The Legion has many members so maybe a tv show is better for the Legion.

Absolutely Needed:
Superboy
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Possible Extras:
Sun Boy
Triplicate Girl
Brainiac 5
Phantom Girl
I'd ideally like to see a LoSH start during the Adventure Comics era of the team and have a similar tone though the actual plot can have a bit more weight to it. Elements like the Legion tryouts and rejections should definitely be included as well.

I think an(other) animated show would be ideal.
I dont think a live action would work. Such a huge draw of the Legion is the futuristic setting and visually creative characters like Bouncing Boy that I dont think could be pulled off on a tv budget.
A live action movie would be awesome though. The large number of cast isnt a problem because not all of them have to be main characters.
Legion can probably be done like a star trek tv show. The tv show can be called Legion Outpost assuming there are many legion outposts.

A legion tv show can also be done like an invaders from the future with the legion of super-villains, fatal five, taurus gang, devil's dozen, etc. already in the current time in disguise with secret identities. The Legion will also have secret identities in the current time.
The core

Lightining Lad
Saturn Girl
Cosmic Boy

Timber Wolf (cause he has the potential to be as cool as Wolverine)
Karate Kid (cause he has the potential to be as cool as Ryu from Street fighteres)
Braniac 5 (cause a green cyborg with super intelegence is kind a cool... he's like a green data from star trek and i heard that he and supergirl used to be a couple...wow who would build a robot capable of sex... lol... insane lol who builded him ? and when did a Braniac model turn out to be good for the first time ?, i don't know and these has big story potential if you ask me)
Ultra Boy (i just like him lol)
Starman (cause i like his beard lol... he was so cool in Geoff Johns JSA story, i think they should take away his medication more often cause the insane starman was incredibly fun to read and would be as much as fun to watch)
Marvel certainly doesn't embrace everything about their characters. They change a lot of stuff and they even mock their comics cod names with their tongue firmly in their cheeks. See their treatment of the name 'Star-Lord" just to give an example. Then there's the more recent example of the Purple Man ij "Jessica Jones". I suspect that if DC used the xact same approach they would be accused of not "embracing their characters".
