DC's Legends of Tomorrow

[Nerroth]

Since both Arrow and The Flash have their own separate threads, it seemed apt to set one up for the third CW show in this shared TV universe: DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

Are there many fans of the two elder shows who are looking forward to this new spinoff? And would you want all three series to be tied in some way to CBS' upcoming Supergirl show?

I actually would. I love crossover episodes, and the more characters, the merrier. That said, I think the amount of crossovers should be less than what The Flash and Arrow are doing currently, but more than Buffy and Angel or Hercules and Xena did in the past.

The first look at the main cast has been posted.

EDIT:

^So it was true that Sara becomes the White Canary. It does make sense since Laurel has taken the mantle of Black Canary.

They had me at Caity Lotz.
Finally a shrinking Atom too?
Sweeet.

Rip Hunter makes me wanna rip his head clean off, but... I can live with that.
I wonder if Caitlyn will defect the Flash mob to go join her fiancée in the Tomorrow People (Too soon? )...

Watching Ray and Snart in that trailer already makes me in love with this show.

Though I still wish they'd do something about Ray's suit design......

[Kafriel]

HYPE! Sarah, Atom and Firestorm are okay (seems to be mostly Stein?), Arrow/Flash are a must, Rip depends on his origin. I couldn't care less about Hawkgirl but Cold & Heatwave will...bring the heat.

HOLY HELL!!! That trailer was GLORIOUS!!! As in Avenger-level glorious!!!

[Wandering Soul]

HYPE! That trailer was awesome and I am really looking forward to that team.

Holy crud that was awesome! I can't wait till January .

Highlights:

- I liked the montage of Oliver and Barry recounting their beginnings as heroes, especially considering that Arrow and Flash pretty much ushered in the age of heroes in the DCTVU...Arrow in particular. Also glad to see that they'll have some involvement in this, since it wouldn't be right to not have two of this universes founding heroes be a part of its first real Superteam.

- Also glad to see Sara again, and get confirmation that we will actually see a complete Firestorm in this .

- British Rip Hunter seems like Constantine with time-travel .

- Brief glimpses of Hawkgirl's suit looks like it's still the classic green and yellow with wings. Can't wait to see the full-suit .

- Oh Professor Stein .

- At 2:10...is that Thawne !?

- Vandal Savage! Awesome! A fitting villain to cause the formation of a proto-Justice League. Seems like The Legends have to come together to stop a big plan that Savage and his army have been cooking up all throughout history and that's come to fruition in the present-day. I wonder when we'll hear about who'll be playing him?

- He shrinks! The Atom finally shrinks !!!

Also, might I add... They are actually succeeding in building a universe without the Holy Trinity (Bats, Wondy and Big Blue).
Which goes to show that any character (even Green OmyGod Arrow!) can be epic, inspiring and heroic, it just depends on its treatment.

Not hard to make Green Arrow awesome when you basically just make him a Batman who used to kill people, and give him Batman story-lines and villains.

[monster]

So Oliver took a short vacation and then joins this group time travelling without Felicity? Or is he and Barry only there at the beginning and will only be part-time members?

I couldn't help but notice the Tomorrow connection too. But will that guy appear here or just the Professor? And if not, will there be a new season of Tomorrow People or was that series cancelled already?

Aren't all superheroes derivatives of either Superman or Batman?

Superman is derive from John Carter and Batman from Zorro.

To be fair, since his inception Green Arrow has always borrowed a lot from Batman in terms of his mythos (until they redeveloped his character) so it's not like it's out of place to use him as a Batman stand-in just like Flash is the Superman equivalent .

Yep but unlike Avengers, it's gonna trip and smash its brains on the pavement on release.

[Ithekro]

So more Doctor Who actors? Interesting.

[kenjiharima]

I like it, but it's not Justice League. Also Capt.Cold a good guy? Hmm...

[Ithekro]

Good guy? Probably not. Useful against a greater evil, likely.
