** The episode "Hard as Nails" was originally intended to feature Killer Croc or Bane coming to Dakota to recruit a gang of meta-humans, though the plot was ultimately scrapped due to feeling too similar to previous episodes of both Batman: The Animated Series and Static Shock.

* WordOfGay: According to Creator/DwayneMcDuffie, Richie is gay. [[http://forums.delphiforums.com/Milestone/messages?msg=425.232 McDuffie]] [[https://archive.li/fc0aW#selection-1783.456-1783.491 said]] that he hinted at this fact through Richie's [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday overly-enthusiastic statements to the contrary.]] If Dwanye was still alive today then Richie’s sexually wouldn't need to be an implied trope anymore.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: More like ''Real Life Does the Voice Acting'' for the Mexican Spanish dub: ''Static Shock'' was one of the first Creator/WarnerBros-owned series outside of the ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' franchise from the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse to have been dubbed in Mexico rather than Venezuela due to internal policies regarding Latin American voice acting and a nationwide strike against then Venezuelan president UsefulNotes/HugoChavez in the 2000s. It also caused the side effect for ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Batman]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Superman]]'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' characters to be voiced by Mexican voice actors instead of their Venezuelan established voice cast.
