Superman/Clark Kent - After the fight with the Joining, Superman was flying around musing about how he missed his friends from the future, though happy with his friends in the present, unaware he was being watched by Brainiac. Superman was brought to the 31st century again when the Joining began attacking. Superman always greeted Nightwing, noting his interesting family history. Superman then confronts new Super Droids with the Legion. Superman defeats his droid by punching it through the chest, so that it short circuits. After all the droids were defeated, Superman decided to make good use out of them by rebuilding them as guardians of the Fortress of Solitude. Superman then welcomed Kell back to the team when he returned due to a lack of need for heroes in the new 41st century. Superman then reveals that he's going to hang out with his old friends for a little bit.

He's then greeted by several other members including a returned Superman and the newest member, Nightwing.

Kell then went with the team and fought several of Dr. Londo's monsters until they arrived at his lab with a now teenaged Ayla. He was also surprised when Dr. Londo disappeared shortly after Ayla was freed.

He was active for a year before following his nemesis, the Jester, to New Metropolis where he met Legionaries, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and Chameleon Boy.

Nightwing then called Saturn Girl's kick that stopped Jester nice. Nightwing then explained himself to the Legion, at first resisting joining the Legion until Lightning Lad pointed out that they'd be able to help each other protect each of their homes. Nightwing eventually agreed and became a member of the Legion, including taking the Oath. Nightwing then took the Legionaries to the rebuilt Wayne Manor and showed them the Batcave, having gotten it from New Gotham PD in exchange for the recommission of the Bat-Signal. As a sign of good faith, Nightwing shared a flash drive with the Legion that held all the information from before the Great Crisis, made by Batman.

Nightwing then asked Computo for the location of the closest LangCorp building was. Nightwing then hopped down on Alexis, promising to liven up the room. Nightwing then went to release Brainy before Alexis trapped him in red sunlight energy. Relying on his Tamaranian DNA, Nightwing destroyed the laser with a Star Bolt. After Brainy was freed and Alexis disappeared, Nightwing knew something was up. When an odd energy signature attacks, Nightwing instantly recognizes it as the Joining. Nightwing then states that they'll need help when Brainy leaves and comes back with Superman.

After Nightwing turned down a chance to join the Legion, Lightning Lad convinced him by talking about how he could help people. When Lightning Lad learned of Nightwing's lineage, he called it cool.
