** Creator/AdamBaldwin was the first choice for the role of [[Comicbook/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] before Creator/TimDaly was cast. Baldwin would eventually go on to voice the titular character in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanDoomsday''.
** [[Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperboy Sherman Howard]] read for the role of Comicbook/LexLuthor before the casting of Creator/ClancyBrown. Howard previously portrayed the character in ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperboy'' and would later go on to voice [[Main/BigBad Derek Powers]] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''.
** An early idea was to have the series be a TeamUpSeries, with each episode featuring Superman partnering with different members of the Justice League. Timm did up concept art of a number of different heroes like ComicBook/{{Vixen}}, Mister Miracle, Orion and Lightray of the ComicBook/NewGods, ComicBook/TheQuestion, Nightshade (who would've sported a ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}-inspired outfit), and ComicBook/BlackLightning. The idea was jettisoned out of fear that Superman would be overshadowed in his own show.
** The intro was originally supposed to be a montage of Superman performing heroic deeds. However, for whatever reason, this was mostly scrapped in favor of using series clips; the only original footage in the intro wound up being the bit where Superman flies across the city at night, and the very end as the camera zooms in in the S-crest.
** "The Prometheon" was originally supposed to end with [[HistoryRepeats other aliens finding the dormant creature and accidentally awakening it again]], but [[https://dcanimated.com/WF/superman/backstage/interviews/berkowitz.php it was cut because the episode was too long already.]]
** Creator/PaulDini and Creator/BruceTimm originally wanted to use Kara Zor-El as Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, but they were denied by DC Comics due to the then-current "Superman is the ''only'' survivor of Krypton" edict. Although they went as close as they could get, with Kara being Clark's ''adopted'' cousin and from Krypton's "sister planet", Argo (a MythologyGag to that side of the House of El living in ''Argo'' City in the comics), essentially making her as close to Kryptonian as possible. An additional MythologyGag is her family name - Kara Zor-El's mother was named Allura ''In-Ze'', with said surname given to the show's interpretation of Kara.
** Cat Grant was originally meant to be part of the main cast and even had a character design done up for her but she was dropped in favor of Angela Chen.

Since Creator/BruceTimm wanted to avert DeathIsCheap the target character was switched.
*** Prof. Hamilton was also considered to be killed, but the staff didn't particularly like him as a character and didn't know if they could make his death tragic enough as a result.
** [[http://worldsfinestonline.com/WF/superman/backstage/interviews/dorkindyer.php The original, much darker plans]] for [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E27E28LittleGirlLost "Little Girl Lost"]] involved Superman discovering that Darkseid was turning humans into Parademons, with heavy [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi overtones]] for the transformation camps, and the episode ended in the midst of a large scale battle on Apokolips. The authors do like the finished episode, but were very disappointed with the heavy backtracking after they had already been given the go-ahead for the initial plot.
** [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E12E13Legacy "Legacy"]] was intended to kick off a season's worth of episodes about Superman regaining the world's trust. However, a pushback and other projects (''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'') led to it being produced as the finale instead while the theme of public distrust for metahumans became an underlying plot thread in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
** Lex's robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' was going to be given by Superman to Batman - a modern twist on one of the [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batcave's]] most iconic trophies. Ultimately, though, the DCAU never really depicted the Batcave's trophy room outside of a few cameos in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' and [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/e83a45f0e6a6d024f8ba9921716cee9b/tumblr_inline_n7dwvv8KHv1rnr0e9.jpg the tie-in comics]].
*** The original ending to [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS1E5ALittlePieceOfHome "A Little Piece of Home"]] would have also included Superman giving the piece of Kryptonite from the episode to Batman for safe keeping.
** There were some art sketches of girls for the strip bar scene in [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E16To18WorldsFinest "World's Finest"]]. They wore nothing but black bikinis and long black leather boots. The final cut of the episode had the girls in flirty dresses instead.
** During the development phase, they considered making the show a period piece and even initially designed the [[http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/uploads/JohnWLeys/2006-01-22_102246_002.jpg characters with a look that would have fit more in the 1940s.]] [[note]] This art style would have been in line with the designs from the earlier seasons of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. [[/note]] The idea was scrapped because they didn't want the show to be compared to the ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheatricalCartoons'' and went for a more modern look instead.
** An interview with [[https://mobile.twitter.com/dcauwatchtower/status/1307727247718010880 Dan Riba]] revealed how General Zod and Ursa would've appeared in the series, even going as far as to have character designs. They were then scrapped. Dan thought that they were rights issues involved with Zod.
** [[https://twitter.com/JTuckerAnimator/status/1409961267209506818 Bruce Timm]] wanted Perry White to be black, but was vetoed. [[Film/ManOfSteel Funny how that worked out.

** [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E7InBrightestDay "In Brightest Day..."]] shows struggling artist Kyle Rayner trying and failing to get his art out there the old fashioned way as he works for the Daily Planet Art Department. Today, he would undoubtedly have a Tumblr or Twitter account and probably a Website/DeviantArt account where he could promote his work on line. The episode also reflects how, at the time, Kyle was the main Comicbook/GreenLantern in the comics instead of Hal Jordan.
** Much like sequel series ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', it also tended to reflect the state of DC Comics a lot of the time, hence Kyle as GL, ComicBook/WallyWest as the Flash, and Supergirl not being a blood cousin of Superman.

** An early idea was to have the series be a team-up show, with each episode featuring Superman partnering with different members of the Justice League. Timm did up concept art of a number of different heroes like Comicbook/{{Vixen}}, Mister Miracle, Orion and Lightray of the Comicbook/NewGods, Comicbook/TheQuestion, Nightshade (who would've sported a Comicbook/{{Psylocke}}-inspired outfit), and Comicbook/BlackLightning. The idea was jettisoned out of fear that Superman would be overshadowed in his own show.
