Legion of Superheroes Toon to debut in the Fall

According to the "Kid's WB ! on the CW," Legion of Superheroes will debut this fall on Saturday mornings. This animated series will feature Superboy (Superman as a teenager) and is set in the future, like the Silver Age comic on which it is based. This show will not follow the continuity of previous animated series, despite appearances by the Legion on both Superman and Justice League Unlimited.

Here's how the network describes the series:

One thousand years from now, a group of teenage super heroes travel back in time to recruit the greatest hero of all, Superman, and enlist him their fight against evil in the 31st Century. While their intentions were good, their time travel skills were not, and Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Phantom Girl, Bouncing Boy and Timber Wolf end up going too far back into the past, accidentally retrieving the young Superboy instead. Together, this unlikely Legion of Super Heroes bands together to defend the rights of all free worlds and uphold the laws of the newly formed United Planets. That is, if they don't kill each other first. Legion Of Super Heroes combines humor with high-stakes, grand-scale super heroics to create the ultimate sci-fi, super hero fantasy for kids of all ages. Each episode of this fast-paced, character-driven action comedy will pit Superboy and the Legion against otherworldly threats and adversaries who challenge the team on both super heroic and emotional levels.

No official pics of the show are available yet.

Also debuting on the network's Saturday mornings this Fall are new Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry series.
