Supergirl is officially out of the pre production stages of what will become the next DC animated effort, "Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes" is the new title, and as you can see, theres' a new main character, I guess its' due to impending premiere of Superman Returns that this decision was made. Its' also sticking closer to the roots of the original Silver Age comics, much like the Titans followed the Perez/Wolfman era closely. From pre-production designs I've seen, current concepts include Superboy wearing a belt buckle, and Lightning Lad looking badass.

Superman wont' be far behind either, with a new DTV movie starring Tim Daly as the voice of the character once again, and a new Superman cartoon from the people who brought you The Batman, animations' answer to defacing Davinchi

Now where did SuperGirl go? Would've been nice to see her again. I mean, she was a cool character on JLU...

But what the hell, I'll watch this anyways.

That's ****ing stupid. Now I won't even give the show a chance. I hope it fails miserably.

...The show is'nt even in the same continuity or timeline as JLU, Supergirl does'nt exist here. Like The Batman and Titans, it'll be its' own universe.

A world where Supergirl doesn't exist... that's a world I don't want to live in :(

Would have been cooler if it was the current Superboy, more specifically from the 90's, leather jacket and all.

If you'd actually read what he wrote then you'd notice that there's no SuperGirl in the cartoon, there's (watch out, here's the tricky part, I'll type it in bold print for you) SuperBoy (got it? If not, you just missed it). In the beginning it was said that there was going to be a "S-girl and the LOSH" cartoon which is now changed to (watch out, bold print again) "S-Boy and the LOSH". And as a S-girl fan, he has every right to complain.

Another question: Do you like the colour orange? Because that's the colour your nick will be soon if you don't drop it.

Ok, that's enough warned member. Your post made no one, but yourself look like a fool, yet again. READ THE THREAD

THIS THREAD IS ABOUT SUPERGIRL BEING REMOVED FROM THE SHOW. MY POST WAS ABOUT ME BEING UPSET THAT SUPERGIRL WAS REPLACED WITH SUPERBOY.

Do I need to say it slowly or something?

But thanks for the laugh. Your post cracked me up.

If I'm not mistaken, the next episode of JLU is going to focus on Supergirl and the Legion. At least that how it seemed during this week's closing credits.

Thats' "Far From Home", the backdoor pilot written for the show back when Supergirl was supposed to be included, its' a Dini story so it's bound to be good


Look out for a almost TOO revealing battle damaged Kara, and the best in jokes to Crisis period. Supermans' question over who her boyfreind is at the conclusion is priceless

That's an episode I'll be sure to TiVo. I love supergirl to an extreme you can;t measure.

Oh, how I wish it was Cal. I've already seen Clark as Superboy (Smallville and the Superboy TV show). I want to see some Cal representation, cause he got the shaft in Teen Titans, (Cant have more than one power house), and never showed up in any other cartoons, neither did Impulse.

Actor Adam Wylie has made an announcement on his website that he will be providing the voice for Brainiac 5 on the new Legion of Superheroes cartoon. Wylie states that the show will be on the new CW network this fall. Wylie's prior voice acting credits include guest roles in Ben 10, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and American Dragon: Jake Long.

For those unaware Brainiac 5 is the sorta descendent of Brainiac. Sorta....

Here's a pic of Adam Wylie (he sure doesn't look 22):

You can soon see him in "Entourage".

Here's his blog entry:

I'll give this show a chance only because I read Max Burbank's fantastic 2-part article about the comic, and want to see if it's as messed up as he says it is.

PART 1 (http://www.i-mockery.com/comics/dork5/default.php)
PART 2 (http://www.i-mockery.com/comics/dork6/default.php)

If the show isn't as weird as he says the comics are, I probably won't like it.

I'd probably watch and enjoy the show if they never removed Supergirl from it. But I've been waiting forever for them to give her a show, and Pow! they pulled it out from under me, so It just kind of pissed me off.

I'm still pissed of that they cancelled Titans (though the final Terra episode was wonderfully bittersweet), and banned Batman villians from JLU.

The ComicsContinuum has discovered that Yuri Lowenthal has been cast to voice the role of Clark Kent/Superboy for the series.

Superboy is the central character in the series, and his development as a hero is a key theme. He will wear the traditional Superman costume.

Here's the official website for Yuri (damn...this dude speaks more languages than the pope! http://www.yurilowenthal.com/)

Below is an image of the reported design concepts for the characters....uh....Superboy looks rather...stupid...

Is that the same guy who was in that movie about a St. Bernard dog... umm.. Beethoven?


As for the new designs. Eh, I don't really like it, but I'll check out the show sometime, I guess. I guess I was hoping for an look that was more similiar to JLU. Can I have somebody confirm something that was mentioned earlier in the topic... Is this show part of the JLU universe, or is it a separate continuity like Teen Titans?

It's seprate continuity. Otherwise it would be Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes.

At for those wanting Supergirl and the Legion... Read the comic of the same name starting with issue 16 (it's a one year later comic...or in this case 1001 years later :lol: )

Superboy seems to be based a great deal on Brandon Rough's version, understandable

Uhh... this may be a stupid question, but isn't Brainiac one of JLU's enemies? Or are we still talking "separate continuity"?

Pre-Crisis Brainiac 5 was a descendent of Brainiac 1's adopted son, Brainiac 2.

Post-Crisis he's a direct descendent of Brainiac 1 himself.

Here's his bio:
