    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 had gotten out of the habit of waking up before noon on Saturdays as I grew older and shows became less and less impressive. Then came Legion of Super Heroes. This show is a real treat. The animation is highly stylized, though not distracting, and the themes are surprisingly deep for a children's cartoon (but, believe me, this is a very good thing!). That doesn't mean it's violent, though. While the characters get knocked around fairly often (This is a super hero show, after all.), there's no more violence than one could expect from any other Y7-rated program. The characters are very realistic. Not only do they speak like real people, but they're constantly growing, changing, and capable of error. "Legion of Super Heroes" also gives some nods to the comic books and Superman mythos (For example, in a bout of insanity, Brainy exclaims, "Red ants! Red ants! Superman shouldn't play with red ants."), so it's enjoyable for kids and comic book fans alike. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after season two.

    I could never understand it, what went wrong? What did Batman: TAS and Justice League/unlimited both have in common? A respective display of teamwork, good dialogue and visual display of characters that made the show look it was aiming to reach more than just children. Both of the two shows excelled in art and a respectable script. The legion of super heroes is a blatant attempt to cash in on the teen Titans. And I only liked that show because at the start of the season its episodes were telling but it went downhill, all too willing to settle for melodramatic one shot story episodes in later seasons. It was still good though, Slade helped add the serious tone and each character actually had character development.The legion of superheroes falls flat for two key reasons: The first is that the legion was poorly depicted in JLU anyway and that many like me expected supergirl to appear in the legion series as to continue from the JLU.The second, that with other then the name of bouncing boy being really lame, it's not really about the legion but a shameless hero worship and let's all relay on superman/teen or whatever. There is no real foe or a villain worthy enough to be superman's rival, given superman: TAS and JLU gave us darkseid, one can only imagine who could fill the next big villain boots. Answer? No one.The animation is awful, whatever happened to shows that made decent attempts in detailed drawings? Surely the legion has more talented heroes then the names already given, a lot of the characters are very generic, no defining element? Thin bodied and all big heads? That's the art style as a whole with powers and such that you would have already seen it all before and kids would have as well. Again it doesn't help when it's all about superman, if DC wants to expand with their media then they have to do more, not just focus on lesser characters but give those the characters the decent animation drawings, plot and script they need.

    First off let me start by saying this is most definitely not a Justice League it doesn't even come close to being in the same Galaxy. I'm not a fan of the childalization of super heroes and this is a show confirms my feelings that it's just a stinky thing to do. The show seems to depend heavily on the popularity of superman and should be called something like "super tweeny man and his amazing lackluster friends from the future" The rest of the legion of super kids are very much unremarkable much as the entire concept of the show. Just say no kids and perhaps they will scrap this pile of don't, don't bother and give us some real super hero action
