The Iolande-Ragnar-a GL is murdered plot was loosely adapted from the comics.
Young Justice
Sportsmaster (and Paula) being Artemis' parents are straight out of the comics. Cheshire's relation was made for the show. I applauded the staff for making Paula's former villain handle Huntress instead of Tigress. They really are gunning for sticking to the chronology of the comics (Huntress was Paula's first codename in the comics then later it became Tigress).
Agreed on Red Arrow being a total butthead. I'm thinking he's a brainwashed mole who doesn't know he's the mole.
I dug they showed Red Tornado working on his John Smith android body (his alias in the comics). It continues from "Terrors" when Martian Manhunter mentioned he suggested the name for Red. Also all the holiday items for several religions in his apartment was a nice touch nodding his ongoing study of humanity.
New Teen Titans
I laughed when Silkie tumbled out of Beast Boy's ear as Starfire rummaged around inside.
Superman of Tokyo
Agreed, hate it, too. ha ha.

Young Justice: I doubt Red Arrow is the mole. That would be too pat. I WANT him to be the mole. So he isn't. The mole has gotta be brainwashed Superboy.
New Teen Titans: Silkie!
Superman Of Tokyo: Who are these shorts supposed to appeal to anyways? Because comic fans hate them and I'm betting kids think they are stupid. They need to get gone and stay gone.

You're welcome, Matt.
Young Justice
True, true. I'll stick to my guns and say it's Red Arrow.
DC Nation
I'm not sure either, Matt. I recall from a recent interview with Ben Jones that there only real directive is to stay away from the Big Seven - Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter - and pick the most obscure characters and designs that you wouldn't necessarily see in a full length series. But based on some of the shorts there is some wiggle room for Batman and Superman to pop in.
There are at least two shorts coming up that will be more somber and serious in tone than what we've seen so far.

The Atom will be based on the Sword of the Atom mini series. Batman: The Brave and The Bold did an episode in season three that adopted elements of it, the aptly titled "Sword of the Atom!"

Oh yeah, and the Doom Patrol one's producer/director is Ben Jones.
