Getting your Superhero Fix in the Future
The Journal Gazette has a feature on the future on anmimated superheroes, following the demise of Justice League Unlimited. It mentions new TV shows like The Legion of Superheroes and Fantastic Four, and movies like Teen Titans Tokyo and Iron Man.
Also found this comment interesting:
Cartoon Network officials say Justice League has been canceled due to low ratings.
Yeah, and CN constantly changing the time slot , putting the show on a long hiatus and lack of promotion had nothing to do with it. Thank goodness for DVDs!
First look at Legion
The Superman Homepage has link to the promo art for the new Legion of Superheroes. Unfortunantely, this show does not appear to be a spin-off of Justice League Unlimited, as many thought after seeing the episode “Far From Home.”
The art appears to be similar to the style of Teen Titans. More pseudo-anime.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the show, with the current Superboy lawsuit.
Justice League – Season One
Get Yours Can’t figure out when JLU is coming back on?
Don’t try. Cartoon Network will probably change the schedule again. But with TiVo, I never have to worry about that. With a Tivo Season Pass, I can record Justice League Unlimited whenever it comes on. Unlike a VCR, you don’t have to tell it to record on Cartoon Network, Saturday at 10:30 pm. It will figure out the correct time and automatically change it when CN changes the schedule again.
It will also recommend similar shows based on your tastes. If you like JLU, it’ll recommend shows like Teen Titans or X-Men.
The best part is, you’ll never have to rush home to watch a show, or hurry up and watch a taped show because your 6-hr tape is full. With an 80-hr capacity, you can record without worries!
The JLU is Back (for now)
From The Continuum:
Cartoon Network’s schedule for April 3-30 includes two new episodes of Justice League Unlimited and the network premiere of the Ultimate Avengers.
The “Far From Home” episode of Justice League Unlimited, featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes, will air on Saturday, April 15 at 10:30 p.m. “Ancient History,” with a teleplay by Geoff Johns and featuring Hawkman, will air on Saturday, April 29 at 10:30 p.m.

Petition to Save JLU? Don’t Bother…
It’s no surprise that many of the fans of Justice League Unlimited are upset that the show will not return next season. JLU was a rare find in American animation. It is one of the few shows that most adults will openly admit to watching due to its excellent writing and animation. As you would expect, a show of the caliber of JLU is not easy to produce. Therefore, some of the people behind the show are actually relieved that the show is ending:
“that said, i’ve got no beef with cn whatsoever….honestly, i’m almost relieved JLU is over (for the moment anyway), it was frankly an EXHAUSTING show to do, hard to write, extremely labor-intensive to produce, this season and the last especially…. with such an action-oriented show, after awhile it becomes really REALLY hard to keep trying to top yourself, to keep pushing the envelope for hyper-intense action sequences, upping the epic scale, etc….”
A Tribute to the Justice League
I’m sure you’ve all heard that this is the last season for the Justice League. Here’s a great video tribute. May contain spoilers for unaired episodes.
