January 21st, just a couple weeks from now, we’ll finally get to see the pilot episode for the CW’s mid-season miniseries, Legends of Tomorrow. It’s borrowing heroes and villains from both Arrow and The Flash and bringing them together to address one gigantic threat from the future — the immortal Vandal Savage (Casper Crump).
But, until then, we’ll just have to fill our time with as many trailers for the show as possible. We’ve got a new one out this morning that gives us an idea of just how much fun the cast and crew had making this series — seeing Caity Lotz as White Canary walking off with a young, “doobie-smoking” version of Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber), listening to Dominic Purcell growl all of his murder-loving lines as Heat Wave and seeing that, apparently, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) gets punched a lot.
We also get a line that sums up, very well, what exactly Rip Hunter’s main objective and guiding principle is — “I’m a Time Master. Making discreet alterations to the time line is what I do.”
SERIES PREMIERE — In the year 2166, the immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) is on the verge of his final victory – total chaos and the utter destruction of humanity. As the world crumbles, the Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) takes matters into his own hands; he travels 150 years into the past to assemble a carefully selected team of heroes and rogues to stop him. Hunter has chosen what seems like an ill-matched group: 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; Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), known as Captain Cold, and his partner Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), AKA Heat Wave, a pair of career criminals; and Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel) AKA Hawkgirl and Hawkman. Together this unlikely group will attempt to stop one of the most formidable villains of all time, while they must learn how to not only be a team, but heroes as well. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Phil Klemmer and Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg (#101).
