Lagoon Boy, the Ray, or the female members of the team.
