So here we are, with a new DC animated series. And it's a good one so far. While the Titans basically told continuity to f*** off and get drunk, The Legion tries to at least remember DCU-animated continuity. But due to some legal issues, it's not called "Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes", no, it's just called "Legion of Super Heroes" and there is no Superboy in it at all. However, there's Clark Kent and he goes by the name of Superman, only that he's not quite a man yet.
Now, the story's quite good. It features the whole intro-bit "Hi, my name is XY and this is ABC" and it gives everyone a nice moment to display their powers. Then there's the bad guys, the Fatal Five in this case. They're evil, they're bastards and they get their moments too. I feel that there could be so much more than the "sladeletshavepizzalolhityouonheadrofl" we had with the Titans.
Also, I'm so glad that they found back to the more traditional style of animation and not the big-eyes-small-mouth-sweat-drop-lol-look of the Titans. However, they did adapt some things, like camera angles if you want to call them that.
Now, I'm not saying that Teen Titans was a bad show, but I just see how this show could be so much superior than the anime-imitation that was the TT. And yes, it does have a goth chick in it, if you're wondering, she's just not as emo as Raven, which is good. If they pull this off well, this show just might be something really worth remembering. I hope they make it. Oh, and the theme song isn't half as annoying as Puffy Yumi Ami's screeching.
And for the DC-fans: When Clark enters the Superman-museum, take a look at the guy who's cleaning the floor. You might recognize him.
