Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

I'm loving the art! Am also liking some of the subtle characterization just from the group scene (like how Karate Kid is bowing, how small Violet is front and center, and how Timber Wolf is a bit bulkier than most). fingers crossed that the story does them justice.

also like the way the founders are greeting

Apparently this has been confirmed by Waid at a con over the weekend.

Huh. That's interesting. DC it seems is definitely keeping its investment in the Bendis/Sook designs based on the Green Arrow preview, so they are still around as some kind of training group for the young present-day heroes.

But Waid taking a different route is also interesting.

And who knows what the hell Johns is doing?

Whatever it is, it's keeping him from meeting his deadlines

Are your kids acting up? Grades slipping? Friends you disapprove of?
Well, the answer awaits you tomorrow! Send your child 1000 years into the future! There they will learn future science in the safety of Brainy's lab! Law enforcement against Takron Galtos escapees! Animal husbandry with the Legion of Superpets!

Yes, your child can have some of the reflected glory that the original Superboy had! Join the hordes of other characters, and call Brande Ind. now!

How old is Connor Hawke supposed to be? He's quite a bit older than Jonathan Kent, right? Even with JK being aged up? It just seems weird to put him with the Legion.

Eh, maybe they needed another adult to hang out with Rose

I'm trying to sort out my feelings with this.

Clearly the mainstream DCU is going to keep this design of the Legion. I guess that's fine - I think I just want a good writer to come to bat to tell the stories that are teased just by the designs!

That said, it'd be great to tweak a couple of these designs that aren't so great.

Waid is clearly steering away from this bunch.

If nothing else, this throws out the conventional wisdom that the Legion is off the table until Johns gets around to whatever he's doing.

Though I would've preferred to fill the gap by letting Palmiotti and Conner do the series they wanted to do,

I’m just sad we missed the opportunity to bring Oli-3 back into continuity. He could have given his grandpas a ride around on his tour bus!

Hahaha that would be pretty cool actually!

Not really a sighting, but something suspicious...

Okay, so various castings for the new Superman: Legacy movie are being rolled out in the media. We had Mr. Terrific announced for the film yesterday (along with Hawkgirl and Guy Gardner), and today Metamorpho was announced for the film.

A few weeks/months back James Gunn teased the Terrifics on Twitter. We now have 2 of 4 members confirmed, which might imply that the team will show up in some capacity. That leaves Plastic Man and Phantom Girl. If Plastic Man's casting is announced soon, that might mean a cinematic Phantom Girl! Well, a Phantom Girl anyway.

Here's hoping.

A new mobile game called DC: Dark Legion just dropped a teaser. Nothing revealed except the Batman Who Laughs in a dark room:

And the website:
https://dcdarklegion.com/

The description for the YouTube teaser says this:
"DC: Dark Legion is a new strategy game from FunPlus, coming to iOS and Android in 2024. With an original story inspired by the Dark Nights: Metal comic series, DC: Dark Legion will see players take on the role of an agent from the 31st century as they fight to stop The Batman Who Laughs and his Dark Knights from destroying everything they know, while recruiting their favorite DC heroes and villains to their team."

I guess we'll have to wait and see how much of a Legion connection there is, but I don't see how there can't be with that description.

Also, it's a mobile game so it's probably a shameless cash grab with microtransactions, designed to extract money from whales.

And now we have John Mulvaney as Plastic Man! Which, incidentally, is an inspired choice!

Legion of Super-Pets founder gets another movie
(Yes, they are actually going to release it this time)

ooh sweet, thanks for sharing Klar!

Bouncing Boy made an appearnce on the most recent episode of Harley Quinn.

oooh! nice, totally Chuck!

Spoilers for tomorrow's issue of Justice Society:

Well, that looks like a pile of laughs.

Johns is really obsessed with Per Degaton. The JSA has faced other foes. And to keep him relevant, he has to increase his powers/worth every time. Come up with something new, please.

Roy Thomas also heavily used Per Degaton, but kept within "the rules" rather than trying to artificially amp him up.

So Johns's use of the character kind of fits in with his general m.o. of late Bronze Age worship, but with lots more dead bodies.

I consider this a backhanded blessing

It's too bad I'm missing out on Jerry Ordway and Mikel Janin art, but I just can't with Johns anymore.

For posterity....
