Kids WB! Brings you a new series inspired by the DC Comics legend Superman. In LEGION OF SUPER HEROES a team of superheroes from the 31st century heads back in time to enlist Superman's help in battling their nemeses the Fatal Five. But when they arrive in the Man of Steel's hometown Smallville they discover that they've miscalculated a bit. Instead of a powerful confident Superman they find the introverted insecure young adult Clark Kent whose abilities need fine-tuning and who knows nothing of the legend that comic book history says he'll become.It takes some effort but Brainiac 5 Bouncing Boy and Saturn Girl convince Clark that he's special and may be able to help them. Although he sincerely doubts that he's the "Superman" they keep talking about his curiosity is piqued enough that he goes back to the future with them. The legion itself is a group of well-meaning undisciplined and unpredictable super powered young adults who just happen to be the Universe's only hope. The Legionnaires are still light-years away from becoming the seasoned (and cynical) pros of the Justice League.Running Time: 89 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 085391150046 Manufacturer No: 115004

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

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

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

Legion of Super Heroes is a great show. Basically in the 31st century there is a team of super heroes which join to fight crime all over the galaxy, and dew to time travel Superman is there to join them. So it is kind of like Justice League mixed with Star Treck.
But even though this is a great show don't buy this! You see what the DVD people are doing is reasing volumes of 4 episodes. Then they will release seasons. These will be a few dollars more expensive, but will have 13 episodes instead of 4. ... Read More
