Part 1 : In 2166, the immortal warrior Vandal Savage has conquered the entire planet. In an effort to save humanity, Time Master Rip Hunter travels back to 2016 to assemble a group of superheroes and supervillains to stop Savage's rise to power: Ray Palmer, Sara Lance, Jefferson Jackson and Martin Stein, Mick Rory, Leonard Snart, Carter Hall, and Kendra Saunders. Hunter takes them to 1975 to talk to Aldus Boardman, a leading expert on Savage. While providing information on Savage, Boardman also reveals that he is the son of Kendra and Carter from one of their past reincarnations. Meanwhile, a time-traveling bounty hunter named Chronos attacks Hunter's ship, the Waverider. The team is able to regroup and escape, but not before Boardman is mortally wounded. The attack forces Hunter to reveal that Chronos is after him for stealing the Waverider and going on the mission against the Time Council's wishes and that part of his quest is based on his desire for revenge on Savage for murdering his wife and son in 2166. All members agree to aid Hunter, who warns that time will resist against the mission. In Norway 1975, Savage is shown in possession of weapons of mass destruction.
Part 2 : Still in 1975, the team infiltrates a weapons auction, where Savage intends to sell the nuclear warhead. Savage becomes aware of their presence. They all escape, but not before a piece of Ray's suit is left behind. Angry at the recklessness, Hunter points out what happens and how the technology of Ray's suit will be used to create super weapons that lead to the destruction of Central City in 2016. The team splits up, with Stein, Jax, and Sara retrieving the missing piece of Ray's suit by the help of Stein's younger self while Ray, Leonard, and Mick go in search of the dagger that killed Kendra and Carter in their first life. The dagger turns out to be in the home of Savage, who imprisons them and calls the rest of the team. Kendra and Carter go after Savage while the rest take on Savage's men. During the fight, Savage kills Carter with the dagger, revealing that only Kendra can wield it to kill him. She becomes injured, and the team is forced to retreat and plan a new strategy, determined to stop Savage.

While still in 1975, Kendra's injury stops the team from traveling through time, and Sara convinces Rip that another way to stop Savage would be to take away his financial resources. Rip locates the bank where Savage keeps his money and he and Sara go there to steal the funds. They learn that Savage is using Carter's blood to give his own men longer lives. Rip and his team engage Savage and reclaim Carter's body, but Rip inadvertently gives Savage the names of his family members before critically wounding him. Meanwhile, Kendra's condition worsens, requiring Ray to shrink down and enter her bloodstream to save her. Snart attempts to change his own family's fate, but his efforts ultimately change nothing. It is revealed that Rip once traveled to ancient Egypt 4000 years ago to kill Savage, but hesitated and has been known as a nemesis called Gareeb. The team buries Carter and Rip charts a course for 1986, so that the team can intercept Savage again.

With help from the team, Rip survives, but Chronos and Druce escape. Stein infiltrates a research lab and discovers Savage is trying to build an army with the same abilities as Firestorm.

Meanwhile, Ray finds his suit's technology has been used to create autonomous policing robots that Savage will use to help conquer the world and that the family line of his brother, Sydney, founded the company that created them.

Kendra leaves a message for the team alerting them to Savage's presence in France, 1944; but they are unable to stop him and only manage to rescue Scythian. Savage reveals that the Thanagarians sent three meteors to ancient Egypt; and he plans to use Kendra's and Scythian's blood to activate the meteors' alien technology and erase time back to 1700 BC, where he can rule. Stein deduces Savage's method, also concluding that radiation from all three meteors will render Savage mortal, so anyone can kill him. The team breaks up into pairs, traveling to 1958, 1975, and 2021. All three groups capture Savage and then kill him. Ray and Firestorm destroy two of the meteors, and Rip uses the Waverider to send the last meteor into the Sun before it can explode and destroy the Earth. Kendra and Scythian stay behind to defend in 2016 while the others decide to help Rip protect the timeline. Before they can leave 2016, however, Rex Tyler arrives in a future version of the Waverider and warns the team of their impending death.

