In doing the bio for the JLU version of the Legion Of Superheroes, it got me thinking. Isn't Superman almost immortal? So, shouldn't he be alive during this time? As this ever been addressed in the comics?

This has two different answers, somewhat:
For the DCAU: Superman is gone in the Legion's time. Which is why in the Legion series and in the comics, they always recruited him from the past. I think it was pretty much obivious he wasn't in the 30th/31st century. I mean if the Legion was in trouble, and they needed Superman, do you think they wouldn't gone to his home if he was still around?
As for the comics universe, while I would say Infinite Crisis has probably left this up in the air, there is Superman from DC One Million where he was next to the sun for many, many centuries. But still, he does not appear in the Legion's time.
So to answer your question: he does not live in Legion's time. Superman can be immortal down the road, but as seen in Batman Beyond's "The Call", and in Kingdom Come, he can still age.
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.

Well, there's another possibility: he was killed in the line of duty (real killed, not Doomsday-event killed), but the exact how, when, and why got lost over time. Pretty much all continuities agree that he is vulnerable to magic, if you want a possible "how."

Ok.. IF DC One Million is Cannon.. then here is what happened to him:
In the 853rd century the original Superman still lives, but has spent over fifteen thousand years in a self-imposed exile in his Fortress of Solitude in the heart of our sun. The galaxy is protected by the Justice Legions, which trace their descent from the 20th-century Justice League and the 31st-century Legion of Super-Heroes, among others. Justice Legion Alpha, which protects the solar system, includes future analogues of Superman, Wonder Woman, Hourman, Starman, Aquaman, The Flash and Batman. Advanced terraforming processes made all our systems planets inhabitable, with the ones most distant from the Sun being warmed by Solaris, a "star computer" which was once a villain but was reprogrammed by one of Superman's descendants.
The original Superman announces that he will soon return to humanity, and to celebrate Justice Legion Alpha travels back in time to the late 20th century to meet Superman's original teammates in the JLA, and bring them and Superman to the future to participate in games and displays of power as part of the celebration.
