Legion of Super-Heroes – Special Features
4K, Blu-ray and Digital
-The Legion Behind The Legion (New Featurette) – It took a heroic effort from a legion of writers, artists, animators and filmmakers to bring Legion of Super-Heroes to life. In this featurette, filmmakers and stars give us a deep dive into the making of the movie, from the original story idea through character development and final animation.
-Meet the Legionnaires (New Featurette) – There are dozens and dozens of Legion members, many of whom are featured in Legion of Super-Heroes. Who made the cut, and why? Lucky for us, the filmmakers are here to introduce us to each one – and give us some background on who they are, and why they’re important to the movie.
-Brainiac Attack: The Intellect Behind the Super-Villain (New Featurette) – In Legion of Super-Heroes, Brainiac 5 proves himself to be the pinnacle of all Brainiac iterations, but how did he become that way? In this featurette, filmmakers explain what we should we know about the 4 Brainiacs who came before him, and how – and why – Brainiac 5 chose his own path.
-Down to Earth: The Story of Supergirl (New Featurette) – Supergirl’s narrow escape from Krypton and her arrival on Earth is just the beginning of our story (literally). In this featurette, filmmakers explain why they chose to center Legion of Super-Heroes on Supergirl, what the backstory is between her and Superman at the start of the movie, and what exactly is going on between her and Brainiac 5.

Pretty nice cover art. If only the character designs in these films matched them, rather than the ugly cartoony style they go with.

[drb999]

Cool. I love the LSH. More extras than they’ve been doing lately as well.

[kevin87]

Sheesh why are all the black lines so thick?

[GeneD5]

Agreed on these other comments. I used to love the previous series of DC movies, their look and tone before the changeover.

DC Animated movies have been disappointing since the Flashpoint saga continuity ended... Are any of these movies even connected anymore?
They haven't been terrible, but they feel lacking in comparison with how much I loved all those movies from Flashpoint to Apokolips War.

I don't mind one-off movies and will usually watch them either way, but they also lack any lasting consequences which make stories more compelling and get me invested.
Either way, I enjoyed the Legion of Superheroes show as a kid, so I'll give this a shot.

[drb999]

Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Justice Society: World War 2, Batman: The Long Halloween and Green Lantern: Beware My Power are all connected. And Legion of Super-Heroes is part of that continuity.

To my surprise I received this yesterday from Best Buy. It came in that stupid wavy chips sticky cardboard stuff. So naturally the slipcover corners are all smashed. My preorder price was $39.99 and now it's listed at $28.99. I didn't get a price adjustment yet. I'm wondering if they will adjust it on release day?

Was it $28.99 when it shipped? I've never had Best Buy do an automatic price adjustment, unless the price lowered before it shipped. Any other time, I had to call in.

No steelbook huh?

unfortunately, looks like they've stopped doing the steelbooks starting with the last release, 'Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons.'

So... How was it? This was a series I worked on at DC... and I'm always afraid to see how someone butchered what I was involve in...

How do we know you aren’t the one that did the butchering? Hmmm how?

[Zimmy]

Yeesh, I was really looking forward to this one.
I thought it was a good idea to change the art style from the Bruce Timm static style but this is so much worse.
Everything is so flat and empty. It in no way looks like a lived in world.
Think of the cheapest flash animation from a weekly animated series, this is worse.
The character designs (except the mains) are awful and supporting heroes are bland as can be.
How anyone in charge can watch the quality of something like Invincible and release this is beyond me.
What should be a quick fun watch ends up being a chore to sit through.
It has the required big beginning fight in a major city with a population of 20 people.

[Majin Blu]

The prices finally dropped.

$14.99 (Blu-ray)
$19.99 (UHD)

I was able to get a price adjustment.

[RalphoR]

Finally got around to watching this and to my surprise I thought it was really good. Super glad I picked it up. Nice cliffhanger at the end of the credits, too.

[albabe]

I didn't even know this existed. I had to return mine and haven't got a replacement yet. I worked on the Comic Book for a few years and I wanted to see how they updated the group.

I could only get a short while into the disc before it started to mess-up, but I'm not too crazy about the Jim Lee-styled zipper outfits that were so popular. The design is nice but the non-black outline on everyone's hair looks really 2-dimensional to me, which is odd since it's supposed to have at least a little 3-D stuff going on.

I'm not even sure what that means. I didn't work on the cartoon. I worked on the actual comic book series. But, hey, thanx for the comment.
