Legion of Super Heroes - The chance to be what the Titans never were

[Anarky]

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:

Spoiler:

When Clark enters the Superman-museum, take a look at the guy who's cleaning the floor. You might recognize him.

Is this on now or soon to be released?

I really cannot stand DC characters, so terribly bad.

Yeah, how come I haven't heard of this show?

It's on now... Saturdays at 10am on Cartoon Network.

And I have no idea why you haven't heard of a series that's been hyped for months.

Because it's been called Teen Titans for five years?

Saw the first episode, and the reasons I hated the first season and episodes of Titans comes back to haunt this one, no doubt it could improve though, as the recent Fantastic Four series is finally demonstrating (The Hulk crossover is the best effort to date)

If nothing else, the animation style of this show creeps me out. I haven't actually watched it yet because of that. Is this supposed to be like "what if the good guys looked like Bizaro" or what?

Yeah... I tried to watch this one, but couldn't. I mean, say what you will about Teen Titans imitating animes... it was interresting. I LOVE Batman, but Superman, and the rest don't hold any appeal to me. That's also why I could never get into Justice League...

This also airs on Kid's WB at 10 (unless you made a mistake). I don't think it's spectacular, but as long as it's not Krypto the "Who gives a dog crap about Superman's Dog" show or that Coconut-bob Coconut pants thing that was mercifully canned.

Superman: TAS's first season sucked a donkey's testiclular fortitude that's why, it did'nt get good until Darksied showed up in "Apokolips Now"
