Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes The Legion to Appear in Another Justice League Adventures? Possible Spoilers!

From Toon Zone :

That's fine with me! Bring it on!

I love that the Legion was sorta/kinda featured in the JLA Adventures series recently, and I look forward to anything else they may do.

Does this mean the Legion will be in/has been in the JL cartoon?

They haven't been yet. Just the one appearance on animated Superman a few years ago, an episode called New Kids on the Block. But maybe if they keep showing up in the comic book they at least make a guest appearance on the cartoon.

Heard that the Legion gets a special treatment in the TV show called OC...I got this information from the DC MB and the guy said that the Legion book (part 2 of 5 - the Saturn Girl cover) appeared in that show too.

Did he say which episode? Fox is the only network we can pick up right now with our antenna and we've watched the first couple of episodes. Missed last night's though. Haven't noticed any comics but then again I'm looking at a snowy screen as it is.

That'd be cool. I really like the animated styles they came up with the for the Superman guest shot.

Close, but it's New Kids in Town. I made the same mistake until I watched the episode on tape again recently. Had to white-out the nassin' label and everything!

Excerpted from one of the "WB: Superman Adventures" websites complete with episode listings:

"The Legion Of SuperHeroes" is a 30th Century group of young heroes from different planets. In "New Kids in Town," three of them time travel to Smallville, arriving in the days before Clark Kent became Superman.

COSMIC BOY is the stalwart Rokk Krinn, the sixteen year old leader of the group. He has magnetic powers which enable him to fire bolts of magnetism that can affect any metal object.

SATURN GIRL is Imra Ardeen. Also sixteen, Saturn Girl has highly developed mental powers. Not only can she read minds, she can also erase memories and put in new images.

CHAMELEON BOY is wisecracking Reep Daggle, who can turn his body into anyone or anything.


I would break into a New Kids on the Block song right now, but thankfully I have blocked them all out of my mind!! Ahh, for once my swiss cheese brain has worked in my favor!!!

okay lemme go to DC MB and find the thread and try to copy and paste to here. okay? be back in a few minutes. Hold your pants!

OKay, I m back! here's the quote I "stole" from the DC MB - by Jericho of Eyes...something like that :

FYI. Last night, I watched an advance copy of next week's (9/1)
episode (titled "The Outsider", IIRC) of "The OC" (Tuesdays on FOX at
9 p.m.) and the Legion received a major plug. A short breakfast
conversation between Seth and Ryan (the teen male leads) went
something like this:

Ryan: "What are you reading?"
Seth: "The new Legion came out on Wednesday. Part 2 of 5."
Ryan: "I liked Part 1."
Seth: "I'll let you read it when I'm done."

Seth then closes the comic and shows the cover to Ryan. It's Legion
#20 -- the "Dream Crime" cover with Saturn Girl.

Besides being a great series, "The OC" is very comic friendly. Seth
is a huge comic fan. Comics are used as "set dressing" and both Seth
and Ryan have been shown reading them -- one episode showed Ryan
reading the JSA.

Crap. Crap. Crap. Here I've been bashing the show after watching most of the first episode, not to mention living through the upheaval it's caused in So Cal (from the people who live in Chino, who feel slighted by the visual impression left of their fair city by the show).

Now they've gotta go put in comics references, and actual Legion ones to boot!!! I may have to watch this series after all.

I may have to change my "Location" tagline again if it maintains the presence of DC books (particularly Legion). The jury's still out then, proving I can be bought!

good thing I don't live in OC, but heard that Santa Barbara (or is that Ventura?) has the most beautiful view of the ocean. I would love to visit there sometimes next year before Comics Convention in San Diego.

I always thought it was pretty cool that the old "Roseanne" show usually had some good comic-related set dressing.

Back on topic - if there are any kids out there reading the JL tie in series, I think it'd be great to get the Legion in there. Unfortunately, Cartoon Network and by extension AOL/TW seem reluctant to market the show to kids unlike the Teen Titans series.

that's a cool plug for "THE LEGION" !!!

we don't have "The OC" in the Uk at the moment !!! but i keep hearing them mention it on "E" !!!

what's it about ....

Matthew.

That's quite a plug for a FOX show - I know "Everwood" has shown a few Green Lantern issues, but I'd expect it from the WB.

Getting back to the Superman Adventures comic, does anyone know which Legionnaires appeared in the previous guest spot?

Drake, do you mean their most recent appearance in Justice League Adventures? I can get you a scan of that one posted in a few minutes if you'd like.

I'd like to see it, LL, since I didn't pick up the issue.

Thanks!

Eric

Page 3? Wow this dropped! I'll try and get a scan up tonight of the appearance. And I just found out from Comics Contiuum that the next appearance of the Legion that started this thread is tentatively scheduled for # 28. That should be the February 2004 issue.

HOORAY!!!!!!! I am so glad that I subscribed all JLA Adventures books.....but I wonder if the Legion will pop up as well in Teen Titans Go! ? Hmmm....I wonder.
