Today marks the start of Fall and that means The CW will be kicking off the new season for all of their DCTV shows in just a few short weeks. Following the release of new posters for
The Flash and
Arrow, we now have a new season 2 poster for
DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Joining the Atom, Firestorm, White Canary, Rip Hunter and Heatwave are Vixen and Citizen Steel. They replace season 1 team members Hawkgirl and Captain Cold.
As the season opens, the various members of the Legends team will be scattered across time and it will be up to Citizen Steel (the grandson of Commander Steel) to save them. Once they regroup, the team will take it upon itself to act as the new Time Masters and protect the timeline from temporal aberrations (looking at you Flash) which brings them into conflict with the Legion of Doom - a group of super-villains comprised of Damien Darhk, Reverse-Flash, the Dark Archer and former Legends team member, Captain Cold.
Legends of Tomorrow season 2 premieres on Thursday, October 13 at 8/7c on The CW.
LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Season 2 Synopsis
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.
