We mentioned that the listing for the Future State: Suicide Squad collection might reveal some secrets about what may be happening to Billy Batson in that world – and it's not good. But other listings may reveal other things. The Future State: Legion Of Super-Heroes solicitations read thus:

Future State: Legion Of Super-Heroes Will Have A Very Different Title — Future State: Legion Of Super-Heroes Will Have A Very *Different Title*

Future State: Legion Of Super-Heroes #1: Whatever happened to the Legion of Super-Heroes?

Ultra Boy tries to put the Legion back together to face the future head on! Find out the fates of all your favorite Legionnaires like Shadow Lass, Triplicate Girl, Brainiac Five, and Bouncing Boy.

Future State: Legion Of Super-Heroes #2: The unthinkable has happened: one of the Legionnaires has betrayed the entire galaxy! The United Planets is in ruins, the team has been scattered across the cosmos, and madness reigns on multiple worlds! Now the surviving Legionnaires are just discovering the real truth behind what has happened to their dream of a new age of heroes.

But the listings for Future State: Superman Paperback, published on the 29th of June, 2021, gives those comic books a new title, Future State: Legion 5000 #1-2. Suggesting that the books will be set two thousand years later than the usual Legion books. Any more yet-to-be-updated titles out there? I will be keeping an eye out for what they may contain.
