"Word reaches me that Paul Levitz has been talking about the possibilities of a "Legion" cartoon. The usual reasons against such a project, too many characters, was knocked by the "X-Men Evolution" cartoon, and buried six foot deep by the new "Justice League Unlimited" animation."

Nice. I say they use a core of 5 and then just guest star 2 to 3 others a show.

Ooh! Sounds good. I can actually see this working, following somewhat of a style JLU has worked on: focus on the founders and a few more popular characters before spreading out to more members.
This'll be exciting to see how it develops! If Levitz is behind the project for the long haul, it'll be like a big wave of support from DC and he'll hopefully help guide the writers on how to juggle the characters.

All right! Hey, it could work, and with Teen Titans being a bit preteeny, JLU having adult characters and X Men Evolution cancelled I think, this could fill the demand for teen heroes!

But the females and villains would be short-packed by Mattel and you'd need a loan to buy them off of eBay.

I'm just afraid that they'll do it too much like Titans. If Shadow Lass' eyes turn into hearts when Mon-El is near, I think I'll hurl...

Paul's going to be quite busy, getting a Legion cartton of the ground AND moving DC's offices to the west coast.

I really do believe if things on Cartoon Network continue the way they have been, this cartoon is inevitable. I'm excited to hear Levitz may be in on it.
HURRAY!!!

The "DC moving to Cali" rumor got a red light with good reason though: MY mole @ DC says they're moving the DC offices to the just opened AOL/Time Warner Center right here in NYC, just a few blocks north of their current quarters.

I felt the same after the debut of JL Unlimited! Great news!!

I wonder, classic LSH or reimagined LSH? Possibly the latter if PL's pushing the idea again now.

They should move right here to Maine. They could OWN an entire old mill building for less then they curently pay in RENT. Plus they'd only be a couple of hours away from their printers in Quebec.
And, of course, then I could be the mole!!
:::hmmm... wonder who Rhino's mole is?:::
