To be honest these little retcons in this and Secret Origin have convinced me this is a back door reboot when we were told it would be as close as possible to the 'pre-crisis' legion. Its not like they were fixing big gaping holes like Superboy/Supergirl its changing things for the sake of changing things. Its like we have to assume its all in continuity until we are told otherwise and that doesn't work for me because that is no continuity at all. As much as I love Brainy he wasn't meant to be in secret origin. He joined later, so what point did that change serve. What point did making Lyrl Brainiac 3 serve? The best analogy I can say is that Geoff Johns has done a Smallville on Legion continuity, the backbone is there but the detail is taking some odd turns. I would have preferred a big push on the threeboot compared to this.
