Today we got our first trailer for the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow series, which will have 13 episodes and air in 2016. The promo does a pretty good job of introducing the characters and the premise, but it includes Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) among its cast, and will have at least a cameo from the Flash (Grant Gustin) and other Flashverse characters. One’s a surprise and you’ll see him in the trailer, but he’s still an obvious choice to appear. And we finally learn who the main villain will be.

Flashfans.org also has a behind-the-scenes featurette for the series, showing some of the stunts and including commentary from the showrunners. It’s made by the same creative team as The Flash and Arrow.

What do you think of the videos and premise? Are you thinking of checking out the show when it debuts?

The new CW series which spins out of The Flash and Arrow will apparently be titled “Legends of Tomorrow” and has been officially ordered by the network despite not yet having a pilot episode. It will have the same showrunners as its parent shows, and will include Flash characters Captain Cold and Heat Wave (and Martin Stein) amongst the characters. The Hollywood Reporter has more details.

The series’ formal logline:

“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?”

I’m cautiously optimistic about this, and definitely want to see more Cold and Heat Wave. So I’m looking forward to it right now. How about everyone else?
