DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Arrow/Flash Spin-off Show

Hawkingbird · May 8, 2015, 2:35am

As widely expected, The CW has officially picked up the spinoff of its hits “Arrow” and “The Flash,” and revealed its title: “Legends of Tomorrow.”

Here’s the official plot synopsis of the latest DC Comics-based TV series, with a full title of “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”:

DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW
When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat - one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?

DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW stars Victor Garber (“The Flash,” “Alias”); Brandon Routh (“Arrow,” “Superman Returns”); Arthur Darvill (“Doctor Who”); Caity Lotz (“Arrow”); Ciarra Renee (“Pippin”); Franz Drameh (“Edge of Tomorrow”); with Dominic Purcell (“The Flash,” “Prison Break”); and Wentworth Miller (“The Flash,” “Prison Break”). Based on the characters from DC Comics, DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” upcoming “Pan”), Marc Guggenheim (“Eli Stone,” “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”), Andrew Kreisberg (“The Flash,” “Eli Stone,” “Warehouse 13”) and Sarah Schechter (“The Flash,” upcoming “Pan”).

It’s not yet known when the show will premiere – early reporting cited it as likely debuting midseason. As pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter, “Legends of Tomorrow” was picked up “sight unseen,” as a pilot has not been produced. A trailer, specifically produced for The CW’s upfront presentation, is expected to debut next week.

This makes for four DC-based shows on The CW’s 2015-2016 lineup, with “Arrow,” “The Flash” and “Legends of Tomorrow” joining “iZombie,” announced Wednesday as renewed for a second season. Deadline reported earlier today that “Lucifer” – like “iZombie,” based on a comic that was part of DC’s mature readers imprint, Vertigo – is likely for a series order at Fox, and “Gotham” has already been renewed for its second season, also on Fox. “Supergirl,” which also has Berlanti, Kreisberg and Schechter as executive producers, is a go for the coming season on CBS. The fate of NBC’s “Constantine,” which wrapped its first season earlier this year, is not yet clear.

We got the name and premise. This show needs Booster Gold if they gonna bring in Rip Hunter and have heavy time travel.

quantum leap for superheroes.

i gaurentee you this show is gonna look like a mess initially just by doin non-continuity fuckery.

maxx · May 14, 2015, 9:35pm

actually they shoulda had them fixing the timeline caused by reverse flash. like are they just gonna ignore that fact?

Magegg · May 14, 2015, 11:09pm

Looks good

Pity those DC bastards had to restrict these guys so they cant use Batman/Superman etc. Its a shame, as generally DC generally always shits on Marvel when it comes to TV stuff.

They could have built the DC TV universe as an alternative to a movie universe or even a complement to it. But then thats DC right? They dont really know how to really utilise their own properties. Would REALLY have liked to see Bruce on Arrow and I fear actually they might need something of that level to save Arrow at the moment as its starting to decline.

I was on the fence until they said “Vandal Savage”.

This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:

That pretty much means I have to give it a shot.

Gimpy · May 15, 2015, 10:43pm

I was going to give the show a shot regardless but hearing Vandal’s name too has peaked my curiousity.

maxx · May 15, 2015, 11:29pm

i think we were all gonna give this clusterfuck a shot. i mean they got my bae in it…then add on top vandal savage…i do need to see what he looks like.

GreyFoxx · May 16, 2015, 7:13am

As long as Vandal does a bad ass speech…ahh hell they probably fuck up his scar anyway. Still all in for it!

J-ride · May 16, 2015, 10:26am

I hope Vandal rocks a glorious pimp suit. He kept his hoes in line, across history. You know you are a pimp when you rock a cape and can’t fly.

Why did they only showed half of Firestorm?

Magegg · May 19, 2015, 2:48am

Because the other half is not going to be part of the team.

Hawkingbird · May 19, 2015, 10:27pm

Grant Gustin says Cold and Heatwave will appear on all three shows

FOBio · May 20, 2015, 5:35am

So…can he become Firestorm without his other half?
