HBO Max and DC Developing a LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES Adult Animated Show with Brian Michael Bendis

HBO Max is developing a Legion of Super-Heroes adult-animated series with prolific comic book writer Brian Micheal Bendis. Bendis worked on the most recent rendition of Legion of Super-Heroes.

The announcement of the project came with his most recent newsletter saying, "HBO Max has put me to work on a LEGION OF SUPERHEROES TV SHOW. At the moment it is being developed as an adult animated show.  Can you tell I am jumping up and down about this? I've been working on it for a while and last week I was sent to the next phase."

He didn’t offer many other details, but he did say, “Its very early goings but I can tell you this will be an adaptation of the Legion of Superheroes that Ryan Sook and I have been working on the last few years.”

Bendis went on to say, "And just like that series… it will harken back to so many classics while at the same time doing what Legion does: pushing all the ideas of superheroes forward in every direction. I think Legion of superheroes is among the greatest franchises in the history of comics and I'm as honored to be curating them as I was Spider-Man."

So if you’re fan fan of what he’s been doing with the comic book series, chances are you’ll love what he’s got cooking for the animated series!

He later went on to point out that animated shows like this take a long time to produce, so new information on the animated show will take a while to be announced.