Cast and characters edit

Guest edit

Production edit

Development edit

In January 2015, co-creator Greg Berlanti stated that there were "very early" preliminary talks for an additional spin-off series centered on Ray Palmer / Atom (Brandon Routh), from Arrow and The Flash.[42] In February 2015, it was reported that a spin-off series, described as a superhero team-up show, was in discussion by The CW for a possible 2015–16 midseason release. Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Marc Guggenheim, and Sarah Schechter would serve as executive producers. The potential series would be headlined by several recurring characters from both Arrow and The Flash, including Palmer, Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), and Martin Stein (Victor Garber). Caity Lotz was also mentioned to be among the main cast. There would be potential for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new series, and the series would be casting "three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series".[43]

In March 2015, Stephen Amell, who portrays Oliver Queen / Green Arrow on Arrow, confirmed the series would air in the 2015–16 midseason. Additionally, Kreisberg stated more would be revealed about the nature of the series by the end of Arrow's third season, specifically why Lotz is slated to appear, given her previous character, Sara, was killed at the start of Arrow season three.[44] Berlanti also stated there was a particular reason for the other half of Firestorm—Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), as seen on The Flash—not being mentioned in the initial cast announcement.[45] On the purpose of the series, Berlanti said it was designed to be "most similar to our crossover episodes, where you feel that 'event-iness', but all the time. For us, first and foremost, with all of [our shows], it's about 'how is it its own thing?' Because we don't just want to do it to do it." He also revealed the producers were focusing on "making sure that the villain that we have on [the] show is distinct too... another big character who hasn't been used yet."[46] Also in March, Dominic Purcell was revealed to be reprising his role as Heat Wave in the series,[47] and Blake Neely, composer of Arrow and The Flash, would serve as composer.[48] At the end of the month, Arthur Darvill was cast as Rip Hunter,[49] while Ciara Renée was cast as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl.[50] In April 2015, in a Variety article on the recent MipTV event, it noted the title for the series would be Legends of Tomorrow, despite it still being unconfirmed by those involved with the series.[51] Also in the month, Franz Drameh was cast as Jefferson Jackson.[52] Keiynan Lonsdale, who would eventually play Wally West / Kid Flash as a regular in the third season, had originally auditioned for this role.[53] Amy Pemberton was chosen to voice Gideon, the artificial intelligence of the Waverider.[54]

In May 2015, Garber said that The CW was impressed with what was shown to them, giving the project a straight-to-series order.[55] The network officially confirmed the order for the series on May 7, 2015, as well as the official title, DC's Legends of Tomorrow.[56] Later in the month, it was confirmed that Lotz would reprise her role as Sara Lance, who would be taking the name White Canary,[57] as well as revealing the antagonist as Vandal Savage.[58] In June 2015, it was announced that Phil Klemmer had been made the series showrunner as well as executive producer;[59] Chris Fedak serves as executive producer and co-showrunner with Klemmer.[60] In August 2015, Casper Crump was cast as Savage,[61] and Falk Hentschel as Carter Hall / Hawkman.[62] Although initially advertised as a regular cast member, Hentschel was credited as a guest star for his appearances in episodes airing after the season's second episode.[63] In January 2016, Martin Donovan was cast as Rip Hunter's mentor Zaman Druce, a Time Master.[64]

Filming edit

In May 2015, Garber revealed filming would begin in August 2015, for a January 2016 premiere.[55] The series shot a presentation for the network's upfront showcase, which was filmed over the course of one night, and directed by Arrow and The Flash veteran Dermott Downs.[65] Filming of the series began on September 9, 2015, in Vancouver, British Columbia.[66][67][68] Director/producer Glen Winter discussed in a January 2016 interview with Comic Book Resources the process of filming key elements of the series' pilot,

