Newarama's got an article on Season two, an interview with Tucker & Vietti over here One paragraph in particular notes, as far as heroes and villains go this season, we can expect to see <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">fans can look for a bunch of “new” old faces to show up this season including Starboy, Sun Boy, Blok, Karate Kid, Dream Girl and Dawnstar. As for villains, Tucker said to watch for the first appearances of Mordru and The Dark Circle, two of the Legion’s heavier villains. And look for a brief appearance of “one of the members of the Legion of Super-Pets.” My money is on Proty.</span></span> I know Scott will be particularly pleased by that last one, but it is only speculation from the article's writer at this point...

Well, season two certainly looks to be interesting. I just don't get Tucker, though. I'm glad he professes to be a fan, but then he says some weird stuff.
First, in San Diego, he says Legion fans are used to all these periodic reboots, so doing it in the cartoon was a natural -- like all the annoying reboots we all gripe about are a good thing.
And then he says this about the Superman clone (not real spoilery, but just in case): <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">“Actually, he’s more like Mon-El,” said Producer James Tucker. “I wanted a Mon-El character, but one without the complicated origin. So we got Kell-El. Kell-El is like Conan (if Conan had super powers), he was raised to fight, unlike our character,” said Tucker.
So you want a Mon-El character but introduce someone who's nothing like Mon-El. And as someone on the Newsarama thread said, "The original story came out in 1961! Nothing that DC published in 1961 was complicated...everything they did back then was written in a way that any 4 year-old could understand it."</span></span>
And now real spoilery commentary:
<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">So, Mordru, Dark Circle AND the supposedly mind-blowing villain Imperiex all in one 13-episode season. They really are taking it to darker places. It sounds very interesting.
Of course, Tucker should be saying it's the first named appearance of Mordru -- unless the scary looking guy in the fez on Sorcerer's World in the first season was a red herring. I think they could have a lot of fun with a new take on his first appearance, with the Legionnaires having to go back to the past and attend college (I guess) with Superbo--MAN.</span></span>

The article does little more than say the Legion is returning, but Animation Insider does have a new image -- a different shot from the same episode as previously released on the Kids WB site (and captured by Scott earlier in this thread).

I know the clone Superman is a far cry from Mon-el, but hearing him described as such actually does make him more interesting to me. While wildly different in origin, I can see a few parallels, if only that they're outsiders due to being from a different era (here the future instead of the past), they have powers very similar to Superman, and while he wasn't raised as a warrior, Mon-el has had a couple of very notable "bezerker moments". They've also got the "Superman's brother" dynamic, but for different reasons.

After watching all those promos I have to say, I feel like I'm being forcefed this "all-new Man of Steel"... will it be worth the hype?

Seems we have the youngest generation of Legion fans to blame for the Clone of Steel and other Season 2 changes. The reason behind the revamps of both The Batman and LSH toons are summarized here (scroll down to "The Batman"): http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11759 "After that season, though, the network focus-grouped 'The Batman' (and 'Legion of Super Heroes') and found out that what our very young male audience wanted was more fights, jokes and costumes and fewer female characters." To many boys age 8-11, badass=cool.

Received a press update and eight new screen shots today. And unlike those "other" websites who get the same news, I don't shrink the hell out of my pictures. You guys deserve the full Monty. "Legion of Super Heroes" premieres September 22 at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT as part of the Kids' WB! Lineup on The CW Network with a two-part episode entitled "The Man From the Edge of Tomorrow" (the finale airs Sept. 29). In the episode, we learn that in the 41st century, the universe will be terrorized by a warrior named Imperiex. The only person standing in the way of his plans for domination is a clone of the original Superman. But unable to defeat Imperiex and his vast army alone, the clone travels to the 31st century to recruit history's greatest super hero team, the Legion, to help fight this threat.
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES: 2007-2008
You add more S of everything. You go big S and then go bigger. You take "super" and double it.
Start with a second Superman, add an incomprehensibly undefeatable nemesis, then toss in endearing new cast members in over-the-top adventures and you have the recipe for the highly-anticipated second season of Legion of Super Heroes.
The new campaign of LOSH finds the group fulfilling their collective destiny, each member elevating his skills to new levels S just in time to face even greater challenges. In an ironic turn of déjà vu, Future Superman (a clone who goes by the name "Kell-El") arrives to recruit the Legion to travel to the 41st century to help defeat Imperiex, a destroyer of galaxies from the rich annals of DC Comics. But Imperiex turns the tables on the gang, traveling back to the 31st century to crush the Legion's headquarters and free all of the LOSH¹s deadliest enemies, thus creating an army of super villains.
While occasionally criss-crossing centuries, the focal point of LOSH Season 2 is on the two Supermans and their attempts to end the reign of terror brought on by Imperiex. As opposed to his formative days during the first season, Superman has returned from the 21st century far better developed with greater physical prowess and utilization of his powers. Kell-El is actually a clone of Superman, however Kell-El has been created using Superman's DNA along with alien DNA thus forming a new Superman with exciting new powers and a different form of weakness.
Along the way, the LOSH provides the perfect complement of heroics and comedy to the efforts of the Supermans. The Legion members' journey include the discovery of old and lost relatives with imperiled results. The LOSH even expands (and sometimes contracts) during the new season, most notably with the addition of an intriguing new Legion member, Chameleon Boy.
Renowned voice actor Yuri Lowenthal draws double duty in LOSH Season 2 as the voice of both Classic and Future Superman. His villainous foil, Imperiex, is blessed with the vocal stylings of sci-fi veteran Phil Morris, most recently seen as Martian Manhunter on "Smallville." An admitted comic book fanatic, Morris' credits range from a notable turn on "Seinfeld" and frequent guest roles across primetime television ("CSI: Miami," "NCIS," "Will & Grace," "JAG") to constant voice work in feature film and television animation. Alex Polinsky ("Charles in Charge") continues to expand his career into animation voiceovers as the newest member of LOSH, Chameleon Boy.
Two Supermans. One incredible villain. All new adventures for a popular band of heroes. The "best" is getting better.

I don't get why some sites think they have to shrink the hell out of their images. Especially when the press guy for the WB is nice enough to send them big enough for a wide screen monitor.
Can't be space. My provider just upped my storage to 1.5 TB (that's 1,500 gigs) and my bandwidth to 1.2 TB. Without increasing my costs.

(especially on TV) Welcome! What do you mean by "authorized members only?" Are you referring to the Encyclopedia Galactica ? It's a forum for answers and information and not for questions. You can ask questions anywhere else (hopefully in the appropriate forum/thread). As for power-levels of the Legionnaires (especially the new season of the cartoon), there's not any official information regarding them. There are Roll-Playing handbooks that were published several years ago. They'll eventually make it into the EG forum.
