Deleted line(s) 7,13 (click to see context) :
* Rachel calling Dawn "[[Series/GameOfThrones Khaleesi]]" once they bond is this for a number of reasons:
** Creator/JasonMomoa, the actor who played the husband of said character, plays ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} in the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'' at the time of the series premiere, a role Creator/AlanRitchson (Hank Hall's actor) himself played on ''Series/{{Smallville}}''.
** Speaking of ''Smallville'', its version of Mera was played by Creator/ElenaSatine, who was the runner-up for the "Khaleesi" role.
** And speaking of Momoa, his female lead as the eponymous ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian2011'' was played by Creator/RachelNichols, who plays Rachel's biological MissingMom in the show.
** ''[=GoT=]'' cast member Creator/IainGlen is ultimately cast as [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne / Batman]].
* In the Japanese dub, Creator/YuukiKaji's role as Robin is pretty hilarious if you consider his most famous role as Eren Yeager in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': Leaving aside the sole name of the franchise, his role in this series is a mix between Eren and, ironically enough, Levi, his senior officer in the manga and the anime series, as Levi is also a no-nonsense protagonist with acrobatic abilities who was trained by a brutal man (Batman/Bruce Wayne and Kenny respectively) who have to fight against [[HumanoidAbomination man-eating beings]] named ''[[{{Irony}} Titans]]''. Extra points that, much later in both the manga and the anime, Eren became a Titan.
* Iain Glen plays Bruce Wayne on this show. [[https://youtu.be/hSmoOZ0BhE8 He also played Nite-Owl]] in a 2003 test footage for a ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' movie.

* It was commonly stated by many that Creator/GregBerlanti would be a better choice to run the [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse cinematic universe]] due to his DC shows being considerably lighter. Then the trailer for this series dropped and he was hit with the same accusations of making heroes needlessly darker and grittier. It's arguably even more damning for Berlanti as Creator/ZackSnyder never resorted to having heroes say "fuck" for cheap shock value and his films were visually amazing in contrast to the [[WTHCostumingDepartment other]] [[SpecialEffectsFailure complaints]] against this series.
* Speaking of the infamous "Fuck Batman", it was frequently cited as an example of the series being another humourless DarkerAndEdgier reboot. The full scene, though still being [[BloodierAndGorier brutally violent]], actually starts with a joke of Robin appearing and all the mooks immediately looking up in search of Batman, with Robin giving an exasperated "''Fuck'' Batman" after taking them all down single-handed.
* And then the "even Snyder never resorted to heroes saying fuck" criticism becomes even more hilarious when Snyder revealed that ''Batman'' would drop an F-bomb in [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague the Snyder Cut]], if it wasn't already noted that he had already had Batman say "shit" in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''.

* Deathstroke getting another adaptation has lead to the fandom joking "not Deathstroke again" and how they are gonna pay him to stop appearing everywhere. The thing is, between 2015 and 2020, Deathstroke had a sudden burst of multiple featurings, in no less than 9 adaptations where he had a prominent role, being either TheHeavy or a VillainProtagonist: ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'', ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTheJudasContract'', ''Film/JusticeLeague2017'', ''WesternAnimation/DeathstrokeKnightsAndDragons'', ''Anime/BatmanNinja'', ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019'', ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'', and, of course, ''Series/Titans2018''.
* The series exists on streaming services to begin with because Creator/{{TNT}} passed on the series. Then, in July 2021, the channel started airing the show anyway.
