Since no one else has mentioned this... could Kal-L's punching through the barrier between universes be the "hammering on reality from the outside" from the Titans/Legion Special?

My reaction: Meh. (I'm rather enjoying the bickering between Supes, Batman and WW, though.) And just for the record, I don't want Superman, Superboy or Supergirl in the Legion. Mon-el and Andromeda most certainly. But the Super-people tend to steal all the spotlight. My two cents.

My reaction so far (since everyone else is doing it):
Guarded excitement.
I too, like the bickering, to a point. I like the fact that Clark and Bruce both realize that the other are not living up to expectations. But I do not like how they are shutting out Diana. Bruce I can understand but Clark it just doesn't feel right.
I like the view from the narrator's point of view. I just hope they explain why no one that was present at the birth of the multiverse (CoIE #11, IIRC) remembers like they are supposed to.
I was cursing the deaths as they happened. I see it as a necessary evil to explain the severity of things. Do I like it? No, but I hate seeing characters with so much promise being laid to rest. At least they did it so that some may be able to return.
I'm really excited about what's happening, but at the same time I am not about to base my love off of one issue. Too many times have crossovers had promise and were not able to deliver. Identity Crisis, I'm looking at you.

Maybe, or it was the force that's "rupturing the fabric of space-time" at the end of the Rann-Thanagar War. Or both are just different manifestations of the same Multiverse-related phenomenon.
Stratum, it seems to me the Multiverse is much more than a red herring given that Power Girl is in fact Earth-2 Supergirl (the cover of IC #2 leaves little doubt of this) and Donna Troy now remembers her other lives. It's now integral to the origins of at least two present-day DCU characters, and maybe others. I'm probably going overboard with the idea of Earth-Prime Superboy in the Legion, but dollars to donuts the Multiverse will somehow provide an explanation for the 3boot Legion, and the disappearance of the postboot one.

It's possible Trom. But I'm not quite ready to grasp on to the fact that she's the Earth-2 Supergirl just yet. At least not until the big reveal in JSAC.
As for the multiverse (as we know it), I honestly don't think they will revert back to it. I think that would create even more problems. I think that aspects of it will return to tease us into buying it and we may even end up with a new multiverse but I really doubt it will be the same one most of us know and love.

They don't have to revert to the old multiverse. They could have a multiverse and the current DCU. My pet theory is that some of the recent deaths (Shayera in particular) could be setting the stage for the return of classic pre-crisis versions of the characters.
Certainly Shayera and Katar from Thanagar of another reality is simpler to understand than whatever continuity post-crisis Shay and Katar had.

At the very least, "All Star Superman" seems to suggest that other realities will co-exist along with the mainstream DCU. And even if the Multiverse is not an active part of the post-IC DCU storytelling, Karen and Donna's new origins (and the return of our friends from the Paradise dimension) almost guarantee that it will no longer be a forgotten part.

Not only to I think [this] Superboy should be in the Legion, I have a strong feeling that he will be there.

Would this be the same Superboy who came from the Pocket Universe created by the Time Trapper - or just another version?
