''DC Super Hero Girls'' is a 2019 television series produced by Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation and based on the ''Franchise/DCSuperHeroGirls'' franchise. It premiered on Creator/CartoonNetwork on March 8, 2019. The show is developed by Creator/LaurenFaust, known for her work on [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls countless]] [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends other]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic animated]] [[WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder series]], including the ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' shorts which effectively serve as this show's predecessor.
A [[ContinuityReboot separate continuity]] from the original [[WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls web-series]], this incarnation follows [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara "Babs" Gordon]], a Batman-fanatic whose father's new job, unfortunately, has them move across the river from Gotham City to Metropolis. Thankfully, the usual stress of moving to a new place is eased by her not only quickly finding a new group of friends to hang out with, but all of those friends also being fellow aspiring superheroes: [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Diana Prince]], [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]], [[ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} Zatanna "Zee" Zatara]], [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Jessica Cruz]], and Karen Beecher (Bumblebee). With Diana as team leader, these girls now set out to [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld hone their skills, fight crime, and hopefully pass next period's math test]].
The series kicked off with a theatrical short, ''[[https://youtu.be/v5j_9rDh3TE [=#TheLateBatsby=]]]'', which was shown alongside ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies''. On January 10, 2019, said short was uploaded to the official Website/YouTube page, with various other shorts and character trailers being uploaded in the following weeks leading to the show's premiere and beyond.
Starting from August 2019, the Season 1 episodes are made available for streaming on Creator/{{Netflix}}, following the episodes' debuts on both Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Boomerang}}.
----
!!''DC Super Hero Girls'' provides examples of:
* AbsenteeActor:
** The short "[=#SpeedyDelivery=]" is centered around the Flash and does not feature any of the titular characters.
** Likewise, the short "[=#EqualTights=]" is centered around Superman and Hal Jordan and doesn't have the titular characters (but it does feature Poison Ivy).
** The short "[=#RemoteUncontrolled=]" stars Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn and, once again, the titular characters are nowhere to be seen.
** Inverted with ''all'' of the hero and villain girls & boys who are in Metropolis High being featured in the episode "[=#ScrambledEggs=]", with only Doris (Giganta), Barbi (Cheetah), and Lois Lane missing.
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: {{Inverted|Trope}} with Jessica Cruz, who has her PTSD skipped over in this adaptation, as it would be too dark for a comedy.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: While Catwoman isn't dumb by any means, she's described [[https://www.cbr.com/dc-super-hero-girls-writers-interview-sdcc/ as the brains]] of her villain group, preferring to avoid fighting herself.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Also counts as AdaptationalBadass; Steve Lombard, a sports reporter for the Daily Planet in the comics, is a football player with a sneaker line in the show.
* AdaptationalModesty: Due to RevisitingTheRoots, Harley's scrapped her New 52-inspired outfit for her original one. Though, in a bit of clever compromise, her civilian wear is still based on the New 52 style.
* AdaptationalSkimpiness:
** Wonder Woman, who is no longer wearing pants while in costume. She's back to something resembling her classic design, though the bottom is still a Greco-Roman skirt like the [[Film/WonderWoman2017 DCEU version]] rather than the usual LeotardOfPower. Unique here, though, are spaulders on her shoulders.
** Poison Ivy dresses more like her typical comic book self, and not even like one of the more modest ones either.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Technically speaking, most of the Super Villain Girls all get this to varying degrees compared to their current comicbook alternatives, half are heroes. Then there are the characters who were originally villains but made heroes in the [[WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls original web series]] like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
* AdaptationDyeJob:
** Batgirl's costume has changed from its contemporary dark blue design to classic purple and yellow.
** Zatanna's black hair is now a sparkling, glowing purple that transitions from a normal shade to a lighter one.
* AdaptationNameChange: Harley's hyenas are named [[Series/ILoveLucy Lucy and Ethel]] instead of [[Creator/AbbottAndCostello Bud and Lou]].
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Both in comparison to their main comic book portrayals and their previous portrayals in the last generation of the ''DCSHG'' franchise:
** Supergirl is more rebellious, tomboyish, and brash than her usual NiceGirl persona. This personality, however, was also used in Lauren Faust's ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever''.
** Batgirl is spunkier than before, which also comes from ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever''.
** Bumblebee is shyer than in her previous portrayals.
** Jessica Cruz is less of a former shut-in recovering from trauma than she is in the comics, and now a GranolaGirl.
* {{Adorkable}}: Batgirl is this so much that it's no surprise some prefer to compare her to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]] instead of Pinkie Pie.
* AgeLift: On top of possibly every DC superhero and villain being teenagers in this series, Lena Luthor is now a child.
* TheAllegedCar: Jessica's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Voyager#First_generation_(S;_1984–1990) '80s minivan]] in "[=#TheSlowAndTheFurious=]". It clearly shows its age.
* AllForNothing: Twice in the shorts.
** "[=#CandyCrushed=]" had Livewire and Giganta fight over a vending machine's last candy bar, [[spoiler: only for Selina to steal it while they do so.]]
** "[=#PurseScratcher=]" has Selina and Barbi eyeing the same purse, and change into Catwoman and Cheetah to take it from the other. [[spoiler: In the end, Selina wins the fight, but Zee snags the purse before she is able to.]]
* AlternateContinuity: This incarnation of the franchise has few ties to the preceding 2015 webseries or the LEGO projects beyond the basic "superheroes in high school" concept.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: While they're clearly meant as a foil to Kara, the Danvers are so outwardly nice and loving, they’d make even the most loving and proper daughter cringe.
* AnachronicOrder: How they are shown after the pilot.
* AnnoyingPatient: Supergirl in "[=#KaraCare=]", after being exposed to Kryptonite during a fight with Metallo, quickly drives Diana batty by her exigent demands as she recovers.
* ApologisesALot: Bumblebee is this way. In the pilot, Karen tries to angrily shut the door in Barbara's face but keeps on apologizing, leading Babs to just shut it herself.
* ArtEvolution: The designs are like a mix between ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' as opposed to the more mainstream, thick line look of the original series.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The out-of-nowhere GenderFlip for Harley's hyenas from Bud and Lou to [[Series/ILoveLucy Lucy and Ethel]] only makes her dominance of them less explicable; given that hyenas are matriarchal, males are far more likely to submit to a female than females are.
