Static Shock/DCAU Questions.

[Antiyonder]

1. Out of curiousity, did Dwanye McDuffie plan for Static Shock to be part of the DCAU since before Season 1 was finished, or was it more of an after thought during the development of "The Big Leagues"?

2. "A League Of Their Own" as many here know was to have been a Static/Teen Titans Crossover. Did the animators get to do a drawing of The Titans before the story was changed?

2a. If yes, have the designs been shown online?

2b. Any idea as to how they would designed? You know like: Justice League Style, Static Shock Style (Minus Robin), or a blend of both as well as their anime version?

Thanks

I had no idea it was supposed to be a TT crossover, I'm kind of curious what that would have looked like myself.

For those interested in what Mr. McDuffie had to say about planning "A League of Their Own" (from Karkull's Watchtower at http://jl.toonzone.net/episodeA/episodeA.htm):


I remember Alan Burnett was in the planning stages of a Teen Titans crossover and the concern was voiced that the Static episode would air before Teen Titans premiered. Someone from the studio asked how we felt about doing Justice League instead and I guess it's obvious how we responded. I'd still like to see Static meet the Titans someday, though. [As it currently stands], it's a large-scale story worthy of the Justice League, but it's fundamentally a Static Shock story. It will feel like two episodes of Static Shock with cool guest stars. Also, didn't that producer guy on the show mention Beast Boy in the episode in which Static gets his own reality TV show?
