No doubt Jon joins the Justice League post Bendis, but did everyone suddenly forget how time travel works?
Jon's most likely *not* with Jay in this story since he's wearing his Legion suit rather than his new Son of Kal-El suit.
What we're most likely looking at is the League teaming up with a Legion that is technically in Jon's past, thus Jon is still with them and an active member of the Legion.
I've really missed Bendis' Legion book, so it'll be nice to see the dynamics revisited with Jon in it. Though I assume when the show comes out we'll get more of Bendis' Legion with either him or someone else writing it and still very much free to use Jon as Superboy in it, so that'll be really nice.

We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.

I'm more interested in this then his potential Justice League appearance

I guess I can see Dick interacting with Jon, considering he was pretty close with Clark since his own childhood...
Thinking about it now, I'm getting some bad vibes with the setup.

Plus Dick and Wally are the only two who took over their mentors identities for their mentors. Dick was Batman, makes sense he’d have advice to offer on stepping into another’s role.

Its the age up that makes it bad for me. Under other circumstances, I would actually like this kind of interaction, with Dick being the OG kid hero, and taking up his mentor's role at times, Dick advising younger heroes like he has Damian and younger Titans is awesome. Plus, Dick was pretty close to Clark when he was Robin, and also got the idea to be Nightwing from Clark in the first place.
Okay so weird enough Jon is actually the Superman of the Justice League vs Legion of superheroes mini, his dad Clark is actually not in the book even though he’s on the cover. And no it’s not Bendis Legion era Jon but present day Jon in his current super suit.
I’m only calling it out because with Bendis’ run he has been ignoring the fact that Clark left the league and the planet, and it’s weird he chooses now to acknowledge it. I guess it makes sense he called Jon in because of the version of the Legion we have here.
Edit: let me clarify something, Jon is not a member of the Justice League in this. For story reasons Batman calls Jon to help.

A few years ago I would have loved a little team up story between Dick and Jon. Now though? Too little too late. Just the one Nightwing book I'll be skipping :|
I still think the best route for this Jon, instead of being Metropolis' Superman, would have either been Titans Academy or the Warworld/Authority stuff that Clark is doing right now. Either of those things would have been more interesting than what we have now.
