*** Ignoring the fact that his parents died when he was a child, this version's backstory is more accurate to the original Golden Age version when he debuted where he was raised in an orphanage and had to figure out his powers on his own.

* ''ComicBook/TeenTitansGo'': This series integrates more material from the source comics than ''Teen Titans 2003''.
** This series introduces Sarah Simms, one of Cyborg's {{Love Interest}}s from the ''New Teen Titans''.
** Issue 8 has Mad Mod using hypnotic clothes, referencing his comic origins as a fashion designer.
** Issue 43 sees the creation of the Fearsome Five, the five-man team that Jinx, Gizmo, Mammoth, Dr. Light, and Psimon all belonged to in the ''New Teen Titans''.
** Issue 46 belatedly introduces Starfire's little brother, albeit under the name "Wildfire", unique to this comic. (In the source comics, Ryand'r's name works out to "Darkfire").
** Issue 49 briefly shows Wintergreen residing in Slade's old residence with a picture of Slade himself in safari gear, looking exactly like he does in the source material.

* In the comics, Gizmo is an adult with dwarfism -- a fact only kept by his counterpart in ''VideoGame/SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague'', as both ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' gave Gimzo an AgeLift into a BrattyHalfPint and ''Series/Titans2018'' depicted Gimzo as AbledInTheAdaptation (he's an adult, like in the comics, but is of average height instead or a little person).

** In ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', William Wintergreen was Australian and became an AdaptationalJerkass since he betrayed ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} and ''Series/Titans2018'' depicted Wintergreen as younger than Slade and an African-American. While still depicting Wintergreen as a black man like in ''Titans'', the ''WesternAnimation/DeathstrokeKnightsAndDragons'' version of Wintergreen is truer in that he's an ally of Slade, around the same age as Slade, and -- given he's voiced by Creator/ColinSalmon using his normal voice -- presumably from the UK.
** The 2003 cartoon had its version of the ComicBook/DoomPatrol [[AdaptedOut omit]] the Chief with Mento [[CompositeCharacter replacing him as the team's leader]]. When the Doom Patrol was added to the continuity of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' in that show's sixth season, while Elasti-Girl became [[RaceLift black]] and Negative Man became the [[AgeLift much younger]] Negative [[GenderFlip Girl]], the Chief is reinstated as leader of the Doom Patrol (and ironically replaces the now omitted Mento as Beast Boy's adoptive father).
** ''Teen Titans Go!'' has Beast Boy speak while in his animal forms like in the comics, when the 2003 cartoon consistently only had Beast Boy talk while in human form.

* Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}
** [[Characters/ArrowverseDinahLaurelLance Dinah Laurel Lance (Earth-2) / Black Siren / Black Canary]] is this in many ways compared to Laurel (and the other Canaries, really).
*** Unlike the original Earth-1 Dinah Laurel Lance, she has the organic metahuman cry the character is known for.
*** Unlike the original Earth-1 Dinah Laurel Lance, it is heavily hinted that she actually goes by Dinah instead of MiddleNameBasis. She only really goes by Laurel due to; a.) she's stuck in her DeadAlternateCounterpart's universe, b.) she made a DeadPersonImpersonation of said counterpart, and c.) there are already [[OneSteveLimit two living Dinahs]] there (though she debuted first than the one who regularly uses the name).
*** Black Canary debuted as a villain on a ''Franchise/TheFlash'' medium, much like she did. [[note]]though of course The Flash in question was Jay Garrick instead of Barry Allen. Also the Black Canary in question was Dinah Drake instead of Dinah (Laurel) Lance, and she was later revealed as TheMole instead of an actual (misguided) villain[[/note]].
*** Her overall backstory [[note]]Black Canary from an AlternateUniverse with dead loved ones who went to the main universe to start over and eventually resume her DeadAlternateCounterpart's mantle[[/note]] is largely lifted from the ''Injustice'' comics.

** Darkseid in the DCAU resembles his formidable comic book counterpart more than his [[WesternAnimation/SuperFriends first, weaker depiction]]. His baffling fascination with Wonder Woman, tendency to play second fiddle to Superman, the lacklustre Omega Beams, and his preference for scheming over fighting are gone. Instead, Darkseid possesses raw intellect and strength, allowing him to go toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel. He is portrayed as a looming threat, forcing Earth's heroes and villains to unite against him in the finale of ''Unlimited''. And the Omega Beams are a one-way ticket to doom, as Dan Turpin tragically discovered.

** The series' take on the Fourth World is more faithful to Creator/JackKirby's conception than the Comics' reworkings of Kirby after his departure and AbortedArc. Darkseid is the GalacticConqueror searching for the Anti-Life Equation, he and his agents operate behind the scenes of crime syndicate like Intergang, and he serves as TheCorrupter and TheChessmaster. All the character designs of the New Gods: Darkseid, Desaad, Kalibak, Steppenwolf, Orion, Mr. Miracle, Big Barda, are very much in keeping with Kirby.
