Shaq meets Supes! (Could it have work?)

[Antiyonder]

Static Shock has had various guest star centric episodes, either celebrity or JL heroes.

The episode Toys In The Hood was to originally have Shaquille O'Neal meeting Superman.


Image"It was the usual combination of happenstance and circumstance," says Semper. "Alan Burnett wanted to have Shaquille O'Neal come on as a guest star again this season. Shaq had done an episode in an earlier season (before my time on the show), so Burnett wanted to bring him back. I thought it would be fun to bring in Superman and have Shaq and Superman meet for the first time. That would make it a bit of history, since Shaq is such a Superman fan. This took a bit of convincing on my part, but finally Burnett seemed okay with the idea."

I think it would make for an interesting story idea. From what I hear "Static Shaq" was one of better celebrity episodes.

As for the animated Burt Ward bit, assuming the Back To The Batcave flashbacks were accurate, Burt Ward is apparently a Superman fan. Even would pretend to be Superboy as a child.

Odd coincidence. I was just reading an article about the "Steel" movie Shaq starred in. He thought he'd get the chance to fly during the movie, but found out he was wrong. He thought there'd be references to Superman. He was wrong there too!

Poor guy. Let's hope he never heard about this possible episode. It'd break his hero-sized heart.

I just want to go on record as saying that whole grenade free throw shoot in that movie is in my top ten stupidest scenes in cinema history. Can't say too much about a Static, Superman, Shaq( Triple S ) seeing as I loathed most static shock episodes( Like Toys in the Hood ) but hey Batman got to show up thre times why not have Superman get another chance to be redeemed...hypothetically speaking of course.
