Bendis announced [[https://brianmichaelbendis.substack.com/p/legion-of-superheroes-tv-show-buh he was spearheading an animated adaptation]] of this particular run of the Legion for Creator/{{Max}}. No news about the show have come out since it's announcement.

* DemotedToExtra: Rose Forrest is essentially the main character of the ''Millennium'' two parter and she's treated as if she will be a crucial advisor to the Legionnaires. By the time of the ongoing series she's reduced to a background character with as little importance as most of the other Legionnaires.

And if ''that'' wasn't enough, Bendis also announced [[https://brianmichaelbendis.substack.com/p/legion-of-superheroes-tv-show-buh he was spearheading an animated adaptation]] of this particular run of the Legion for Creator/{{Max}}.

* OffModel: In the video of Dawnstar's recruitment her wings are made of feathers like they appeared in previous continuities, whereas her redesign gave her energy wings that disappear when she's not flying.

* HasTwoMommies: Garth and Ayla now have two mothers while every previous continuity showed them with a mom and dad.

* AbortedArc: Pretty much every storyline except for the Great Darkness ends without any answers. Aquaman's trident vanishes after being sought after for the first six issues of the ongoing, the reason for Damian Wayne being referred to as "Baby Hitler" and what the Legion was trying to do to prevent it aren't resolved, and nothing is explained about who really made Gold Lantern's ring.

This may sound like a pretty interesting enough premise, but it's all an aimless affair, really. Questions are brought up, but answers are nonexistent. And Jon doesn't really have much agency in the whole thing.

And once the series was canned after 12 issues, the Legion's two issue miniseries for ''ComicBook/DCFutureState'' was established as the new status quo for the actual Legion ongoing...

Except that wound up going nowhere.

Instead, after his Future State entries, Bendis would take on [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInfiniteFrontier the Justice League.]] After that, his take on the Legion would be the subject of a resurgence in ''Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes'', which sees both superhero teams joining forces when both realties are in peril at the same time because of a great darkness.

*** And then changed AGAIN when Future State showed them as Duo Damsel, with one dead and the other two making clear that they could fuse into one but don't due to grief, while also not splitting into any more duplicates.

* AdaptationalSexuality: ''DC Pride 2022'' featured Dawnstar being confirmed as bisexual after her Retroboot counterpart was implied to be bi in ''The Lightning Saga'', and Brainiac 5 was identified as demisexual after years of his various counterparts being attracted to women (Supergirl, Andromeda, Dream Girl) and men (Invisible Kid).

** When the Justice League meets the Legionnaires in ''Justice League Vs Legion of Super-Heroes'', Wally West doesn't recognize any of them nor does he know what the Legion of Super-Heroes is. This is despite that Wally's family has ties to the Legion through Don and Dawn Allen (the Tornado Twins), Barry Allen and Iris's West children from the future, and their children Bart Allen (Impulse) and Jenni Ognats (XS, who ''is'' a Legionnaire). Even if Bart and Jenni aren't connected to ''this'' Legion, Wally should still have some idea of what the Legion is and recognize the Legionnaires in at least some capacity.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Just about every issue has ''every'' Legionnaire in them.

Creator/BrianMichaelBendis's ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes is the latest ContinuityReboot for Creator/DCComics' 31st century based superhero team.

From the pages of ComicBook/SupermanBrianMichaelBendis, a new Legion of Super-Heroes seeks out the membership of Superman's very own son Jon Kent, due to his involvement in the establishment of [[TheFederation the United Planets]]. What follows is a series of events circulating around Aquaman's trident and the President of the United Planets being less than okay with super-powered teenagers just bending time and space without even a shred of conscious thought at the possible ramifications.

** Imra's parents on Titan appear to be somewhat emotionally abusive and it's implied she was banished from Titan's hivemind for wanting to join the Legion. [[spoiler:Future State made it worse by revealing they let her go so she can be a unwilling mole for the rest of the galaxy...]]

* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Ranzz Twins in this continuity fit this trope, where Ayla's a hot blooded revolutionary while Garth is the more subdued, levelheaded twin.

* ShowDontTell: Where do we even begin?

** Gold Lantern's backstory is supposedly amazing, but for the first nine issues nothing's been revealed of it, just that everyone tends to speak highly of him.

* TimeSkip: The ''Future State'' miniseries jumps ahead several years to show the United Planets has apparently fallen apart, the galaxy is something of a mess, the Legion's fractured, and [[spoiler:Element Lad is apparently a PresidentEvil and was responsible for a horrific event that ruined everything to begin with.]] [[spoiler:Even worse, the Titanians made everyone think Element Lad was responsible.]]
