No matter what the era, there is always a need for heroes. In the far future of the DC Universe, the Legion of Super-Heroes defend the universe against all sorts of vile villainy. First appearing in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958), the Legion has gone through various changes over the years. They also have traditionally been tied heavily to the mythos of two other DC Super-Heroes: Superman and Supergirl.
The Legion has always been a rather popular super team, members of the group appearing in various other media, most notably having their own animated series in 2006. And now, they're getting their own direct-to-video animated movie alongside Supergirl. Let's look at the trailer!
Wait, were there no places where Supergirl could train in the present day, Superman? Maybe she could work with the Titans or something. Sounds to me like you're just pawning her off, Supes.
Hey, Mon-El! I wonder if this version has the Silver/Bronze Age origin. Considering Superman's seemingly familiarity with the Legion here, it's certainly possible.
I like Dawnstar's design. Also, her having energy wings is a really cool idea.
Bouncing Boy may seem like a joke, and his power may seem stupid. But think about this. Ever been hit in the face by those big rubber balls they use in dodgeball games? Now imagine that, but the ball is a whole human being.
Yeah.
Arm-Fall-Off Boy?! Much as I appreciate the deep cut, I have to admit, I'm surprised they used him. Although, he would be handy for rocket punch jokes.
Batman's just mad nobody remembers him in the Legion's future.
You'd think Superman would have told Kara about Brainiac 5.
Eh, it would not be surprising if it turned out the Legion took a cue from the Archie gang and just hung out at the malt shop.
The Dark Circle, eh? An interesting choice for bad guys. I wonder if they're the ones responsible for the Legionnaires vanishing...
Legion vs. Dark Circle! Round 1!
Well, this looks like a fun little movie. I've been meaning to watch some of these DTV animated movies. Mainly Justice League vs. The Fatal Five and Batman: Soul of the Dragon. I do like the Legion, so I can imagine this will be fun. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off! Take care of yourselves, and each other! Stay safe, stay safe, stay home, wash your hands often, wear a mask, and get your vaccine/booster! See you next time!
