Watch the Watchmen
Pretty weak episode of Justice League this week. Introduces the Legion of Superheroes, whose upcoming cartoon series will more of less be replacing Justice League. Actually, more like it explores the Legion, since a different group of cartoonists will be making the new series.
Episode was pretty boring, and only gave meaningful time to two Legion members, Brainiac-5 and Bouncing Boy. Yes, Bouncing Boy. They didn't make anything worthwhile out of him. By the way, his magic flying ring makes his superpower pretty redundant.
The Supergirl/Brainiac romance was about as poorly motivated as the Anakin/Amidala romance in the Star Wars Episode 2. It was really that awful, though at least not as poorly written. "The sand is rough and gets everywhere. Not like you." Blech.
I'd like to register some disbelief at the idea that Cartoon Network is replacing JLU with Legion of Superheroes (LOSH). I understand that the Legion members are teenagers, but for goodness sake they're such a bunch of losers! They're replacing Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder-Woman with Bouncing Boy, Brainiac-5, Saturn Girl, and Matter Eater Lad? You've got to be kidding me.
