Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legion in JLU Cartoon/Legion Series...Official Thread

I actually updated it from work today but I had a PC crash before I could credit the image. I found it at Ray\'s Galleries . He has a younger Superman focused image of the standup (apparantly the background was made to not stand out as much) and the promotional poster . It looks like he may actually have gotten ahold of an actual poster from the quality.

Still nothing from my contact at the WB.

Huh.

Thoughts:

Superboy looks fantastic. (Any doubts on who the star of this show is?)

Lightning Lad looks very nice as well. I think they really capture his personality, artistically.

Oddly, I'm kind of loving Chuck! Both powered and non-powered (but especially powered up.)

I'm not wild about Tinya, but I'm accepting that she looks the way she does because her mom's the president of the UP.

I need to see Imra animated before I can make a call. This could go either way.

Timber Wolf is just bad.

I don't want to even think about Brainy's neck.

A very mixed bag, but I'm sure I'll love it after that first Fatal 5 fight.

Like we've said before: if the stories are good, the show will be good; if not, not.

You know, this picture posted here a few months ago suddenly makes a lot more sense...

Looking at that thread, I just read Andy Milder is voicing LL? I went to high school with him...how bizarre...

I ditto KP on this one. The neck thing is scary.

I just noticed the L is backwards on Timber Wolf's belt on the poster. Is he from Bizarro Legion but turned good?

I think it is just the original way he was drawn. I cut him out and flipped him so the 'L' was right and he winds up with his knee in Phantom Girl's face and right hand (the one going down) looks like it is shoving Garth aside, slapping him up against his head.

And if you look close enough, Brainy's 'L' is also reversed. This was probably done because Brainy would have been covering Supe's mid section, including part of his 'S' symbol.

They thought enough about the layout but not enough to cut out the belt buckles and just mirror them.

They may have decded to make Brainy a cyborg to give him more visual powers. Or maybe he's even a full android like the original Brainiac.

Actually that picture is pretty much the stand up promo from the show.

Superboy, Superman; the important thing to remember is that the involvement of lawyers always makes comic book stories better.

If you look at the posittioning of Supes, Garth and Brin, you'll see that the pic we saw months ago (linked in Michael post) and the stand up promo piece (that was so washed out by sunshine) are almost identical. Also, Tinya and Imra, though in a different spot in each of them are also nearly the same. I think that original pic was actually the rough draft for the promo piece.

Do you mean this pic Vee? The one Michael linked to was the Brainy robot, not the group shot. That's what confused me about your post.

So are you guys saying the plan is to call Superboy "Young Superman" 'cause of the lawsuit?

Ooops! Sorry, yes I meant the group shot that Drake colored. (I most be going crazy! I could swear I followed that link to the group shot )

Don't know for sure it is a result of the lawsuit but the press release has been changed to say "young Superman" rather than Superboy. And we had a rumor, not yet confirmed, that said they went back and redubbed all mentions of Superboy to Superman instead.

Hm...

That's going to be weird. He definitely looks too young for "Superman" to fit him.

A public preview coming in two weeks! This just in from Comicscontinuuum

Kids' WB! will stage "Behind the Shield," looking at Superman, on Saturday, July 15. The event will also include a first look at the Legion of Super Heroes animated series, which will is now calling the character "Superman" instead of "Superboy."

Titans Tower has an interview with Rob Hoegee, the co-producer of the Legion series. Doesn't really give much away but the guy seems to like working with the Legion.

Anyone been able to find anything on that "Behind the Shield" show - what time, what channel? It doesn't show up on my TiVo guide, even doing a keyword search.

Hasn't shown up in my TiVo guide or their online one either. I'm guessing it'll be a series of shorts that run during the Saturday morning cartoon block. I'm just planning on taping the whole morning.

Where'll you'll find the Legion boys and girls on Friday of Comic-Con:

4:00-5:00 Bruce Timm Retrospective/Legion of Super Heroes— Warner Bros. Animation president Sander Schwartz introduces a retrospective on the creativity of animation legend Bruce Timm (Batman Beyond, Superman: The Animated Series). Bruce will talk about his 20-year career, screen selected scenes from his body of work, and take part in a Q&A. Immediately following the Timm retrospective, Warner Bros. Animation presents a sneak peek at Legion of Super Heroes, a new Superman-themed half-hour adventure series inspired by the DC Comics series and set to air Saturdays this fall at 11:00 AM ET/PT in the Kids’ WB! programming block on the new CW. Producers Linda M. Steiner (Teen Titans) and James Tucker (Justice League Unlimited), story editor Rob Hoegee (Teen Titans), and others from the show’s creative team will join several of the Legion cast members, including Yuri Lowenthal (voice of Superman), Andy Milder (Lightning Lad), Shawn Harrison (Timber Wolf), and Michael Cornaccia (Bouncing Boy) for a Q&A session and debut of scenes from the upcoming show.

Thanks for that MEL. I forgot to update my site when I heard of it. Guess I have other things on my mind right now.

Note that we finally know Shawn (Timber Wolf)'s last name - the IMDB says he had a recurring role on "Family Matters". Michael Cornaccia's name (Bouncing Boy) surfaced this afternoon on the IMDB, and the other new name is Heather Hogan as Phantom Girl. The only regular left is Saturn Girl, and Triplicate Girl (a recurring character) is also unknown as of yet.

According to the Kids's WB website, "Behind the Shield" is a special event starting at 7 am. The video on the main page includes a few glimpses of the cartoon, including the Fatal Five. Can anyone capture it?
