<\/div>\n

Right about the time that I saw the Legion of Super-Heroes episode of JLU <\/em>(a few weeks back), I read that there was a Legion of Super-Heroes series in the works. Yay!<\/p>\n

Interestingly, though, based on this picture<\/a> (reduced right), there’s no link between the JLU LoSH and the series LoSH. Instead, the line-up has changed some and we have much more Teen Titans<\/em>-like art.<\/p>\n

Which isn’t necessarily bad or good, just sort of curious. Though I’ll miss Supergirl, vs. Superboy.<\/p>\n

One can argue over which version of costumes (or team line-up) is more canonically true to the comic until one’s blue in the face — but the comic has gone through so many reboots post-Crisis<\/em> that you could make them all monkeys dressed up in clown suits and you could probably find a reboot that worked with that.<\/p>\n

According to the associated article<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Series producer James Tucker, who was a producer on Justice League Unlimited, explained the look of the show for The Continuum.<\/p>\n

“Artistically, the style of the show falls somewhere between Superman: The animated series and Clone Wars,” Tucker told The Continuum. “It’s definitely not anime-based at all.”<\/p>\n

Asked about villains on the series, Tucker said, “It’s safe to say that the Fatal Five will be showing up several times, as well as a few other well known Legion foes.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking forward to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
