Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes The Man From the Edge of Tomorrow, Part 2 ... Spoilers and Images

A new episode, a new thread. Here is the synopsis and preview images I received from the WB for the conclusion to the two part season premier.

"Legion of Super Heroes" concludes its two-part season premiere, entitled "The Man From The Edge Of Tomorrow," on September 29 at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT as part of the Kids' WB! Lineup on The CW Network. In the episode, the Legion has returned from the 41st century with Kell-El, a genetically-enhanced Superman clone. But Imperiex, the destroyer of galaxies, has reached the 31st century first -- and unleashed all of the Legion's greatest enemies. To restore order and combat this near-invincible foe, the Legion will once again turn to the past for help in the form of an older, more mature Superman with far greater grasp of his powers.

Sounds really exciting! Nice to see Bouncing Boy and PG.

PG looks cuter thatn she did last season.

Are all those images from the second part? Cuz Lu looks like she's got three parts of herself ...

That's what the press guy said.

And here are final four before the episode airs on Saturday.

Picture #3 above is now my wallpaper! Looking forward to a few hours from now, to watch the show!

This was a phenomenal episode -- possibly the best episode yet, though it has a lot of competition. The Chuck/Lu scenes were very sweet. And I applauded my ass off when Superman-X showed up to save the day.

I just wish we'd seen more of Blok or the other Legionnaires imprisoned on Takron-Galtos. And where was Ultra Boy?

SPOILER ALERT!

I particularly liked what happened to Matter Eater Lad after he ate the Emerald Eye. A reference to his eating the Miracle Machine back in the day.

Oh, and who caught the reference to Chameleon Boy's "rich father?"

ANOTHER SPOILERS ALERT....


loved the 2nd episode....and saw a new look on Shrinking violet's costume - like that design. cool one. Yeah I wonder where is Ultra Boy?

Poor Saturn Girl - got KOed by Esper Lass. Cham - *snickers* he gets ignored and not appreciated so went on fighting Ronn-Karr (somehow I kept thinking that it should be Beast Boy who should be there instead of Ronn Karr...hmmm).

Trip now Duo will get a karate lesson soon from a certain best combat fighter in DC Universe.

Swell episode!

Some big Legion guns down for the count, HQ in ruins, Computo sabotaged and the Legion cruiser blown to smithereens -- now, that's what I call upping the ante! I bet the new ship will serve as a mobile HQ as well as a transport.

I'm glad they didn't resolve the Duo Damsel situation and wrap everything up in a neat, little package. The Supermen didn't hog all the screen time, either, leaving room for some good character moments for Duo, Bouncie, Lightning Lad and Phantom Girl, as well as Esper and the Empress. Cham is still an irritant but at least he gave Ron-Karr a run for his money.

I hope taking Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy and Colossal Boy out of the game for a while means we'll get to spend more time with some of the lesser seen Legionnaires. Tenzil shouldn't have to leave so soon, though. A little insanity never hurt anybody.

Okay, seriously, why isn't anyone talking about this episode? This was probably the best episode so far. Everything from the fight scenes, explosions, and character interactions was...dare I say it...SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME! These would have to be some of the best moments...

Matter-Eater Lad eating Emerald Empress's eye

The legionnares at the hospital. I like how this show makes it clear that just because these people have superpowers doesn't mean they are invincible(Or at least that's how I see it)

The Legion: Superman!
Kell-El: What!?!

Superman's reunion with the Legion. Awww.
BB/Duo Damsel moments. Double awwwww.

Brainy:This is going to hurt. *SHIP EXPLODES*

And of course... THE BATMAN REFERENCE!

There are a just a few concerns...

They should cut it out with the "NOOO"'s, it gets kind of annoying after the first few times.

Not really caring about Chameleon Boy for the moment, but hopefully that will change over the course of the season.

I also hope Saturn Girl wakes up within the next couple of episodes, because if they plan on keeping her in a coma through the whole season, that would really suck. And there's also the issue with the destroyed HQ, a nearly burned down Metropolis, all that stuff.

Next week: A TIMBERWOLF EPISODE!

