We shall have to keep our eyes glued to every DC TV show for the planned vague reference to our favorite team!

Does this mean I have to watch "Gotham" now?

(I'd laugh if it was Lucifer or Preacher)

Even this stunt is not enough to get me to watch any of the DC live action shows.


Read LEGIONS OF 7 WORLDS in the Bits forum:

Retroboot (Earth-7.5) Arc 1 (COMPLETED)

Retroboot (Earth-7.5) Arc 2 (WORK IN PROGRESS)

Bah! It's folks like you guys who won't carefully watch each DC show frame by frame hoping for the slightest indication that there might be something Legion-related that make DC think that there isn't a market for the team! wink

There aren't all that many.

My best guess would be the CW's "Legends of Tomorrow", a show themed around time travel. So, a nod to the Legion is a no-brainer here.

Less likely, but still possible, would be CBS's "Supergirl". Having Kara meet the guy that she'll eventually fall in love with and move to the 30th century to be with would make for an interesting moment, even if she only learns of this as a passing reference. More of a "say what?" moment for Kara. Brainiac-who?

Less likely would be "Arrow", which is grounded in the here and now, or "Flash", which seems to be fine with exploring other worlds of the multiverse.

Least likely? "Gotham", of course. Watch the show, you'll figure it out.

How hilarious would it be if the reference shows up on Gotham, though?

They showed a Legion flight ring on The Flash tonight. That was probably the tantalizing hint.

Jeepers! We really did have to pretty much go frame by frame to catch it! Here's a photo stolen from one of the news sites:

the Flight ring was on Supergirl tonight!!!! (02/29/2016).

and not just a "need a freeze frame to see it" appearance, when she was in the fortress of solitude, they zoomed in on it (in a display case) and showed it for like 2 seconds so that you couldn't miss it!

also, "Indigo" mentioned Colu (I think "the Coluan collective") and was called Braniac 8 (the number there perplexes me, but still, it's a Brainiac/Colu reference.)

anyway, I don't think there's any way they focus on the ring that much unless they intend to do something with it!

could be related to Flash, as we know they'll be crossing over (she was shown I think in the same sequence as the above mentioned flight ring.)

Brainiac 8 was Indigo's designation in the comics too. She's was from the future and arrived in the past badly damaged, took the name Indigo and infiltrated the Outsiders.
