Animation Update: Legion of Super Heroes, Ben 10

Two items of interest this week...

Warner Brothers Animation is confirming that this will be the last season for the Legion of Super Heroes, as production has halted for the Kids WB! series. There will be three more episodes of the series, with two of them being part of the series finale that will air sometime later this year. Replacing this series, on someplace other than Kids WB!, which ends its run this season, will be a new program entitled Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Whether this show will replace the current The Batman series, or where this show will air, has yet to be determined.

If you thought it was over for Ben Tennyson and the Omnitrix, think again. Come April 18th there will be a new Ben 10 series on Cartoon Network titled Ben 10: Alien Force. In this sequel to the original series, it has been five years since Ben has used the Omnitrix. However, when Grandpa Max is kidnapped he needs to don the hero-generator once again. This time around, though, it gives him a whole new set of alien forms. More information on Alien Force can be found at the Cartoon Network website.
