What’s Interlac for ‘Run this by legal’?

Friday June 23, 2006, 7:46 am

At The Legion Omnicom, Michael points out an interesting change in press-release language for the upcoming Legion of Super Heroes cartoon, presumably in response to the ongoing legal squabble over the rights to Superboy.

In the original press materials,
announcing the Kids’ WB fall lineup, the character with the “S” and
spit curl was referred to as “the young Superboy”: “… While their
intentions were good, their time travel skills were not, and 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” (emphasis added).

But in the current press release, quoted by The Legion Omnicom, the
character is “the young Superman, before he moved to Metropolis”: “…
While their intentions were good, their time travel skills were not,
and 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 Superman, before he moved to Metropolis” (emphasis added, again).

There had been a lot of discussion on message boards about how the
lawsuit might affect the animated series. It looks as if “young
Superman” may be Warner Bros.’ solution.
