Jason Hall recently got in touch with Toon Zone to provide an update on some of his upcoming comic projects. One project in particular will have Batman Adventures readers very excited.

I've just turned in the script for my second Justice League Adventures issue and editor Steve Wacker and I are both really excited about it," said Hall, "Especially since it features a team-up with The Legion of Super-Heroes!"

While the Justice League Adventures story is currently unscheduled, Hall promises the story will be fun. "No spoilers, but I promise this issue is going to make a lot of readers happy," says Hall. "And at the same time be completely accessible to new readers who may not be familiar with The Legion. It's going to be a lot of fun! If you liked my past work in the "animated universe", you're going to love this!"

Hall has more work on the way, including next month's conclusion to the critically acclaimed Beware The Creeper. Hall may also be returning to another "animated" comic sometime in the future.

"I've also written a fill-in issue for Batman Adventures, which is a follow-up to my Mr. Freeze story from Batman: Gotham Adventures #51," says Hall. "Since it's a fill-in issue, I have no idea if or when it will be scheduled, but when it does finally hit the stands, readers will finally get to see... well, that would be telling!"

"Just keep your fingers crossed that we'll get to see it sometime soon..."

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?

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.

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, 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.
