DC's Legends of Tomorrow has cast Martin Donovan as Rip Hunter's Time Master Academy mentor, Druce. Donovan played Mithcell Carson in Marvel Studios' Ant-Man. In DC Comics lore, Rip Hunter's mentor is Booster Gold, who is ultimately revealed to be Hunter's father (time travel means you can meet your father and be older than he is!). However, it appears that Legends of Tomorrow is going a different route. Is this retcon an indication that Booster Gold is a character that's off the table for DCTV? Are there plans for the character in the DCEU?
IGN reports, "Druce is a respected member of the time council who was Rip's first mentor at the Time Master Academy. He is a seasoned Time Master who is accustomed with mediating conflicts throughout history. Druce finds himself faced with his greatest challenge when he is tasked to find Rip and convince him to abandon his hunt for Vandal Savage (Casper Crump). If he can't convince his former pupil and the Legends to give up their quest, he may be forced to kill the man he looked upon as a son."
What did you think of last night's season premiere of Legends of Tomorrow? Will you be tuning in next week?
