    a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    This show is definitely an amazing DC show with an awesome theme which took some getting use too back in season 1, the great art style of animation and amazing character with really good voice actors.This show is like, a combination of Justice League and Teen Titans in one show the Justice League part where they have a watch tower and the Teen Titans part where the team members are teenagers.I really wish this show had a season 3 we could have seen what happened to Brainiac after when exploded and said: "Evil does not die it evolves!" and heck we could have had even more good voice actors on this show like Kevin Micheal Richardson, Phil Lamarr and Dee Bradley Baker.I would say give this show a go.

    I don't know what times this show airs (I've watched episodes online), but man, it feels like the older Saturday-Morning Cartoons. Right from the flashy, Incredibles-ish theme music, to the often times corny Superhero dialogue.And I love every second of it!After Teen Titans went off, I'd hoped to find another really good superhero show. This is it! If you are expecting Teen Titans, though, this is not it. A different animation style, different feel, basically everything is different. But different is not a bad thing. Whereas Teen Titans had both its very dark story lines (at times) and its uber-comedic moments, Legion sticks to a straight-forward classic superhero feel. Save the world (or rather, the galaxy).Throw into this whole scenario of nostalgia, a bunch of easter eggs/homages for fans of all things DC (especially Superman). Very rich girl named A-LEX-is, who has a special interest in Superman, and later gets her whole head of hair burnt off (not permanently, mind). Hmm...wonder who that could be. On an episode where a being called Drax gets out of the Phantom Zone, he pulls out some unexplained weakness of Clark's (a green rock of some kind) and answers to some supreme being that appears to want out of the Phantom Zone. Could it be...nah....I had my doubts at the first episode, I will admit, although I stuck through. First episodes usually leave me in doubt. I don't think I've met a cartoon yet that I've loved since Episode I. But most cartoons that I've actually wanted to check out, I've been happy after the first episode. Legion is no exception. LONG LIVE THE LEGION! (Oh, by the way, the first season finale was AWESOME, and season 2 looks like it could be just as much a winner.)

    Although fans will still be able to get their fix for animation from the DC universe, this show has truly fallen short of expectations.There's too many inconsistencies with original story lines... even from the recent episode from Justice League on this team just less than a year ago. One MAJOR one is that Braniac 5 is supposed to be the futuristic organic descendant of Brainiac, and instead he's cybernetic like his predecessor! Aside for the new style, the loss of Legion of Superheros consistencies and the ridiculous amount of reruns so soon in the season, at least we have something we have something from the DC universe we can watch.Additionally, the story lines are silly and child-like focusing on reincarnations of old DC characters, like "Alexa" a female teenage version of Lex Luthor in the future.Bah, bring back Unlimited!

    I'm surprised this is on Kids WB instead of Cartoon Network, but I was lucky enough to catch the premiere on a second airing. I love that networks do that.Anyway -- clearly they're capitalizing just a little bit on the Superman Returns movie, although the movie didn't do all that well, and there isn't all that much to capitalize on. ((ETA: I understand that Clark is portrayed as young Superman instead of Superboy because DC is currently in limbo/litigation? about whether they can legally use the name Superboy to describe Superman in his youth.)) There's continuity here. This episode is very much like the Superman: Animated Series episode wherein the Legion shows up in Smallville to ask for Clark's help. Clark is about to leave Smallville for Metropolis -- it looks as if he's just finished high school and about to head for college. So he's more Superboy on the cusp of becoming Superman.The story wasn't bad. It established a handful of the Legionnaires: Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, Triplicate Girl, Bouncing Boy, and Brainiac 5. It mentioned a few more: Shrinking Violet, Colossal Boy, and Cosmic Boy (the latter having appeared in the Superman episode mentioned above). It also established the Fatal Five as the villains of the piece. Getting all this done in thirty minutes, and showing that Clark is still coming to grips with having super powers and learning to use them is no mean feat but I think it was pulled off pretty smoothly.The voice acting is also pretty good.The design work is impressive. Saturn Girl's telepathic powers are drawn as a variation on Aquaman's -- glowing concentric circles.Triplicate Girl is designed as a girl who splits into three costumes, hairstyles, and makeup palettes.Lightning Lad has a scar that lights up when he uses his powers.The only stylistic that didn't seem to jibe right was Brainiac 5, but I expect that to grow on me.Definitely worth a look. Don't let the overly busy opening sequence throw you.
