Legends of Tomorrow - US Pace - Spoilers tagged
Confirmed to air in January, 2016, this will be the third CW show based within the CD Universe. The other shows; Gotham (on FOX) and Supergirl (coming to CBS) don't currently share that universe, though they're both worthy of mention.
Legends of Tomorrow is the third spinoff from Arrow, following the Flash as the first (very successful) spinoff. Unlike the other two shows though, this one is more about a team of heroes, rather than the origin of one (although I am aware Arrow and Flash have their own little teams, but they're very much originally about Ollie and Barry). The cast and characters: Victor Garber as Dr. Martin Stein / Firestorm (it should be noted here that Robbie Amell / Ronnie Raymond hasn't been mentioned as part of the show) Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer / Atom Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter Caity Lotz - it's unknown who she is playing, though I think another version of the Canary is a possibility. Writers are being tight-lipped on her role though, hopefully it'll be established on the Arrow/Flash final before this new show goes live, rather than have her just turn up Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory / Heat Wave Wentworth Miller as Leonard Snart / Captain Cold Ciara Renée as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl Franz Drameh as Jay Jackson I'm fully expecting Barry and Ollie to show up throughout the series too, in addition to other characters from the same universe. What I am most intrigued with though; Rip Hunter is from the future, and manages to travel back in time for reasons currently unknown. I don't know either from which future he is from (or rather, what year) but if he's traveling through time, would have some knowledge of Edobard Thawne? Whilst we wait for Janruary, lets all speculate. Best to Tag Comic Spoilers too, just in case people don't want to read them.

I think they are only having Stein because he is there to be the brains of the operation instead of being firestorm.
With Caity Lotz I think she will be pulled from the time between season 2 and 3, so it will be the same one we know, just from before she died. |

There's still a promo for Arrow that had her in, though she didn't appear in the episode that the promo was for. I'm still expecting her resurrection to (somehow) take place on Arrow, rather than her be rescued by a time traveler.

I'll give this is look. I hope they keep the show more light and fun, than dark and gritty (More Flash-y, less Arrow-y). Looking at the characters involved, I think they will.

I'll watch it, sure, even if the title does bring to mind a Disneyland attraction from the 60s. Still just worried than my tolerance for comic book stuff is about to hit saturation point, especially with crossovers creating a bit of a nightmare of trying to keep up and not end up spoiled.

I will be watching with interest, I just hope that having yet another show on the go doesn't lead to the creators taking their eyes off of Flash and Arrow. Too many irons in the fire and all that. Flash has had a strong debut season but Arrow's quality has already taken a nosedive this year.

Makes sense, though that'll mean that somehow, they're going to split Firestorm (or undo him entirely)? I suppose if Ronnie can be Firestorm without Stein, and then become an aid to Barry, it would allow for Flash to expand the heroes of it's show, though do we really want Flash becoming another team-up? Hmm...
You mean pulled from time? But we saw her die, and these shows are in the same universe, so if she was pulled, she wouldn't have died. There's still a promo for Arrow that had her in, though she didn't appear in the episode that the promo was for. I'm still expecting her resurrection to (somehow) take place on Arrow, rather than her be rescued by a time traveler. |

Yeah, I think Rip Hunter is going to be grabbing these people when they are alive and capable (young) enough to deal with the threat. So he will take her from her time and once he has finished with her she will be put back so she can then go on to die when she was meant to.
I'm not seeing the likelihood though, simply because if she's in a show where Atom, Arrow and Flash are going to show up, then the dynamic between the characters wouldn't work. Besides, if this LoT show goes on for 8-10 series, Sara's going to look older than she was when she died, and nobody seemed to notice a 10year age advance when she was lying on that table dead. ![]() She's going to be brought back somehow, assuming she was actually dead in the first place, and not merely drugged so that it appeared she was dead (the league and many of the characters are aware of such substances). |

She can probably be brought back with the Lazarus Pit, Oliver may have control of it by Season 4 of Arrow. I don't think she should have ever been buried, they should have told Nyssa straight after it happened and she would have revived her then but back then only comic fans knew of the probable existence of the Lazarus Pit. The problem with Arrow/The Flash is everyone is constantly keeping secrets to 'protect' people and nearly always making things worse.

Well if this turns out to be remotely true, that's going to suck for her.

Flash525 In your original post you said it's the third show in a CD Universe. What is a CD Universe?
Also The CW and CBS are both owned by the same company so it is possible that Supergirl could be set within the same universe as Arrow,Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow which means that crossovers could be a possibility! |

Yeah it does seem from DC press release that they confirm that obviously that Arrow,Flash and Legends Of Tomorrow are set within the same universe.However they didn't do that when Supergirl was announced
An interesting thing I read of the official synopsis of Legends Of Tomorrow is that it make it sound like Rip Hunter is the main character in the series that brings the other heroes and villains together to fight a bigger threat! |

In the promo for the Flash final, it is implied (heavily) that Barry saves his mom. If he does, then this creates the Flashpoint Paradox (I'm not entirely clued up on those events, though I know more damage is done as a result). Either way, this new show is suppose to air in January, and I'm wondering whether Rip Hunter travels back in time to correct what Barry has screwed up? if Barry saving his mom causes severe carnage in the future, then it stands to reason that someone from the future might try to stop him (though at the same time, it's possible that it is Edobard Thawne that traveled back in time to stop this very thing from happening in the first place).

So is this what the whole felicity signing last week on arrow was about? Ray is going off to do his own spinoff? Shame as I quite like him, he's a bit of lighthearted relief in arrow and rough plays him killer like.
Agee with theory above of hunter grabbing Sara from a point in time, probably sticks her back at same point, like The Doctor says in Dr Who "I can take you, travel all of time and space, have you back in time for the reception" |

Yea was just oming to post the trailer for it. I guess it answers and confirms what I just said in my post there.
and we see what happens with her too. I'm kinda gutted we didn't see that in Arrow though. I guess Malcolm does it to make amends with Oliver. Wonder how the others will take to that though...my guess is he won't tell them. Typical Oliver. |

There's still a promo for Arrow that had her in, though she didn't appear in the episode that the promo was for. I'm still expecting her resurrection to (somehow) take place on Arrow, rather than her be rescued by a time traveler.
