2----
3* ActingForTwo: In the Japanese dub:
4** Creator/{{Lynn}} voices both Poison Ivy and Lena Luthor.
5** Creator/WataruTakagi voices both Cyborg and Green Lantern.
6** 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.
7** 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.
8** Creator/JessicaDiCicco voices both Star Sapphire and Lashina.
9** Josh Keaton voices Green Lantern, Flash, and Steve Trevor.
10** Creator/TomKenny voices Commissioner Gordon, Crazy Quilt, Lobo, and Sinestro.
11** Hynden Walch voices Starfire and Blackfire.
12** Kevin Michael Richardson voices Trigon, Mrs. Clayface, and King Sharkhead.
13** Creator/LaurenTom voices the Double Dare twins.
14** April Stewart voices Granny Goodness, Stompa, and Miss Moone.
15** Creator/PhilLaMarr voices Lucius Fox, Killer Moth, and Doc Magnus.
16** Fred Tatasciore voices Solomon Grundy, Killer Croc, Brainiac,the Kryptomites, and Ares.
17** Creator/CristinaPucelli voices Miss Martian, Amethyst, and Catwoman.
18** Creator/JohnDiMaggio voices Gorilla Grodd, Coach Wildcat, and Ambassador Drek.
19** Misty Lee voices Big Barda and Mad Harriet.
20** Mae Whitman voices Batgirl and Speed Queen.
21** Teala Dunn voices Bumblebee and Artemiz.
22* ActorAllusion: In Lady Shiva's Hero Of The Month episode, she and Flash have a ship tease moment. They're respectively voiced by Creator/TaniaGunadi and Josh Keaton, which isn't the [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime only time]] they voiced characters who were ship teased.
23* AdoredByTheNetwork:
24** Let's just say the strong merchandise sales and the fact it's on Website/YouTube helped increase the show's longevity.
25** Advertisements for the toyline have been repeatedly shown on Creator/DisneyChannel even though Disney owns Marvel, DC's rival.
26* AllStarCast:
27** The show is composed of voice acting veterans like Tara Strong, Grey [=DeLisle=] Griffin, Stephanie Sheh, Mae Whitman, and so forth, and newcomers like Teala Dunn and Anais Fairweather.
28** The Japanese dub is not a slouch on this either: So far we have Creator/MarinaInoue as Wonder Woman, Creator/ChieNakamura as Bat-Girl, Creator/YukaTerasaki as Supergirl, Creator/ChiwaSaito as Harley Quinn, Creator/{{Lynn}} as both Poison Ivy and Lena Luthor, Creator/RieKugimiya as Hawkgirl, Creator/MegumiToyoguchi as Catwoman, Creator/FumikoOrikasa as Starfire, Creator/WataruTakagi as both Cyborg and Green Lantern, Creator/MisatoFukuen as Raven, Creator/ToaYukinari as Bumblebee,[[note]]Replacing Kanako Toujou later on.[[/note]] Creator/TsubasaYonaga as Beast Boy, plus many others.
29* BillingDisplacement: Each episode, as well as the movies and specials, lists the actors in alphabetical order instead of order of importance. For example, in the movies, Yvette Nicole Brown (Amanda Waller) is almost always the first one credited due to how her last name starts with B, while Mae Whitman (Batgirl), is credited near the bottom since her last name starts with W.
30* CrossdressingVoices:
31** Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson voices Mrs. Clayface.
32** Averted with Granny Goodness, who's voiced by an actual woman, April Stewart.
33** Creator/GreyDeLisle voices Damian Wayne.
34* DawsonCasting: Almost all the teenage characters in the show are voiced by adult actors. Teala Dunn as Bumblebee and Alexis G. Zall as ComicBook/LoisLane avert this as they are closer in age to their characters, being only a few years older, although it's only a matter of time before they play it straight.
35* DuelingDubs: There are two Latin-American Spanish dubs: the Creator/{{Mattel}} dub, produced in UsefulNotes/{{Chile}} by DINT Doblajes Internacionales (with the theme song recorded in UsefulNotes/{{Mexico}}), and the Creator/WarnerBros dub, produced in UsefulNotes/{{Venezuela}} by Etcetera Group (with Supergirl's lines recorded in UsefulNotes/{{Miami}}).
36* FakeNationality:
37** The lead singer of the band Opposite Direction has a British accent, yet she's voiced by Tara Strong, who's American and Canadian.
38** Creator/RachaelMacFarlane, an American, uses a Greek accent when voicing Artemiz.
39** Creator/TomKenny, also an American, used a British accent when voicing Sinestro
40** Creator/JohnDiMaggio uses a Roman accent for Ambassador Drek even though he's American.
41** Dark Opal and Eclipso respectively have British and Eastern European accents, yet have American voice actors, Creator/SeanSchemmel and Creator/MonaMarshall, voicing them.
42* GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld: Though Shea Fontana created the series, this show is a DC Comics/Warner Bros. project. This is best shown in the Lego projects, which she was not involved in, and have some differences from the main series. The junior novels, written by Lisa Yee, are ''supposed'' to tie in with Shea Fontana's work on the show and comics, but contradict them too much to fit into canon.
43** Season 5 is the first season without her, playing this straight, at least in animation. Graphic novel wise, she's still involved.
