THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2006COMING FRIDAYDC news -- and much more!!!
"Far From Home," an episode of Justice League Unlimited guest-starring the Legion of Super-Heroes, will have its Cartoon Network premiere on Saturday at 10:30 p.m.
The episode was written by Paul Dini from a story by Dwayne McDuffie. It was directed by Dan Riba.
"Supergirl, Green Arrow and Green Lantern go on an adventure 1,000 years in the future and meet the Legion of Super-Heroes -- an adventure from which history says she will not return," McDuffie told The Continuum.
"Paul Dini is back with a terrific script featuring high adventure, romance and definitive proof that Bouncing Boy is much cooler than you thiink. Supergirl's last stand against the combined power of Legion is one of my favorite sequences from the series so far."
Guest voices include Googy Gress as Bouncing Boy, Matt Czurchy as Brainiac 5, Joanne Whaley as Emerald Empress and Tomos Arana as Tharok.
