While not as well known as the Justice League and the Teen Titans, the Legion of Super-Heroes has been one of DC Comics’ premier superhero teams for 65 years, so it’s only natural that characters from this corner of DC lore have been adapted for others. . . projects. The last of them is the latest live-action DC animated film, legion of superheroeswhich follows the story directed by Aldis Hodge Green Lantern: Beware of my power in the development of the continuity of the Tomorrowverse. And how beware of my power and its predecessor Justice Society: World War II, legion of superheroes was directed by Jeff Wamester, who spoke to Gossipify about crafting the film’s action scenes and why he was “excited” to tell this team’s story.
legion of superheroes marks another DC film in which Jeff Wamester has characters with a variety of special powers and abilities, such as Justice Society: World War II saw Barry Allen aka The Flash team up with Earth-2’s Flash, Hourman, Black Canary, Wonder Woman and Hawkman, and John Stewart team up with Green Arrow, Hawkgirl and Adam Strange in Green Lantern: Beware of my power. From legion of superheroesI asked Wamester to discuss the action animation process to make sure each character is distinct, and he replied:
The characters we chose were there because they were visually easy to express… It’s very easy with Bouncing Boy and Arms-Fall-Off Boy and Triplicate Girl. Right off the bat, we can tell you exactly what his powers are, right? So when we get into the fight scenes, it’s like pre-setting him, and then because his powers are so unique, I mean, it’s pretty hard to beat Arms-Fall-Off Boy, isn’t it? You know what I mean? As long as you do something with it, it will be fun. Same with Bouncing Boy and Triplicate Girl, it doesn’t take much effort to be honest to make them look good and have fun with them. They win their time.
Although Meg Donnelly’s Supergirl (who we will see fighting against Solomon Grundy) and Harry Shum Jr. are the protagonists of legion of superheroesIn this film, they are surrounded by Bouncing Boy, Triplicate Girl, Mon-El, Arm-Fall-Off Boy, Dawnstar and Phantom Girl as Legion Academy classmates, and Shadow Lass, Timber Wolf and Chemical King as teachers. as well as Superman, Batman, and The Flash, all of whom appear in actual scenes from the film. As for Legion members, Jeff Wamester explained that he and his team have this programming because it helps them stand out more and viewers can easily keep track of who’s who. This is in contrast to a storyline where a group of people use the same powers, such as super strength or super speed, which might be interesting to watch, but don’t quite have the same panache.
legion of superheroes comes four years after the team featured prominently in an animated film Justice League vs the Fatal Fiveand along with the team having their own anime series from 2006 to 2008, they have excelled in shows like Superman: The Animated Series, League of Justice Unlimited, small town AND super girl. On what makes the Legion such an appealing superhero team, Jeff Wamester had this to say:
For me, a lot of Legion is looking at a whole new world of superpowers and different characters and interpretations, rather than trying to fit them into the world we have now. [live in]. Most comics say, “What is it now?” If these characters were here now, what would they look like? Instead of looking to a future where it’s like, ‘What challenges do they have? What do they have to do with? What kind of powers and how would we apply those powers in this kind of world in a different scenario? I look forward to telling this kind of story.
