Legends of tomorrow. Will star Firestorm, Atom and more. Airing on the CW

Recommended Posts

EXCLUSIVE: DC Comics superheroes are uniting in a potential new drama series at the CW, a spinoff 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, and Guggenheim executive produce with Sarah Schechter for Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Prods.    http://deadline.com/2015/02/arrow-flash-spin-off-cw-new-superhero-series-1201382466/

With this and CBS casting Cyborg and Superman in that Supergirl show, WB might as well cancel their movie version, because by the time it happens, nobody will care.

 

Not Cyborg and Superman, Cyborg-Superman, a different character altogether who will probably never make it anywhere near a movie

WAT?

Cyborg-Superman is based on the Fantastic Four. He was an astronaut who went to space with his family, got exposed to cosmic rays, everyone died except for him. He had an experimental procedure done on him to keep him alive and gained the ability to command electronics. He was one of the 4 replacement supermen during the Death of Superman storyline in the 90s. He is also responsible for the destruction of coast city which led to Hal Jordan going mad. He has been seen sporadically since, his basic purpose was to be a decoy Superman during the Death storyline, and he has just hung around since (kind of like Bane before Gail Simone)

It's interesting.  We have 1 MCU across multiple TV shows and movies and we have 4 DC universes.

 

1.Arrow/The Flash/Legends of Tomorrow

2.Gotham

3.Supergirl

4.MoS/BvS/JL in the movies

Supergirl might be in the same universe as Arrow & Flash.

 

I dunno. The talk of Superman having been the worlds only superhero seems to preclude that. Doesn't mean Flash couldn't still show up, since he can travel across the multiverse. They could also just retcon that bit, I doubt people would mind.

Berlanti speculated they could still be in the same universe but the head of CBS recently said that would be unlikely as they are on different networks.  However, the possibility is still there.  Given the set up on Supergirl in the pilot in wouldn't make sense for them to be in the same universe.
