* InNameOnly: The Cartoon Network series isn't much like the original ''WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'', being more like ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' in both art style and story. About the only things the two continuities have in common are the premise involving an interpretation of the DC Universe taking place in a high school setting where the majority of the characters are teenagers and both continuities having the starting point of Wonder Woman first becoming a superheroine and learning the existence of her peers.

* DiabolusExMachina: Barbara Gordan finds a pristine couch in ''[=#SofaSoGood=] and calls Karen Beecher to help her carry it to their secret hideout. Almost everything that could go wrong with carrying a piece of furniture down a city street does go wrong, and only 80% or so is due to the girls' bad judgment. Still, this was totally deserved by Barbara, who has four super powered teammates and thought unpowered and tiny Karen Beecher was the best choice to sneak it into their hideout!

Recycled Script is a Trivia trope (with the Trivia page already acknowledging the Late Batsby example), Recycled Plot redirects to Strictly Formula, putting Invoked over a trope belonging under YMMV or Trivia is for addressing the trope happening in-universe and it's kind of lazy to rely on another trope description to explain a trope's context anyway.
