The Legion of Super Heroes, a three-time Emmy Awards® nominee features the teen Heroes Superman, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Timber Wolf, Brainiac 5, Bouncing Boy and Phantom Girl as they fight crime and protect mankind from a swarm of devious villains. In Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 3, Superman’s time in the 31st century draws to a close, prompting the Legion to hold its annual tryouts for a fresh crop of heroes to replace him. The audition stars off with The Substitutes, a wacky band of rejects, and a mischievous wizard from planet Xerok who wreaks havoc in New Metropolis leaving only Phantom Girl to save the day. The adventure continues as a new member, Ferro Lad, is inducted into the Legion to help Lightning Lad defend his home from an onslaught of cosmic storms. The action-packed episodes conclude with the Legion’s biggest threat yet: The Sun-Eater, a galaxy destroying weapon of mass destruction. Watch to see which Legionnaire makes the ultimate sacrifice in a grueling battle to defend the Universe and save mankind.

In the world of DC animated characters I semi-feel there are two sides, the Bruce Timm side (Batman: The Animated Series, etc.) and then the rest (Teen Titans, The Batman, etc.) and while I will say I am definitely more of a Bruce Timm DC leaner it doesn't mean I don't enjoy the others. One of these "others" I speak of is the Kids WB show LEGION OF SUPER HEROES which is based around a young Clark Kent/Superman who travels into the future to fight crime with future heroes. Basically it is like an odd Justice League pre-cursor that happens in the future. The show is definitely more geared towards children then JUSTICE LEAGUE but it still has its charm and definitely keeps your attention |

Features: Legion of Super Heroes: Volume 3 is available now on DVD with approx. 110 minutes of five 22-minute episodes including:
•“The Substitutes”
•“Child’s Play”
•“Chain of Command”
•“Sundown Part 1”
•“Sundown Part 2” |
|
Bottom Line: LEGION OF SUPER HEROES VOLUME 3 is a definite must own for any comic book fans as well as animation fans in general, though for those who feel to "mature" to let the child in themself have fun those may want to steer clear. |
