* StealthSequel: ''Warworld'' continues from Superman and Batman's abduction by unseen forces at the ending of ''WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroes2023''. Wonder Woman is implied to be from the ''WesternAnimation/JusticeSocietyWorldWarII'' universe, with her abduction a NoodleIncident for now.

* AdaptationalWimp: Mongul in the comics has already fallen tremendously from grace but he still started out being much more powerful than Superman and in his first comic book story, knocked out Martian Manhunter with little effort. [[note]]Granted Martian Manhunter was already exhausted after being beaten by Superman but later on, Mongul still pummeled a full strength Superman so it's implied the end result would've been the same even if J'onn was at full power.[[/note]] In this movie, Mongul [[spoiler: gets dispatched with little effort by Martian Manhunter and doesn't even get the chance to fight Superman, though he does get a slight consolation prize in being able to beat up Lobo]].

* MythologyGag: Wonder Woman being in DC's Old West comics setting, dealing with its characters (Jonah Hex, Bat Lash, etc), and dressed in period garb all references the "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS1E12WeirdWesternTales Weird Western Tales]]" episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited''. A subtle gag emphasizes her wearing her own boots here instead of wearing period-appropriate boots like in the episode.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Zigzagged with Batman.
