LEGENDS OF TOMORROW REVEAL

So,

The CW and DC have been making good tv for the last couple of years, with Arrow and The Flash. With the success of these shows, Arrow having finished its third season, and The Flash just about to finish its first, the CW are making a new series, sort of combining the two.

LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

First off, it looks awesome, obviously, as it is comic related, and i am a sucker for comic-related anything (except x-men origins). the premise of it is that Oliver queen (the /green\ Arrow) does this speech saying how he started doing what he does alone and wanted to stay that way. then shit got weird. with the flash being introduced, it allowed for not only a shared universe, but super powers on each of them. With the ratings still being on a high, they obviously want to make another series, and so legends of tomorrow was born.

THE CHARACTERS

From the way the trailer presents itself, the team is shown to have help from the arrow and the flash, but the main team consists of the following:

• Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/The Atom: "A billionaire with more tech than he clearly knows what to do with it" The atom appears first in the arrow tv series, and has grown from there. a great character and a good counter to the arrows' way of doing things. also, the suit is awesome. 

• Caity Lotz as Sara Lance/White Canary: "A deceased assassin" Originally the first Black Canary, SPOILERS she gets killed in arrow season 3. they show her coming back, through the use of what is obviously the Lazarus pit. looking forward to see her again.

• Ciara Renée as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl: "a girl with wings and a past life complex" Hawkgirl on screen, not a lot more to ask for. I don't know a lot about her character, but i do know that she has been wanted in live action for a long time. i hope she has her mace

• Victor Garber as Martin Stein/Firestorm: "half a hero, with the other half combustible" firestorm is an interesting character in these and this show. its odd they haven't cast Robbie Amell, who is the other half of firestorm. I hope to see some bad ass-ery between him and heatwave, speaking of....

• Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory/Heatwave & Wentworth Miller as Leonard Snart/Captain Cold: "a pair of criminals" these two have great on screen chemistry, so i look forward to seeing them again. only problem is that they won't be on the flash.

• Arthur Darvill as Rip Hunter: time traveller that come back to assemble everyone to make them a team against the big bad, who is Vandal Savage, who will make an amazing villain, providing they cast him correctly

Apparently, this won't be debuting until January, in the mid-season break from Arrow and Flash. I might go on and do some posts about some of these characters, depending on how things go, but that won't be until closer to the time of airing.
