* DeducingTheSecretIdentity:
** When Barbara first becomes Batgirl, or "Batwoman" as she originally preferred, the costume she made covers her eyes and most of her hair, so that her dad doesn't recognize her without his glasses. Batman, however, figures out immediately that "Batgirl" is Barbara Gordon for a good number of reasons: her hair color and voice are the same, and they move with a gymnastics style while fighting. Plus, Barbara said she wanted to help Batman save her friend Pamela. Pamela became Poison Ivy when she called him for help, and he rebuffed her.
** Barbara manages to figure out Batman's identity in a later episode. But, thanks to the ContrivedCoincidence, [[AmnesiaDanger Batman lost his memory about being Batman]]. The result: Barbara decides that she made a mistake. Batman later told her his secret identity when he made her his official sidekick.
** D.A.V.E., a super-intelligent robot, deduces Batman's identity by cross-referencing everyone in Gotham City against Batman's gender, approximate age, build, resources, and motivation to fight crime, and attempts to use this to manipulate him.
** Batman is able to deduce Superman's identity by tracking the trail of micro-sonicbooms he makes and notices he frequents two locations in particular; the Daily Planet building, and an apartment building that's home to Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent.

** Barry Allen is Characters/TheFlash in this show instead of Wally West, a detail which separates both shows from the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. Although neither series explains the origins of these characters, [[AdaptationExplanationExtrication the comics tell us that Allen is West's similarly-powered uncle]], leading Wally to [[HeroicLineage don the "Kid Flash" persona]].
