THE LEGION ON SMALLVILLE

I don't watch SMALLVILLE, but apparently 3 members of the LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES showed up ; SATURN GIRL, LIGHTNING LAD and COSMIC BOY!

While I'm still dreaming of a kickass Legion movie with "accurate costumes", I must give props to the Smallville costuming peeps for incorporating elements of their comic counterparts' costumes into their live-action designs. Kickass DC writer GEOFF JOHNS wrote the Smallville episode, so no wonder!
SATURN GIRL, a blonde, has the saturn logo and has a look & feel similar to her old school costume.

LIGHTNING LAD, a redhead, has the yellow lighting bolds on his [blue] chest! (no mechanical arm, tho)

COSMIC BOY, a brunette (*coughshouldbeblackcough*), has the silver circles on his chest and some purple creeping out from under his jacket.

...and they all are wearing LEGION FLIGHT RINGS!!!!

Nice!
*Yes, I do own a Legion flight ring. And yes, its as awesome as you think!