The new facet for Legends was that there's no #1 [actor] on the call sheet. There are seven or eight leads. For me, that was the intimidating part. I wasn't as worried about the action and tone as I was with wrangling all these personalities and finding out how they all work together. Or, how to shoot a scene with eight people in the Waverider, day after day.[69]

He stated of the series style of shooting on location as opposed to predominantly shooting on a soundstage,

As is typical with any pilot, most of the time you are going to shoot more on location. Because you don't necessarily know if you are going to have a show that's been picked up, they don't want to invest a lot of money in the infrastructure, so you end up shooting more on location. The only set that was built was the Waverider. That being said, because we knew there was a pickup for the show, it wasn't a conventional pilot. All the resources of construction went into the Waverider. That's continuing into the series. I don't think they tend to build much. I think they tend to adapt locations because there's so much time travel and so many eras to create.[69]

Release edit

Critical response edit

The pilot was well reviewed for its potential. Russ Burlingame from ComicBook.com praised it saying, "The series delivers a sharp, enjoyable pilot that's arguably the most attention-grabbing and entertaining from any of the current crop of superhero shows."[93] Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave the first part of the pilot episode a 7.7/10, praising the show's "epic scope", "fun character dynamics", and Arthur Darvill's performance;[94] and gave the second part of the pilot an 8.4/10, saying it "improved in its sophomore episode thanks to great character dynamics and superhero action".[95]

However the series was met with mixed reviews,[96][97][98] review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the complete season only a 65% approval rating, with an average rating of 6.42/10 based on 36 reviews. The website's consensus reads: "Fancy effects, comic-book nostalgia, and an alluring cast help keep it afloat, but DC's Legends of Tomorrow suffers from an overloaded cast of characters that contribute to a distractingly crowded canvas."[99] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 58 out of 100 based on reviews from 22 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[100]

Reviewing the season as a whole, Jesse Schedeen said, "It's interesting to see where Legends of Tomorrow ended its first season in relation to where it started. Early on, the show's plodding pace caused it to lag behind The Flash and Arrow. But the show eventually found its voice and managed to end on a stronger note than either of its sister series. Even in those weeks where the pointless romantic drama or the conflict with Vandal Savage failed to inspire much excitement, the memorable character dynamics made this show a joy to watch."[97] J. C. Macek III of PopMatters said, "While not without its flaws, Legends of Tomorrow is just too good to ignore. There are big surprises in every episode, but the biggest surprise is that the first season actually is a really good show."[98] Writing for Rolling Stone, Alan Sepinwall felt the season was "dull and boring" feeling that the other seasons of the show greatly improve on it.[96]

Sarah Schechter would serve as executive producers The potential series would be headlined by several recurring characters from both Arrow and The Flash including Palmer Leonard Snart Wentworth Miller and Martin Stein Victor Garber Caity Lotz was also mentioned to be among the main cast There would be potential for other Arrow Flash characters to cross over to the new series and the series would be casting three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series 43 In March 2015 Stephen Amell who portrays Oliver Queen Green Arrow on Arrow confirmed the series would air in the 2015 16 midseason Additionally Kreisberg stated more would be revealed about the nature of the series by the end of Arrow s third season specifically why Lotz is slated to appear given her previous character Sara was killed at the start of Arrow season three 44 Berlanti also stated there was a particular reason for the other half of Firestorm Ronnie Raymond Robbie Amell as seen on The Flash not being mentioned in the initial cast announcement 45 On the purpose of the series Berlanti said it was designed to be most similar to our crossover episodes where you feel that event iness but all the time For us first and foremost with all of our shows it s about how is it its own thing Because we don t just want to do it to do it He also revealed the producers were focusing on making sure that the villain that we have on the show is distinct too another big character who hasn t been used yet 46 Also in March Dominic Purcell was revealed to be reprising his role as Heat Wave in the series 47 and Blake Neely composer of Arrow and The Flash would serve as composer 48 At the end of the month Arthur Darvill was cast as Rip Hunter 49 while Ciara Renee was cast as Kendra Saunders Hawkgirl 50 In April 2015 in a Variety article on the recent MipTV event it noted the title for the series would be Legends of Tomorrow despite it still being unconfirmed by those involved with the series 51 Also in

