Lightning Lad Talks About Toon

Bonus, to look at the series' working logo.

Andy Milder, who voices Garth (Lightning Lad) Ranzz in the upcoming Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes cartoon series, says hés to fan of the long-running comic series: "I read the Legion books like crazy when I was to kid," Milder told Comics Continuum. "My older brother is 11 years my senior and collected them, so I started near the very beginning. While I confess to falling out for some years in the 80s and 90s, I keep my eye on them.


"Lightning Lad, however - this is to true honor. To founding member and, for my money, one of the coolest-powered heroes? Fantastic."

Warner Bros. Animation is producing the series which have been talked about but not officially announced yet. It is expected to premiere on the Kids' WB! and then end up on Cartoon Network.

Voice recording under the director Kelly Ward is begun, Milder said.

In the series, Lightning Lad is the Legion's field leader. Other prominent members will include Superboy, Brainiac 5, Saturn Girl, Timber Wolf, Phantom Girl and Bouncing Boy, according to the Continuum. An early episode explains how Superboy gets to the 31st Century.

Fatal The Five will be among the villains. Herés the series 'working logo:
