Hey guys. I snagged a copy of the new hardcover edition for L3W, and it's got a lot of info from the original proposal regarding what Johns sought to do with Legion of 3 Worlds and the Legion moving forward.
XS and Impulse's family fled to Earth-247 specifically because they were trying to escape the Dominators. There's no mention anywhere about the Reverse-Flash, so I doubt he was involved regarding what the "original" case of the three Legions was about.
There was no mention at all of R.J. Brande being killed. The United Planets is thrown into chaos specifically due to Prime's onslaught as he rebuilds the LSV and declared he would destroy any who support the "false" Superman.
The Time Trapper was only using Prime to distract the Legion from taking care of a more pressing concern, instead of trying to destroy them once and for all. While the Trapper's identity was going to be revealed, Johns doesn't say it was Prime.
Darkseid apparently had something to do with destroying the Green Lantern Corps. The series would've tied in a bit more to Final Crisis, including Supergirl being brought to the future to help the Legion as well.
The Reboot Legion would've been disturbed by the knowledge they were doppelgangers, and after being trapped in limbo would've been recklessly willing to sacrifice themselves on the belief their time was running out.
The Threeboot Legion would've hated their adult counterparts and had to learn to trust them, so it looks like there would've been more interactions between the Legionnaires beyond the three Brainys.
Lex Luthor would've been brought to the future by the Reboot Legion to clone Conner Kent, instead of just reviving him. This would explain why he was included in the original promo image for L3W despite only making an actual appearance in the series as a teen in the past.
The core Legionnaires who got focus would've been the Action Comics cast, for the Reboot it was Jazmin, Gates, XS, Brainy, and Shikari, and the Threeboot would've been Tasmia, Tinya, Jo, and Thom. The founders for all three versions would've been in the spotlight too.
Johns wanted to do a Secret Files issue for Superman and the Legion, and another for Prime and the LSV. He also wanted to return to Teen Titans to write about Conner and Bart reunited with Cassie and Tim.
A Kid Flash series was proposed featuring Jenni following Bart back to the present to help him deal with his trauma and return to his fun loving personality.
Conner would've possibly used a different name like Super-Son due to the rights situation.
A Superman and the Legion series was proposed as like an opposite to Batman and the Outsiders.
Lightning Lad would've gotten jealous over Imra spending time with Rokk.
