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

Thanks for posting the pages Nighty!
I honestly don't know anything about this mini series ... Time Masters is it? It's the search for Bruce Wayne or something?
I wonder what relevence it has with the Legion, or was this Brainy appearance just him lending a helping hand to Booster?
Is it possible the Legion will play a role in the rest of the story ... hmmmmm, maybe I should pick up a copy.

Future King,

Technically it is the search for Bruce Wayne. But I think it is more of a Rip Hunter story. I am not sure if there will be any more Legin appearances. The story so-far seems good and solid.

Thanks for the tip Quislet,Esq.
I think I'll go buy all three copies after work today. It sounds like it might be well worth it.

i say its a ...how Rip Hunter was taught everything he knows of Time Travel by his dad (Booster Gold) who in turn was taught by his Son...paradox city!!!

with the search for bruce wayne being the excuse for the mini series...

By the way looks like Brainy is on Booster's Secret heroism...so that makes 3 people who know Booster's not the fool he appears to the main Dc universe.

I'll second Quis on Vanishing Point: It's been solid so far.

That might be the friendliest Brainy I've seen a while; I mean, he was practically neutral to them.

I missed Superman/Batman #75. Is the Legion appearance worth me picking up a copy?

For me Superman/Batman #75 was a bit of a throw-away Legion appearance as they really didn't do too much to drive the story. I won't spoil it for you though.
I'm a completist collector so I had to get it.

It's nice to see the Legion get exposure across different DC books, so that was a bonus. And, I have to admit, they did look good ... especially Violet.

It makes sense that Rip would learn about Time and the Multiverse from Brainy which is what I think the second to last box on the second page suggests. To think it was Booster you have to believe Booster will be as good as Rip one day. I don't buy that.

I have to disagree Para-Dox. I think Booster is learning about the workings of Time Travel enough to pass on that knowledge to his son aka Rip. Booster does not need to be as good as RIp in order to start teaching him about time travel. And Rip could always build upon whatever knowledge Booster gives him, thus exceeding his father's knowledge. Rip definitely has a more serious demeanor than Booster. But that doesn't mean that Booster is unintelligent or unable to impart knowledge. I would say that Rip's knowledge of time travel will still be greater than Booster's. Even Einstein had teachers whom he later surpassed in knowledge.

Plus I don't see Brainiac 5 actually giving much thought to time travel. It was Rond Vidar who created the Legion's Time Cube, later Time Bubble. And I don't see Brainiac 5 taking the time to teach anybody about anything really. (Silver Age Brainy maybe, but not current Brainiac 5)

Also the fact that Booster if far more mature as Rip's dad than he is now...and in fact he's already maturing right now from what he used to be When his first series and Justice League books were out. SO Yeah respect the Booster...like all of us...we were careless and fancy free and became adults and became (somewhat more serious) and you need to get off Booster's lawn!!

I'll third it--I think the series has been excellent.

I love the idea of Brainy being a long-time friend to Booster & Rip at various times in their careers. What I find fascinating is how Brainy might have experienced all this: perhaps one day he's interacting with an older Booster and the next an older Rip and then the next a older Booster/young Rip and eventually older Rip will bring young Booster and so on. Confusing to just about anyone...who isn't 12th level intelligence. He likely has no problems dealing with it.

I'm also loving how Brainy's knowledge of Booster's true heroism also explains how Booster has kept his flight ring unofficially for all these years (centuries).

DC Comics Presents: Brightest Day #2 has a reprint of a Martian Manhunter story with a Legion cameo. Nice art by Hitch & Neary.

Thanks to ultron7 over at the DCMBs.

Zatanna #7 has the first appearance of the newly created Magic Museum and its curator Antonia Stefanacci.

Cool!

Honestly, this is the kind of thing I love in comics. Who but attentive Legion fans would get that reference!

Phantom Girl and Mon-El make a rather sizeable background in Superman/Batman #79.

^^Thanks for the heads up!!

So I was at my local comic shop today getting some excellent Boxing Day prices so I just threw this copy of Superman/Batman #79 into my pile (without looking inside, natch), assuming that there would be more of a Legion presence then just this 2 page spread, but nope!

Just a head's up to anybody else out there who might be thinking of picking this up. Sadly, what you see is what you get.

A couple of months old, but...

In Teen Titans #88, Bart Allen is trying to get written down all of the things he memorized from his and Conner's brief time (Lo3W) in the future.



That definitely looks like a Legion Time Bubble in the bottom frame. I'd say this is a tick in the "Legion might be involved with Flashpoint" column.

I really would like to see PG played up more from an inter-dimensional standpoint, or that of an "other wordly" mindset. I don't mean that she has to suddenly be buried alive under a ton of gravitas, but her comment to Superboy about how she's "more comfortable in ambiguous situations" than most humans was pretty much the most interesting thing (to me) about those Adventure flashback stories.

Impulse is one of those characters who I feel bad for not liking. He seems to be hugely popular on some other fansites I visit regularly, but mostly what I've seen of him so far just annoys the crap out of me.

He, like Conner, aren't so bad now, since they were brought back.

Kid Psycho is in 'Superboy #3', opening up a time travel encounter.
Conner mentions the Legion, trying to identify the Kid, but this one is only from about 150 years in the future.

That's Psionic Lad in Superboy #3. It'd be cool if there was some relation to Kid Psycho, but I'd be very surprised it there were.

I'd be interested to see what kind of character they'd update a 'Kid Psycho' into these days-- interested the way I imagine those irritating people who slow down to a crawl to gawk at traffic wrecks are.

Everyone, LISTEN TO ME. It is imperative that you all pick up Superman/Batman #80 next Wednesday. For some reason a store had them early, and this comic features the return of a Legionnaire long thought missing.
