## Trivia

* This would be a horror-action film where we see everyone come together, very similar to Stranger Things.
* Dick Grayson is the heart of the team, shown mostly through his interactions with the everyone and their deep trust in him.
* Raven's powers are based off her emotional and mental state. We see her multiple times throughout the film struggle with controlling herself and her magic.
* Raven subconsciously creates a telepathic link connected to herself, Dick, Kory, Garfield and Tera -- to help her stop the darkness pouring out of her, however, this inadvertently causes her to 'share' her nightmares and fears with the others.
* In this universe, all the stories and legends of Satan originate from Trigon.
* Starfire has amnesia for most of the film, only getting her memory back towards the end of the final act.
* Kory and Dick have a natural chemistry, considering each other star-crossed lovers. Dick is able to make Kory fall in love with him when she has nearly no memory, while Kory is the first person Dick opens up to since his fallout with Bruce.
* This movie is the introduction of Starfire, Raven and Terra into the universe, as Nightwing was introduced in his solo and Beast Boy was introduced in Doom Patrol.
* The film takes place in Blüdhaven, Gotham and Midway City.
* The post-credits scene is Blackfire making war preparations to invade earth, teasing *Starfire's film*.
