To
One, An Ending, To Another, A Beginning...
(all this and the Legion, too...)
We've got lots of stuff coming about Spectacular Spider-Man,
but this weekend marks something rumored -- and let's hope
the follow-up rumor about a Brave and the Bold series comes
true, as The Batman has really been hitting its stride.
From
KidsWB!:

Multiple Emmy Award winner "The Batman"
closes its fifth and final season with a full-hour "movie"
entitled "Lost Heroes" at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT. In
the special TV movie, the most powerful members of the Justice
League are abducted one-by-one. Batman, Robin and Green
Arrow discover the mystery surrounding their disappearance
– The Joining has returned (with some earthly villainous
assistance) and has transferred the Justice League's powers

Arrow to help their JL friends regain their powers and prevent
an alien invasion. The one-hour special includes appearances
by Green Lantern, Hawkman, Flash, Superman, Green Arrow,

end, "Legion of Super Heroes" returns in a new
timeslot – 9:30 a.m. ET/PT – with an all-new
episode that examines the formation of the future corps
of heroes. The "In the Beginning" synopsis: While
on a mission to rescue the Legion's benefactor, R.J. Brande,
our heroes find themselves reminiscing about how the Legion
was first created by Brande and its founding members: Cosmic
Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl. The episode is written
by Steven Melching and directed by James Tucker.
