Ron Allstetter's Comics Continuum has details for the new seasons of both DC shows and on "Lightning Storm", the next episode of
Legion:
THE BATMAN, LEGION OF SUPER HEROES NEW SEASONS
"Confirming new seasons for both The Batman and Legion of Super Heroes on Thursday, Warner Bros. Animation also dropped major hints at what to expect in both shows.
"Warner Bros. announced Thursday that The Batman, Legion of Super Heroes, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get A Clue! and Tom and Jerry Tales will all be back on Kids' WB! for the 2007-2008 season.
"Here's how Warner Bros. describes the new season of The Batman:"
"The Batman, which is nominated for a 2006-2007 Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Special Class Animation Program category, will focus its new season on the introduction of Batman's Justice League peers. Expect amped-up action and heightened stakes as Superman, Aquaman, The Flash and several others work in concert with Batman and even more of his amazing technological wonders to defend Gotham from a seemingly never-ending roster of super villains."
"Alan Burnett and Michael Goguen serve as supervising producers and Kim Smith is producer for The Batman.
"Here's how Warner Bros. describes the new season of Legion:"
"The second season of Legion of Super Heroes finds the group fulfilling their collective destiny, each member elevating his skills to new levels just in time to face even greater challenges. A daunting new villain a destroyer of galaxies from the rich annals of DC Comics puts the Legion into action alongside new team members. Superman returns from the 21st century with greater development of both his physical prowess and far better utilization of his powers to help the Legion toward victory in the 31st century and beyond. Moreover, the Legion finds a surprising, new ally from across the space-time continuum to assist in its efforts to rid the universe of this powerful foe."
"James Tucker returns for this second season as producer of Legion, and is joined by associate producer Amy McKenna and story editor Michael Jelenic.
"Warner Bros. did not release art yet for the new seasons, with the exception of a Season 2 logo for Legion."
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES: "LIGHTNING STORM"
"'Lightning Storm,' a new episode of Legion of Super Heroes, is scheduled to air on Saturday at 10 a.m. (ET).
"Here's how the episode is described:"
"Much to the Legion's disappointment, Lightning Lad accepts an invitation to join an older, 'cooler' team. Once there, however, Lightning Lad realizes these new heroes aren't exactly what they seem. Now, caught between the Legion and his new friends, Lightning Lad must decide once and for all where his loyalties lie."
"'This is one of my favorites of the season,' producer James Tucker told The Continuum. 'Lightning Lad has had the most in-depth storyline. His brother, Mekt, who we introduced in Champions, goes over to the dark side for good. It's more of a Justice League-type episode, and I don't say that in a bad way. It's a little more serious.'
"The episode was written by Stan Berkowitz."
"'It's a kick-ass action episode, but it's got a little more depth to it,' Tucker said. 'It has a lot of weight to it.'
"Khary Payton, who did the voice of Cyborg in Teen Titans, plays both Tyr and Hunter in the episode."

Here is some more information about the second season of
Legion of Super Heroes
culled from Rob Allstetter's Comics Coninuum:
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES ROUNDUP
Comics and television veteran J.M. DeMatteis told The Continuum he has written an episode for the second season of Kids' WB!'s Legion of Super Heroes animated series.
Warner Bros. Animation announced late last week that Legion will be returning for a second season.
"I wrote a Timber Wolf story and I think there will be more to do when I get back to New York," DeMatteis told The Continuum during an appearance on Sunday with Abadazad collaborator Mike Ploog at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention.
"I was surprised. It was actually a pretty intense episode."
DeMatteis said the second season will see "a shift in focus."
In other Legion news:- The Continuum has learned that the "destroyer of galaxies from the rich annals of DC Comics" mentioned in the Warner Bros release last week will be Imperiex, who will likely appear starting with the second-season debut.
- The Superman seen in Season 2 will not be the same Superman as seen in Season 1.
- The Fatal Five will be returning next season.

I think what that comment about a different Superman means is that Clark will be returned to 21st century Smallville at the end of season one and will return to the Legion after he has gained more experience with his powers.

Legion of Super Heroes
news from Comics Continuum.
LEGION OF SUPER HEROES ANIMATED ROUNDUP
Yuri Lowenthal, who provides the voice of Clark Kent/Superman in Kids' WB!'s Legion of Super Heroes, told The Continuum he's begun work on the show's second season.
Lowenthal appeared at the New York Comic Con over the weekend, including Naruto signings at the Inkworks booth.
Lowenthal confirmed he's voiced two different versions of Superman. "Who knows how many more?" he said jokingly.
In other Legion news:- Steve Uy, who is the cover artist for DC Comics' comic book The Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century based on the show, told The Continuum he is also drawing interiors for the fourth issue of the book, due in July.
"It was tricky at first but I got used to the designs," Uy said last weekend from his artists alley table at New York Comic Con.
Uy, who is also working with Fabian Nicieza on a JSA: Classfied story, said Legion #4 will spotlight Brainiac-5. "He has to go back to his home planet and redo his SATs," Uy said. - Duo Damsel will appear in Season 2, as will Triplicate Girl.

Those who know their Legion history will realize that this last item does not bode well for Triplicate Girl.
I'm not sure what is meant by "two different versions of Superman." The way I see it, either Lowenthal is voicing Clark slightly later in his career in season two, or the show is going to bring in Conner (Kon-El) Kent. Do any other possibilities seem likely to anybody?
