We Are Many... "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." Taken from CBR ( http://www.comicbookresources.com/columns/?column=13) Nice. I say they use a core of 5 and then just guest star 2 to 3 others a show.  Jorge

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!

And they could spin-off a new comic from it like the JLAdventures and Teen Titans-GO!.

And we'd get action figures that don't cost $15, and include female Legionnaires and villians!

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. lil'rhino

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

lil'rhino[/b]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?:::

I'm pretty sure Rhino's mole is some dude named Will Eisner? I think he's a copy-boy or intern!

It certainly lends new meaning to the phrase "Deep Throat."

Can't reveal my mole, BUT I CAN tell you just how much Paul Levitz space-rawks: Over the last 7 or so years, I have written 3 letters to Mr. Levitz and he wrote me back each time! Not only that, but 2 of his 3 reply letters were HAND WRITTEN! Not typed, not form letters!(The 3rd was typed but he signed it.)
The best part: written on DC stationary, sent in DC envelopes!

I've always heard he was a good guy but with all the internet rumors and the current hostilities between Bob Wayne and everyone at Marvel you never know how things currently stand.

Here's hoping the rumors are true! Go Paul!!

Awesome! I'll take a Legion cartoon in ANY format. Legion of Super-Carebears? Fine! My Little Legion of Ponys? Do it! Legimon: Gotta Catch 'Em All? Well maybe not...
I love the idea of modern Legion action figures (though my shelf space isn't happy)!
Here's the toy line breakdown:
PHASE I
Brainiac 5.1 with light up facial markings and twitching Koko!
Lightning Lad with 'joy buzzer' shocking action and homicidal older brother!
Ultra Boy with 'ultra kicking'action and Rimbor temporary gang tattoos!
Andromeda with 'power punch' and tight fitting tunic!
Persuader with 'hero chopping action' action and bad B.O.!
PHASE II
Cosmic Boy with real magnetic power action and harddrive scrambling powers!
Ultra Boy (wetsuit costume) with 'ultra swimming' action and gigantic space whale-thing!
Chameleon with interchangable head and hands - also changes appearance in water!
Triplicate Girl with 'tri-jitsu' action (three pack of figures)!
Mano with light up glowing hands and familial gravestones!
And later on...
PHASE XVI
Infectious Lass with mucous secretion and real living bateria!
Chlorophyll Kid with potent seeds and 'plant watering action'!
Ultra Boy (artic costume) with 'ultra skiing' action and wearable earring!
Proty/Lightning Lad with lightning wand and 'self-sacrificing action'!
Time Trapper with 'reality altering action' and um..doom!

I was prepared to hate the TT cartoon as well, and as such did not even bother watching it until just a month or so ago. and even though it is manga-ish, I am prepared to admit I was wrong. TT ROCKS! Groovey theme some helps!
