* DistressBall: Starfire. She actually forgets that ''she can fly'' and has to be snatched out of the air mid-drop by Robin, who has no super-powers. Ironically, one fan once remarked on a forum that if such a thing ever happened she would be called out on it, as it would be an obvious ploy to attract Robin's attention. Instead it was played painfully straight. [[FridgeBrilliance However, given that an early-season episode shows that her powers are linked to her emotional state, including flight, and that a later-season episode also acknowledging this by causing her to be grounded in an episode where she was to unhappy to fly, this might be justified given the event of the movie.]]
