Trivia[]
- LaMarr's casting as Black Manta is ironic given that he previously voiced Manta's archenemy, Aquaman, on Young Justice.
- LaMarr's casting is also coincidental with the fact that he starred as Black Vulcan on Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. In that show LaMarr's character resented Aquaman for giving him his superhero name, believing it to be a racial slur.
