‘Legion of Superheroes’ The Complete Series is out now on Blu-Ray
I first watched Legion of Superheroes many years ago. It was certainly unlike any other DC animated show I had seen on TV at the time. We saw a new band of heroes take on some powerful villains. As the series moved along, the threats to the galaxy increased. Now this series is coming out on Blu-Ray. I was able to get a review copy of this series and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Legion of Superheroes here:
One thousand years from now, the legendary Man of Steel inspires a group of emerging young heroes from the 31st century to band together and defend the newly formed United Planets. That is, if they don’t kill each other first. In Season One, Legionnaires Bouncing Boy, Brainiac 5, Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad travel back in time to convince an awkward teen named Clark Kent to join their Legion of Superheroes and battle their archnemeses, the Fatal Five. The insecure teen is, in turn, inspired by his new friends and, with their help, begins his journey to become the galaxy’s greatest hero. Catching up two years later, Season Two presents Superman and the Legion with an even greater challenge: Kell-El, the Superman of the 41st century!
This was overall a good show. We get to see a young group of heroes take on some deadly foes in season one. On some episodes we learned more about the back stories of these heroes. We also saw a well known hero start to learn some important skills. On season two, the galaxy faces a dangerous threat. To combat it, this team will need more members and help from an unlikely source. As this series comes to a close, this team will never be the same.
