Legion and The Batman

Okay, I confess I actually really liked the new version of Superman on the Legion of Superheroes. It's a very interesting take on the character--he feels like my kind of Superman. :). Poor little Brainiac...so in love and so heart-broken. *sigh*

The Batman continues to veer off from the original premise of the show, as far as I'm concerned. I would have liked to see this progression of a young Batman figuring out the ropes a little slower but I think I'm in the minority. And realistically, I guess he has been around long enough now to be in charge of his little Bat family. By the way--I hate that fucking little Robin. Maybe I'm spoiled by the Teen Titan Robin but this little wiseacre is just not--funny. I like Batgirl much better than I like Robin. I did like Luthor ("Luuu-tor") on the show--isn't it funny how each new version of Lex gets slimmer and slimmer?

The *good* Robin

Between the Legion and Doomsday, it really is Superman clone week, isn't it? *g* I didn't mind the future Superman, even though I went into it not being sure, and I can't wait till he meets the original.

I'm an old school Legion fan, so I'm all about the Lightning Lad. ;)

Ah, I think I remember Lightning Lad was the cool one back in the day. I do remember I'd trade more than one comic for a Legion story--like one Batman was worth two Sgt. Rocks, kind of thing.Most of the DC comics from back in the day are a faint memory, because I lost all those comics in a terrible punishment. *still brings tears to my eyes over forty years later....*