Pemberton was chosen to voice Gideon the artificial intelligence of the Waverider 54 In May 2015 Garber said that The CW was impressed with what was shown to them giving the project a straight to series order 55 The network officially confirmed the order for the series on May 7 2015 as well as the official title DC s Legends of Tomorrow 56 Later in the month it was confirmed that Lotz would reprise her role as Sara Lance who would be taking the name White Canary 57 as well as revealing the antagonist as Vandal Savage 58 In June 2015 it was announced that Phil Klemmer had been made the

series shot a presentation for the network s upfront showcase which was filmed over the course of one night and directed by Arrow and The Flash veteran Dermott Downs 65 Filming of the series began on September 9 2015 in Vancouver British Columbia 66 67 68 Director producer Glen Winter discussed in a January 2016 interview with Comic Book Resources the process of filming key elements of the series pilot The new facet for Legends was that there s no 1 actor on the call sheet There are seven or eight leads For me that was the intimidating part I wasn t as worried about the action and tone as I was with wrangling all these personalities and finding out how they all work together Or how to shoot a scene with eight people in the Waverider day after day 69 He stated of the series style of shooting on location as opposed to predominantly shooting on a soundstage As is typical with any pilot most of the time you are going to shoot more on location Because you don t necessarily know if you are going to have a show that s been picked up they don t want to invest a lot of money in the infrastructure so you end up shooting more on location The only set that was built was the Waverider That being said because we knew there was a pickup for the show it wasn t a conventional pilot All the resources of construction went into the Waverider That s continuing into the series I don t think they tend to build much I think they tend to adapt locations because there s so much time travel and so many eras to create 69 Release editBroadcast edit The season began airing on January 21 2016 on

92 Critical response edit The pilot was well reviewed for its potential Russ Burlingame from ComicBook com praised it saying The series delivers a sharp enjoyable pilot that s arguably the most attention grabbing and entertaining from any of the current crop of superhero shows 93 Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave the first part of the pilot episode a 7 7 10 praising the show s epic scope fun character dynamics and Arthur Darvill s performance 94 and gave the second part of the pilot an 8 4 10 saying it improved in its sophomore episode thanks to great character dynamics and superhero action 95 However the series was met with mixed reviews 96 97 98 review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the complete season only a 65 approval rating with an average rating of 6 42 10 based on 36 reviews The website s consensus reads Fancy effects comic book nostalgia and an alluring cast help keep it afloat but DC s Legends of Tomorrow suffers from an overloaded cast of characters that contribute to a distractingly crowded canvas 99 Metacritic which uses a weighted average assigned a score of 58 out of 100 based on reviews from 22 critics indicating mixed or average reviews 100 Reviewing the season as a whole Jesse Schedeen said It s interesting to see where Legends of Tomorrow ended its first season in relation to where it started Early on the show s plodding pace caused it to lag behind The Flash and Arrow But the show eventually found its voice and managed to end on a stronger note than either of its sister series Even in those weeks where the pointless romantic drama or the conflict with Vandal Savage failed to inspire much excitement the memorable character dynamics made this show a joy to watch 97 J C Macek III of PopMatters said While not without its flaws Legends of Tomorrow is just too good to ignore There are big surprises in every episode but the biggest surprise is that the first season actually is a really good show 98 Writing for Rolling Stone Alan Sepinwall felt the season was dull and boring feeling that the other seasons of the show greatly improve on it 96 Accolades edit Award nominations for Legends of Tomorrow season 1 Year Award
