Trivia
This is the premiere of the seventh season.
This was the first episode to premiere in 2021 on Cartoon Network.
This is the 300th episode of the series, a milestone that only Scooby-Doo and Ben 10 (Franchise) have ever achieved.
In terms of Cartoon Network originals, it is indeed the 2nd Cartoon Network show to reach 300.
According to Talya Perper who boarded the first part of this episode, she did a frame-to-frame research on Jabbawockeez videos for their choreography. [1]
Vibe, who was first mentioned in "My Name is Jose", physically debuts in this episode.
This is Doom Patrol's first appearance since their debut in Beast Boy's That's What's Up miniseries.
Mr. Freeze picture can be seen on the truck when it was delivering the fridge.
This episode reveals that Aquaman speaks an unintelligible fish language that makes him sound like a dolphin.
This is the first "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star" episode in which the Titans East don't appear or compete. Speedy is seen competing alongside Artemis instead.
Continuity
Raven is unhooded for the 115th and 116th time.
This is the fourth "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star" installment.
This also serves as the sequel to "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Justice League Edition".
Robin talks with his hand once again.
The Hive is shown competing in this episode, as they previously competed in Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Second Greatest Team Edition.
Vibe takes Dummy Robin's place as the fifth judge, due to the fact that his whereabouts are unknown as of Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Justice League Edition.
Robin's one-sided crush on Starfire is displayed once again as she rejects him to form the Baseball Dance Crew with Raven.
However, Robin apologizes for his behavior at the end and Starfire is happy for him.
Beast Boy and Raven's feelings for each other made a slight appearance in Part 1 when the two engaged in a hug and held hands after both teams made it to the finals. (It's worth mentioning that Cyborg and Starfire held hands too, but not for nearly as long as Beast Boy and Raven did.)
Beast Boy also called her "Mama" while praising her (and Starfire's) dancing act with Raven happily thanking him.

The baseball uniforms and dance of Starfire and Raven are direct references to the 1992 baseball movie A League of Their Own.
When Beast Boy gets hit in the eye by a baseball bat and starts crying, Cyborg says, "There's no crying in Baseball!" which is one of Tom Hanks' famous quotes from the said movie.
The act performed by two people dressed as a cube of outer space and jar of jelly is a reference to the 1996 movie Space Jam.
The act performed by Detective Chimp and Swamp Thing is a reference to the 1981 comedy movie My Dinner With Andre.

Cyborg and Beast Boy's second dance is based on the 1993 movie The Fugitive.
