We're really not the ones who should be excited.
I'd rather see a whole generation of kiddies become Legion fans through this cartoon. Lord knows they don't have the 100 Page Spectaculars to do it anymore. Besides, a 'toon aimed at kids will be MUCH more likely to use Matter-Eater Lad and Bouncing Boy.
As for which version will be used? I'm leaning heavily toward the MUCH more culturally diverse "SW6 Legionnaires" version.

well well....before the Teen Titans cartoon were released, a lot of us were wincing and saying ewwwwwww......and look at them now...they are very popular. See Terra and Bumblebee - they ROCK!!!! Speedy and Aqualad were protrayed much better than in comics! so did Vixen, Zatanna, Black Canary in JLU. so have faith in them as they are working on making the Legion the best of them all....maybe we will have a better Princess Projectra or Dream Girl kicking a major ass?!?!? who will see how useful Bouncing Boy will be? Who wants to see Triplicate Girl foiling up nemesis? so HAVE FAITH!!!

Shouldn't we be? Otherwise, why use an existing concept. The WB can develop something new and different.
I say, if you want to use an existing concept, use it and don't do every thing you can to "re-invent" it.
There's a reason why stuff like the Catwoman movie, Birds of Prey TV series, etc. tank or don't do as well as they should. Cause the unnecessary changes suck!

"Developed" could mean just about anything at this point, really. I'm glad they're looking at LSH again, but I'm not going to get excited about things yet.

It's not beyond reason. The JLU folks opted to bring in a ton of characters. Many of them are just background, but even they are getting action figures and such.
Wouldn't be surprised if the LSH developers consider doing the same thing.

Personally, the Teen Titans cartoons have made me whince from the very first time I've seen them on up to today...but, my daughers (7 & 11) love them. My oldest daughter has "discovered" my old Teen Titans comics (Wolfman & Perez) and snatches the newst Teen Titans (Johns) issue from me each month before I have a chance to read it. My point being, if they do make the Legion in the Teen Titans format, maybe it'll turn some kids onto the "real Legion" comics. Also, I suppose now the LOSH will have another title - an animated version.
The fan-boy in me is in hopes that the animated LOSH will be more in the tradition the animated Batman series in both artwork and more mature storylines.
I also wonder if the animated version will be based more on the current Waid-Kitson version. There may be a method to their madness. I'm sure plans for the animated LOSH didn't just pop up.

I wonder how much 7 & 11 year old daugthers would have liked a Teen Titans cartoon that was less Anime and more Perez art come to life? Less ditzy Starfire and more Strong-willed Warrior Starfire. Raven with more actual mystique and less Goth chic.
I could go on, but I'll stop now and take my medication.

[MLLASH] { OmiGAWD ... can you picture it ... the eventual release of LSH Season 1 on DVD ... *salivates* }
I'd use a napkin {g} ... for example, "Daria" fans have waited for four years for a, er, legitimate DVD release. (Um, uh, some of us decided to not wait any longer, if you get my drift, and I think you do ...)
It's good news, in whatever version. I would rather have a "TTG!"-anime-ish cutesy kids' version than none at all, but if it's that kind of arch creation, I doubt I'd even bother to tape it when I watch it.
Still, whatever version it is has to get the 7- and 11-year-old daughters. Boys and girls both. If comics don't get any new "feeds," the printed books will die out in this decade.
Bruce-Timm-style, as we saw on "New Kids In Town" and see on "Justice League"/"-Unlimited"? That would grab and hold kids and adults both. And given who has the merchandising bucks -- at least, without wheedling it out of their parents -- I hope they'll be astute enough to follow the money.
Well, Warner Home Video is certainly faster on the draw than Paramount Home Video (for "Daria"), so perhaps any DVD will indeed be quickly released.
"TTG"-style work may be easier to take in one or two big gulps, come to think of it, as was true after the fact with the Legion's TMK era.
