Cover of Legion of Super-Heroes
in the 31st Century #20 (2008)
There is evidence to suggest that the Legion in this series may exist on Earth-12. In issue #17, the 31st century Warhawks are introduced. This is a concept which springboards from the character, Warhawk, who was introduced in the Batman Beyond series (both on television and in comics). Warhawk was the child of John Stewart (Green Lantern) and Shayera Hol (Hawkgirl). This links Batman Beyond continuity to that of Justice League Unlimited. Warhawk and Batman "Beyond" (Terry McGinniss) appeared twice in the JLU series: season one's "The Once and Future Thing" and season two's "Epilogue."
Further, the Legion also appeared in the JLU episode "Far from Home" (season three). In it, Supergirl meets—and remains with—the Legion in the future. Nothing in this episode eliminates the possibility that it could be the same timeline. The JLU episode would have to lie in the animated Legion's future. The Legion in "Far from Home" are a bit older and it features a couple Legionnaires never introduced during the Legion cartoon: Wildfire and Shadow Lass.
Batman Beyond is not, however, in the same continuity as all other DC animated series. Terry McGinness' Earth was given the official designation as Earth-12 during the Countdown: Arena series and in Countdown #21.
OK, so that said, animated series creator, James Tucker, totally contradicted me by saying: "The Legion series was never tied to the Justice League Unlimited episode. Supergirl was never, ever going to be in the Legion." Tucker never worked on the comic book, though, and with the appearance of the Warhawks, I see no reason that the animated Legion could not be from the same continuity.
+ Assumptions
This chronology includes events from both the cartoon and the comic book. The comic series is meant to dovetail with the television show.
It is ordered by production number. Several episodes were aired out of order.

Torres mentioned wanted to introduce the LSV, "Most importantly, we wanted to show where Brainy went after the end of season two and how he made his way back to the Legion... While we were waiting to hear the fate of the show, we basically just 'skipped ahead' and started writing stories as if we were in a third season."James Tucker mentioned some potential introductions for the Season 3 cartoon: Wildfire, Dawnstar, Ferro Lad's brother, and a spotlight on Blok. |
|
| Flight Ring, Part 1: Brainiac 5 returns and is elected Legion leader. Brainiac 5 heeds Dream Girl's warning when on a mission against the Thanagarian Warhawks (led by Talon Redbeard). NOTE: Superman participates. The following issue states that Brainy has returned from his resignation. This issue is the first to suggest a connection between this continuity and that of Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited. See the introduction for more on this matter. | LSH in the 31st Century #17 (10.08) |
| Flight Ring, Part 2: Legionnaires are angered to learn that Brainiac 5 can override their flight rings. The White Witch (who has joined previously) and Nemesis Kid are crucial in defeating Mordru. White Witch theorizes that Nemesis Kid's powers are magically derived. NOTE: 1st apps. of Chameleon Boy, Karate Kid, Nemesis Kid and White Witch in the comic.

| Flight Ring, Part 3: Brainiac 5 allows the glory-hound hero Booster Gold to "steal" powerful weapons, because 31st century history paints Booster as an historic hero.

This Booster is a native of the 31st century. | LSH in the 31st Century #19 (12.08) |
| Tharok steals Brainiac 5's sample of kryptonite. He uses it to transform himself into Metallo. While traveling between space, Brainy glimpses visions of alternate Supermen and Legions. After they defeat Tharok, a Legion from a parallel universe views this Legion on a screen just before they prepare to visit Superman for the first time. NOTES: Final issue. Brainy sees images of Superman's first appearance, Superboy Prime, Superman X, Mon-El, and Superboy's first meeting with the Legion. In the end, it appears to be the Legion of Earth-0, whose Brainiac 5 was watching events on the "animated Legion's" Earth. The Earth-0 Brainy then went out to meet the three founders, who are prepared to visit Superman for the first time in the 20th century. | LSH in the 31st Century #20 (1.09) |
| Beyond | |
| Shadow Lass joins | * |
| Wildfire joins | * |
| "Far from Home" When most of the Legion is captured by the Fatal Five, the remaining Legionnaires, Brainiac 5 and Bouncing Boy, send a time bubble back in time to retrieve members of the Justice League—Supergirl, Green Arrow and Green Lantern. Supergirl is smitten by Brainiac 5 and at the conclusion of the mission, elects to remain in the 31st century. NOTES: This episode suggests that Superman might be panicked to learn that Kara had remained with a descnedant of Brainiac. That would mean he'd never met Brainiac 5. Wildfire and Shadow Lass are the only members not seen before in the Legion cartoon. | Justice League Unlimited 3.10 (15 April 2006) |
