Pretty well done, IMO. And my son loved it.

Wow, I can't believe you guys haven't replied to this thread. This series is geared toward kids but old school fans might enjoy the first ever Legion cartoon. It's lots of fun.  :wink:

Look for special cameos

Astound at the first meeting between Clark and Legion members

Gasp at the frightening Fatal Five

I tend to discourage my kids from watching TV, especially on weekends when I can play with them.  That said, this past Saturday I needed a break and turned on the tube about 10:26 EST, just in time to see Superboy fly to the front of a formation of Legionnaires as the show ended!  :cry:  I'd forgotten it'd be on the new CW, which wonder of wonders I actually get (even though I don't have cable).

Next week I'll try and catch it.  Most of what I hear has been favorable.  And my 3-year-old is getting to the point where he really wants to know why Daddy's so into Superman.  Might be something we can enjoy together.

I have a satellite dish with a bijillion channels, but no CW. Maybe they'll make it available for download later.

I'm really glad that they included Superboy, though  :D

Sweet!  Thanks for the links.

Great fun all around.  Love the clubhouse; they kept the "inverted rocket" design but made it much cooler.

I'm also seriously digging that 70s-style theme song.  :D

I don't know yet.

I've only watched the 1st 2 eps and really hated Timber Wolf's new look. Also it is geared way too much for the younger audience but I guess they want a teenage super group to catch kids attention kind of like the Teen Titans TV show.

Really I was hoping for a Levitz/Cockrum/Sherman/Grell style but maybe I was expecting too much.

Wouldn't a CGI movie based on the the Khunds invasion be awesome? Yeah!!!

I only saw two episodes. That's because I would not get up early on a weekend for the Second Coming.

But from what I saw...unlike the Dini/Timm stuff, this series,"skews young" in a way I'm not comfortable with.

I did enjoy the episode set on Lightning Lad's planet, because they visually represented it well. Imagine, a world of mostly twins!

There was another episode I enjoyed considerably less, involving a Mr. Mxyzptlk type character from Sorceror's World. All those classic Legion enemies, they picked some kid in a hat?

4Kids, after taking over the WB, cancelled Legion of Super Heroes season 3, leaving a lot of loose plotlines, including the prospect of Brainiac 5's return, and the looming threat of the evil Brainiac, which came from Brainiac 5's robotic parts. Cancelling season 3 left the Legion of Super Heroes series hugely unfinished.

So, its 4kids who I thank for canceling LOSH  >:(

I really liked how the first season gave an alternative route of how Clark became Superboy.

They still could have moved the show to Cartoon Network, so I would guess that 4Kids wasn't the only reason why the show was cancelled.
