Legends of Tomorrow (The CW)
 
Quote:
EXCLUSIVE: DC Comics superheroes are uniting in a potential new drama series at the CW, a garbercaity lotzspinoff from hits Arrow and The Flash that will feature several fan-favorite recurring actors/characters from both shows. I have learned that the network has teamed with Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a project eyed for next season toplined by Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz.

The untitled project, now in development, is described as a superhero team-up show. Routh, Miller and Garber will reprise their popular DC Comics characters — Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom (Routh), Flash villain Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Miller), and Flash‘s Dr. Martin Stein (Garber). Because her Arrow character Sara Lance was killed off, with her sister Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking over as the Black Canary, it is unclear whether Lotz will play the same or new superhero.

The project is in early stages of development, so there is a possibility for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new spinoff. Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series.

This is the project CW president Mark Pedowitz vaguely referenced at TCA in January. It will not be part of the current pilot cycle. With the creative auspices and talent involved, I hear that it could go straight to series, possibly for next midseason.

Berlanti and Kreisberg, who also co-created The Flash, executive produce alongside Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter for Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Prods.

Teaming up superheroes has been a winning formula, as proven by the success of the Justice League and The Avengers comics. Marvel’s The Avengers have crossed over to features, with DC’s Justice League also on its way to the big screen. Routh is repped by UTA and Main Title, Lotz is repped by UTA and Atlas Artists.

Wow soon CW is pretty much going to be all DC comic book shows soon. Wonder what its going to be called pretty sure there not going to call it Justice League. Brave and the Bold possibly Justice Society or maybe even the Outsiders. Also Caity Lotz thats kinda shocking I doubt they would bring back a well known face and have her play a brand new character. Maybe there is a Lazarus pit in the Arrow universe after all and death is just as permanent in the show as it is in the comics.

Greg Berlanti officially confirms the series is moving forward:

New details on the three new heroes appearing in the show:

Quote:
“THE TRAVELER” | Described as a “Han Solo-esque rogue who gets by with his charm, this hero hails from the future, and has journeyed back in time on a secret mission. His razor-sharp wit hides the pain of a man who has lived through serious conflict. He also harbors many secrets, always leaving both his teammates and the audience unsure of his true allegiances.
Quite Possibly Is Rip Hunter (pictured above), who first debuted in 1959 in the pages of DC Comics’ series Showcase and has popped up in continuity over the years. This Time Master has revealed in the past that “Rip Hunter” isn’t his real name – it’s an alias he uses so that his enemies can’t thwart his future efforts by killing him when he is a helpless infant in the past!
But Could Also Be Booster Gold — though he appeared in an episode of Smallville (played by Days of Our Lives‘ Eric Martsolf), and it’s been said the new characters have never been featured on a live-action show before — or Time Traveler, a powerful villain who’s gone up against the Legion of Super-Heroes.

“FEMALE WARRIOR” |This twentysomething Latina is pretty but unassuming, book smart and socially awkward by day. But by night, when she hears the cry of battle, her fury is ignited and she becomes a fierce warrior — so much so, that sometimes she can become a threat to others.
Quite Possibly Is a cross between Fury aka Helena Kosmatos (pictured), an Amazon heroine empowered by the ancient Furies, and Yolanda Montez, who assumed the role of Wildcat from her godfather, Ted Grant.
But Could Also Be Pantha aka Rosabelle Mendez, a short-lived member of the New Titans, or Tarantula aka Catalina Marie Flores, who hails from the pages of Nightwing.

“MYSTERY HERO” |An African-American male in his twenties will fill the role of a regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations.
Quite Possibly Is Virgil Ovid Hawkins, a high school student who was splashed with experimental chemicals after being caught in a gang war. Virgil emerged with electromagnetic powers, which he uses to fight crime as the superhero Static (pictured).
But Could Also Be Black Lightning (aka Jefferson Pierce) or Black Vulcan

Ciara Renée has been casted as Hawkgirl!

