Ranking Every DC Animated TV Series From Worst To Best
13. Legion Of Super Heroes
Based in part on the comic series of the same name as well as a story arc from Justice League: Unlimited, The Legion of Super Heroes was yet another DC animated show that, despite possessing oodles of quality, lacks the devoted fan following that its contemporaries had.
Set in a future where Braniac (or rather, Braniac's distant descendant) is a hero, and where many of DC's heroes no longer have a presence, the Legion of Super-Heroes follows a futuristic Justice League as they do battle with a manner of different foes, complete this time with the addition of a young Superman (originally called Superboy in the comics) transported to the future.
The show lasted two great, if short, seasons on Cartoon Network before being cancelled in 2008. And while it may not have been another Teen Titans or Young Justice, it was still one of the most unique superhero shows out there, complete with a ludicrously funky intro.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
