Phil Klemmer adelanta un reboot de una S2 'más desenfadada' ('¡el viaje a través del tiempo es divertido!') y la Legion of Doom vs. JSA
Por Matt Webb Mitovich / 11 Oct 2016, 9:00 AM PDT

The Legends of Tomorrow actually have two new missions for Season 2 — one of them being to remind us, “Time travel is supposed to be fun!”

Coming off of a heavily serialized, sci-fi-heavy freshman run, The CW’s Arrow/Flash offshoot reboots things a bit when it returns Thursday, Oct. 13 at 8/7c, as evidenced from the very first scene, in which someone we’ve never met before barges into Mayor Oliver Queen’s office with a wild theory about Green Arrow’s time-traveling friends having gone “missing” — in the past. Over time, the series will touch more upon DC Comics’ venerable Justice Society of America, as well as introduce its take on the nefarious Legion of Doom.

Shworunner Phil Klemmer gave TVLine a preview of the “lighter” Season 2.

TVLINE | You and Marc [Guggenheim] have been pretty honest about things in Season 1 that didn’t work. What’s an example of something that you decided, “We don’t need to do so much of that in Season 2?”
This show is fairly intensely serialized, if only because we explained what we were going to be doing so explicitly. Like, “Vandal Savage ruins the world on this that day! This is what we’re trying to stop! He’s immortal!” It doesn’t take a genius to realize that we’re going to fail 15 times and then succeed. It was such a linear quest, Legends of Tomorrowso we wanted to unfold Season 2 much more like a mystery in the macro sense, in terms of what our season-long mystery is. And even with individual episodes, now that we’re “time masters” and fixing these things that we’ve termed “aberrations”, it’s not always like you know the objective in the first frame of the episode. There are time criminals out there screwing with history, and we don’t always know what has been changed and what the consequences are. That gives our team a little more breathing room, now that they’re not burdened with having to save the world. If you have a smaller stakes mission, it allows our team to do what they do best, which is to disagree, screw around, have personal agendas….

We got very sci-fi towards the end of last season, and this season is much more about inhabiting those recognizable historical eras. Because when you say “time machine” to a person, they’re never like, “I want to go to the future.” The future is always horrible, the world is always coming to an end! You want to go to the past, to see those iconic moments and meet iconic people. Our show is about adventure and irreverence and humor… and we had some romance…. The Flash is earnest in the best possible sense, but our guys are slightly warped versions of heroes, so we want them to be sardonic and selfish at times.

TVLINE | The way legends-of-tomorrow-hourmanSeason 1 ended, I assumed Hourman (Suits’ Patrick J. Adams) proceeded to tell the team what he needs them to do. And yet he is MIA from the premiere. Are we not continuous…?
We’re jumping forward by a bit, yeah. In our world, it’s basically as if time passes through the summer hiatus, for our characters just as is in real life. We missed [Hourman’s speech], but we will go back and get the second half of it. That said, as you can imagine, giving our Legends an admonition of what not to do is usually a pretty good prescription for getting them to do it. They don’t even listen to their own captain, so why should they listen to this guy? [Laughs]

TVLINE | It sounds like you’re giving a new character, Nate Heywood (new series regular Nick Zano), a lot of heavy lifting to do, at least in the first episode. Isn’t that a tricky call?
It’s not. Having Oliver Queen [with him] in the premiere certainly lends some gravitas to his entrance. I think what makes Nick fun is he’s the wide-eyed neophyte, he doesn’t know what superheroes are. So when he lands in the middle of our show, he’s able to call attention to, like, “Oh my god, this is a space ship!” “We just traveled through time!” And that infectious enthusiasm buoys the rest of our Legends. In a weird way, it reminds them — and the audience —Legends of Tomorrow that time travel is supposed to be fun. “It’s not all doom and gloom and save the world. Let’s do the lighter version of this.”

TVLINE | But why Nate? Because he doesn’t have powers at this point, right?
He doesn’t, no. In a way, Season 1 was all about math and science and computers and the Oculus and the Vanishing Point. Season 2 is much more about history, the fact that the Time Masters have been destroyed and the Legends are now fixing these aberrations in history, so we needed a humanities major on our show. We’ve got Dr. Stein, we’ve got Ray Palmer, but we needed somebody who is able to understand world history, and that’s what he offers. He is basically Dr. [Indiana] Jones, a swashbuckling academic.

