the first DC panel, Countdown, is live right now and already some talks about the legion!
quote:Next question was about the various Legion continuities apparently running around currently - both in the Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes title and the one in the "Lightning Saga" storyline. Marts said that some answers should be coming soon, and DiDio reminded the panel (and audience) that next year is the 50th anniversary of the Legion
And there is also this:
quote:A fan asked the relatively hard-hitting question "If you could take back one editorial or policy decision in DC's history, what would it be?" DiDio said the whole panel should answer the question - Marts said "crippling Barbara Gordon," Jurgens said taking Superboy out of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Calafiore jokingly said "The Black Racer is the dumbest looking character," McKeever said killing Conner Kent, Beechen agreed with Jurgens' answer, Bedard said separating the DC Universe and the Vertigo lines, Gray said "cancelled The Monolith," Palmiotti answered "cancelling 21 Down," Dini said "the cancellation of Plop," Carlin answered not re-staring Superman and Wonder Woman right after the first Crisis. DiDio didn't really answer.

Thanks for the update. Keep the news coming. Oh and enjoy the convention.

quote:“Can you tell us anything about what's going on with the Legion and the various versions running around?” asked another fan.
“There is a story to all the versions,” Mike Marts assured. “By this time next year you'll have a lot more clues as to what's happening.”
“Supergirl #21 and #22 touches on that,” Tony Bedard indicated.
quote:DiDio then indicated that all the Legion and other time-related mysterious in the DCU, including events surrounding Booster Gold, will all be explained in a “big Legion story” in the future.

Geoff did say he was doing a Legion:Rebirth type story. I wonder if the Action arc is it or just leads into it.

So when exactly are we going to have the answer?
I wondered the same thing. You'd think by SDCC next year everything would be set so we could celebrate the 50th. This makes it sounds like the 50th anniversary may only be the beginning.

quote: COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: LEGION OF SUPER HEROES
Phil Morris is pulling double duty in the DC Universe on television this fall.
In additional to returning as Martian Manhunter in The CW's Smallville, Morris is providing the voice of Imperiex, the big villain, for the second season of Kids' WB!'s Legion of Super Heroes. Morris has also been reported as the voice of King Faraday in the Justice League: New Frontier direct-to-video movie.
A promotional card given away at the Warner Bros. booth at Comic-Com International provided cast details for Season 2 of Legion of Super Heroes, as well as a first look at two versions of Superman fighting Imperiex.
Yuri Lowenthal is providing voices for both versions Superman, described as Superman and Kal-El. One is a closed version of the original from the 41st Century.
Kari Wahlgren is returning as Saturn Girl, and she is also voicing Duo Damsel instead of Triplicate Girl. Somthing happens to the character early in Season 2.
Alex Polinsky is providing the voice of Chameleon Boy.
Morris, Polinsky and Lowenthal are scheduled to attend The Batman/Legion panel on Friday at Comic-Con, where footage from Season 2 will be shown.

Can you say "Computo," boys and girls?
Interesting that there's no mention of Chuck. I guess we're not going to see more of his term as leader.

They're going to drag this thing out until the conclusion of Final Crisis, aren't they? Sounds like the answer isn't as pure and simple as "the Multiverse" after all.

Why would they do otherwise? It's the 50th anniversary I would hope they'd aim high. Hitting the target is another story but I'm looking forward to riding the bullet.

Not me. Wake me up when the train reaches its destination. And then only if we arrive somewhere scenic and fun.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize. DC's just jerking us around with all this continuity stuff, and it's distracting us.
What we want right now is not answers to continuity questions. We can wait for those; they're not important and can be resolved anytime, or not at all.
What we want right now, and in the near future, and in the far future, is good comic books.

The problem is jerking us around with continuity stuff is antithetical to good comic books, as far as I'm concerned.

It seems they are going to stretch many things out until Final Crisis. I've noticed little retcons here and there that I know won't be followed up on until then.
So no huge news at SD for the Legion I am guessing? Maybe some more info on the Action arc. Maybe they mention a mini with the LS Legion.
