We now have assurances from Bendis that Legion of Superheroes: Millennium, and Bendis' work in general, is aiming at aligning with Doomsday Clock: Doomsday Clock/Legion of Superheroes relaunch connection.

It also appears that DC#11 (August?) will feature the reinstatement of the Legion of Superheroes and the Justice Society, just before they start making their appearances in September.

IIRC, Earth-Watchman in Doomsday Clock is said to be outside the DC Multi-multiverse, despite containing characters that are pastiches of The New 52's Earth-4 (and now possibly other DC Multi-multiversial Earths.)
So, I get that Doctor Manhattan is an extremely powerful, transcendent super-character anomaly operating across the DC Multi-multiverse and "discovers" how the DC Metaverse works in relation to Superman being its linchpin on Earth-0/Prime Earth... But, something I'm curious about is if the other travelers from Earth-Watchman have any effect as anomalies on Earth-0? We haven't seen the crew, and especially Marionette and Mime for a bit, and I'm hoping they somehow fit elegantly into the theme at play here and not just as reminders of Doctor Manhattan's one-time ability to reflect on humanity, show kindness, and take "action."
Also, as an overtime question/discussion... Does this mean that Watchman-Earth has its own Metaverse and Multi-multiverse too? How about Marvel?
It'd be ballsy for DC to reveal that everything in what I'd call the Maxiverse (all other Metaverses and Multi-multiverses) is predicated by DC's Metaverse/Prime Earth and the history of National Allied Publications eventually dawning the age of the modern superhero in the United States.
Also; I have so many orrery of worlds swirling about in my brain.
There's an Omniverse beyond the Multiverse that Morrison mapped out. And there are other Multiverses in the Omniverse. I don't know if “Earth-Watchmen” is part of another Multiverse; but “Earth-Wild Storm” almost certainly is: its predecessor, the Wildstorm Universe prior to its incorporation into the DC Multiverse, had a Multiverse of its own. (On the other hand, given how changes to the Metaverse reverberate through the Multiverse, it's possible that the Rebirth changes have caused Earth 50 to be reborn as the Wild Storm universe; we won't know for certain unless and until someone visits Earth 50.)
The way I see it, several worlds in the Multiverse serve as “contact points” for worlds outside the Multiverse: Earth 4 is a “contact point” for the Watchmen universe; Earth 7 and 8 serve as “contact points” for the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Marvel Universe; there are others that serve as “contact points” for various Image Comics universes; Tower Comics' Agents of Thunder have a “contact point” in the Agents of Wonder Earth. And so on.

Based on reactions of characters, I feel secure assuming Watchmen was not a comic book in the current DC Universe.
More to the plot, it's good we're seeing threads come together. With less than two issues to go, we still need to see the results of Johnny Thunder and the Lantern, Saturn irl and Rorschach, and Superman vs. Dr. Manhattan. Not to mention the outcome of the worldwide troubles.
Bleeding Cool needs to get over itself and stop referring to this book as the "unauthorized" sequel. DC owns the characters, it's as authorized as it can get.
It comes out tomorrow, I'm very excited. I'm going to reread the entire first 10 issues because the gap between issues has really messed up my memory.