44** The ultimate fact that the entire franchise was rebooted without her involvement is a testament to this.
45* MeaningfulReleaseDate:
46** The "Hero Of The Year" movie came out on DVD on August 23, 2016, while the episode "Dude, Where's My Invisible Jet" came out two days later. Both have Wonder Woman as a main character, which makes sense since Grey [=DeLisle=] Griffin, her voice actress, had her birthday on August 24.
47** The episodes "Batgirl VS Supergirl" and "The Ares Up There" came out just after ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' and ''Film/WonderWoman2017'', respectively.
48* TheOtherDarrin:
49** The Lego shorts and projects based on the series sees Creator/AshlynSelich replace Creator/MaeWhitman as Batgirl. This eventually carried over into season 5 of the main series. She's also replaced as Speed Queen.
50** The Lego Brain Drain movie sees Grey [=DeLisle=]-Griffin replacing Alexis G. Zall as Lois Lane. This doubles as a role reprise.
51** Also related to the Lego projects based on the series, Female Furies Lashina, Artemiz, and Mad Harriet are voiced by Meredith Salinger, Rachael [=MacFarlane=], and Jennifer Hale respectively rather than Creator/JessicaDiCicco, Teala Dunn, and Misty Lee.
52** The Lego projects sees Creator/TomKenny voicing the Kryptomites instead of Creator/FredTatasciore.
53* OutOfOrder: Some episodes from seasons 2 and 3 air out of order. For example, Beast Boy's Hero Of The Month short is a season 2 episode airing during early season 3. At the very least, the episodes are numbered.
54** The "Galactic Wonder" special appears to take place ''after'' the "Brain Drain" movie, but it was released a few months earlier.
55** An interesting case is with "Fortress Of Solidarity". Despite it airing in and being branded for season 5, it's actually meant to be part of season 4 due to using the old animation, being written by Shea Fontana, and Mae Whitman voicing Batgirl instead of Ashlyn Selich.
56* PlayingAgainstType:
57** Subverted with Creator/TaraStrong as Harley and Ivy. Normally, this would be the case, but their Adaptational Heroism here makes them more in line with the character types she usually plays, such as Genki girls for the former and shrinking violets for the latter
58** Played straight however with Creator/MaeWhitman and Misty Lee as Female Furies Speed Queen and Mad Harriet. They usually play heroic characters, like Batgirl and Big Barda in this series.
59** Creator/FredTatasciore uses a higher register when voicing the Kryptomites. He usually voices deep voiced characters.
60** While Sinestro's an AdaptationalNiceGuy in "Intergalactic Games", going from a villain to just a strict headmaster, it's still unusual for Creator/TomKenny to voice him.
61*** At least until the Season 4 four-part "Ring Me Maybe" when it shown he's trying to rebuild Korugar Academy's student body (after the "Intergalactic Games" movie) by kidnapping Wonder Woman, Starfire, the Flash and Supergirl.
62** Cristina Pucelli's usual character types are Genki Girls and shrinking violets. Miss Martian fits one of those tropes, but Catwoman and Amethyst don't. While the former has gone through Adaptational heroism, she's still a morally ambiguous rebel. The latter is a serious, no nonsense princess.
63* RoleReprise:
64** 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.
65** Tara Strong reprises her respective ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' and ''VideoGame/LegoBatman'' roles as Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
66** Mae Whitman reprises her ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' as Batgirl for the first 4 seasons. Ashlyn Selich, who voices her starting in season 5, previously voiced her in this franchise's Lego projects.
67** Tara Strong, Creator/HyndenWalch, Creator/GregCipes, Creator/KharyPayton, and Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson reprise their respective ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' roles as Raven, Starfire and Blackfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Trigon.
68** Gorilla Grodd is voiced by Creator/JohnDiMaggio (reprising the role from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' ).
69** Creator/JoshKeaton reprises his roles as Green Lantern and The Flash from ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths'' respectively.
70** The young Kari [=McCabe=] on ''WesternAnimation/{{Vixen}}'' is voiced by Creator/KimberlyBrooks, a role she reprises here due to the character's AgeLift to a teenager.
71** Cree Summer and Masasa Moyo voice Thunder and Lightning, reprising the role from DC Nation.
72** Fred Tatasciore reprises the roles of Solomon Grundy and Killer Croc from the ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'' respectively.
73** The ''Lego Supervillain High'' movie has Dr. Fate voiced by his ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' voice actor, Kevin Michael Richardson.
74* SelfAdaptation: All of the graphic novel tie-ins were written by series creator Shea Fontana (with the exception of the bonus chapter for the final graphic novel ''Spaced Out'' that showed a sneak peek for [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls2019 the next continuity]], which was written by Sholly Fisch).
75* ShortRunInPeru: A few episodes in late season 2 and 3 premiered on demand and on the Cartoon Network website before their debut on Website/YouTube.
76* ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy: The 12 inch dolls' clothings, for the most part, are pretty accurate the to the character design present across the webisodes and other visual media. The bodily and facial proportions, however, are more exaggerated and give off a [[SuperDeformed "super-deformed"]] vibe. Harley's doll has a conspiciously different hairstyle, too- while she has the pigtails, her hair is parted on the side and out of her face, while the design she represents has central-parted hair with messy bangs that frame her face.
77* 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]].
