There was supposed to be an announcement at WonderCon about the Legion by Bendis. I've been waiting since then to find out what it was.

Yeah, I wondering if it was the rumored HBO Max mini-series back in December 2019. https://boundingintocomics.com/2019...-of-super-heroes-miniseries-for-hbo-max/ Rumor: Greg Berlanti Producing a Legion of Super-Heroes Miniseries for HBO Max
JB Augustine December 20, 2019 Television
A new rumor details that Arrow and Supergirl executive producer Greg Berlanti has another assignment lined up for HBO Max a Legion of Super-Heroes miniseries. Word is it is going to be epic.
Mikey Sutton served up the scoop in an exclusive to JLS Comics an associate of Lords of the Longbox on YouTube. Sutton says Berlanti is going cosmic and planning a Legion adaptation that has a big budget behind it.
Sutton asserts there is ?no time frame yet, but development has begun even if in a pre-scripting stage. What line-up remains to be seen although Berlanti is particularly fond of the early 80s run, says Sutton, specifying Berlanti is most fond of the Fourth Volume launched in 89.
The Legion has a long history, as JLS Comics notes, debuting in the 1950s. But, up to today, they are known for an association with Superboy.
That tendency to team up with the young Kal-El passed to Kara Zor-El on Supergirl. If the CW drama starring Melissa Benoist is any indication, Brainiac 5 and Mon-El might make it onto the miniseries.
How consistent the team on HBO Max will be to the one on Supergirl remains to be seen, said Sutton. Berlanti has more money promised so he could put it to good use by hiring well-known actors.
Berlanti has more funds to play around with here so hiring larger actors is a possibility, Sutton said. In other words, the production might be an Elseworlds restart.
Greg Berlanti inked a contract extension with Warner Bros. in 2018 to the tune of $400 million. Extending into 2024, the deal incentivizes him to make more projects beyond his current number of 14. Extra cash kicks in as he develops more content.
His name is attached to Strange Adventures and Green Lantern Corps also for HBO Max. According to the scoop, he is allegedly in the early stages of developing several comic book-related productions, including Kingdom Come. Brandon Routh already playing that Earth Superman makes things easier.
Berlanti is the impresario of the Arrowverse and has credits as an associate producer on DC Universe originals such as Doom Patrol and Stargirl.
HBO Max launches in mid-2020.
I like the rumored comment of, has more funds to play around with, which I think would be needed to provide great quality CGI to the LSH stories.

I'm leaning towards the new hats theory.

Something else to do with his current-day stuff, like dealing with the 30th century legacy of Jinny Hex or Naomi, perhaps, to play on his strengths (that being his own original characters)?
Or something else pertaining to the 21st century setting. We've already had Jon Kent and Aquaman's trident and a glimpse of future Gotham. A 'Legion' story that's all about the far-future of Batman's legacy or the Amazons seems totally on-theme...

All joking aside, what was the announcement?

Not clear yet, unless it was the revised solicitation to Issue #8.
I suppose a big two-issue special, all-star artist thing could be construed as a "big announcement".

The all-star list of artist is impressive for any comic, especially if it isn't celebrating a milestone (i.e. April 1958 - 62 years) or maybe a 750 or 1,000 issue celebration?
There have been some bread crumbs of:
1) Limited movie series on HBO
2) Crossover with Young Justice
3) A second comic series in the Legion future
4) A new artist (e.g. from Marvel)(i.e. bi-weekly Legion)
5) Updated characters / super-villians or intro of a new super-hero team (i.e. Heroes of Lallor)
6) Supergirl joining LSH (with her comic cancelled)

There was something about the gold lantern and a new spectrum color. Maybe that's considered a huge announcement?

Plaid Lantern rises from the sleep of centuries! But is he hero... or villain?!
(...or fashion statement)
I'll be happy just to look down at a couple of years worth of published issues (on time, global circumstances allowing). So 1) would be fine and the others are running a bit before walking (never mind flight ring training)

Look like Bendis huge announcement is the planned participation of many artists involved in drawing different panels for LSH #8 and #9. Legion of Super-Heroes #8 is written by Brian Bendis #8 illustrated by: - Andr? Lima Ara?jo (i.e. Young Justice, LSH: Millennium) - Sanford Greene (i.e. LSH 2013, Teen Titans Go) - Cully Hamner (i.e. Green Lantern: Mosaic, Blue Beetle, Detective Comics) - Joelle Jones (i.e. Lady Killer, Catwoman) - Jeff Lemire (i.e. Justice League United, Black Hammer/Justice League, The Question) - Dustin Nguyen (i.e. LSH: Millennium, Robin's 80th Anniversary) - Michael Avon Oeming (i.e. Young Justice, Powers) - Evan Doc Shaner (i.e. The Terrifics, Supergirl, Batman Beyond) - Liam Sharp (i.e. The Green Lantern, Dark Knight: Metal) https://twitter.com/BRIANMBENDIS/status/1263457213772902401 https://www.newsarama.com/50312-superman-stares-down-mongul-and-secret-identity-exposure-in-22.html
Bendis: Oh, we have so much excitement in the Legion. We have a two-issue surprise coming up in Legion I can?t wait to show you.
Nrama: You teased something ?ambitious? coming in issues #8 and #9. Is that the surprise you?re talking about?
Bendis: Yes, #8 and #9. Craziest things that we?ve ever attempted, and it?s all coming together. I can?t wait.
