History Trivia / DCSuperHeroGirls

** Tara Strong reprises her respective ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' and ''VideoGame/LegoAdaptationGame'' roles as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.

* CastingGag:
** Jonathan and Martha Kent are voiced by Creator/DeanCain and Creator/HelenSlater, who respectively played Franchise/{{Superman}} in ''Series/LoisAndClark'' and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in the ''Film/Supergirl1984'' film. This is also a double Casting Gag, as they also play the Danverses in ''Series/Supergirl2015'' and the Kents serve the same role the Danverses did in both the series and comics: being Kara's adoptive parents.
** Frost's Hero Of The Month short shows her being good at math. Creator/DanicaMcKellar, her voice actress, is an accomplished mathematician.
** "Hero Of The Year" has a scene of ComicBook/HarleyQuinn showing Big Barda around. Big Barda's voice actress is Misty Lee, the wife of Harley's co-creator Creator/PaulDini.
** Two of the characters Josh Keaton voices are Steve Trevor and Hal Jordan, whose [[WesternAnimation/WonderWoman2009 iconic]] [[WesternAnimation/GreenLanternEmeraldKnights portrayals]] have both also been provided by Nathan Fillion.
** Dark Opal is voiced by Creator/SeanSchemmel, in which this casting forshadows a character that's all [[Characters/DragonBallGokuBlack dark]].

** Creator/{{Lynn}} voice both Poison Ivy and Lena Luthor.
** Creator/WataruTakagi voice both Cyborg and Green Lantern.

* TalkingToHerself:
** Creator/TaraStrong voices both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. Older fans might see this as a weird coincidence not only for the fact that they're both normally Batman villainesses, but...[[HoYay well]]. She also voices Raven.
** Grey [=DeLisle=] voices Wonder Woman, Giganta, Silver St. Cloud, Platinum, and [[CrossdressingVoices Damian Wayne]]. The Lego Brain Drain movie has her also voicing Lois Lane.

* The WikiRule: [[http://dcsuperherogirls.wikia.com/wiki/DC_Super_Hero_Girls_Wikia DC Super Hero Girls Wiki]].

** The ''Lego Supervillain High'' movie has Dr. Fate voiced by his ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' voice actor, Kevin Michael Richardson.

** Jonathan and Martha Kent are voiced by Creator/DeanCain and Creator/HelenSlater, who respectively played Franchise/{{Superman}} in ''Series/LoisAndClark'' and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in the 1984 ''Film/{{Supergirl}}'' film. This is also a double Casting Gag, as they also play the Danverses in ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'' and the Kents serve the same role the Danverses did in both the series and comics: being Kara's adoptive parents.

** AdaptationalHeroism (right)

** Creator/GreyDeLisle Griffin reprises the role of Franchise/WonderWoman from both ''WesternAnimation/JLAAdventuresTrappedInTime'' and the ''WesternAnimation/LEGODCComicsSuperHeroes'' DVD movies. She also reprises the role of Platinum from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueGodsAndMonsters''. The Lego Brain Drain movie sees her voicing Lois Lane again, reprising the role from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom'' and other Lego projects.

* WordOfGod: On whether Mrs. Clayface was this universe's Lady Clay or a CanonForeigner, Shea Fontana has stated [[https://twitter.com/SheaFontana/status/921529337303597056 it's both, but mostly the former]].

** The ultimate fact that the entire franchise was rebooted with her involvement is a testament to this.

* ActorAllusion: ''[=#TheLateBatsby=]'' [[WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers once]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic again]] has a Creator/JohnDeLancie voiced character going up against a Creator/TaraStrong voiced character associated with purple.
* CastingGag:
** The changes in the appearance and personality of Zatanna coupled with [[Creator/KariWahlgren Kari Wahlgren's]] performance seems to invoke [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse the previous version of Charmcaster]] that she voiced.
** He didn't voice Hal, but Creator/JasonSpisak did still end up voicing the most prominent character on ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries''.
* CrossDressingVoices:
** Creator/FredTatasciore voices Harley's pet hyenas Ethel and Lucy.
** In "[=#AdventuresInBunnySitting=]", Creator/KariWahlgren, who voices Zatanna, also voices Tommy.
** Jessica [=McKenna=] voices Garth.

