Also, if you had, you would have seen the news of the new Legion trade scheduled for October. The third one for the new series. Where's the love for the previous run?

WHOA! I love it! Not the DCAU style, but not the Teen Titans Go style, either... I can't wait! I'm away for a while, and I can't believe how much I missed here...
I'm sure this has been said a hundred times already, but I hope seeing the cartoon convinces Waid/Kitson to bring in Bouncing Boy.

I talked to him at last San Diego Con and I remember him saying he did a lot of the tech design on JLU (the space station, javelin, etc.) and that he was working on another secret project he couldn't talk about - I wonder if that was Legion?

Once again, shame on you for not visiting the Clubhouse. Not only did I post about Johnson's work there is also news of a companion comic for the animated series in the works.

I met and talked to someone who works in connection to the show yesterday, and have some good news and bad news:
Firstly, the art style of the show is supposedly closer to the Bruce Timm DCAU style than the promo art we've seen so far. That's neither good nor bad for me, because I like both...but I'm sure some people will be happy.
The bad news is that due to losing the lawsuit with the Seigel and Schuster heirs, DC can't use the name 'Superboy' in the show.
At all.
So all the episodes completed up to this point have had to be re-dubbed, calling the character 'Superman.' Apparantly, there is even some discussion as to whether the character now is even Superman as a boy...or if he will be an adult Superman who has been de-aged somehow. Yeesh, I hope that doesn't happen.
The good news is that we should be seeing the series around September. Also, there is a full toy line in the works from Mattel...can't wait for that.

Exactly how reliable is this source STK? There has been no official outcome of the Siegel/DC lawsuit. The Siegel's won a summary judgment in March but Warner filed an appeal immediately. The matter is far from settled.
And just a quick point. It is only the heirs of the Jerry Siegel who are involved. He was the sole owner of the copyright for Superboy which he turned around and sold to DC. It is the change in copyright laws that have kept this an issue.

Re: Superboy's name and character. This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How hard would it be for the WB to reach into their very large pockets and make the whole issue go away? Cheapskates!

Yeah, I might have misunderstood, and what he was talking about was the summary judgement...not sure about that. My impression was that they needed to move forward in order to get the show out on time, so who knows... maybe the name change is more of a 'better safe than sorry' thing, rather than them actually losing yet. (And yeah, you're right about it only being the Siegel heirs)
My source seemed reliable to me...he said that when it came up they were going to have to re-dub all references to 'Superboy', he had suggested they change it to 'Kal-El', which I think would have made a great middle ground...but I guess they felt it would not have the same level of public recognition.
