Trivia[]

A Japanese trailer came out on of February, 17th 2021^[1].
- The Japanese Trailer shows different footage from the English trailer.
An English trailer with the American release date came out on February 19, 2021. ^[2]
The trailer received negative reviews from viewers on both Twitter and YouTube, despite the game having yet to be released.
- The reason for the negative reviews is either because the people are uninterested in or strongly dislike the show, or because of the "terrible" graphics.
The trailer shows that Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman are all playable characters. Zatanna, Green Lantern, and Bumblebee are non-player characters.
- This is similar to Super Best Friends Forever, as they were the only three characters made at the time (except Wonder Woman, who is instead Wonder Girl).
The gameplay shares similarities to Persona series.
This is the first DCSHG video game exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Star Sapphire are revealed to be playable characters. Poison Ivy, Giganta, and Livewire are allies, bosses or non-playable characters.
In a video they show that Livewire and Giganta will be allies, but it remains unknown if Poison Ivy will be an ally, a playable character or a boss.
In the game, Carol is shown in her red cheerleading outfit (which she wore in Hate Triangle) rather than her pink one she always wears in the series.
Several of the alternative skins used by the playable characters are based on other versions of themselves, both in the comics and their various adaptations:
- Batgirl: Her hero outfits are from her stages in DC Rebirth and "The Art of the Crime" arc.
- Supergirl: Her hero outfits are from her DCAU version in Superman: The Animated Series and the New 52 stage.
- Wonder Woman: Her hero outfits are from the New 52 stage.
- Harley Quinn: Her villain outfit with her hair painted in red-black and her white skin is based on her New 52 stage, while her civilian clothes alternate in red and black with the white t-shirt is inspired by her DC Rebirth stage.
- Star Sapphire: Her villain outfits are directly taken from different facets in the comics: the classic outfit from the Silver Age (pink with white) and the one from her New 52 stage (magenta and black).
- Catwoman: Her villain outfits are also taken from the comics, both from the New Earth and Earth Prime stages.
