So, surprised I haven't seen anyone mention this but:

Last night's Supergirl (TV show, that is) both mentioned Durlans AND, for at least the 2nd time, went out of its way to focus in on the Legion flight ring in the fortress of solitude.

Between that and Mon-el being a regular (albeit a ridiculously wimpy version), my fingers are crossed that we'll see the Legion. Time-traveling Barry over in the Flash might help facilitate also.

Fingers crossed

This Saturn Girl will apparently have about as much relation to the one in the Legion that we know and love (or not) as Prince-Mon-El-of-Daxam-whose-father's-name-is-Lar-Gand has to the 31st century version.

This SG is telekinetic, rather than telepathic, and hails from 21st-century Titan.

On the plus side, one part of the DC cartoon universe is actually entertaining, with Justice League Action regularly featuring Space Cabbie.
(My thirty-six-year-old daughter and her kids love love JLA's Space Cabbie, although they are completely unfamiliar with the 50's comics.)

Are we sure this SG is telekinetic, rather than a mistake by the Variety writer? That was their word, rather than coming from a press release or creator statement.

I don't know that I would see their appearance as a bad sign for the comics. If anything, if they really are percolating plans, they might not mind a little brand synergy raising name recognition. I think we can find much better cause for concern in the mixed messages they'be been sending out.

I DO think it's a good sign there are no plans for the Legion in other TV or Film contexts, but is that surprising to any of us? Frankly, when I picture a Legion TV series, I see them making something along the lines of Smallville or Riverdale. So maybe we should count our blessings.

I would agree with Klar Ken T5477 that a "pseudo" Saturn Girl is actually bad news, EXCEPT for the fact that they have gone out of their way at least twice now to focus on the Legion Flight ring in Superman's Fortress of solitude.

And yeah, maybe (hopefully) the word telekinetic was a mis-statement but even if not, I will take it if it leads us to LSH.

So far, (that I've noticed in passing) they have established the existence of Durla, Colu, Starhaven, and of course Daxam. Just saying... smile

a Cargggan made an appearance for about half-a-second. (Triplicating, then being clobbered)

Are those all from Supergirl, or from various Arrowverse shows? If they're all focused on Supergirl, I'd say that's a VERY good sign. In that case, they're probably putting them all in one universe together for a reason, instead of sprinkling them through both universes.

Conversely, if it's both that might be a bad sign.

Jesse Rath will play Brainiac 5 in Supergirl season 3, starting in episode 10 titled "Legion of Super-Heroes." (Tonight is episode 5.)

It looks like we might have to wait until 2018 for episode 10. I've checked a couple of places and they both end with episode 9 on December 4th. Maybe midseason hiatus, maybe not. I am excited to see this, though.
So we're going to have at least Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5....who else is gonna show up? Let the speculation begin! smile

Well, I'm expecting it will be just some version of Saturn Girl, Brainiac 5, Cosmic Boy, and Lightning Lad. (because they showed up in Smallville, and viewers are familiar with them.)

And they will be eeeeevil, at least at first.

And Mon-El will be going back to the future with them.

If by some chance there is a sixth Legionnaire, it would be someone whose powers are easily (or already) represented on show: Timber Wolf, Laurel Gand, or Lightning Lass.

Definitely not anybody like Blok or Bouncing Boy or Chameleon Boy / Girl.

They already use shapeshifting (at least between human and martian forms) for John, so Chameleon Boy isn't totally out of the question.

It would be interesting for them to focus on people other than the standard 'founders + brainy,' and maybe have Imra joined by Tinya and Lu (somewhat more likely just because it's Supergirl, and they tend to have lots of female characters), as well as some lesser-seen (on TV/animation, anyway) early Legionnares like Lyle or Gim or Jo.

^^It would be super-cool if they did a tribute to Supergirl's three super-girlfriends!

^^ Just what I was thinking reading Set's post, EDE. A very timely look at equality as well as showing off just how cool the Legion has always been.

I don't know about Tenzil. What I have seen of Supergirl seems terribly earnest and serious. Even when they try to lighten up, the humor falls flat.

J'Onn J'Onzz: "The human mind reacts to music very much like other stimuli. Taste, smells. The song doesn't sound exactly the way you're used to hearing it. You enjoy it less, and are therefore less likely to get jiggy on the dance floor. I say DJ."

Oh, man, the Martian said 'jiggy'. I am Rolling On Floor Laughing. Ha. Ha.

I'm just glad Brainy seems to officially be green:

Hopefully Kara's nerdy love interest in the high school episode last night was setting up her interest in Querl. Putting her with these alpha male types just doesn't work. Its like writers feel a strong girl needs a 'strong' man. Never works.

I wonder how long they spent wondering about not making him green. That would have seemed odd. Mind you, reading Klar's post tells me that J'Onn was in it. Maybe they thought viewers would get confused with the green in that clueless TV Exec sort of way. I wonder if they'll introduce that Merboy-friend Supergirl had, in the same episode. Unless he's already appeared of course. smile

I suppose the real question is whether they'll make him cybernetic., Since they've already used Indigo/Brainiac 8, they might keep him consistent with her, rather than doing a whole "most Coluans aren't actually like that" thing.

J'onn is all CGI. Brainiac 5 will have to be prosthetic. The guy they cast played an alien on Defiance, all chalk white skin and white hair so that probably helped him get the part. How the green and blonde looks off the comic page is another thing. I've never been able to make an appealing real looking manip of it. The green skin is fine, like Gamora but the hair is tough.

TV line described Brainy has half computer. How that works out we'll see. It could be like Brainiac 5.1. Could be like the animated version. But even in the animated version, he became the organic Brainy we know at the end.

Next week, the Earth-TV "Mon-El" returns, no longer "allergic" to lead. Maybe he's taking Loratadine.

"Saturn Girl", a dark-haired, East Indian woman, shows up with him.

Amy Jackson is a white Liverpudlian. She has no Indian heritage, she just stars in Indian movies

Interesting. Maybe they will even put a blonde wig on her?

I've only been following this show for a few weeks, in anticipation of the Legion's appearance. It's rough going, but I believe I'll be watching Monday.

I wonder if the next Legion book will be a spin off of the show if it goes fairly well.
