Too bad that there isn't an online system for CCGs like that -- it could be like the old online chats, only more combative. :) Heck, when I was there, one week WB started promoting “talk live online with Batman!” without even notifying DC let alone getting their input.

Johanna, agreed about the CCG, I'm tempted for the first time in ages... of course, the problem is always finding someone to play against.

Go. Figure. I'm looking forward to the cartoon on its own terms--and the designs look great--though I, too, am disappointed it won't be a more seamless match to the previous animated appearances of the Legion in recent years. You'd think someone at DC/Warner would have spotted a synergy problem in having an ongoing monthly called SUPERGIRL & LSH while having a new cartoon called LSH, featuring "young Superman." (Not "boy," Your Honor, really. Young man....)

I thought that made a wonderful starting point for the new cartoon -- but I can just hear the marketing folks talking about how they need a boy leader and a recognizable brand to merchandise around.

She really deserves a show that lets her shine on her own. Johanna, I’m sorry to see the Legion cartoon won’t have Supergirl. She really deserves a show that lets her shine on her own.
