Static Shock while diffrent to the other shows was still fun a lot of times , it was not as good as the core DCAU but was still good when you got in to it

I hate to say it...but Static Shock is the TBG of the DCAU. There's no denying it.

 

[Iceshadow]

Tbg?

 

[Gothamite]

Tbg?

TBG.

I thought that was the green lantern

Static Shock is the TBG series. Green Lantern is just the TBG character of JLU.

Ahhh yes.

Still fun though

 

[Gothamite]

Absolutely. My friends and I all loved Static Shock. It only became even more fun for me when I realised it was part of the DCAU. It does seem different and lighter to the DCAU on a whole, but the more the merrier!

It originally wasn't supposed to and there's evidence that it wasn't at first (Static says "Even Clark Kent had a day job" and then, later, he met Superman and didn't know his secret identity), but eventually, Superman and both Batmans (Static travels to the future and meets Terry at one point) crossed over into it and Static even shows up as a future Justice League member.

Yeah, one of the very few continuity errors in the DCAU. I also like Static Shock, it was pretty good

Another show that people often discount as part of the DCAU is The Zeta Project, a spinoff of Batman Beyond.

That's because it sucked, good idea just too light.

That's another show where I didn't know it was considered DCAU until they showed Batman in one of the episodes, just out of the blue. That was awesome.

It was spun off from an episode of Batman Beyond, Zeta and the agent chasing after him first appeared there

 

[Ultimate Houde]

The Agent chasing him wasn't the same hat was featured in Batman Beyond I think.

And in the JLU episode, where Supergirl, Green Lantern and Green Arrow meet up with the Legion, Supergirl is training in a danger type of room, the robots she is going up against are Zeta robots.

They also appear in "Fearful Symmetry".

Supergirl, The Question and Green Arrow beat up a bunch of robots and then Supergirl points out they're the same ones they use for training.

Yeah, I knew TZP was apart of the DCAU from it's conception due to that episode. It was Static Shock that was the surprise.

It was never explained, I assumed that he was just a blue Atlantean like Namorita. Also, he was less of a dick than in JL.

That reminds me, he was in like two episodes of JLU in season one then we never see him after Ultimatum. What's the deal?

The DC Character Embargo is the reason. Pretty much DC doesn't allow characters to be used in more that one tv show at a time. They think people are stupid and will get the characters confused. That and they feel it also dilutes the property.

There was actually a Aquaman show named Mercyreef that was in production and was going to be picked up by WB but WB changed to CW and it wasn't picked up. I believe there is a pilot that was made. This was right after the first Aquaman episode in Smallville.

This embargo is the same reason Robin and most of the other BTAS charaters weren't used in JLU. Teen Titans and The Batman had first dibs. Bruce Timm and company say they had already done those characters so they didn't mind much. I disagree, JLU needed Joker and Harley.

The lack of the Bat-family is one of the reason's JLU Batman was so great. I did miss the Joker a lot, though, especially during the Legion of Doom season.

At least we got Mark's encore performance as the Trickster.

I get why they did it, it really opened up the DC universe. But it would have been great to at least see them a few times

 

[Grocer Man]

There was going to be a Joker appearance in that pig episode where Joker was in the middle of a heist, sees Batman talking to Wonder Woman (who's been turned into a pig.) He then turns to his men and says, "That's it! Drop everything! We're going home!"