* ArtisticLicenseSports: Diana doesn't tie her [[RapunzelHair waist-length]] hair back or remove her earrings when practicing her vault for the school's gymnastics team, both of which are ''major'' safety hazards as they could get caught or wrapped around something while performing. Also, Diana is already wearing the official team uniform, even though [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment she's not actually on the team yet.]]
* ArtShift: Bumblebee's appearance becomes much more cartoony when she shrinks down.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever:
** Supergirl and Zatanna has to fight a multistory monster made out of a swarm of rabbits after Zatanna misphrases one of her spells.
** Supergirl again, taking on a larger-than-normal Shaggy Man in "[=#StainedFighter=]".
* AwesomeButImpractical: Zatanna's showboating has her do incredible light shows to do fairly minor things. (That frequently go wrong anyway.)
* BadassInDistress: One episode has Batgirl encountering The Flash. Tied up by bank robbers with animal masks.
-->'''Batgirl:''' Flash?! What happened?!\\
'''Flash:''' [[NoodleIncident Dude, I'm as surprised as you are.]]
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Jess and Karen babysitting Dick Grayson and his rambunctious friends in "[=#TweenTitans=]".
* BaitAndSwitch:
** In "[=#PictureDaze=]", when it becomes blatantly apparent to him that Carol is stalking him again, Hal desperately searches for a place to hide. It seems like Carol manages to catch him, only for him to turn around and find that the person who surprised is the relatively harmless Jessica Cruz.
** At first it appears that Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are pals here, like they're always shown to be in comics and every previous animation. But quickly it's shown that Ivy can barely tolerate Harley in this continuity.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: When Barbi Minerva and Diana Prince both perform equally impressive vaults in tryouts for the gymnastics team, their coach is impressed enough to suggest making the two of them be co-captains. Barbi protests...and then immediately regrets it.
-->'''Barbi:''' ''(when the coach proposes making her be co-captains with Diana Prince)'' What? Absolutely not!
-->'''Coach:''' Well, okay. ''(Barbi smirks)'' Congratulations, [[BaitAndSwitch Prince!]] You're the new team captain!
* BeTheBall: In "[=#SheMightBeGiant=]", Giganta grabs Batgirl and uses her as a ball to play some bowling with mannequins as the pins.
* BeyondTheImpossible: In "[=#CrashCourse=]", Diana manages to stall the car before even leaving the parking lot, which should be virtually impossible for an automatic vehicle. Then, when she sees the villains out joyriding in a stolen car, she goes to the other end of the extreme, managing to make an automatic car drift without a real hand brake.
* BlandNameProduct: In "[=#MisgivingTree=]", Barbara eats a cup of ''Cup Filled With Noodles'' brand ramen ([[ShoutOut based on]] the ''Cup Noodles'' brand).
* BoyishShortHair: The rebellious Supergirl has a messy bob haircut.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: In "#Frenemies", Barry Allen created a new dessert made with ice-cream, toffee, and jalapenos (plus salt).
* BrokeTheRatingScale: Diana scores ''102%'' on her calculus test. This is one of Diana's many triumphs that enrages (Pre-Cheetah) Barbi Minerva, who got a mere 100%.
* BrutalHonesty: In "#Frenemies", the girls are forced to admit that they don't like Harleen Quinzel after Barbara uses the Lasso of Truth on them. Kara, however, wasn't bound by the lasso.
* 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''.
** This is not [[Creator/TaraStrong Tara Strong's]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries first]] [[WebAnimation/GothamGirls outing]] [[WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever voicing]] [[WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman Barbara]] [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheKillingJoke Gordon]].
* CatGirl: Wonder Woman fights this version of the Cheetah.
* CatsAreMean: Instead of a tragic backstory, Red Lantern Dex-Starr is depicted in the show as just a particularly cranky and spiteful cat pushed over the edge by Jessica's enthusiasm to get him adopted.
* CerebusCallBack: In "#[=SweetJustice=]", the Danvers keep mentioning an incident Kara "didn't" do, as a way to set up how Kara clashes with them. It is revealed in "#[=TheGoodTheBadAndTheBizarre=]" said incident was the destruction of Smallville High's gymnasium, which Kara was blamed and expelled for.
* ChekhovsGun: The Kryptonite Sample in the Metropolis Museum from "[=#FightAtTheMuseum=]" is used against Zod and his forces in "[=#DCSuperHeroBoys=]".
* TheChosenMany: The Green Lantern Corps, as per usual. Jessica isn't the only Earth-based Green Lantern, as she pals around with a Green-Lantern-ring-sporting Hal Jordan.
* ClarkKenting: It'd be easier to list the exceptions, but here goes.
** Wonder Woman changes her large gold tiara... for a large gold hairband. And she wears a sweater and skirt the exact same color scheme as her superhero outfit. And spent an entire first day at school in her superhero outfit (albeit with a hooded robe over it).
** Batgirl's costume would be effective normally, if she didn't wear a bat-eared hoodie in the exact same color as her batsuit all the time.
** Supergirl ''doesn't do anything to disguise her face or hair at all'', and her civvies are in the same color scheme as her superhero outfit. When she briefly becomes Power Girl, all she does is change her wardrobe to convince people she's a different person.
** Jessica Cruz's face remains exposed except for a Green Lantern Corps symbol around one eye, and her civilian clothes are the same color as her costume and marked with the symbol.
** Bumblebee's helmet is entirely transparent from the front -- and once again, her clothes are the same color as her costume.
** Zatanna openly practices magic in her civillian identity and just makes her hair shinier without wearing a mask.
** Katana's civilian clothing has a very similar color palate.
** Harley Quinn. [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Harleen Quinzel]]. Her civilian attire also has the same quartered asymmetrical scheme as her costume, just in blue and red instead of black and red, and her dip-dyed pigtails resemble her alter-ego's jester cap.
** Poison Ivy can only be told apart from [[StevenUlyssesPerHero Pamela Isley]] by the fact that her skin and hair color are more saturated, her hair's wilder, and her clothes are more provocative than the frumpy and unflattering ensemble she usually goes with.
** Star Sapphire [[RunningGag isn't wearing a mask]] and her civilian clothes are the same color as her costume.
** Catwoman would probably be less obvious if she didn't keep wearing her stolen jewelry out of costume. Even so she's one of the few with at least some level of disguise.
** Giganta's "costume" is her regular outfit ripped up and with her hair out of its ponytail. Oh, and [[RunningGag not wearing a mask.]]
