Interesting quote from the Countdown panel, (From Newsarama): Plans for the 50th Anniversary of the Legion of Super-Heroes?
"You will see the Legion of Super-Heroes, you will see the Legion of Super-Heroes, and you will see the Legion of Super-Heroes in the DC Universe #0"

Also from Newsarama - * Elaborating on DC Universe #0, DiDio said that the one-shot issue is more than just a bridge between Countdown to… and Final Crisis proper, but also lays the groundwork for Green Lantern: Blackest Night, the upcoming Wonder Woman story, and more. To do this, the various artists were brought on.
DiDio pointed out the Perez artwork in the cover to #0, adding that the characters pictured give a hint to what Perez will soon be working on.
"This is the launching pad for everything that is to come," DiDio said.

Looks like we'll have the "Legion of Three Worlds" by Geoff Johns & George Perez! My guess is it'll be one of the two mini-series that are scheduled to run alongside Final Crisis. If so, I can't wait!

I was there! I tried to get Tim Sale to paint me a legionnaire cause I won a sketch from Heros Initiative. Jeph Loeb even encouraged him to, but he didn't think he could do Matter-Eater Lad justice in the given time so I got a Hiro from Heroes instead.
Talked to Darwyn Cooke about how I wished Legion showed up at the end of New Frontier. He said he'd love to do something with them at some point.

From today's Lying In The Gutters : So, what of Brian Bendis’ comments on “Final Crisis" last week, "in 2012 when final crisis is done, we'll see what's what" interpreted by many as stating that the book is very late.
This seemed to be confirmed from a number of sources. But one had more details.
I’m told Grant Morrison turned in the issue one script back in November. However, it was not exactly what has been previously discussed and didn’t bounce off from the end of “Countdown" as intended. It also goes off on what can only be described as Morrisonian tangents. You know, what readers call “the good bits."
So Dan DiDio flew to Scotland after Thanksgiving to discuss possibilities further. I understand the script is unchanged, but it was from those discussions that the 50 cent “DC Universe" #0, shipping the week after Free Comic Book Day, emerged. Co-written with Geoff Johns, it will keep any "Countdown" continuity issues out of the “Final Crisis" series and prepare the way... very much the John The Baptist of comic books.
Geoff Johns is also writing a Final Crisis-spinoff "Legion" mini series drawn by George Perez that will slot into all of this very nicely.
Artist JG Jones is currently working on issue two. I've been told that if there are production delays, rather than throw in "Countdown"/"Infinite Crisis" style fill-in artists, or cause "Civil War" style sales-harming delays on the book, expect the pages by JG Jones to reduce for subsequent issues with back up stories with the DCU #0 artists Scriver, Pacheco and Daniel to replace them. Which means the book may extend a couple of issues to fit in all of Morrison’s story, the retailers get their fill, and everyone wins...
Apart from Brian Bendis.