Quote:
EXCLUSIVE: It has been a fast rise for young actress Ciara Renée, who graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a degree in music theater in May 2013. Since then, she made her Broadway debut in Big Fish and replaced Patina Miller as Leading Player in the revival of Pippin. Last fall, she made her TV debut with a guest shot on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU. And now, she has landed a lead in CW’s proposed Arrow/Flash spinoff series, playing the role of Kendra Saunders aka Hawkgirl.


The superhero team-up show, from Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim, was to bring in three new DC superhero characters never seen on TV, along with a slew of Arrow/Flash recurring fan favorites. Hawkgirl is not expected to be one of them as the character has appeared in a Season 9 episode of the WB/CW drama Smallville, played by Sahar Biniaz, as well as in a couple of animated series including Justice League.

In the new series, Saunders is a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning her the moniker Hawkgirl.


On the Arrow/Flash spinoff, eyed for next midseason, Renée joins Brandon Routh (Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom), Wentworth Miller (The Flash‘s Leonard Snart/Captain Cold), Dominic Purcell (The Flash‘s Mick Rory/Heat Wave), Victor Garber and Caity Lotz whose role is still TBD as her Arrow character Sara Lance was killed off, with her sister Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking over as the Black Canary.

Per the released breakdowns, the Arrow/Flash spinoff has been casting three new roles. With one of them turning out to be Hawkgirl, Lotz could end up playing one of the three new-to-TV DC characters, along with the two new male roles, now casting.

Berlanti and Kreisberg, who also co-created The Flash, executive produce the new series alongside Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter for Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Prods.

Renee, repped by Stone Manners Salners Agency, recently starred as Esmeralda in a workshop production of the Disney musical The Hunchback Of Notre Dame at the Papermill Playhouse in New Jersey and the La Jolla Playhouse.

Neat!

It's nice to see new DC shows that aren't Batman.

Raph's Girl 03-30-2015 05:31 PM
So it appears that the "Female Warrior" in the casting call was for Hawkgirl. Yeah. I can dig it.

That's cool, But I wish it was Shiera Hawkgirl.

Arthur Darvill has been casted as Rip Hunter.

Quote:
Arthur Darvill, who played a companion to the Doctor in BBC’s Doctor Who, is in final negotiations to join the cast of the WB’s untitled DC Arrow/Flash spinoff show.

The series’ cast already includes Brandon Routh as incredible shrinking hero The Atom (aka Ray Palmer), Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory and Victor Garber as Prof. Martin Stein among others.

Darvill will play a character titled the Traveler, a *****ure time-hopping adventurer. There was speculation that the hero could be time-jumping Booster Gold, but The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the character is Rip Hunter, one of DC’s classic heroes created back in 1959 and the leader of a time-traveling group.

(Interestingly, his origin was redone so that he became the son Booster Gold, who was created in the mid-1980s.)

In fact, inside the WB the character is described as " a roguish time traveler who hides the strains of being responsible for history itself behind a facade of charm and wit."

Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg are writing and exec producing.

This will be the first American television work for Darvill, who can be seen on the current season of BBC’s crime drama Broadchurch.

He is repped by Independent Talent and Silver Lining Entertainment.

Loved Arthur Darvill as Rory Williams in Doctor Who can't wait to see him in Flash SPinoff

Raph's Girl 03-30-2015 09:32 PM
So basically Rory has been promoted from Companion to Time Lord.

Now only that but since River is in the Arrow-verse he can spend time with his uh granddaughters.... :P

TurtleTitan97 04-09-2015 03:26 PM
This is subject to change, but it's being reported that the spin-off could possibly go by the title "The Atom": http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/04/arr...ive-title.html

Ugh. So far, "The Atom" is my least favorite character in both Arrow and Flash. I get what they're trying to do with him, but they're pushing him too hard in Arrow and Flash. I mean, Barry Allen appeared in ONE episode of Arrow before being in his own spin-off show. Caitlen and Cisco appeared in TWO episodes, and were not the main focus.

