Looks like it's aimed at the younger set.

Not sure if I'm 100% behind the new look, but it does seem pretty boss. I'll definitely give it a look or two, though I sincerely hope it's not quite as ADD as Teen Titans was.

 Heh, I love how they're constantly referring to Clark as Superman here. C'mon. . .admit he's Superboy. Just once. Admit it. . . ;)

 -Def.

This feels more like the new Batman series than Teen Titans.

I can see where the Teen Titans animation isn't for everyone, but I really enjoyed that animation, and had been hoping Legion would be more like it.

I like it more than I expected...

I'll support the Legion series as I did the Titans. Now the Batman show, I could never get into after watching the previous incarnation.

It's odd that they refuse to call him Superboy, just another way to stick it to his creators, after all we wouldn't want their family to profit over something they didn't create right? Cough...  :roll:

The Batman vs. Dracula movie is surprisingly good.  It's not as good as Timm/Dini, but the new Batman show has gotten better in later seasons.

Hmmm...some of those sound very familiar! :roll:

why is that a bad thing or do you mean they were recycled from the new comic?

Nonot a bad thing - some of those are classic silver age scenarios.  Sun eater = bye bye Ferro Lad.

Sniff...

At least there's no episode with Cosmic Boy being the Time Trapper... 8)

Then why the --> :roll:

If they stick to some of the original Silver Age source material I think it can only help.
The show may not be as bad as I first thought it might be.

Pethaps it shouldve been  :shock:  :wink: :s:

I hate emo-cons.

Thats what theyre called right?

After that guy Emo. :twisted:

I was hoping it would be the same animation style as JLU.

Wouldn't it be great if they used a similar style as the Paul Levitz/James Sherman comics from the late 70's?

I know it isn't gonna happen but I can hope.....can't I?