I did like this episode much better than the first part.

Although, I was thinking while watching "Why isn't someone, say Duo Damsel, trying to free the others in the cells?"

Was that really Ron-Karr? I thought it was Chameleon Chief.

I love how this season is one continual storyline.

Wow, the characterization is great! LL brooding over felled SG. I look forward to her awakening and having them express their undying love.

Alright, big ol' softy moment... my eyes watered when Duo Damsel stood in front of the mirror, attempting to simulate having a third. Thank you Chuck for offering to be their "third."

Can't wait til Dreamy is more than just a pretty face (and hair) in the background.

Hmmm.... the ad for next week's "Cry Wolf" episode reminds me of the Kolins cover for this month's S&LSH comic.

Looking forward to more!

Me, too. From what I recall, Ron Karr can only flatten himself, not change into all different shapes.

That's true of the comic book Ron-Karr but the toon version was depicted as a shape-shifter last season in the "Light Speed Vanguard" episode (I forget the actual title).

I liked this one better than the previous episode, but I still don't like the changes well enough. I think it would have been perfect sans the rebooting of everyone's costume and if it has been a few years why is Chameleon Boy the only new member. Wouldn't it have been easy to sneak Ultra Boy among them as well?

Anyway, I did find it interesting that the Light Speed Vanguard is now known as the Legion of Super-Villains, and that this is the cartoon debut of the Dominators.

Here's the clip to next week's Cry Wolf Promo . This week's clips will be up soon.

Batman moment?

Superboyman compared Superboyman2 to a certain 20th century friend who also needed to unclench a little, and learn to work with a team.

Available now.

Oh, I didn't even think of Batman. I thought he was talking about Timber Wolf. I didn't think this Superman was supposed to have aged any more than the Legionnaires.

I saw Element Lad in the background looking different than he will in the comic. Potential oops there.

It was an awesome episode, though. It was great to see so many Legionnaires in action, even if a lot of it was in the background.

I only had one actual story gripe. Brainy needed to borrow someone's time bubble tech to go get Superman. Phantom Girl just happened to have one hiding in a secret pocket in her cape. If she just happened to have a time travel device in her pocket, why didn't any of the others? Is it because none of the Legionnaires who went to the 41st century had capes with secret pockets?

Other than that, I thought the episode rocked, even though I thought Saturn Girl should have whupped Esper good.

Well, Esper Bimbo did cheat. I thought it was an awesome episode to. My only gripe is that even though the prison raid team had Sunboy, Block and Tyroc they still got beat down. It seems that the writers have it so the Legion can't hold there own without Superman there. Where was Ultra Boy?!?! But other thtn that Great Epsiode!

One more gripe. Sorry to double post, but judging by next weeks promo , It seems that Timber Wolf will be a match for Superman X. Probably Classic Supes to. That should not be.

Ultra Boy never joined the Legion, he just came to help out.

I loved this episode!

Aside form the excellent story-telling (I loved the group-excitement at the idea of bringing back "classic" supes, as well as the Duo Damsel scenes, which many had lamented form ep. 1 was not made into a big enough deal, I think that was well-recitifed this ep. and nice to see they have left open that she can still get "white" back), I was quite-heartened to see them already featuring the other "peripheral" Legionnaires...in fact, I think they showed EVERY heretofore known LEgionaire in the episode! (Ultra Boy does not count, he never joined officially, and as I pointed out in the ep 1 thread, just putting him in and implying he joined in the interim would
waste a potentially great "joining up" story..)

Whoever drew the backgrounds should be commended, though they did seem after a spell to confuse Tyroc and Star Boy ...initially, in a brief instant, they are shown flying in together..later, only Tyroc can be seen in the cells, but when they all emerge to fight, Star Boy is show from behind (identifiable via cape) in roughly the same position that Tyroc had occupied, but no Tyroc. Yes, I had to freeze-frame to catch all that!

Of course, I could be missing someone...did anyone catch a Legionnaire shown previously but not here? (again, restricting that to MEMBERs...who aren't dead (sniff)...)
