Everyone must still be overwhelmed with the jam-packed adrenaline-rushed
moments of Arrow’s third season finale. By next week, The Flash will end its first season, surely with explosive events. And just while we are
basking in the excitement and digesting all the drama and thrill, The CW
Television Network released the trailer of the much-anticipated spin-off from Arrow and Flash. Existing in the same fictional universe, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow features a breath-taking
ensemble of superheroes – some we know already and some are new ones. Here is a
blow-by-blow analysis of the trailer:
The trailer implies that Arrow and Flash may not be enough
to prevent an impending doom from a new enemy from the future. Hence, they assemble
a team composing of heroes from their own universe. Possibly a major player for
the show is Ray Palmer or The Atom (Brandon Routh). Actor Routh may have failed in
his previous superhero role in the big screen as Superman, but he is an instant
hit as The Atom, evident in his recurring appearance in Arrow. Some kind of explosion happened in Palmer Technologies
Building in Arrow’s season three finale while Ray is working on his A.T.O.M.
suit. Apparently, he is not killed but seems to have succeeded in enhancing his
suit.
Professor Martin Stein with his alter ego Firestorm (Victor
Garber) can also be seen in the trailer. In the latest episode of The Flash,
Firestorm had done well in assisting Flash and Arrow in capturing the
Reverse-Flash. Leonard Snart A.K.A. Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Mick
Rory or Heatwave (Dominic Purcell) are surprisingly part of the team, too. These guys
are sailing between good and evil, and perhaps, they will provide a different
kind of tension and excitement in the upcoming show.
Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) is also back! This simply means that
she is not dead. Or better, she has been brought back to life. In the trailer,
Sara seems to emerge from the healing well in Nanda Parbat. Could it be that Nyssa
brought her body to the well to revive her? Or is it all part of Malcolm’s
grand scheme? Whichever, we could only hope that her backstory be told in the
fourth season of Arrow. But hey, the incoming season of Arrow will be all about
Damien Darhk and the H.I.V.E. As it is, Sara Lance is back as the White Canary.
In the trailer, we see two new characters – Kendra Saunders
A.K.A. Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) and Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill). Hawkgirl’s character
is described as “a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been
repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior
persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning
her the moniker Hawkgirl.” But mind you, Renee revealed in an interview that
she and other new cast members of the new series would appear in the final episode
of the first season of The Flash. That
would be next week!
On the other hand, Rip Hunter is someone from the future who
belongs to a group called Time Masters. He is a messenger from the future who
brings the news to the team. Based on reports, there is another character named
Jay Jackson (Franz Drameh) who will also be part of the show. Sadly, the
trailer did not give us a glimpse of him. Lastly, a mysterious immortal enemy called
Vandal Savage will cause the chaos.
The trailer also reveals that the team would have to travel
to the future to fight against the evil. But if these forces get in touch with
the present, our new superhero team will certainly go back and forth in both
time scales.
Without a doubt, The CW
released a very exciting trailer video for the upcoming series. Exciting is actually
a modest term as one can only gape while watching it and yell a loud WOW in the
end. Just a reminder everyone, that video is not for a big screen movie but it
feels like it. Unfortunately, we have to wait for a long time as DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is slated for
early 2016 release. For the meanwhile, let’s make do with Arrow and The Flash. LOL!