* DevelopmentGag: In "#Frenemies, Part 2", Batgirl refers to the Super Hero Girls as her "[=SBFFs=]"—WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever.
* EarlyBirdRelease:

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Poison Ivy and Jessica Cruz have a somewhat frosty dynamic, while Creator/CristinaMilizia and Creator/MyrnaVelasco are [[https://mobile.twitter.com/MiliziaCristina/status/1104487560556949504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1104487560556949504&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2F2%2Ftwitter.min.html%231104487560556949504 best friends]] in real life.
* MeaningfulReleaseDate:
** The show officially premiered on March 8, 2019, which was International Women's Day, which was fitting for a show about girl power.
** "#Frenemies", featuring both the DC Super Hero Girls and Super Villain Girls, came out on October 11, 2019, also known as International Day Of The Girl.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Tara Strong voices Batgirl here instead of Creator/MaeWhitman (original series, seasons 1-4) or Creator/AshlynSelich (Lego projects; original series starting in season 5)
** Nicole Sullivan voices Supergirl here [[https://mobile.twitter.com/user/status/1018925901071855616 instead]] of Anais Fairweather.
** Lois Lane is voiced by Creator/GreyDeLisle Griffin and not Alexis G. Zall.
** Production wise, Sam Riegel is the voice director instead of Colette Sunderman.
** Creator/FredTatasciore voices James Gordon instead of Creator/TomKenny.
** [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/1091953577910722560 If]] this tweet from Lauren is any indication, then Creator/CristinaMilizia does not reprise the role of Jessica Cruz, with Creator/MyrnaVelasco taking on the role.
*** In turn, Cristina voices Poison Ivy despite Tara Strong already being in the cast.
** Creator/KimberlyBrooks voices Bumblebee instead of Teala Dunn.
** Creator/KariWahlgren [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/1097945192009687041 voices]] Star Sapphire instead of Creator/JessicaDiCicco.
** Creator/CreeSummer voices Catwoman [[https://mobile.twitter.com/iamcreesummer/status/1096240391572123653 rather than]] Creator/CristinaPucelli, and voices Hippolyta instead of Julianne Grossman.
** Creator/PhilLaMarr, Creator/JasonSpisak, and Creator/YuriLowenthal voice Flash, Hal Jordan, and Steve Trevor instead of Creator/JoshKeaton.
** [[Creator/CassandraLee Cassandra Lee Morris]] replaces Creator/RomiDames as Lena Luthor.
** Creator/TaraStrong voices [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Chevistian1/status/1112169335160737794 Cheetah]] instead of Creator/AshleyEckstein.
** The Latin American Spanish dub suffered a meta-cast shift, as the dub is done in Mexico, rather than either Venezuela or Chile like the 2015 series, a change made on the basis that ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' was also dubbed in Mexico.
** Rina Hoshino voices Katana instead of Creator/StephanieSheh.
** Creator/GreyDeLisle Griffin voices Starfire instead of Creator/HyndenWalch.
* OutOfOrder:
** The episode "#Beeline" featured Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Giganta, Star Sapphire, and Livewire as all already part of a villain team as well as the Super Hero Girls being familiar with them when it first aired. Prior to this however, only Star Sapphire had been formally introduced as a villain in the show proper in [=#HateTriangle=]. Livewire, Giganta, and Catwoman make their debut as villains in "[=#ShockItToMe=]", "[=#SheMightBeGiant=]", and "[=#FightAtTheMuseum=]" respectively, all of which though aired after "#Beeline". Furthermore in "[=#FightAtTheMuseum=]", not only does Catwoman mention having just recently arrived in Metropolis from Gotham but at the end of the episode, she states she needs to find "new friends" after her encounter with the Super Hero Girls. "#Beeline" being out of order is ultimately showcased by the later aired two part episode "#Frenemies". Not only does "#Frenemies" mark Harleen just having moved to Metropolis but it also features the formation of the villain team.
** "[=#SheMightBeGiant=]" is chronologically where Bumblebee debuts her proper suit that's been upgraded from the one she wore in the premiere episodes of the show proper. This episode however aired after a number of episodes which featured Bumblebee already in her new suit.
* PlayingAgainstType:
