Legion of Super Heroes, DCAU stylee

I wonder what the infamously "even-more-strange-than-the average-fanboy/girl" Legion community thinks of the show. I'd guess that its too tween friendly for them, since the appeal for them was principally the "90210 in the future" incarnation. I've heard there's tons of Legion slash floating around.

Still, it's good stuff, although in a generic Saturday-morning way.

ver0nica, you can check out episodes on thee U-Tube.

I like it, but I'm a sucker for the Legion. It's not perfect, and I'm a little iffy about their robo-Brainiac 5 and the way Bouncing Boy is a lynchpin of the group but Cosmic Boy is AWOL (sorta like doing an X-Men cartoon without Cyclops, but spending a LOT of time with Maggott), but it's nice. I really like the one with Alexis Luthor, who is like a cross between Lex and Lindsay Lohan.

I hate Bouncing Boy. Cosmic Boy had a cameo in the Intergalactic Olympics episode.

Surely they can, and they're just not in order to be total cunts?

Legal status

Superboy is currently the subject of a legal battle between Time Warner, the owner of DC Comics and the estate of Jerry Siegel. The Siegels argue that the creator of "Superboy" was an independent contractor at the time of the original Superboy pitch, and DC wasn't interested. After returning from World War II, Siegel found that DC published a Superboy story using ideas from his original pitch.

Federal judge Ronald S. W. Lew issued a summary judgment ruling that the Siegel heirs had the right to revoke their copyright assignment to Superboy and had successfully reclaimed the rights as of November 17, 2004. Warner Bros. replied that it "respectfully disagrees" with the ruling and will appeal.

[edit] Consequences of the ruling

* The ruling throws into question the ownership of Smallville episodes that have run since that date.[citation needed] At stake is a potentially sizable portion of profits from the Smallville TV program.[citation needed] Though Lew himself feels that Smallville infringes on the Superboy copyright, he has ruled that a jury will make the official decision.[citation needed]
* DC Comics may have been forced to kill off Superboy in Infinite Crisis. At the San Diego Comicon, however, Dan Didio and 52 editor Steve Wacker remarked the death of the modern Superboy (Kon-El) was not implemented because of the verdict, but for dramatic purposes, seeing as the character could simply have been renamed.
* The Legion of Super Heroes cartoon was originally going to feature Superboy, but the ruling forced Warner Brothers to change it to "a young Superman".
