Adaptational Villainy: Toyman is usually a villain, but what's surprising is which one is the villain it's Hiro Okumara, aka the heroic Toyman/Toymaster, instead of a villain like Winslow Schott.

Here, he's a deadpan, wise-cracking sorcerer and paranormal investigator with a much friendlier but still smarmy personality, and he's also a member of the Justice League. While he's still a good guy, he's a smarmy, cynical, self-centered, chain-smoking, alcoholic con-man with a low opinion of superheroes and a habit of pushing people away in the comics. It should be noted that this is the Caitlin Snow version, who is a much friendlier and more tragic character.

Killer Frost is a lot nicer (and that's saying a lot) compared to other animated adaptations of the character.

And it's Revisiting the Roots for Harley, as she is back in her jester attire instead of her Stripperific costumes. cleavage-heavy costumes of the female heroes from the comics are a lot more modest here. Really, all the Red Lanterns besides Atrocitus, who's already really smart, are actually able to make constructs instead of just being rage machines.

Dex-Starr is also very smart for a cat.

Solomon Grundy has typically been shown as a Dumb Muscle henchman for most of the more brilliant villains, but he was able to make a really good plan, surprisingly enough, in 'Zombie King'.

While she's a thorn in Space Cabbie's side due to her cheaper rates, she amiably gives rides to a stranded Green Lantern and Space Cabbie himself (to his unhappiness).

Roxy Rocket is Space Cabbie's rival intergalactic ride-for-hire rather than a D-List supervillain.

Bizarro is The Friend Nobody Likes to the Justice League rather than a member of their Rogues Gallery.

Nigma, Consulting Detective', Riddler appears and works with the heroes, both in an effort to go straight (ala the 'Detective Nigma' era for the character) and because he's angry with Joker stealing his gimmick.

Fitting into this is Atrocitus, as his first appearance is him wanting to punish Lobo for stealing from him and ultimately accepts a truce with the League when he realizes they've been played.

Adaptational Dye-Job: Green Lantern Hal Jordan, who is a brunet in most incarnations, has black hair in this series.In this show, Mongul's still good on the 'Bruiser' part, being a powerful physical threat to Superman, but beyond that, he's one of the dumbest and least intelligent incarnations of the character to date. Adaptational Dumbass: Most incarnations of Mongul tend to be Genius Bruiser villains who can speak eloquently like a refined gentleman while brutally beating you to death at the same time.Calculator has always been more a planner than a fighter, but here he's able to hack Mister Terrific's T-Spheres and use them to not only fight him into a corner, but to separate Firestorm back into Ronnie and Prof.FATE) and temporarily GET the Helmet of Fate! Fate's arch nemesis in Young Justice, but here? He's able to overpower three of the most powerful mages of DC (Zatanna, Constantine and DR. Yes he's taken over Etrigan in The New Batman Adventures and was Dr. Klarion the Witch Boy also gets in this boat as well.(Merlin and the wizard Shazam are probably the most powerful magic-users.) Constantine: While still powerful like his comic book counterpart, he's now able to stand up to Superman and Black Adam-level threats with ease, likely the most powerful caster of magic who doesn't have a beard.While still using Hulk Speak, he is actually a crafty and patient planner, along with having a knowledge of the occult to back up his immense strength. In this series, not only does he still have his usual powers, he can now cast spells and use his Black Lightning as an Imagination-Based Superpower. Especially 'Dad' being able to take on Firestorm one on one. Another example is the Nuclear Family, showing them off to a great degree.He even manages to trick Kanto, Darkseid's personal assassin! Mind is one of the smartest villains in the DCU initially by outsmarting him. Space Cabbie is able to help Superman in his chase against Lobo note Whereas his sole previous encounter in him with the comics was as an imperiled, if unfazed, hostage, and even catches Mr.Adaptational Attractiveness: Atrocitus looks far less monstrous than he does in the comics.Appropriately, the in-universe Hamill drives a wedge between the Trickster and the Joker by mimicking their voices to lure them to a place with grass so Swamp Thing could save him. Adam Westing: The short 'Missing the Mark' features Mark Hamill As Himself, being kidnapped by the Joker and the Trickster, and being saved by Swamp Thing.

Ultimately, due to horrendous scheduling and lack of advertising on the part of Cartoon Network, the series failed to attract an audience and was canceled in 2018 after only one season.
