I’ve written fairly extensively about my excitement for the CW network’s upcoming Arrow-Flash universe spinoff DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Thursday morning, we got our first tease of the series with an official image featuring the cast and characters.

Here’s the official release from the CW:
When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known? DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW stars Victor Garber (“The Flash,” “Alias”); Brandon Routh (“Arrow,” “Superman Returns”); Arthur Darvill (“Doctor Who”); Caity Lotz (“Arrow”); Ciarra Renee (“Pippin”); Franz Drameh (“Edge of Tomorrow”); with Dominic Purcell (“The Flash,” “Prison Break”); and Wentworth Miller (“The Flash,” “Prison Break”). Based on the characters from DC Comics, DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” upcoming “Pan”), Marc Guggenheim (“Arrow,” “Eli Stone,” “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”), Andrew Kreisberg (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Eli Stone,” “Warehouse 13”) and Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” upcoming “Pan”).
This poster features all the characters except for Franz Drameh’s Jay Jackson, which builds on the speculation his character may be more than the mechanic he’s described as in past press releases.
The CW also confirmed Caity Lotz will be playing White Canary, which pretty much guarantees that Sara Lance will be brought back from death. This is a comic book series, so I’m sure there are many creative ways they can do that.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has tentatively been scheduled for a 2016 release, and expect many crossovers with the “Flarrow” universe. It’s easy to be excited for this one.