Ray Palmer has been in every frakking episode of Arrow this season, it seems.

I'm much more interested in Rip Hunter or even Hawkgirl.

Krutch 04-09-2015 04:45 PM
I think Routh/Palmer has been a breath of fresh air on the show, personally. I like Arrow a lot but sometimes its too heavy and overdramatic. I like the lightheartedness Palmer brings to an episode to help balance it out.

I only wish his scenes were more connected to the episode, though. Glad thats finally happened.

Sure, but it's obvious they're utilizing him just to promote the next spinoff. Whereas with Barry Allen in Season 2, he showed up ONCE before getting his own show. He didn't derail or intrude upon each episode of Season 2.

I'd like Ray more if he wasn't constantly popping up saying "Hey guys, wouldn't you like to be watching my new show instead of this one?"

John Wesley Shipp has apparently revealed that the title of the spin now has the tentative title of "Legends" and that the first season will be 13-episodes:

Actually it's being called Legends of Tomorrow. Considering the time travel aspect (Arthur Darvil as RIP Hunter) that title makes sense. Plus Legends is the title of another show coming out.

The "Mystery Hero" has been casted! Franz Drameh (EDGE OF TOMORROW) has been casted as Jay Jackson. He's not based on any particular character, so I'm betting he's probably playing an original hero exclusive to this series.

Quote:
It's speculation time! Reports are coming in that Franz Drameh (Attack The Block, Hereafter, Edge Of Tomorrow) has joined the cast of the CW's Arrow/The Flash spinoff show. His character has the good old fashioned alliterative secret identity name of Jay Jackson, but the DC superhero he's actually playing remains a mystery. Could it be Static Shock? Black Lighting perhaps? We do have some details on this Mr. Jackson however, as according to the official press release he'll be a "former high school athlete, whose pro-career was derailed by injury. Now making ends meets as an auto mechanic, Jay will come to have a surprising affiliation to the S.T.A.R. Labs crew." That makes him sound a LOT like Cyborg, but with that character expected to make his big screen debut in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, is that likely?

Whoever he turns out to be he'll join Arthur Darvill (Rip Hunter), Ciara Renée (Hawkgirl), Brandon Routh (Ray Palmer/The Atom), Wentworth Miller (Leonard Snart/Captain Cold), Dominic Purcell (Mick Rory/Heat Wave), Victor Garber (Dr. Martin Stein) and Caity Lotz (?). The new series will air sometime this year.

DC Entertainment has registered a trademark for “Legends of Tomorrow”, so it looks like the title is legit: http://comicbook.com/2015/05/06/lege...tle-of-arrow-/

I'll see to it the title of the thread is changed.

TurtleTitan97 05-07-2015 03:45 PM
The show has gotten a series order! Here is the official synopsis:

Quote:
In Legends, 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 (Arthur Darvill) 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?

Why would you not grab the Flash? Perhaps Rip Hunter is assembling people who no longer have an impact on the future?

That would explain why he can assemble Sarah Lance (she's dead), but what about Hawkgirl? I am intrigued...

Eh Rory Williams just wants to out do The Doctor with companions and who better to be a companion than a granddaughter (Sara). :P

But seriously. Hopefully he has a cool time machine.

I'm not familiar with Rip Hunter at all but I LOVED Rory. Rory was awesome.

Rory leading a team of Rogues? I'm all in. Now all I want is for Atom to finally shrink.

And Felicity to die, but that's a different rant... :tlol:

This looks INCREDIBLE. Count me in!

(But Atom did look silly in shrinking mode.)

Wow, this looks awesome! Can't wait to see what Vandal Salvage has in store... (although I do agree that the CG for the Atom when he shrinks is kinda funny.)
