Evil is Sexy has been disambiguated, and nothing on that index fits the audience reaction of finding the villains attractive.


* EvilIsSexy:
** Killer Frost looks cool as she fights enemies in her SpyCatsuit while showing off her ImpossibleHourGlassFigure. Firestorm certainly notices.
** Cheetah is already gaining some fans for her appeal as a (technically) nude, athletic CatGirl.
** Circe, a VainSorceress with immense beauty who seeks to rule the world with a lover by her side.
** ComicBook/PoisonIvy, naturally. This version seems to be more classily dressed than the DCAU version.
** ComicBook/LexLuthor for some viewers, thanks to Creator/JamesWoods' voice.

* TheScrappy: The show's incarnation of Hippolyta is already earning some scorn from fans thanks to her obnoxious DoesNotLikeMen attitude and coming across as {{ungrateful|Bastard}} to the male heroes who saved her island. It doesn't help that she was willing to allow her own daughter Diana to die by Circe's hands just to ensure that the villainess would never beat her.

Dork Age was renamed


** One of the episodes is called "''Superman Red vs Superman Blue''". The reason why the titular characters' appearance is such a surprise is because they're from the [[DorkAge fan-despised]] ''Superman Red/Superman Blue'' story arc, which was based off of an old Silver-Age "Imaginary Story" and split Superman into two EnergyBeings to try to change Superman forever ([[TheyChangedItNowItSucks it didn't last]]). The storyline has never had any actual representation on any other form of media up until this point, with the closest thing being light allusions.

* WinBackTheCrowd: From the clips released, many fans have taken a massive warming to the series, noting how they mix the action and adventure of the old DCAU with the comedy of the initial ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' cartoon series, with some seeing this as a SpiritualSuccessor to the series. Some even see this as an apology for alienating fans via ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' But because of Cartoon Network doing squat to advertise the series, not many fans could actually see the show and there are several people that are unaware of the show's existence.

Flame bait now.


* WhatAnIdiot: In "Luthor in Paradise", Circe had managed to turn Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman into trees, but not before finding out that Lex Luthor planned to betray her. Infuriated by this, she proceeds to take the oculus away from him.\\
'''You'd expect:''' With Lex Luthor at her mercy, she would leave the heroes as they were and deal with Lex herself. After that, she could escape without ever having to worry about Wonder Woman again.\\
'''Instead:''' Circe reverses her spell on all three heroes and lets them have their way with Lex while she tries to sneak off. Considering only one of them even needs to bother with catching Lex, she doesn't get far.

* MagnificentBastard: [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] is the diabolical criminal mastermind and ArchEnemy of Batman. Joker's laughing gas bomb remains hidden in Gotham until 5 minutes before it blows, where Joker [[GracefulLoser is undeterred when it is finally found]]. Upon acquiring a Mother Box, Joker breaks Lex Luthor out of prison and takes treats him to the "Best Day Ever", where his [[BatmanGambit mysterious motive is]] attracting superheroes from all over the world to follow them to Lex's hideout where a powerful bomb awaits, so all the heroes will be caught in the blast radius. After kidnapping Batman, Joker leaves a trail of clues to his captive, which only the Riddler can make sense of, but even he is outsmarted by the Joker who leaves a trap that would activate and kill Batman if a riddle was correctly answered, knowing Riddler cannot resist answering. In spite of his penchant for mischief, Joker can just as easily [[VillainsOutShopping be doing something harmless like attending Booster Gold's Watchtower Tour]]. Just as cunning as ever, this Joker also shows himself to be [[AdaptationalNiceGuy far less cruel and sadistic]] than usual.

* HarsherInHindsight: In the "Lasso of Lies" short, Wonder Woman uses the Lasso of Truth on Booster Gold, and during his truth-compelled rant he mentions that he's "Terrible at caring for the things he loves". This becomes harsh after watching the episode "She Wore Red Velvet" where we learn that [[spoiler:Booster is in love with an heiress from his time, and that he was going to marry her, but he was broke at the time, so during the wedding, he traveled back in time to gain enough money to support the two of them. She became the villain Red Velvet in the future, pursuing him for revenge, and everyone assumed it was for not returning and so Batman and Wonder Woman rush him back to the altar... and it turns out she doesn't hate him for not returning, but for being the ''worst husband ever.'' When Red Velvet tells the younger Margo what it's like, Margo takes off her wedding ring and dumps Booster after hearing some of the things her future self says. Red Velvet fades, having never become a villain because she was better off without Booster]].
