Nia Nal (Dreamer) showed up in this Tuesday's issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El #13. Jon gives her special gloves that control her powers, which were given to him by the Bendis Legion's Dream Girl, who told him they would meet.
Dreamer again in the recent issue of Superman: Son of Kal-El #14. She does nothing Legion related. However...
Jon's boyfriend Jay was given a Legion Ring and a suit "from the future" by Jon. The suit kinda-maybe-sorta has the first Phantom Girl's look/vibe to it with being mostly solid white, but with white and blue instead of white and black. And Jay has original recipe Phantom Girl's powers. The cover also refers to Jay with the "new" superhero name Gossamer, which SW6 Ayla used during the Five Years Later era.
So now there is a Gossamer flying around with a Legion ring and a suit from the 31st century, though maybe not in the way most Legion fans may have ever predicted...

The two relevant Legion parts that are said to come out of the DCoIE:
"When Alexander Luthor manipulated the Multiverse during the Infinite Crisis, the Post-Zero Hour future appeared as alternate Earth-247. And now it's back."
"The War Of The Legions is coming. Will The Legion Of Four Worlds be involved?"
I know Bleeding Cool isn't considered a "dignified" source by many, but when it comes to inside info about DC events like this Rich Johnston has a stellar record of revealing things before they happen.
DC keeps trying to slip these Legion references by me, but I'm more obsessed than they think I am. There is a one-shot coming out after Flashpoint Beyond called The New Golden Age. Check out the exclusive here:
Look at the Mike Allred variant cover, the one with Rip Hunter and Batman. The year 3024 appears four times in the background. If we follow most modern-day Legion "rules", this would likely be the current year of whichever Legion is currently canon, so they will probably zip by the Legion's time. And since Geoff Johns is writing it, it probably won't be the Bendisboot that they visit...
“I’m happy to be writing these two titles, each one of them focused on celebrating and expanding the history (and far future) of heroism in the DC Universe, exploring unseen heroes, villains and adventures alongside the ones we all know and love,” said Geoff Johns. “Our goal is to delve into the neglected corners of DC with this new group of titles, from the JSA to the Legion, and all those who operate between. It’s the story of where superheroes came from, where they’re going and why they’re always needed.”
November is so far away. But I guess that gives Legion vs Justice League time to finish.
Now that I think on it, the delays for LvJL might be tied to Johns' Legion stories, with some last minute rewrites happening. I suspect the ending of that series will tease November's Legion story.
Wally and Wallace are in the front, with various background characters wearing shirts with logos that remind of other characters. Booster and Blue Beetle, Liberty Bell and Hourman, etc. And then there is a blond girl with a pink saturn planet logo on her shirt. Its the same pink logo that Saturn Girl had on the cartoon series.
We see the blackboard clearly now. The Legion-specific part now reads:
The Legions of Four Worlds_____Do Not Trust Future Remember Earth-3?______Warn Earth-247 War of the Legions
This isn't really new information, but a confirmation of what Bleeding Cool said previously. I do find it odd though that all of the time-altering villain line-ups never include Glorith or Timer Trapper. Maybe its because Glorith wiped herself from the timeline so no one remembers her? Or because they mostly screw with the future?
The preview for Teen Justice #5 is out. Teen Justice takes place on Earth-11 where the central "gimmick" is that everyone is gender-swapped compared to the main Earth.

Maybe it's a time-tossed Legionnaire like Star Boy. Hell, it might even be Star Boy again. Or maybe a completely separate character with no connection. But Geoff Johns has implied this entire storyline is leading to the Legion, so there is a good chance there is a connection!
Sidenote: One of the "Thirteen" is named Cherry Bomb, which is the name of a minor Reboot Legion villain, one of Ze Tongue's allies. But looking at an upcoming cover for the Golden Age book, it appears to be Human Bomb's "erased" sidekick.
Edit: Also, the name "Golden Age Legionnaire" is very particular here. I've looked and can find no DC character called Legionnaire. The fact that there are also a Golden Age Red Lantern and a Golden Age Aquaman is very telling, as far as naming goes. It implies this Legionnaire is part of a legacy. Otherwise it would just say Legionnaire. I'm 90% sure we're getting a 31st century character who went back in time and then got erased. I'm just not sure if it will be a new character or an old one...
