RESSURECTION!

So, we now have a named for the next "season" (it seems to function like Naomi where the book comes and goes based on arcs): "The Gold Lantern Saga". It was a major plot point that Bendis deliberately left open at the very end of the book.
But the more potentially hype news is Bendis putting in the hashtag "I'd totally watch that show". This isn't even the first time Bendis has linked Legion to a potential screen adaptation. Granted, this could just be him flexin' along with some wishful thinking. But, Bendis' batting average on adaptations is, what, like 95%? Outside of like Lee and Kirby he's maybe the most adapted comic book writer around. Millar maybe comes close. The man's responsible for the two most popular on-screen takes of Spider-Man to date. And in what has to be the fastest comic to screen move I've ever seen, Naomi is getting a full TV show.
I find it hard to bet against him when it comes to this specific talent.
And to be honest, the Legion is the one other major team property DC still needs to put on screen (and likely wants to). Titans, the JSA, and the JLA are all seeing the light of day in some from, and with HBO MAX allowing for what seems to be more freedom with these shows (the Val-Zod show), I could totally see us getting Bendis' Legion on there. And, yeah, it would totally be Bendis' take. In today's social climate, Bendis' particularly diverse take on Legion would more than likely beat out the classic take.
Does that then mean there could be two TV Jon Kents (if this goes to Max). Or does this somehow make it to CW alongside Naomi and S&L, and my long standing theory/wish of Jon leaving S&L comes true?
