Superman Homepage grabbed an exclusive sneak peak of the character designs for the up-coming animated series Legion of Super-Heroes.

The animated series will appear on the new CW network. CW will be replacing WB and UPN this fall. CW is a joint venture between Warner Bros and CBS, with each company owning an equal 50% stake. The C apparently stands for CBS and the W for Warner. Creativity at its finest.

The plot for the show reads as follows: 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. 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.