** Livewire... [[RunningGag do we even have to say it?]] And then she "hands off" her show and immediately takes it over in her supervillain identity. Not to mention that her real initials, LW, [[StevenUlyssesPerHero are the same as her codename]].
** Hal Jordan wears a DominoMask, which [[Film/GreenLantern his cinematic debut]] pointed out doesn't really cover much of anything.
** The Flash both openly exhibits SuperSpeed out of costume, and goes around doing his deliveries for Sweet Justice in costume.
** Aqualad... [[OverusedRunningGag well, you know]]. More to the point, his civilian clothes are ''completely indistinct'' from his superhero getup, the only difference being that the latter includes gloves and a belt buckle.
** Green Arrow, apart from his civilian clothes matching his superhero costume almost perfectly, has that massively over-the-top Goatee of his that he doesn't bother to hide.
** Hawkman is the only person his size.
** When Jessica and Karen babysit Dick Grayson and his friends on his birthday, they let Alfred introduce them by their civilian names and then instantly reveal themselves (complete with a roll call) as the Tween Titans. In turn, they don't hide being Green Lantern and Bumblebee from the kids.
* ClassPet: In the short "#[=HamsterConQueso=]", it's Batgirl's turn to take care of Hammy the hamster, the school pet and mascot, while she works at the [[BurgerFool Burrito Bucket]] the same day the health inspector visits. HilarityEnsues.
* CompositeCharacter:
** Supergirl has some qualities of Power Girl, including a rougher personality and sporting short hair. She also takes on the identity in "[=#PowerSurge=]".
** Batgirl is Barbara Gordon but has a more bubbly personality akin to Stephanie Brown.
* ContraltoOfDanger: Wonder Woman's voice is noticeably deeper than the others.
* CultureChopSuey: Greek Amazons travel in a [[HornyVikings Viking Longboat.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: To a degree. While there's still plenty of comedy and lightheartedness like its predecessor, there's also more emphasis on character trauma, and with this show being rated PG as opposed to TV-Y7, the violence is more realistic.
* DarkhorseVictory: In "[=#BeastsInShow=]", Kara and Babs enter their dogs Krypto and Ace in a dog show to see which of them is the best dog. When Harley's pet hyenas disrupt the show during the talent competition, Ace and Krypto catch them and save the dog that was competing at the time, Waffles. Unfortunately, the announcer thought the whole thing was [[AllPartOfTheShow part of Waffles' routine]], so Waffles gets the top prize.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Certain shorts like "[=#SpeedyDelivery=]" and "[=#GoFish=]" focus instead on the guys that aren't even the actual leads, like the Flash and Aqualad.
* DeadlineNews: "#[=LetThemEatPie=]" has Lois Lane reporting on the local pie eating contest, where Diana comes in from behind due to developing a pie addiction during said contest. Then she spots the one remaining pie in Lois' hand... and charges at her ''and the camera.''
* DemotedToExtra: Katana was not in the main lineup and was replaced with Zatanna and Jessica Cruz. She wouldn't appear until the 19th episode, "[=#SoulSisters=]".
* DenserAndWackier: This version of the series heavily ramps up the humor compared to the 2015 series.
* {{Determinator}}: In ''[=#TheLateBatsby=]'', a determined Batgirl manages to reach Mr. Freeze before the others, despite them having a headstart and having ''flight powers''.
* DumpedViaTextMessage: Hal Jordan dumped Carrol Ferris via a text. Not bad enough? Turns out she's a love crazy violet lantern known as Star Sapphire and will not take no for an answer.
* EarAche:
** In the pilot, Diana's mother drags her to the boat by her ear.
** When the Amazons try to throw Diana's friends off the boat, they drag them by their ears. It backfires when Kara suddenly remembers she has super-strength.
* EarlyBirdCameo: The Tween Titans appear in the ''Powerless'' graphic novel, which ended up coming out almost a month before their self-titled debut cartoon episode.
* EasterEgg:
** In Supergirl's "#[=AdventuresInBunnysitting=]", there is a more traditional painting of Wonder Woman on a building in the background of one scene.
** The hippie-trippie vision that briefly appears with Supergirl's picture day dress includes what looks like "The Mystery Machine", as WB Animation now produces Franchise/ScoobyDoo.
* EggSitting: In the episode "[=#ScrambledEggs=]," the Super Hero Girls, Super Villain Girls, and Invincibros are randomly paired up into groups of two with each group assigned to watch over an egg for the weekend. HilarityEnsues as they all try and fail to keep the eggs safe. The teacher even points out at the end of the episode how cliche and overused this trope is.
* ElaborateUndergroundBase: At the end of "[=#SweetJustice=]," Batgirl doctors the building plans to get one set up under the Sweet Justice ice cream shop while it's being rebuilt. It has specialized work/training areas for all six heroes, and the entrance can only be opened by sitting at a particular table and fiddling with its straw dispenser.
* [[invoked]] EngineeredHashtag: For reasons never explained, every episode's title is a hashtag.
* EpicFail:
** In "[=#BurritoBucket=]", Barbara tells Flash to go take care of the bank robbers while she has to go back to work. The next time she checks on the bank, Flash is now tied up with the hostages.
-->'''Flash:''' Dude, I'm as surprised as you are.
** Diana gets subjected to an entire school week of these in "[=#CrushingIt=]".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In the first few seconds of "[=#MeetTheCheetah=]", Barbi Minerva pulls of a near-perfect vault before insulting a teammate who complimented her.
-->'''Girl:''' Nice work, Barbi! If you keep vaulting like that, we might actually win gold this year!
-->'''Barbi:''' ''(snatching a towel from her)'' [[AlphaBitch Well, it wasn't]] ''[[AlphaBitch me]]'' [[KickTheDog who fell on the uneven bars.]]
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: The whole point of the show. Along with our team, Metropolis High's student body includes Hal Jordan, Barry Allen, Catwoman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Poison Ivy, among others.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: As Zee starts answering Oliver's AskAStupidQuestion in "[=#ScrambledEggs=]", she then realizes that ''she'' made the stupid mistake.
* ExplosiveBreeder: Bunnies, (super)naturally, as bred magical creatures, owned by Zatanna in "#[=AdventuresInBunnysitting=]". They [[GRatedSex hug]] and produce a literal flood of baby bunnies that magically disappear when they're finally separated.
* ExtraStrengthMasquerade: Somehow, everyone's secret identities are intact despite how blatantly obvious it all is.
