Legion and The Batman

[roxy]

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

"To Be Continued" are the most hated words in TV.

I love the "adult" look of Season 2 Legion. There were bits of old canon that showed up linking it to the comics. Superman X is an adult, not just a boy barely out of his teens. He comes from a bleaker time. No Norman Rockwell childhood. The edgier look is good. I love the longer hair. And the green eyes are from the krytonite that's laced into his DNA.

I missed Alfred on Batman, but the inclusion of Lucius Fox was good. Robin is too much like the 60's TV series Robin. As much as Robin is supposed to be a brightness that keeps Batman from descending completely into Darkness, Robin does need more of an edge to be more than comic relief.

omgod! What happened to Alfred? I missed the beginning of the Batman--did they take Alfred away?

Yes, yes! It's very annoying. Robin should have a sense of humor, but it needs to be drier than this version's. Robin isn't the average little boy, not by a long shot.

you know, I tend to think of TV Robins as Tim, since fanfic has trained me to think of Dick as totally screwed up.

I really liked that sweet young Superman, but now I'm very willing to give this edgy guy a shot. :)

Alfred just wasn't in the episode. They didn't go to the Batcave either, just to the tech center under the Wayne Enterprise building.

Thank goodness they didn't hurt my Alfred--I like this version best of all.
