Last weekend at Comic-Con Internatonal in San Diego, story editor Rob Hoegee explained the process, which will be dealt with early in the show.
"The Legion of Super-Heroes are a relatively new organization and they get in a little over their heads with an organization that calls themselves the Fatal Five," Hoegee said.
"They decide they need some help in a big way, so Brainiac-5 decides, 'Hey, let's just go back in time and get the greatest super-hero ever.' Only they don't end up in Metropolis Justice League-era. They get there a little too soon and find Clark Kent, who is certainly aware of his power but now quite yet of his grand destiny.
"So, after convincing him, 'Pop in the time bubble and we'll bring you back in the past at the exact same moment you left,' he decides, 'Yeah, I think I will go. I think there's something else in this life for me and I want to find out about it.' And he goes to the future."
Hoegee said that the Legion teaches Clark how to use his powers and that Clark teaches the Legion how to be heroes.
"It's a nice little synergy between this up-and-coming hero, who's certainly going to leave his mark on the universe, and a group of ideological kids who essentially have looked up to this person all of their lives," he said.
Yuri Lowenthal, who provides the voice of Superman, said he enjoys that dynamic.
"The really interesting thing about playing this Superman is that he doesn't know his powers all that well," he said. "He doesn't know what he's supposed to do or was meant to do. They've taken him our of this place where he's still trying to figure out what it all means, whether he should hide it for the rest of his life or really do something important with it."
