Product Description:
In the thirty-first century, a group of young superheroes travels back in time to recruit Superman to help them fight evil, but accidentally returns w
Amazon.com:
Ever since the late-1950s, DC's Legion of Super-Heroes has always had a dedicated, almost cult-ish following, but surely a Saturday-morning animated series was more than anyone could have hoped for. Even better, the series was well-written and quite good, and a good representation of the comic book. The LSH is a group of super-powered teenagers one thousand years in the future who time-travel to the past to recruit Superman to join their team. Due to a slight miscalculation, they go to Smallville and find the teenage Clark Kent, but he's still plenty powerful enough to join. (For legal reasons, the series was unable to use the name Superboy, so they still refer to him as Superman.) One of the quirky things about the Legion was its huge roster of characters, but the series concentrates on a handful, including Lightning Lad (with the power of electricity), Saturn Girl (telepathy), Brainiac 5 (a 12th-level intelligence and ego to match), Phantom Girl (intangibility), and Bouncing Boy (um, with the powers of a rubber ball, perhaps for diversity reasons?), though others appear or are name-dropped.
In the four episodes included in vol. 1, the Legion battles the Fatal Five, they meet a menacing character named Timber Wolf, Superman is attracted to a selfish teen celebrity (this is where referring to the character as Superboy would have been less icky), and Clark inadvertently releases a super-powered villain from the Phantom Zone. It's unfortunate that only four episodes were released rather than a full season, especially considering a couple of them were rerun frequently on the Kids WB when the series was new. There's also a nine-minute featurette in which the creators discuss the series, including how the Levitz-Giffen era was considered a "template." --David Horiuchi

There is a free website called tvshowsondvd that allows you to vote for TV shows you would like released on DVD. You have to register in order to vote, but maybe if enough people vote for a complete series they might release one.

This was a great show, especially for a longtime Legion fan like me.
And as soon as a full-season collection is available, I'll gladly buy it.
Until them? These single-disc scams aren't getting a penny from me. I'd rather do without the episodes entirely than cater to WB's overpriced, dribs-and-drabs single-disc approach.
You'll get my money as soon as you deliver something I want, Warner! Single discs aren't it.

I am really into animated shows about superheroes. Normally, I would agree with those who are saying that a series should be released on DVD in full seasons or, at least, in larger volumes. In this case, however, I can see the value of releasing only a few episodes at a time. I had never seen this show when it was originally aired. I might be interested in buying the entire series but I have to see what the show is about, first, before spending all that money. These DVDs are a great way to "sample" ... Read More

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE CANCELLED THIS SHOW AFTER ONLY TWO SEASONS
AND WHAT'S THE HOLD UP ON THE SECOND SEASON DVD RELEASE?
Rating: -
Okay, I finally took the plunge and bought this DVD. I have been holding out, like almost everyone else on these, because it angers me that Time Warner hasn't released them as season sets, and is putting them out in this four episode format to make a few extra bucks. Well, then I started thinking, "what if they just go off the lousy sales for these four episode disks and decide that this series wasn't well liked enough to produce as season sets"! That would not be good! So, I bit the bullet and bought all ... Read More
