‘Arrow’/’Flash’ Spinoff ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ Ordered to Series; Official Synopsis Revealed

Arrow and The Flash season finales are right around the corner – and whether you’ve loved every minute of them this season or not, the two DC Comics shows have been massive hits for The CW. That’s why it came as no surprise the network was interested in securing yet another superhero show from producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg – the power trio behind Oliver Queen and Barry Allen’s small-screen adventures.

From the first we heard of it, the Arrow/Flash spinoff was planned as a team-up show featuring a variety of heroes and villains, including The Atom, Captain Cold, Heatwave and more. Then it was revealed that renowned time traveler Rip Hunter (played by Doctor Who‘s Arthur Darvill) would also be joining the show. With that news it became clear the spinoff would be more than just a team-up of The CW’s current heroes and villains, but a show with characters from across the time stream.

Earlier this month we had heard the Arrow/Flash spinoff would be ordered directly to series and The CW confirmed that today, along with unveiling the spinoff’s official title and synopsis. The series is called Legends of Tomorrow and will indeed involve Rip Hunter traveling through time to assemble a team of heroes and villains from across The CW/DC universe.

Read the full synopsis for Legends of Tomorrow below:

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”).

Now with an official synopsis we can begin to see how all these characters will fit together. The time travel element obviously clears up a lot of the confusion that came from the spinoff’s initial casting; namely, how a now-deceased Sara Lance will reprise her role as Black Canary. Having Hunter hop through time also explains how newcomers like Ciara Renée’s Hawkgirl could enter the series as already established heroes.

What this news doesn’t answer, however, is the identity of Franz Drameh’s role. Potentially, he could be playing a brand new character created just for the series, but we theorized back when he was cast that Drameh could actually be Wally West a.k.a. the second Flash. The involvement of time travel only makes this all the more likely since Wally has yet to be established on The Flash – and if he’s from the future, then he won’t need to be.

What do you make of Legends of Tomorrow now that we know more? Are you excited to see such an eclectic team of heroes and villains working together? Who do you think Franz Drameh could be playing if he’s not actually Wally West? Sound off in the comments below!

Legends of Tomorrow is expected to premiere on The CW in early 2016.

Trailer doesn't seem bad (a LOT better than Supergirl), but I feel like Vandal Savage and his plot is something the Flash and Arrow should be taking care of.

So Rory is a "time master" and Sara Lance is back from the dead? Interesting

They're putting even more money into these shows. With these resources I wish they'd get someone other than the Smallville crew to head these. Missing the opportunity to make something really cool. I like bad and camp but not when all the DC shows are like that.

You may technically get half of that want/wish.

Though Barry Allen is clearly shown fighting with the team in the trailer...Greg Berlanti has said he hopes/plans to either debut either Wally West or Bart Allen in season 2 of The Flash.

Rumors are is that character either being Wally West as Kid Flash or Bart Allen as Impluse will be joining The Legends squad after his stint on The Flash.

There needs to be a moment where this happens:
"I got one question, Time master guy . . . .. WHERE THE F*** WERE YOU WHEN EOBARD THAWNE CAME BACK IN TIME AN FRICKING KILLED MY MOTHER?????" - Barry Allen

Interesting little tidbit someone noticed from a scene (starts at 2:07) in the promo...it looks like Eobard will be popping up in this show as well:

Also here is a behind the scenes video for the show:

Maybe...it does appear though that he is in Rip Hunter's time sphere. It was also pointed out that Eobard also appears to show up in the background at 1:16 as well.

There was some comment that Barry made on Flash this past Tuesday (or a prior episode) mentioning that Ferris Air was shut down because one of its test pilots went missing. That's probably Hal Jordan, so I don't think Diggle is going to be the John Stewart / GL in this story.

The 1:16 footage looks like it was just taken from this promo and not from footage of the show itself:
