Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Legion in JLU Cartoon/Legion Series...Official Thread

Oooh, so tiny and so fast with no pause! Curse them!

Definitely sounds like a bunch of interstitials. Better go set the Tivo now!

Saw this posted in the SDCC thread but thought I post it here as well:

Friday July 21st
4:00-5:00 Bruce Timm Retrospective/Legion of Super Heroes— Warner Bros. Animation president Sander Schwartz introduces a retrospective on the creativity of animation legend Bruce Timm (Batman Beyond, Superman: The Animated Series). Bruce will talk about his 20-year career, screen selected scenes from his body of work, and take part in a Q&A. Immediately following the Timm retrospective, Warner Bros. Animation presents a sneak peek at Legion of Super Heroes, a new Superman-themed half-hour adventure series inspired by the DC Comics series and set to air Saturdays this fall at 11:00 AM ET/PT in the Kids’ WB! programming block on the new CW. Producers Linda M. Steiner (Teen Titans) and James Tucker (Justice League Unlimited), story editor Rob Hoegee (Teen Titans), and others from the show’s creative team will join several of the Legion cast members, including Yuri Lowenthal (voice of Superman), Andy Milder (Lightning Lad), Shawn Harrison (Timber Wolf), and Michael Cornaccia (Bouncing Boy) for a Q&A session and debut of scenes from the upcoming show. Room 20

Comics Continuum has some caps and some more info.

Here's some of those images -



^ Is that Triplicate Girl behind Chuck?

How's this -

Looks like Gary even beat me to the Flash. And if you notice the Behind the Shield special does run the length of the Saturday morning programing. I've already scheduled to record all five hours.

Not sure about the hair, but that's Triplicate Girl's orange and purple costume hiding behind Bouncing Boy. Glad someone could grab the flash, I was looking at the page's source code scratching my head trying to figure it out.

By the way, I've been told that Kari Wahlgren ( IMDB , official site ) is the voice of Saturn Girl. That completes the 7-member core team (which now includes Superman instead of Superboy, in case you didn't notice).

Even the Legion is shaking their heads over the animation (except Garth, he seems excited).

I don't think that's Lu, it looks more like Nura to me.

I agree. I think we are seeing a lot of skin and Nura's white costume.

Noooooot Baaaaad!!!! Now looking forward to seeing the cartoon soon!!! I wish they could start now! but I will be patient until the Fall season starts. Can't wait!

PS yeah it's Triplicate Girl, not Dream girl....unless Dream girl borrows her costume.

notice Brainy's eyes...purple?

So next Saturday means July 15th, correct?

Yes, the 15th. The sneek will air sometime between 7 AM and Noon.

And I hacked the Flash file. It was an embedded FLV (Flash movie) and I found the file, converted it over to Quicktime and then exported the whole thing out as a series of images. But Comics Continuum must have used what was actually broadcast today because my pictures are half their size and all attempts to enlarge them result in pretty crappy images. Wish I had tape this morning's block.

I think that's Triplicate Girl. Her cosume is sleeveless so you can see the skin on her shoulders and purple and orange vertical bars on her body. Maybe her hair is tricoloured too.

I think it looks pretty cool but I'm not too picky. Incidentally, shouldn't they have done this Superman movie promotion around when Superman the movie came out?!? Phantom Girl looks less 'goth'. I think having a primarily white costumes kinda reduces your goth-cred. I think that's Triplicate Girl, and each third will have a different hair style. I can't wait for my lumpy Chuck Taine inaction figure!

I can't believe nobody's commented on that Fatal Five scene--they look badass.

Tharok looks a little younger than the one in the comics, but I like the Persuader--I wonder if that's an exceptionally ugly mask or if in this version he's gonna be a gruesome alien. In that shot it actually looks more like the latter.

I love that the Legion is getting such a high profile just as the Superman movie is hitting! Maybe they'll even make it into one of the sequels!!

The Empress in green bell bottoms?
Maybe in the Thirtieth C. white "is the new black" so PG is Goth all the way!?!

Cool.

I think that's Nura too. (Lucky lucky Chuckie)

I didn't like the art style at all when we first saw it several months ago but (I almost hate to say this) it's growing on me.

Sweet!

Oooh, I hope it's Dream Girl!

The hair looks Dream Girl, but the rest looks Triplicate Girl.

Looks like a rocket-y clubhouse behind Superman in that one shot.

I can't believe I may sit through all those other silly shows to get a look at this.

Or you could just wait for one of us (Gary, Michael or myself) to post the video of just the Legion bits.

Thank you for showing these!!!

I don't care if it's Superman or Superboy. Really doesn't matter to me.

At first I thought having Brainy be all robotty/androidy/whatever was disturbing, but really, I'm sure it'll be cool.

I think that's Lu in the shot. I think she'll have tri-colored hair, which I have often thought she should have.

The Fatal Five look creepy! Cool.

I'm very excited!

There's no dash between the Super and Heroes!

*gasp!*

Don't look for me to post the video. I'll be recording it on my TiVo, then I'd have to record it to video tape, then digitize the tape via a VCR connected to my computer, then figure out a way to upload it here.

More new names showed up today on the Legion's Wikipedia page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Super_Heroes_%28animated_series%29 - sorry, it won't let me post a link that has a parentheses in it) from "Faroutspacenut", a known pseudonym of Rob Hoegee: two directors (Tim Maltby and Lauren Montgomery) and four writers (John Esposito, Rob Hummel, Marty Isenberg, and Scott Sonneborn). That last writer, by the way, has one very interesting IMDB credit.

Oh, and I know who's going to be doing the music for the show, but I don't know if I'm allowed to say yet. (I strongly doubt we'll be hearing "somebody saaaaaaaaave me" or the John Williams theme, though.)

Oops, forgot to mention, Tuesday night (July 11, tonight) on the BOOM network they'll be rerunning the Legion's first appearance in the Superman series, with the episode "New Kids in Town".

According to CC on Sunday -