* FaceDoodling: Kara can't resist the urge to scrible on the faces of the comatose supervillains in "[=#SoulSisters=]".
* FacePalm: Done thrice by the same character. Catwoman does it in "[=#Beeline=]" (because of Harley Quinn), then at the end of "[=#SoulSisters=]", and again at the end of "[=#PurseScratcther=]".
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Karen originally built her Bumblebee suit to make herself grow, not shrink. No matter how many tweaks she makes, the power to get bigger eludes her.
* FakingTheDead: When Livewire seemingly kills Supergirl in "#[=PowerSurge=]", Kara decides to take on a new identity and get a new start as ComicBook/PowerGirl.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: The bank robbers in "#[=BurritoBucket=]" use guns that are not only laser guns but visually not much different from toy guns - they even have ''[[Toys/NERFBrand priming handles]]''!
* FanDisservice: When the girls take Wonder Woman out for her first pedicure there's a closeup of her hairy leg and her foot with giant calluses and craggy untrimmed nails.
* FireForgedFriends: Kara and Harleen seem to end up becoming that way during their situation in "[=#ScrambledEggs=]".
* FreakyFridayFlip: In "#[=BatAndSwitch=]", Zatanna attempts to make Barbara and her father switch bodies, but she ends up switching first with a black alley cat, then with a skater dude, and then a weather girl, a woman being proposed to, and many other random people. When she finally does the switch with her father, it's at a bad time, when he's getting his back hair removed.
* FreezeFrameBonus:
** The first shot of the yearbook in the title sequence has pictures of several characters that will appear as the series progresses. Of special note, Selina Kyle (Catwoman) is in there despite zero indication she's even a student.
** While Karen's walking alone and feeling that she's a failure in "#Beeline", on a wall there are advertising posters with: "'''Blowing It''' Hair-Dryer", and "'''U-Suk''' Vacuums", and "'''Fail'''-Safe Safes".
** In "[=#GothamCon=]", there are several jokes in the graffiti as Barbara and Harleen romp through the grimy city to the convention.
** Aside from ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' (a CallBack to "[=#CrushingIt=]"), the four other library books that Katana hurls at Diana in "[=#SoulSisters=]" each have hilariously appropriate titles.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: At demoralized moments, these girls and boys sit at the Sweet Justice counter to drown their sorrows in milkshakes.
* FurAndLoathing: The Pre-Cheetah Barbi Minerva wears a golden fur coat (with white fur trim), a sign she's a RichBitch. Once she becomes the Cheetah, she is a CatGirl who's also literally a GreenEyedMonster (her jealousy of Diana caused Barbi to unleash the Cheetah's curse, not realizing it would envelop HER instead, [[EyeColourChange giving her glowing green eyes]] instead of her original brown ones when she feels the curse.)
* {{Gasshole}}: Babs in "#[=BackInAFlash=]" accidentally toots during a school assembly due to eating a breakfast burrito.
* GenkiGirl: Batgirl is described as an energetic {{fangirl}} for the Dark Knight, with even her civilian clothes and bedroom being covered in bat iconography.
* GeniusSerum: In the short "[=#ArtificalIntelligence=]", Doris Zeul (aka Giganta) accidentally injects herself with a serum that boosts her intellect to genius levels instead of her usual growth serum, utilizing her new smarts against the protagonists. She [[NearVillainVictory almost wins]] until the serum wears off at the last minute, causing Doris to forget how to use her machine and winds up blowing herself up.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** The [[NaughtyTentacles thumbnail]] of "[=#WasabiWar=]" and "[=#Vegecide=]".
** In the episode "[=#ShockItToMe=]", one of Livewire's "Mean Memes" has a picture of Green Lantern being defeated, following it by a "greenhouse gases" joke while there's a quick shot of her butt (Green lantern blushes at this).
** In the episode "[=#SoulSisters=]", we learn that Bruce Wayne stars in a RealityTV show called ''Make It Wayne''. "Making it rain" is a phrase used to describe the action of throwing cash money over an exotic dancer/stripper.
** The ''multiple'' jokes about [[BlackComedy Batgirl knowing how to hide a body]] in "#[=SoulSisters=]". [[https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/1190825924578574337 Even Lauren Faust admits]] she has no idea how they got away with that one.
* GoshDangItToHeck: Along with ''Heck'' the characters typically use terms like ''Crud'' and ''OM Jeepers'' and ''Oh, Hades'' (by Diana).
* GRatedSex: In "[=AdventuresInBunnysitting=]", Zatanna's magic rabbits spontaneously produce offspring at an exponential rate just by hugging.
* GreenEyedMonster:
** "Barbi" Minerva finds herself becoming very jealous of Diana in "[=#MeetTheCheetah=]" to where she tries to unleash the Cheetah's curse on Diana. However, the curse then affects the jealous Barbi instead, and she turns into a green-eyed CatGirl. When she turns back into Barbi, she briefly has her original brown eyes until she looks in the mirror, in which the curse asserts itself [[EyeColourChange by having her eyes glow green]] while the power rush hits Barbi again.
** Star Sapphire is romantically obsessed with getting back together with Hal Jordan and continues to act as though they're still boyfriend and girlfriend in "[=#HateTriangle=]" and "[=#PictureDaze=]". And when she sees Hal hanging out with Jessica Cruz in both episodes, she furiously views it as a romantic interlude between the two.
** Zatanna ''really'' gets this way whenever another performer steals the spotlight from her magic shows; such as an amateur street-magician in "[=#IllusionsOfGrandeur=]", and Oliver Queen being scheduled to perform on the school stage the same day and time that her act is scheduled on the school's other stage in "[=#AdBlockers=]".
* GrowlingGut: In "#[=TacoTuesday=]", Karen's stomach growls 7 times.
** This happens to Hal in "#[=AsteroidBelter=]".
** This happens to Leslie and Doris in "#[=CandyCrushed=]".
* HallOfMirrors: After [[spoiler:Casey Krinsky]] [[FreakyFridayFlip swaps bodies with Zee]], thereby gaining her powers, Zee hides in a house of mirrors. Not only is [[spoiler:Casey]] unable to find the real Zee, she's forced to face her own reflection which, thanks to her crippling self-loathing, is the last thing she wants to do.
* HashtagForLaughs: [[CaptainObvious Look at all of the episode titles.]]
