Legion of Superheroes Undergoes MAJOR Reboot
 
LOS's second season will feature new members, radical new designs for established characters (Brainiac has lost his Beast Boy look), members seem to have vanished (though their voice actors confirmed Phantom Lass and Saturn Girl will return), and Superman will now be a 41st century clone rather than a young Clark Kent (probably due to the Superboy embargo, they decided to throw out the idea of Superboy in the future alltogether and go with this idiotic concept)

Just phase Superman out of it and let the Legion live on it's own

Brodie 07-21-2007 10:35 PM

Well, I mean....why don't you like how puke looks?

ZariusTwo 07-21-2007 11:00 PM

Rich Sands, one of the producers, has confirmed the real Superman WILL appear in the series alongside the clone. The main villain will be Imperex

Brodie 07-21-2007 11:02 PM

the lightning dude lost the scar??

Spawn Guy 07-21-2007 11:45 PM

So we're getting Kon El. I'm not sure how to feel about this since I never cared much for the Legion anyway...but that's one of the coolest superman costumes I've ever seen. The clone idea might have made more sense than dragging an inexperienced teenage kryptonian out of his time period and basically telling him he's going to be a virtual god rather than actually work his way up.

And I agree, if the Legion is worth sticking around they shouldnt be dependant on Superman or any other member of the family, but that's the only member of the franchise people are going to recongnise.

Brodie 07-21-2007 11:49 PM

Uhm...Kon El was Superboy like, leather jacket Superboy...He wasnt from the 41st century...


PS, catching up on this show tonight...It's neat... just.. I dunno, its like Teen Titans for older kids.

Teen Titans was for older audiences. No show, not even "Legion", got away with a near-rape the way Titans did.

As for LOS itself, it's alright, it starts very uneven, but gradually finds it's voice, by the time the finale comes around, I could gleefully call it a show that could further improve

Spawn Guy 07-21-2007 11:53 PM

Kon was the clone. He served in the Legion at one point. Close enough.

Brodie 07-22-2007 12:20 AM

Can someone tell me who the long necked guy in the picture is?

GK Punk 07-22-2007 01:18 AM

That story is pretty Kon-El. He was a clone of Superman as well. Plus the costume looks styled after Kon-El's.

Brodie 07-22-2007 03:19 AM

I'll care once he gets a leather jacket.

Anarky 07-22-2007 05:06 AM

It won't be Kon-El. That's the entire point of the lawuit that's going on at the moment. The heirs of Siegel felt that Kon-El was not Superboy the way he should have been, therefore they sued DC over it. That's why DC killed Superboy off. That's also why they don't call him Superboy anymore. Everyone calls him Conner these days.

GK Punk 07-22-2007 06:06 AM

I wasn't saying he IS Kon-El. I was saying it's an obvious influence for the Superman clone character.

I don't think Kon-El wore his leather jacket for quite sometime if I remember right. He'd been wearing Jeans and a T-Shirt for awhile. I prefered the leather jacket though.

Personally, I LOVE the Teen Titans, but the Legion puts me to sleep.

Chameleon. Or Chameleon Boy depending on how they want to play it.

You gotta love how DC got back to the Seigal estate with how badass and out of character Superboy Prime (the embodiment of "their" Superboy) was

Raph's Girl 07-22-2007 09:17 PM

So Brainiac has gone from looking like Beast Boy to looking like a Cyborg Martian Manhunter??? *sighs* Love the new look for Superman tho.

Spitfire 07-22-2007 09:19 PM

Boy gota love that American animation style. I remember a time when every show didn't look the same. Sees like those times are gone.

Spawn Guy 07-22-2007 09:40 PM

The more I look at that Supes outfit, the more I'm thinking it's a darker super detailed capless version of the Superman 1,00000 costume.

Drtooth 07-23-2007 10:42 AM

Brainiac doesn't look like Beast Boy... but that pinkish brownish thing does.

Kid's WB? What's wrong? You used to have such cool shows like Animaniacs and Earthworm Jim. After that bit with Pokemon, you really made bad choices. Loonatics? That Spongebob knockoff... Spider Riders? Sigh....

at least Batman's getting good.
