On March 17th,
DC's Legends of Tomorrow bids farewell to two of its own as both Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford sadly exit the fan-favorite superhero drama as series regulars, and while the fates of their characters remain uncertain for now, the latest batch of photos may have inadvertantly revealed that Ray Palmer and Nora Darhk will indeed get the happy ending they deserve.
Routh was one of the three original cast members (with Caity Lotz and Dominic Purcell) left aboard the Waverider, so his absence will undoubtedly be felt throughout the rest of this season and likely into next as the show reconfigures the team's time-traversing mission.
While the pair may be gone for now, the photos and synopsis do seemingly leave the door open for a possible return down the line. There's also a small possibilty they're being transferred to a different DC TV series or, considering how well received Routh's Superman return was in "Crisis on Infinite Earths," there may be a chance of him retiring The Atom for now and suiting up yet again as the Man of Steel. However, that's probably a longshot, at best.
"Romeo V. Juliet: Dawn of Justness" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)
SAYING GOODBYE - The Legends continue their hunt for pieces of the Loom of Fate and find themselves face to face with William Shakespeare. Ray (Brandon Routh), Nate (Nick Zano), Rory (Dominic Purcell), Constantine (Matt Ryan), Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) and Behrad (guest star Shayan Sobhian) stay a little longer on the mission making things worse after lying to Sara (Caity Lotz). Meanwhile, Ray and Nora (Courtney Ford) make another big life decision that leaves the team surprised and best buds, Nate and Ray, on the outs. Jes Macallan, Tala Ashe and Olivia Swann also star. Alexandra LaRoche directed the episode written by Ray Utarnachitt & Matthew Maala (#507). Original airdate 3/17/2020.

After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara and her team join Ava Sharpe and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with "Fugitives" - magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone's favorite demonologist to set history back on track.
