I wonder why the hell they'd have the Legion in that poster anyway?!?!
a) Supes had basically been ripped out of LSH continuity after the Crisis.
b) In continuity they now only had a passing acquaintance with Supes via the Time After Time arc.
c) TMK Legion had very few 20th century appearances at the time, limited to pretty much Furball/Timber Wolf and, ugh, Jamm (and he was never a Legionnaire, thank god!).
I guess the reasons are twofold: a) Symbolically the Legion were a big part of Supes' history, continuity or no, so Jurgens wanted to acknowlege that. And, b) DC was probably trying to represent all the heroes that had currently had ongoings in the poster whether it made sense for them to be there or not.
In any case the Legion probably had a better idea than anyone else that Supes was gonna get better, so why bother?

Well, it must be promotional as it is, because Martian Manhunter's alter ego at the time is in attendance with him, and why Tim Drake is helping bear Supes over Nightwing is beyond me.
Hell, Jimmy O. was always Supes' pal, can't he bring himself together to help lift the man?
Besides, the following issue of Action afterwords I recently read where Dr. Occult shows up and explains to Supes and Lois that Superman didn't ACTUALLY die in the first place, so if I ever get th chance in my so far nonexistent writing career, I'd bring that point back up, at least with DC's creative minds that I could.
