* ScrewedByTheLawyers: The reason why Clark is specifically referred to as "Young Superman" in the show instead of "Superboy" is because at the time, DC had actually lost the rights to Superboy. As a result, despite the character clearly being Superboy, the legal issues at the time prevented the writers from actually calling him that.

** Dorian Harewood, who voices Dr. Londo in Season 2, also voiced another [[Anime/AstroBoy doctor who had issues with his son]]. Unfortunately, this one had much less of a "happy ending" vibe to it.
* CommonKnowledge: In spite of popular assumption, James Tucker explained on the World's Finest forums that ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' episode "Far From Home" was ''not'' a [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot backdoor pilot]] for a Supergirl/Legion of Super-Heroes show that got retooled into this Superman/Legion of Super-Heroes show. ''Legion of Super-Heroes'' was a demand from the network to create a Superman-centric show to tie-in with ''Film/SupermanReturns''. However, Tucker and Creator/DwayneMcDuffie have stated that ''Justice League'' would have gone off into a space-time adventure direction had it gone another season, so ''Legion of Super-Heroes'' may have been [[RefittedForSequel partially inspired by those unused plans]].

She would have later made a HeelFaceTurn (out of personal selfishness, of course) and betrayed him, gaining the galaxy's trust and running for a political position. Due to ExecutiveMeddling, however, they had to reduce the number of female characters for most of the season, and the subplot was cut.
** According to James Tucker in an [[http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=117 interview]] with World's Finest Online, had the show continued with a third season, Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} would have been introduced.