* HardTruthAesop: Parodied in "[=#HateTriangle=]", with Jessica's faith in pacifism being mocked and ultimately useless in saving the day. Jessica tries her best to hold onto resolving her battle with Star Sapphire peacefully, preaches on about how violence is terrible, but the villainess decides that she'll come back worse than before, rendering Jessica's message about true love completely moot. Though the show seems to hint that this was intentional for comedic purposes.
* HeroInsurance: Averted for laughs in "#[=PowerSurge=]" when Kara gets criticized by a power plant foreman for all the destruction she caused defending it. [[spoiler:Twice.]]
* HippieParents: If the dress they foisted on her for picture day is any indication, Supergirl's foster parents/legal guardians, the Danvers, are these.
* HopelessWithTech: In "#Beeline", Bumblebee tries to call Diana about a bomb on the bridge, but Diana can't seem to handle her phone very well; the phone screen shows various close-ups as she moves the phone around before she accidentally hangs up.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The title of every short and episode is styled as a Website/{{Twitter}} hashtag.
* ImpactSilhouette: In "[=#SheMightBeGiant=]", Giganta leaves her silhouette as she falls through the floor of the mall and several levels of the parking lot.
* InNameOnly: The Cartoon Network series isn't much like the original ''WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'', being more like ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' in both art style and story.
* InnocentInnuendo: When Jessica tries to change Hal's look to make him dumpy and unappealing:
-->'''Jessica''': Garth! ''Take off your clothes''!
* InnocentlyInsensitive: And then the previous leads to:
-->'''Jessica''': Perfect! That's super unattractive!
-->'''Garth''': Wait. What?
* IronicFear: Batgirl is scared of bats, with "[=#BatCatcher=]" revolving around her panicked reaction to one getting stuck in her room.
* {{Irony}}:
** In "[=#IllusionsOfGrandeur=]", Zee's magic is constantly called out as being fake, while the [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Kris Angel]] {{expy}} performs basic illusions that everyone fawns over.
** Diana and Karen being partnered together in "[=#ScrambledEggs=]" would guarantee that they succeed over all the mismatched pairs. Instead, they're the first to fail.
* KneelBeforeZod: The main antagonists of "#[=DCSuperheroBoys=]" feature the TropeNamer, so he naturally says this when he descends upon Metropolis.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Catwoman spends most of "[=#FightAtTheMuseum=]" effortlessly running circles around Supergirl. When the rest of the team shows up, she shamelessly dumps the loot as a distraction and runs away.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Among the archetypes/stereotypes of English people glimpsed in London in "[=#TheGoodTheBadAndTheBizarre=]" are [[Film/MaryPoppins two kids with their nanny]].
* LeeroyJenkins: Supergirl in "[=#FightAtTheMuseum=]". When the team is fighting a series of giant monsters, she just flies in and punches them out of sight rather than listen to any strategic plan the team comes up with. This backfires when Catwoman tricks her into busting open a safe containing Kryptonite, knowing full well Supergirl would just barrel through without any forethought or strategy. Special note to the first battle of this episode. In a ShoutOut to the trope namer's video, Wonder Woman is explaining the strategy to the girls when Supergirl says, "Time's up, let's do this. Supergirl!"
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: After Katana returns everyone's souls in "[=#SoulSisters=]", the Girls (sans Diana) and Villains wake up, still in Babs's room where they were being hidden. The thing is the latter had to pretend they were having a slumber party. Catwoman says the trope name word-for-word after finding this out, to which everyone agrees.
* LivingWithTheVillain: The female heroes and female villains all attend school together and frequent the same malt shop. Harleen "Harley Quinn" Quinzel and Barbara "Batgirl" Gordon are even best friends who are both unaware of the other's alter ego, in which they are sworn enemies.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Zatanna is pretty and popular, as well as being pretty full of herself, but is still a nice enough girl in general.
* LowerDeckEpisode: The short "[=#StarStruck=]" is one that centers on Lois and Jimmy during the episode "[=#HateTriangle=]".
* {{Malaproper}}: Often from Diana, since American-English -- ''teenage'' American-English especially -- is a new language for her.
* MexicanStandoff: In "[=#BatAndSwitch=]", we briefly see the Terrible Trio all GunsAkimbo and ''[[NoHonorAmongThieves pointing at each other.]]''
* MistakenForRomance: Between Jessica and Hal, by Star Sapphire. Jessica goes from confusion to laughing and saying "No" in various paces and tones for nearly ''ten seconds.'' It happens again in "[=#PictureDaze=]".
* MoodDissonance: [=#GothamCon=] has a lovely example with Barbara and Harleen prancing through the WretchedHive of Gotham City - with music! And dancing cops!
* MrFanservice: Hal Jordan gets a ShowerScene in the short "[=#PictureDaze=]".
* MundaneUtility: Zee’s father uses his magic to "hand" Zee her backpack from fifty feet away.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: In "[=#CrushingIt=]", after suffering through Diana's uncontrollable infatuation over Steve Trevor, Batgirl suggests that her and rest of the girls "take out" Trevor. After tracking down a lonesome Trevor, Bumblebee, Supergirl, Zatanna, and even [[RecklessPacifist Jessica Cruz]] strike at him at once, attempting to kill him behind his back. This is all [[SubvertedTrope interrupted]] when Batgirl's successful hack gets Trevor accepted into a military school, wondering if the others were on the same page regarding to "take him out".
* MythologyGag: Has their own page.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: In "#Beeline", Harley wants to blow up the bridge just so her teacher won't come to school tomorrow.
* NonverbalMiscommunication: "#[=HashtagFrownyFace=]" has Diana and the others confuse Barbara's emoji texts where she's asking for help fighting Poison Ivy as her talking about a bad experience at a new vegan restaurant. Poison Ivy suffers this at the end as well as she grumbles at Harley doing this to her.
* OddCouple: Among the teammate pairings with the Invinci-bros, Bumblebee gets paired with Hawkman.
* OffscreenTeleportation: We don't actually see Zatara teleport Zee's backpack. Babs sees him waving it in the air, she looks the other way, and when she looks back it's in Zee's hand.
* OhCrap: It's not a stretch that this has become the girls' [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises default reaction]] whenever Steve Trevor is in the same space as Diana.
* OhNoNotAgain: Jessica Cruz helps Hal Jordan to block someone annoying him on his phone in "[=#PictureDaze=]", unaware that said person is his ex-girlfriend Carol Ferris who in their last encounter presumed Jessica to be romantically interested in Hal. When an enraged Carol shows up and sees the two together, she leaps to conclusions and attacks Jessica.
