** Prior to the members of the team (Black Canary, Huntress, and Cassandra) being confirmed, there was a misconception that Harley was on the team, even though no one involved with the project specifically said that. Though given the film's title and Harley being the main character, it was hardly unreasonable for people to assume such. Ultimately, she does take part in the OriginStory of the team but departs before it is formally established.

* AcclaimedFlop: Despite the fact that many critics seemed to enjoy the movie and the film has gained a cult audience, its box office numbers were terrible (the lowest in the franchise at the time it released), hit with a one-two punch of the release of the much more family friendly ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' the week after release and the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic striking soon after. The movie at least made back its production budget, but it is believed to have done so at a loss when accounting for marketing costs. It’s also perennially at the top of Creator/HBOMax's streaming charts and was singled out as one of the most-streamed movies in the service's first year, on top of being successful as an on-demand release, making this a case of VindicatedByCable.

* VindicatedByCable: As mentioned above, the movie posted underwhelming box office but saw an increase in attention once it was made available as an on-demand feature and a part of HBO Max. This eventually led to a successful push for a ''Black Canary'' spin-off film with the streaming service in mind.