** When it comes to DC animation, Creator/WillFriedle is generally known for voicing heroes, such as [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold Blue Beetle]], [[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnlimitedAnimalInstincts Nightwing]], [[Anime/BatmanNinja Red Robin]], ComicBook/GreenArrow, and even [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Batman himself]]. Here, he voices Lex Luthor.
** A lot of the characters Creator/KimberlyBrooks voices are either tough like [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Jasper]], authoritative like [[WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender Allura]], or cool and laid back like [[WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins Surfer Girl]]. Here, she voices Bumblebee, who's reworked into being more shy and reserved unlike her other portrayals.
** Creator/JasonSpisak plays Kilowog, who is much bigger and burlier than most of the characters he's played, and has a deeper voice.
** Even ignoring that she was the previous voice of Jessica Cruz, Creator/CristinaMilizia typically voices good characters such as [[WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins LaLa the koala]] and [[WesternAnimation/BunsenIsABeast Darcy]] , unlike Poison Ivy here.
* RecycledScript: The short that was shown in front of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'', ''[=#TheLateBatsby=]'', shares its plot (Batgirl tries to meet up with her friends to fight a criminal, only to get there before them) with one of the ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' shorts.
* RefittedForSequel: Okay, it's not a sequel, but the same idea applies. Back when Lauren tried turning ''Super Best Friends Forever'' into a [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/1104614414722859008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1104614414722859008&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ftwitter.min.html%231104614414722859008 series]], she imagined a somewhat frosty dynamic between Donna and Diana. She used this dynamic here, but with Diana and Hippolyta.
* RoleReprise:
** Creator/GreyDeLisle Griffin reprises the role of Wonder Woman from the web series, ''WesternAnimation/JLAAdventuresTrappedInTime'' and the ''WesternAnimation/LegoDCComicsSuperHeroes'' movies. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4TLDqpn_S0 She's also]] voicing Giganta (returning from the web series) and Lois Lane (the ''LEGO DC Super Hero Girls'' movies, ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom'', and the aforementioned JLA and Lego movies).
** Creator/TaraStrong reprises the role of Batgirl from ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'', ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheNewBatmanAdventures'', and Raven from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. She's also reprising her role as Harley Quinn again, of whom she's been the main voice for since 2011.
** Nicole Sullivan reprises her role as ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} from ''Super Best Friends Forever''.
** Creator/KariWahlgren takes on the role of Zatanna, having previously been the character in the video game ''VideoGame/JusticeLeagueHeroes''. She also reprises the role of [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/1097945192009687041 Star Sapphire]] from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''. [[note]] Though she only voiced her as Carol Ferris in that series. [[/note]]
** Creator/DeeBradleyBaker reprises the respective roles of Ace and Krypto from [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]] and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold''.
** Creator/KeithFerguson reprises the role of Alfred from [[VideoGame/LegoBatman Lego Batman 2]] .
** Creator/PhilLaMarr reprises the role of Cyborg from ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperFriends''
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: While both WB and the official accounts give the show plenty of promotion, Cartoon Network has not done a good job with promoting it. While treated somewhat better than ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' due to having better timeslots, the first season has suffered from continually shifting timeslots and, after episode 13, only airing when there's a new episode, with nary a rerun in sight outside of Boomerang on the weekends.
* ShortRunInPeru: Several of the Super Shorts were uploaded to Cartoon Network UK's Website/YouTube account ahead of their official premiere on the US ''DCSHG'' account; these shorts were not geo-fenced.
* TalkingToHimself:
** "Let Them Eat Pie" has Grey [=DeLisle=] Griffin voicing her 3 main characters of the series: Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, and Giganta.
** Creator/TaraStrong voices both halves of the Barbara Gordon/Harleen Quinzel best friend duo.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Concept art shows Diana wearing glasses as a civilian.