--> '''Carol''': Jessica Cruz. I should have known it was you! ''I'LL NEVER LET YOU HAVE HIM!''
--> '''Jessica''': ''[groans]'' Oh no. Not again.
* OnlyOneFemaleMold: Completely averted. Not only do all six main girls have completely distinct and unique silhouettes, body shapes, and physiques, but even the nameless background girls have [[CastOfSnowflakes totally different builds]], as seen in [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/480/009/7da.jpg this screenshot.]]
* ParentalObliviousness: In "#[=SoulSisters=]", the girls push the soulless villains through Babs' living room in front of her dad who fell asleep watching ''Make It Wayne''.
* PartingFromConsciousnessWords: Delivered by Bumblebee, who has been racing to get to class on time, after Supergirl accidentally knocks her silly in "#[=PlightOfTheBumblebee=]":
-->'''Karen:''' Did the bell ring yet? ''[passes out]''
* PassionateSportsGirl: Diana and Barbara Ann Minerva are both star members of the Metropolis High gymnastics team, which forms a significant part of their rivalry and Barbara's [[GreenEyedMonster motivations]] for becoming the Cheetah, as while Barbara is an excellent gymnast, [[AlwaysSecondBest Diana is even better.]]
* PictureDay: Used as the plot of ''four'' shorts as of this writing. See below under RecycledPlot.
* PlutoIsExpendable: During a game of cat and mouse with Supergirl, Catwoman cuts lose a huge model of the earth for Supergirl to catch. Once Supergirl does catch it, Catwoman proceeds to drop the entire solar system on her... until she gets to Pluto.
-->'''Catwoman:''' Pluto, planet or no? Ah, who cares? ''[cuts it down too]''
* RaceLift:
** Catwoman is black in this universe.
** Giganta is biracial, with a white father and a black mother.
** Zigzagged with Wonder Woman, who is now AmbiguouslyBrown but didn't have her ethnic background changed.
* RealityEnsues:
** Despite their superpowers, most of the girls are rookies when it comes to battling and heroics in general, the only exception being [[StrongAndSkilled Diana]]. Because of this, the team's performance is far from ideal, especially at first.
*** The girls, except for Barbara, weren't even ''willing'' to become superheroes at first, not wanting to use their powers to fight crime and being generally uninterested in heroics. Of course, when they fail to save Sweet Justice later, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere they disband]].
*** During the first training session, the girls are supposed to protect and save practice dummies (representing civilians) from various dangers; again, except for Diana, all the girls do quite badly, with none of their dummies 'surviving', except for Jessica's, but, her attempts to be an ActualPacifist, while great to save civilians, mean she doesn't help that much at fighting a monster or villain, so her teammates can't count on her for battling.
*** Five superhero teenage girls versus a crew of super-strong Amazons with hundreds of years of experience? The five teenage girls lose, and are left ragged and barely standing by the end, only winning due to Diana standing up to her mother. And their attempt to sneak her out results in them getting caught almost immediately.
*** Jessica's pacifism likewise comes up again in "[=#HateTriangle=]" during her training with Kilowog who informs that her methods won't work ''all'' the time and she will have to fight directly sooner or later. Granted she managed to solve the problem against Star Sapphire without too much violence but only after Sapphire nearly wrecked the football field in her rampage due to Jessica's insistence to not combat her hand to hand and being on the defensive through much of it.
*** Diana points out in "#[=FightAtTheMuseum=]" that Kara's [[LeeroyJenkins method of battling]] isn't always going to work and she needs to anticipate her enemy's moves in order to win. She doesn't listen while going against Catwoman, who took advantage of this to trash the museum, incapacitate Kara with a bar of Kryptonite, and leave her at the crime scene.
** Barbara learns in "#[=BurritoBucket=]" that doing crimefighting with a secret identity, while also having and trying to keep an ordinary job is... problematic.[[note]]Hence why most superheroes with civilian lives are either self-employed, do freelance-type jobs, or employed in professions that already have irregular schedules.[[/note]]
*** This is reinforced in "#Beeline", where Karen rushes to warn Barbara about Harley Quinn’s plan to blow up the bridge. She ends up completely and unknowingly bypassing her line, and is forced to wait for her turn. Not every superhero is going to be readily available.
** Happens to the Flash in "#[=SpeedyDelivery=]". He races across town to deliver a cake in 10 minutes, but it gets slung around so much within its box (due to his SuperSpeed and assorted other mishaps) that it ends up a splattered mess.
** As Batgirl is reminded in "#[=FromBatToWorse=]", a motorscooter -- even a souped-up one -- is quite underpowered compared to an average car, since her dad's car got ahead of her even with her having a head start.
** Zee learns in "#[=IllusionsOfGrandeur=]" that performing in public in front of random folks, instead of a paying audience of fans, means putting up with hecklers and the disinterested.
** In "[=#VanityInsanity=]", Zee's long hair catches fire while in the chemistry lab, due to not covering it properly. This demonstrates why there are guidelines to prevent such accidents in real life.
** "[=#BoothBoot=]" shows the disadvantage of locating the entrance to the girls' hideout in a public space like the ''Sweet Justice'' cafe. Namely, if another group of people sits in the booth.
** "#Frenemies": After having to endure Harleen messing with everyone all day, the girls try to lie to Barbara by saying they do like her. Due in part to everyone not being so convincing, Babs isn't fooled for a second as she quickly uses Diana's Lasso of Truth to [[BrutalHonesty force the truth out of them]].
** In "#[=AllyCat=]", the Girls recruit Catwoman to help them break into [=LexCorp=] and retrieve the episode's {{McGuffin}}. Catwoman's plan[[labelnote:*]](Infiltrating a fancy party to get the keys to enter Lex's chambers)[[/labelnote]], shown for narrative convenience, seems to go off without a hitch...but that was only the planning phase shown. When they do the plan for ''real'', it does ''not'' go as smoothly as Catwoman planned. Long story short, heroes are not really that good when it comes to actually doing crimes, unlike the villains.
** In "#[=CrashCourse=]", Diana attempts to get a driver's license. During the test drive, she sees three of the villains in a hijacked car, which leads to her chasing them around the city, with her instructor in the car. Once this is all said and done, the instructor fails her since her recklessness is grounds for failure. Though he ''was'' nice enough to allow her to test again, given she follows the rules this time.
