On television, "Krypto the Superdog," starring Superman's boyhood pet, an animated series aimed at young viewers, began earlier this year. "The Legion of Super-Heroes," about a team from the 30th century, is being developed as a cartoon. The home video market includes DVD releases of the live-action series "Wonder Woman" and "Lois & Clark" and the animated "Challenge of the Superfriends" and "Static Shock." In toys and related merchandise, DC Direct produces everything from posters, collector's plates and prints to replica costumes, power batteries and lines of action figures from specific artists
P.S. By way, sorry I haven't been around to play COH, but things have been hectic. I got a writing gig and I have my own cloumn with WindowsSecrets.com and I have an IT blog (Chris Mosby at myITforum.com) that I have been doing as well, along with my regular day job and it has been keeping me pretty busy. Once I get used to having this as part of my schedule, I am going to try to be around here more often.
Long Live the Legion!!

Thanks for posting this in the Legion section, Patch.
Mystery Lad broke the news here in this thread, Dc New Logo.
Personally, I'm a little scared by the news. Warner Bros. haven't been very good at translating their comic properties into other mediums for awhile now.

I just pray to whatever gods that have been watching over the Legion these 45+ years that they don't do it like Teen Titans.

Let's not be negative about this before we've even seen some of the designs, guys. Guardedly optimistic is acceptable but what I really want is an excuse to get behind this in a big way. It's something we've all dreamed about for years. This is big news gang, let's get excited!
I have to wonder if Steve and Mark and Barry get to have any input. One brief mention in one article and I'm dying to see some design sheets and even if there's a chance to find out some names that might be available for the voices. We need a mole at DC so bad.
Steve Wacker!!! Confirm or deny? Sneak us a peek at a costume or something? Come on man, you know if we like it we'll spread it all over the internet!

I'm excited by the possibility that it might be realized like JLU, with contributions by "real" comic book creators such as Gail Simone and Darwyn Cooke. But even if it's a little-kid oriented anime, it's still good news. Think of the exposure the characters will get if it's successful -- the TT cartoon has an estimated audience of 2 million viewers. Think of the merchandising possibilites, e.g., action figures, games, a newstand comic, etc.. Whatever it turns out to be, it's very good news for the future of the LSH franchise, even if we are not the target audience.
My hat goes off to DC Comics for making this come true. LLL.

I missed that post, thanks for pointing it out.
I am not sure about the logo thing, and we will just have to see about the cartoon. I could have sworn that they pitched a cartoon once already and it was failed?

Just as long as you realize that those two millions viewers have nothing to do with the tie-in comic. The Teen Titans Go book hovers right around 14,000 per month. A spot where other books would be dropped but an exception is made for the Johnny DC titles.
I would love nothing more than for this to be a success. Let's just say my faith in DC productions isn't the strongest. I haven't regularly watched one of their toons since Batman: The Animated Series, which I faithly watched and saved to tape. The only Superman one I bothered with was New Kids in Town, for obvious reasons.
