Obvious retcons aside, this has to be the second most out of place show in the DCAU after Zeta.
Speaking of the retcons, did they ever explain away the line about Clark Kent?

In the episode "They're Playing My Song" Static mentions, "Even Clark Kent has a day job". Before the episode "The Big Leagues", Static Shock was not a part of the DC Animated Universe, and comic book heroes were fictional in the show. When the series became part of the DCAU, this line was cut off from subsequent reruns.

So basically, they just edited the episode and declared the orignal version non-canon?
Check out this video about what ever happen to Static.

I remember loving the episodes with DC heroes.
Why was it out of place?

It didn't feel out of place for me. The show fit right in. Now the Zeta Project feels not of place.

I am surprised they gave enough of a shit to do that.

Sometimes there's weird wrinkles when realities merge that get flattened out over time. Just look at current situation with Superman. He's two guys who merged into one guy who has a weird mish mash of both guys' memories. Now that leads to a bunch of questions about how certain events took place and how certain characters even exist anymore.

when is the comic book industry going to understand that the Morrison approach to canon is the only way to apporach stories without creating convluted conintuity monsters while also paying homage to what came before?
Not in a "philosophical" way either, Morrisons method allows publishers to money grub which is how the industry works and what character / plot gets thrown away for anyway.

What exactly is Morrison's method.

>"I think any good, long-running thoroughly-developed fictional character will naturally come to have many faces and aspects. Batman's had 70 years to build up quite a complex and layered 'personality'.
Of course, one of my all-time favourite Batman panels was written by Haney and drawn by Jim Aparo and shows Batman strolling down the sunlit streets of Gotham, checking out the mini-skirted girls and accompanied by the line to end all lines: 'Yes, Batman digs this day!'"
That's from an interview of his and it's a good basic start. In the simplest terms, everything ever written is part of the character in some way or another.