* [[invoked]] RecycledScript:
** "[=#TheLateBatsby=]" is an expanded version of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ti0bJfWBfg Time Waits For No Girl]]'', one of the ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' shorts, swapping out Poison Ivy for Mr. Freeze.
** The shorts sure like "comically getting messed up on the way to school picture day" as a plot. First there's "[=#StreetStyle=]" with Kara, "[=#PictureDaze=]" with Hal, "[=#CruzControl=]" with Jessica (and Garth), and then "[=#VanityInsanity=]" with Zatanna (and Oliver and maybe ''half of the entire school''). How many picture days does that school ''have''?
** A class egg-assignment in the short "[=#ShellShock=]" gets expanded into the episode "[=#ScrambledEggs=]".
* RedOniBlueOni: Mix those colors together and it makes ''green''. Green Lantern and Poison Ivy are both would-be eco-warriors, though Lantern tries to be an eco-activist while Ivy plays at being an eco-terrorist. And while Jessica Cruz tries to be a helpful friend to anybody and is a ''fanatical'' vegetarian, Pamela Isley is a misanthropic loner and fanatically against eating ''anything'' from plants.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Diana loves Barbara's idea of them, Kara, Karen, Jessica and Zee teaming up, but the other four refuses at first, with their reasoning being that Kara breaks stuff, Jessica's a Pacifist, Zee's an "art-eest" and Karen's really timid. Thankfully, Diana's Call keeps ringing loud enough they finally give in.
* RevisitingTheRoots: Wonder Woman no longer wears pants, Harley Quinn is wearing her traditional jester outfit, and Batgirl is wearing something more similar to her pre-New 52 clothes.
* RingRingCRUNCH: Supergirl does this to her alarm clock. It seems to be a common enough occurrence that she has spares.
* RuleOfSymbolism: Zatanna's magical bunnies hug each other and form the shape of a heart, which [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim Kara has to pull in half.]]
* RunningGag:
** Almost every time [[ButtMonkey Garth]] turns up, something happens to him.
** When someone is getting their school picture taken, it doesn't go as planned.
** The villain girls always escape and the superhero girls remain clueless of their real identities, and vice-versa.
* SceneryGorn: Somehow the fate of all of those poor mannequins in the TrainingMontage do the best job showing all of the things that [[RealityEnsues COULD happen in the genre]] than any superhero cartoon yet.
* SchizoTech: Where smartphones, tablets, and notebook computers are used, why is Jimmy Olsen still using a film camera instead of digital cameras? Because for RuleOfFunny, there are more laughs (and drama) from the old fashioned laboring in a darkroom.
* SchoolNewspaperNewsHound: Metropolis High's ''Daily Planetoid''. Justified, because the editor is [[GoingForTheBigScoop Lois Lane]], who is using the school paper as the first step to becoming a serious journalist.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Barbara spends a lot of "#[=BurritoBucket=]" doing this about herself, her job, and stopping the robbers.
* ShipTease: There are now two episodes (though ''technically'', it's one episode and one short) centering on a furious Star Sapphire mistakenly assuming Hal Jordan and Jessica Cruz are a couple.
* ShoutOut:
** The girls watch an overly sappy teen romance with a messy-haired guy and the title of [[Literature/{{Twilight}} "Just Before Dusk"]].
** When Wonder Woman accuses her of insubordination, Supergirl responds with, "[[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda Excuse ME, Princess!]]"
** After the team [[TenMinuteRetirement breaks up]], Babs consoles herself by [[Literature/BridgetJones crying along to sad music.]]
** Right before hooking up an amp to the robots so Supergirl can stop them with ThePowerOfRock, Batgirl adds the [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap number 11]] to the dial.
** The {{Overly Long Name}}s of Zee's pet bunnies, Blackberry Hazel von Owsla III and Dandelion Pipkin de Hyzenthlay, are made up of character names (and one lore term) from ''Literature/WatershipDown''.
** Instead of the mainstream Bud and Lou, Harley Quinn's pet hyenas are named [[Series/ILoveLucy Lucy and Ethel]] in the show.
** A flood of bunnies pour out of a movie theater in a manner similar to ''Film/TheBlob1958'', and a gigantic entity of merged bunnies resembles the [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man]].
** One of the girls on the school's gymnastics team has [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/480/009/7da.jpg teal-colored hair with a pink ribbon]], not dissimilar to [[Franchise/DragonBall Bulma.]]
** When Hal shows Jess the focus of his abject terror, she asks, "What, behind the cheerleader?" and he responds, "It ''is'' the cheerleader!"; a reference to the Killer Rabbit from ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail.''
** Diana comes across [[Film/{{Big}} a fortune teller game machine that may or may not be powered by actual magic]]. [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane It certainly isn't powered by electricity.]]
** Barbara buys her cowls from a shop called "{{Emo}} Emporium", which is a riff off of '''Hot Topic'''.
** When Bumblebee's buzzing around Giganta in "[=#SheMightBeGiant=]", the [[StandardSnippet background music]] briefly switches to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee".
*** On the subject of musical references... [[Music/TheyMightBeGiants "#SheMightBeGiant".]]
** During "[=#DCSuperHeroBoys=]", Diana momentarily looks like a StringyHairedGhostGirl. And then later, everyone is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunch_atop_a_Skyscraper sitting and snacking together on a girder]].
** In "#Frenemies", Batgirl calls her and her friends "[=SBFFs=]," which we're told stands for WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever. Doubles as a MythologyGag.
** Tatsu and Diana's sparring match in "[=#SoulSisters=]" gets dangerously close to straight out plagiarizing the [[IAmNotLeftHanded trope-naming]] fencing scene in ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
** Lois Lane uses [[Creator/StanLee someone else's]] familiar catchphrase, "Excelsior!" in "[=#StarStruck=]".
** While imprisoned by Lex Luthor in "[=#AllyCat=]", Green Lantern (Jessica) passes time bouncing a ball construct like [[Film/TheGreatEscape "Cooler King" Hilts]] with his baseball.
** Diana's {{wakeup|Makeup}} at Zee's place in "#[=HousePest=]" is practically lifted right out of a ''Franchise/DisneyPrincess'' movie.
* ShowWithinAShow: ''Princess Pumpkin Pants''.
* SkunkStripe: Jessica has two neon green ones, Karen has a yellow ochre one.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Male and female characters alike get put through the wringer for the sake of comedy regularly.
