Johns Teases Legion of Super-Heroes for Live-Action DC Show

[Nix Uotan]

Been saying to friends for a while but makes sense for Supergirl. Legion are Superman related and Kara had adventures with them. Could be some cool stuff if done right.

Isn't Reverse Flash coming back to "Flash?" He's from the future...

My money is on Supergirl, but it can easily be Legends too! Either way, I'll be happy.

Would prefer it to be on Supergirl, but Legends makes sense as well. Could certainly see the Legion as a link between both series.

The CW shows have enough DC toys to play with...let Supergirl have this one. And if Supergirl is established as an alternate earth that Flash can access, then it opens the door to a Jenni Ognats link between the two shows.

As much as I would love to see this on the CW during the summer so that we can finally have a year-long DC TV shows I can see NBC jumping on this so that Supergirl can guest-star from time to time.

It's not a spinoff. It's going to be in an existing show.

He is turning up in the first ep back, next week, I believe.

"The Flash" has also already shown us a Time Bubble...

I'd actually love to see a Legion that has a super-intelligent ape Grodd descendant. The Legion has dropped the ball never picking up on that. (as far as I know)

As far as I can remember, the Legion never interacted with Ape City, not even a mention. (Though technically, it could have been one of the dome cities that were rescued when the Earth exploded in the reboot timeline… Atlantis was explicitly mentioned.)

Jenni Ognats, mentioned above, is Barry's granddaughter in the rebooted Legion timeline, and a member of the Legion, so there is a tie there. (Yes, I know the reboot isn't the favorite among all legion fans, but they did have good points. And since the shows are already their own universe(s)…)

Didn't they show a Legion flight ring when Barry, Cisco, and Wells were crossing over to Earth 2?

The only thing I worry about with a live version of the Legion is them making it look cheap like they did with Smallville. Hopefully they do better this time.

Would prefer it to be on Supergirl, but Legends makes sense as well. Could certainly see the Legion as a link between both series.

I don't know, there is already so much damn stuff going on on Supergirl that we hardly see much of Supergirl herself anymore. I'd prefer it go to Legends because
there are already plenty of minor characters on that show.

That's nice and all but how about an actually LSH show? Sci-Fi + Superheroes...if done right, that could be a huge hit.

I can't think of any DC property more suited to the CW than the Legion.

A large ensemble cast of great looking 20 somethings that date each other and (at least in the Cockrum and Grell eras) don't wear many clothes.

In the Future.
