I really liked the descriptions of the characters!
In the first major reboot, Saturn Girl was always hugging or putting her arm around someone. I always thought that this made sense because something about having mental powers might make touching obsolete, yet she still yearned for that human contact...I dunno if that makes sense. I suppose that's where all this "hussy" talk about her could come in...
LOVE the way they want to depict Brainy. First of all, I too was a big fan of the way Coipel re-imagined him, giving him more character, visually, than we'd seen in all the previous 40ish years. Kinda lanky and messed up hair and sticking out ears. I liked it. I think this cartoon version is going to take some getting used to, but I'm already on my way.
I have NO trouble seeing Tinya as the spoiled girl working within a new class set. She's often come across that way in the books.
I like that this Super"man" is going to be young and inexperienced. That keeps him fitting in instead of being this god-like-inspiration-to-all type. Maybe in the scene we were shown, he was under some kind of mind control, and LL had to help him figure out what to do?
Sounds like LL and Chuck will have the personalities we all hope for.
This James Tucker sounds like he knows his stuff and is a fan. I feel good about it all and can't wait!
Have I mentioned that I'll be an AR collector, so please LWers, don't let me miss anything! I give a BIG thank you to those who have posted and pointed out info and graphics related to the new series.

I love the mix of personalities they chose and while some of my favorites (Element Lad, Star Boy) haven't even been mentioned for possible cameos yet, I can understand why other prominent Legionnaires like Cosmic Boy (because of his Superboyish looks and boy-scout personality) and Ultra Boy and Mon-El (because of their powers) didn't make it into the main cast.
And yes, Chuck RULES 4ever! I hope his action figure bounces.

More show stuff from the con: 1. Mattel will be making figures based on the new show (the articles I've read didn't say anything about the JLU Legion). 2. The group that did the music for the JLU and Titans shows are doing the music for the Legion show. 3. The Warner Bros. booth has a free trading card with the picture similar to the one we saw at the Licensing Show (with the orange background).
Still waiting to hear back from friends who went to the Timm/Legion panel.

just got back from it. sorry if there' repetition of past items; I'm not about to reread everything before posting.
13 episodes, including a two-part finale based upon a classic LSH story; probably a Silver age story. Miner's betting on the death of Lightning Lad.
They're starting with a heavy Silver focus, but have picked and chosen from various eras. Various creators claim to be staunch longtime LSH fans. Someone (Battista?) said, having worked on LSH for a year and helped reintro Superboy, he really praised the new cartoon.
It's young, inexperienced Superman, not Superboy, even tho the sole promo card still lists Superboy. They skirted talk about the Siegel lawsuit, so that's the most likely reason.
First season will feature several Fatal 5 stories; they avoided specifics on others.
They showed two videos; one, Kal is being knocked about by the Emerald Empress. Garth, intead of blasting EE himself, instead spends his efforts trying to coach Supes how to use his super-breath.
The theme they say they're going for is that Supes brings the spirit/innate paragonism to the LSH, LSH brings the experience and know-how to young Kal.
Brainy seems to be a machine - with a stretchble neck, and presumably other limbs.
Garth has a lighning-shaped scar/tatoo/whatever around his eye; it turns white when he's using his powers.

Tenzil, huh? Muy interesante. We already knew that Mekt was going to be in there somewhere, is that Ayla too? Wil Wheaton had mentioned three episodes for Cosmic Boy, but he didn't say they were an arc. Hurry up and get home so you can give us a full update!

Ok. With only one naysayer (sorry APB), I think most people want a new forum for this cartoon series.
But, what do we name it to set it apart from this forum? (And after the push from the Comic-Con, I think it shouldn't encompass all animation. Just this show and it's related merchandise and comic.)

If it's just LSH name it LSH Animated. I agree that it should be a 4th forum under the 'LEGION CLUBHOUSE' heading.

Well, the number is set to "11" unless I do a resuffle (which after the last time I tried it, I vowed never to do again). And so, if it goes in this category (which I agree it should), it'll appear below Visionnaires on the main board page.
Also, I'm open for any suggestions for the introduction, like the "From 1958 to NOW, Legion Fandom has discussed, complained, created, and inspired the wonders of DC Comics' 30th & 31st Centuries. Here's your chance to join in on the fun!"
