I tried loading it up soon after reading here last year or so that there was new Legion content, but only my highest level character could even go to the Legion area, and even then, was woefully underpowered for even the basic stuff (since I hadn't played for over a year and was not 'built' according to whatever is the current vogue), let alone the one 'big fights' I attempted (against the Eye of Ekron, IIRC, those sorts of fights are meant for a dozen or more heroes, but there were only a few of us present, so I just got killed a lot).
It was neat seeing some Legion stuff, but not neat enough for me to be worth the hassle. I really do get a thrill in DC Online playing missions involving DC characters like the Teen Titans or Solomon Grundy or Poison Ivy, but generally can't stand the 'for console players only' gameplay.

(Possibly) Legion-relevant lines on the chalkboard:
THE LEGIONS OF F- FUTURE REMEMBER- OF THE LEGIONS
WHO'S HUNTING THE TIME-
That last one may be Time Trapper. And as for the first one: Legions of Forever? Legions of Future Timelines? Legions of F*cked-up Timelines?
Unlike some of you I like Geoff Johns' writing style. And I have loved all of his work on the Legion so far, especially his Earth-Man story, which became very relevant in America when fake news became prominent during the election. My only two concerns are 1.) his refusal to let dead characters stay dead, and 2.) his predeliction for putting gore on the page, neither of which fit the Legion franchise (any timeline). His characterization of the Legionnaires has been good, IMO, which is the most important thing to me. And he also feels that Superman is missing something without the Legion in his backstory, which is something I agree with very strongly.
EDIT
The Legions of Four Earths seems pretty likely, actually!
He actually can, and I believe he set her up to return. When the main timeline's Mordru killed Kinetix in Legion of Three Earths he absorbed all of her lifeforce. This would imply Kinetix isn't gone but is within the main Earth's Mordru now, so a writer could have her "reborn" or pulled out.
I noticed Geoff Johns pulled all of the unique Reboot Legionnaires off the team before they became the new Wanderers. Kinetix was absorbed into Mordru, and Gates and XS stayed behind to join the original Legion. The Reboot was basically put out to pasture, but the newer characters it introduced were set aside for later use (except Kid Quantum who was the Reboot Legion's leader and had to stay, and Andromeda who is a Supergirl stand-in).

and Shikari, but Dawnstar was there as a sort of analogue indeed.
re Kinetix, that's also how I brought her back in my fic - Mordru was trapped in Mysa, but Kinertix was trapped inside Mordru giving a way to bring her back without too much difficulty.
If, by some miracle, Johns does this, it will go a long way to repair his reputation in my book.
It would be interesting, woudn't it? The last time Johns first became involved in the Legion was bringing back the "classic" Legion while the Threeboot was running, and we all know how that ended...
Interested in the Post-Zero Hour Reboot Legion? Check out:
I't's no secret that I found most of Johns.s previous Legion work frustrating at best (though Bendis' s run has made it look a lot better in retrospect), but I'd be all for a "Legion of Four Worlds" if it re-established all of the previous versions of the Legion as "out there" (which was what LO3W was supposed to establish), and especially if we got to see further adventures of the various versions in something other than mass Crisis-type events.
...but I'd be all for a "Legion of Four Worlds" if it re-established all of the previous versions of the Legion as "out there" (which was what LO3W was supposed to establish)
The key phrase is "supposed to." It failed the first time, why would it work the second time?
I don't think I would've been fond of the Retroboot Legion until Levitz came back. He was able to put Garth and Imra's "new" personalities into perspective as a result of trauma, even if I love Action 864.
I do not trust Johns with the Legion now any more than I would trust him with the Titans or the Justice Society.

Hence the need for the next part of my sentence. But, yeah, even though I'd favor the idea in principle, I'm extremely skeptical of what would happen in practice.

I know, I just couldn't resist adding a bit of snark.

I'm sorry about that
No need to apologize. He did screw up with Doomsday Clock. He screwed up terribly. The "ending" of that mini-series actually made me give up on the DCU altogether for a while.
In the latest episode of Peacemaker (Ep.4) on HBO Max, Peacemaker claims he had a team-up with Matter Eater Lad. Here's the exchange.
Peacemaker: Ever since I had a team-up with Matter Eater Lad my sense of normal's been a little fucked up.
Boss: You have to keep Vigilante close, if he talks it could ruin everything.
Peacemaker: I once saw him eat an entire Wendy's restaurant.
Boss: Vigilante ate a restaurant?
Peacemaker: No, Matter Eater Lad, that's his power, he can eat anything. Took too long with his fries or something. Guys a fucking lunatic.
Boss: His name's Matter Eater Lad?
I'm really enjoying this show. This came out of no where so caught me off guard. It seems James Gunn is the only filmmaker putting out Legion-related content*, even if it is all for jokes.