* SneakyDeparture: In ''[=#TheLateBatsby=]'', Barbara can't leave the house to join the others as Batgirl til her dad falls asleep, so she can sneak out of the house through the window.
* TheSpartanWay: Judging from Diana's anecdotes, Themyscira operates on this. Not only was her training to become a warrior long and brutal, there is little room in Amazon life for much else. Even mealtime conversation consists of Diana being berated for her failures, which are suppose to inspire her to be better next time.
* SpearCounterpart: Each member of the Invincibros plays counterpoint to one of the girls.
** Naturally, Green Lantern Hal for Green Lantern Jessica
** Green Arrow to Zee, both being dramatic personalities
** The Flash to Batgirl, both being excitable personalities who are easily distracted
** Aqualad to Bumblebee, both being ignored by the student body at large
** Hawkman to Supergirl, both being TheBigGuy
** Steve might not be as strong as Wonder Woman, but he certainly is her weakness. They are also both the leaders of their respective teams.
* SpinoffSendoff: The last comic for the previous incarnation of the franchise has their Zatanna show their main cast an [[{{Multiverse}} alternate universe]] which turns out to be [[IntraFranchiseCrossover this continuity]]. Amusingly their versions of Harley and Ivy are a little put off that they're villains here.
* SpiritualSuccessor:
** To Lauren Faust's own ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'', with the personalities of Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman[[note]]Her personality taken from ''SBFF'''s Wonder Girl[[/note]] being recycled wholesale from that previous project.
** It's also more of a ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls'' reboot than the actual [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls2016 Powerpuff Girls reboot]].
* StalkerWithACrush: Even after he broke up with her, [[{{Yandere}} Star Sapphire]] is romantically obsessed with Hal Jordan.
* StopBeingStereotypical: In "[=#CrushingIt=]", Kara gets angry at Diana for having such a cliche lovestruck reaction to Steve when she's [[LampshadeHanging a literal symbol of female empowerment]].
* StopHelpingMe: Hal's attempts to become Superman's partner are embarrassing at best, and painful/dangerous at worst.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: Babs catches herself saying she wants to find a team to her father, as she desperately tries to cover her slip, Commissioner Gordon assumes she meant clique.
* TakeAThirdOption: Jessica Cruz is very good at coming up with non-violent solutions. [[NotSoAboveItAll She can be quite smug about it.]]
* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Ironically, not Garth. Oliver defeats Cavalier using "heckler" TrickArrows, which have little speakers in them that shout "Boo!" as they remain in place thanks to rotors. They wouldn't have worked on anyone other than Cavalier, who is obsessed with his own acting talent.
--> '''Oliver:''' Always knew they'd come in handy some day.
* TooDumbToLive: The roof selfie guy from "[=#FaultyPowers=]".
* TransformationSequence: All of the Super Hero Girls and Super Villain Girls have their own sequences revealed in "#Frenemies".[[note]]Though Bumblebee's was already seen twice prior to this episode's debut.[[/note]]
* TruerToTheText:
** Lauren Faust states that [[http://www.comicsbeat.com/sdcc-18-talking-humor-heart-and-heroics-with-the-cast-crew-of-dc-super-hero-girls/ one of the goals was this]], with the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] incarnations being used as the foundation for applicable characters. Notably, the villainesses who were [[AdaptationalHeroism made into heroes]] in the previous series are back to being bad again this time around.
** {{Averted}} with Jessica Cruz, a more modern character (debuting in 2014) who Faust admits, due to the character's depressing OriginStory, was changed drastically to better fit the lighthearted tone of the show.
* TwinkleInTheSky: In "[=FightAtTheMuseum=]", Supergirl punches a robot and sends it flying in the sky, where it appears as a twinkle.
* UnknownRival: Oliver Queen to Zee. She remembers him after he gets super dramatic.
* VillainExitStageLeft: The main villains will often escape before anyone can find out their true identity.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: It's heavily implied that Lex Luthor is villainous, but manages to project a positive public image.
* VoicesAreMental: Taken UpToEleven in "#[=BatAndSwitch=]", with Babs' voice coming out of ''everyone'' she gets soul-swapped with - ''even the cat!''
* JustForFun/XMeetsY: The show is like a mashup between Lauren Faust's previous works, ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' , with a dash of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls'' .
* WhamEpisode:
** The second half of "#[=MeetTheCheetah=]". Someone destroys the fuse box while the girls are about to search the school, then something stalks the and picks them off one at a time in the darkened hallways, and only Zatanna accidentally taking out Supergirl with her magic is played for the slightest bit of humor.
** "[=#SoulSisters=]" is another episode that doesn't run on humor, with the main plot being Katana stealing everyone's souls. It makes a certain amount of sense knowing this aired near Halloween of 2019.
* WimpFight:
** Zatanna gets into this with one of Hippolyta's Amazons, which shows that even the Amazons have a wimp or two amongst them.
** Superman and Supergirl, of all people, engage in this as a FunnyBackgroundEvent in "[=#SuperWho?=]" after their argument becomes physical.
** Diana and Tatsu start having one due to being required to fight ''quietly'' in the library.
* WingdingEyes: ''Anyone'' who gets knocked silly or out cold (heroes and villains alike) have their eyes turned into spirals.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Hal tries to impress Superman by showing him a certain [[GreenRocks green rock]] he found, right when Superman is trying to throw a bomb into space. Superman's expression [[OhCrap says it all]].
* TheWorfEffect: In "[=#DCSuperHeroBoys=]", the first action the rival gang does is punch Supergirl hard enough to knock her off her feet. Downplayed because she's back on her feet and fighting back a moment later.
* WretchedHive: The brief portrayals of Gotham City lean ''straight'' into this, with a mixture of slightly ''distressing'' realism and a few absurd details. Barbara has great nostalgia for the place anyway, which is played for laughs.
* WorfHadTheFlu:
** Wonder Woman's lasso didn't do her any good against Giganta, seemingly because it got looped around only one of Giganta's arms. When Harley Quinn looped it around both of Giganta's arms, the lasso immobilized her.
** In "[=#ScrambledEggs=]", Carol Ferris pounces on Tatsu, whose strength and workout regime can rival Diana's, and who as Katana defeated Carol (as Star Sapphire). Now, Carol gets Tatsu pinned down while twisting her leg.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Zatanna's hair, typically jet black, is sparkly purple here.
