Legion cartoon Oct. 8

The whole idea of Superboy being obliged to help the Legion doesn't sit right
with me. He's not a policeman or a soldier; saving the world isn't his job.
We think of it as his job because his name is on the cover of the old comic
and his symbol is in the opening credits, but it isn't, not really. The
Legion has about as much right to demand his time as Alexis has to demand some
Lobo lookalike's space motorbike.

(And yes, I noticed the Interlac on her shirt at the end of the episode.
It reads Luthor. At least we won't be getting Clark/Lex Luthor slash for
this series....)

Presumably, he took the Legion oath, which (being Superman) means
something to him. It includes something like "...and I will always
come to the aid of fellow Legionnaires".

No, we'll be getting Clark/Brainiac slash. :)
