Which brings us back to why didn't they go with Supergirl and cash in on the JLA audience? They had a perfect jumping off point, even if they didn't want to keep the same continuity.
By the way, thanks for the update! It has been kind of quiet on the cartoon front lately.

You know, this really confuses me. They had Supergirl stay with the Legion in JLU. They have Supergirl with the Legion in Supergirl & the LSH. Then they go and decide to make Superboy the lead in an LSH cartoon. I don't have a head for business, but even I know that's not a sound idea.
Don't get me wrong though, I'll still be there watching it.

I imagine they want to plug into the much larger potential Superman audience after the movie comes out.

* Mekt Ranzz, Lightning Lad's brother, will appear in an episode.
* Director Ben Jones told The Continuum that the series will have "a mix of old Legion villains and new characters."
* Look for a preview of the series at Comic-Con International in San Diego next month.
* In the series, Cosmic Boy was a founder and the first leader of the Legion who now spends more time as an Earth-bound diplomat. He is not one of the seven core members featured in the cast.
Those going to SDCC better be providing updates on any Legion info they come across.

I also suspect that Mekt will be posting soon since he's finally found his way to the small screen.

A change in the logo and a somewhat better look at the full-figured ( ) Bouncing Boy from the 2006 Licensing Show (courtesy of Heidi MacDonald at The Beat):
Sigh. I thought I had scooped everyone by publicizing Heidi's picture from The BEAT, but turns out Comics Continuum had even more. Damn that Rob Alstetter!
[edit note: Michael, I changed the image link to the image I'm hosting at the Clubhouse since we kinda frown on hotlinking here. Plus my version is a little cleaner. ]

Since you beat me to the image (my cable is running sub-dial up speeds tonight and it took me 45 minutes to get it added to the Clubhouse) I'll just chime in and say WFT? about Brainy's neck. Did they go ahead and make him a robot?
And from looking at Heidi's images I think the art has become a bit better, if those are the finals. Much cleaner than what we've seen previously and not as horrifying. I just wish she could have gotten some better shots.

Thanks to an anonymous tip, we have a few more shots of the backdrop from the Licensing Show. It appears that either everyone got there at the same time or the backdrop was positioned to capture the sun at all times. The Legion is still washed out in the sunlight.

Maybe their belts allow them to fly... though it's also possible that not all animated Legionnaires will be able to fly.
From looking at the closeup of Lightning Lad they may have flight rings. No 'L' visible on it though. I can't imagine that they'd miss out on that marketing opportunity.
