Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes Recent Legion-verse sightings in DCU proper

The latest episode of Young Justice has a pretty huge Legion info dump.

Apparently in the Young Justice timeline,
New Legionnaires shown briefly in flashback: Lightning Lad and Brainiac 5. Garth resembles the Bendis version, and Brainy doesn't have a nose.

How does he smell? Awful.

And the fact they're using Bendis's racist cardboard cutout version of Garth just immediately killed my interest and made the past several weeks even worse.

No Legionnaire appearances this Young Justice episode except for Phantom Girl's rag doll body, buuuuut...

I always like me some out-of-context Shakespeare.

Apparently Jim Lee's variant cover for Dark Crisis 1 has a lot of DCEU characters including TDK in the top left corner next to Starro.

This is the first time I've posted a link. Please let me know if I did it incorrectly.

Some more advancement in the latest episode of Young Justice, though not too much until the end as far as the Legion:

Thanks for the spoiler warning, Alexander!

It was good to see more Legionnaires in this ep, but it was also nice to see the plot move forward (finally).

While I love Young Justice's attention to minutiae and small character moments, it does tend to drag the plot out. This was the most fast paced episode in months.

The teaser image for the next batch of Young Justice episodes is out, and has the Legion trio on it. This is presumably the conclusion of their storyline since its the end of the season.

Two new appearances. First in the suicide squad dark story in round robin 2 (I’m pretty sure it’s digital only) Matter Eater Lad appears. And some dominator tech appears in the Supeboy story.

Second in the free comic book day Dao Crisis 0 there is a panel set during crisis where Dawnstar’s wings are visible.

thanks for sharing wow, Matter-Eater Lad!!

This is probably mindless speculation on my part since I have a tendency to see the Legion of Superheroes everywhere I look, and this also might not be the best thread for speculation so mods can move this to a new thread if they want, but:

To quote Geoff Johns from the article, about Flashpoint Beyond:


What member of the Justice Society is from the future? All I can think of is Thom Kallor, who was on the team as Starman during Johns' legendary run with the JSA franchise. Am I forgetting some other future-based member?

A bit of a tangent here:
We already know the story of Flashpoint Beyond will affect the Legion in some capacity (even if only a little, or even just as set-up for future stories) since the Legion was included on the chalkboard tease. I know Geoff Johns' work isn't popular with everyone here, but whatever your personal opinion of his creative output is, his affection for the original Legion has always been genuine and obvious so it would likely center on them. What is also obvious, at least to me, is that the original plan for Doomsday Clock was to bring the first (or retroboot) Legion back during the climax. I'll remind you there was a whole year of Saturn Girl teases in other DC books like Batman (Imra is in Arkham), Supergirl (Imra's appearance in Orlando's Supergirl was clearly scrapped at the last minute), and the Justice League VS Suicide Squad (the Emerald Empress babbling on about her). Johns was clearly forced to make it the Bendisboot Legion (and to tease 5G) when he was already mostly through with Doomsday Clock, which is why the Bendisboot Legion's appearance at the end of the last issue made no sense whatsoever from a narrative point-of-view given the build up of the previous issues.

It sounds like Flashpoint Beyond's connections to Doomsday Clock might be Geoff Johns' attempt at correcting that last bit? Like he originally wanted to do? Its not like the Bendisboot has been well received by critics, or readers, or fans of coherence. His time at DC is clearly over once his current Naomi and Justice League VS Legion runs end. If Flashpoint Beyond leads to the original/retroboot Legion I would be ecstatic.

"I'mma go Mouthful Mode" should be Tenzil's new catchphrase whenever he leaps into battle.

Its only on DC Infinite, if anyone is wondering what Tenzil looks like with his jaw cartoonishly unhinged, snake-like, as he consumes Swamp Thing's arm fist-first before getting his skin yanked off with a gentle tug.

or Tenzil could co-opt the Threeboot battle cry "Eat it, Grandpa!"

except drop the "it"...

Only Phantom Girl in the latest Young Justice episode, but a fairly decent amount of dialogue from her. As far as lore goes, PG explains that Bgztl and Mars (or their dimensions) are linked by the Phantom Zone.

Is this the first time we've heard "Bgtzl" spoken aloud?

that alone is worth the price of admission!

Another episode of Young Justice and the Legion trio continue to romp about, but only Phantom Girl was prominent in this one. We do get to see Bgztl in the 21st century after Tinya phases to it with Miss Martian, but only briefly. Its a blasted wasteland with lightning storms, but Phantom Girl claims in the 31st century it is a giant city. Tinya also exclaims some kind of phrase with the word Bgztl in it but I didn't catch what she said since it was in her strange, vowel-averse language.

Action Comics #1043 gives another view of the 21st Century Durlan United Planets President who is shown with similar appearance to President Brande in the most recent Legion series.
Not a direct Legion link but interesting. Of course being Durlan they could use any shape they wanted.

So, the latest episode of Young Justice, huge spoiler:


I think there is only one episode left.

Yeah, to be honest, I'm not all that happy with this season. A lot of stuff that went nowhere dragged out way too long and now we have to wrap it up in an episode.

This whole season has been like a Bendis comic.

At this point I'm back to watching the show just for Will and Lian Harper

Okay I don't care if t's gauche to say it but you need to read the DC Pride book so I can tell you all what I did
