The CW has released the official synopses for Supergirl season 2, The Flash season 3, Arrow season 5, and Legends of Tomorrow season 2. Some are more detailed than others, but all reveal a few things about the new plotlines.

Not sure they could be considered SPOILERS exactly, but if you want to go into these new seasons knowing absolutely nothing about 'em, probably best to skip.

ARROW:


After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. Oliver returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), former police captain Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum).

Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With Diggle back in the military and Thea adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy, Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity – but they’re no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow’s public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.


LEGENDS OF TOMORROW:

After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new threat emerges. Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), an unconventional and charming historian, is thrust into the action upon making a shocking discovery – the Legends are scattered throughout time. Nate must find a way to rescue season one’s beloved team of heroes and rogues, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to miniscule size, as the Atom; Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), the White Canary, a trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm; and Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), aka Heat Wave, a career criminal.

When the Legends encounter the J.S.A (the Justice Society of America, the precursor to DC’s Justice League) in the 1940s, Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), aka Vixen, joins the team. While the team reunites, a mystery looms – the fate of former captain Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill). Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations – unusual changes to history that spawn potentially catastrophic consequences. When Nate, the grandson of J.S.A. member Commander Steel, unexpectedly finds himself with powers, he must overcome his own insecurities and find the hero within himself. Ultimately, the Legends will clash with foes both past and present, to save the world from a mysterious new threat.


SUPERGIRL:

In Season One, Supergirl soared fighting crime and battling various villains, chief among them two Kryptonians who were intent on destroying earth, but she has yet to find that same empowerment as Kara Danvers. Now, in Season Two, Kara has left the safety of being Cat Grant’s assistant in order to figure out what she really wants to do, while as Supergirl she continues to work at the DEO., protecting the citizens of National City and searching for Jeremiah and Cadmus. Along the way, she will team up with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) to battle new villains, as she strives to balance her personal life with her life as a superhero.


THE FLASH:

Blinded by anger, Barry unwittingly plays into Zoom's game and uncovers the evil speedster's true goal: to destroy all the earths in the multiverse. In the face of his life, Barry ultimately gets the upper hand against Zoom and defeats his nemesis. But unable to celebrate victory, Barry makes a world-shaking decision and speeds back in time to the night his mother died to stop Reverse Flash from killing her, irrevocably changing his past and redetermining his future.

Arrow returns Wednesday, Oct. 5, The Flash returns Tuesday, Oct. 4, Supergirl returns Monday, Oct. 10, and Legends of Tomorrow returns Thursday, Oct. 13.

They are keeping the Flash's synopsis quite "top secret"
But we already know a couple of things thanks to SDDC (God bless that convention)

@DeusExSponge - the death of Superman in BvS must have really shook things up at WB/DC so that the CW DC squad was able to be like "Ayyy let us use Supes for Supergirl" lol I'm really excited about that

Haven't watched Legends of Tomorrow but I'm gunna try to catch up before the season2 return, Haven't watched Arrow since season2 which I barely GOT through (F*ck Laurel). & I won't watch 3&4 as a whole maybe important episodes. I'm still finishing season2 of the Flash which is jus fantastic yo. I'm currently rewatching Supergirl with my fiance who never even knew there was a Supergirl character let alone tv series. So this is cool seeing her n my step daughter reactions to Supergirl doing Super things and actually fighting bad guys and getting her teeth kicked in while also delivering the beat downs Too! I'm dying for Supergirl to return. All the synopsis' sound great.
I'm still waaay MORE excited for Agents of SHIELD season 4 than ALL 4 of these series Combined