Nate would be the first to say that the blood has run thin in the Heywood family — it’s hard to grow up in the shadow of [his grandfather, JSA member Commander Steel]. He’s an historian and he thought he would remain one for the rest of his life, but when the Legends come into his life and introduce him to time travel, he realizes that he’s going to get to do more than read about it. I don’t want to spoil the surprise of how Nate comes into his powers, but he certainly is the last guy who ever thought he would be on a superhero show.

TVLINE | What do you want to reveal about which Legends are where and when as the season opens?
I will say that they are separated by many tens of millions of years, so you’ll get a wide spectrum. We’ll go from 20th century history to the Revolutionary Era, to the Middle Ages… In this season, we will visit a bit of everything.

TVLINE | Hourman Legends of Tomorrowand more of the Justice Society of America show up in Episode 2. Was the JSA always on your radar with this show, or is it something you decided could give Season 2 the kick in the pants it needs?
We were looking for a zinger for the end of Season 1, and once we introduced Hourman we wanted to meet the greatest generation of superheroes, to have the yardstick for our team to measure against.

TVLINE | That’s a huge toy box to play with, almost a TV series unto itself.
It is, totally! It’s just cool, aesthetically, getting to find costumes of people from the ’40s…. I used to imagine what the attitude of the greatest generation of superheroes would be like.

TVLINE | Lance Henriksen has been cast as Obsidian. Does that mean he is the elder statesman of the group?
Well, when we meet Obsidian, he’s [played by Dan Payne (Strange Empire)]. Lance Henriksen plays a future version of him.

TVLINE | Turning to the Legion of Doom: Matt Letscher told me this won’t be a situation where Reverse-Flash, Captain Cold, Legends of Tomorrow Legion DoomMalcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk are driving around together in a “Doom Buggy.”
No, no….

TVLINE | Is there a leader amongst them?
Yeah, I think there are four. [Laughs] That’s the fun part. We had a singular bad guy in Season 1, Vandal Savage, and his agenda was clear. Going back to that notion of mystery, each of our four Legion of Doom members have their own somewhat competing agendas.

TVLINE | Might we get Black Manta?
Not yet! But the reason we brought the JSA in is because the Legion of Doom’s plan is directly related to the fate of the JSA in the ‘40s.

TVLINE | Will I at least get a helmet-in-a-swamp headquarters?
Uhhh, I don’t know…. [Laughs] I can’t tell you how hard it was just to find in Vancouver a brownstone to be our JSA headquarters. They were like, “What’s a brownstone?”

TVLINE | Which new character dynamics are you excited for people to see in Season 2?
I’m excited for people to see Rory and Amaya/Vixen (played by Maisie Richardson-Sellers), because to put a greatest generation JSA member against a 2016 criminal scumbag, there’s a delicious tension there. I’m also very excited to see Rory meet whatever incarnation of Leonard Snart (aka Captain Cold) we might choose. That’s a chance to watch our barely reformed arsonist threaten to backslide!

'Legends of Tomorrow': Todo lo que hay que saber sobre la Season 2
Por Sydney Bucksbaum 12 Octubre, 2016 8:30am PT

In the final moments of the season one finale, Legends of Tomorrow made it clear that season two was going to be completely different from what viewers were expecting.

After saving the world in three different time periods, the Legends were shocked when a Waverider crash landed right in front of them, and a man claiming to be Rex Tyler (Patrick J. Adams), aka Hourman from the Justice Society of America, warned the team that if they boarded their Waverider with the mission of becoming Time Masters themselves, they would all die. It was a game-changing twist for the Arrow and The Flash spinoff series, and one that signaled a major shift for the show moving into the new season.

But the arrival of a new team of heroes isn't the only new development to watch out for in season two. The Hollywood Reporter rounded up everything you need to know before tuning in to Thursday's season two premiere, "Out of Time," from the JSA to the Legion of Doom and more.


The JSA

Hourman's arrival means that his team, the JSA, is going to play a part in season two, and according to executive producer Marc Guggenheim, it's a pretty big one.

"With his final words in the finale, he planted a pretty deep flag about where we're headed in season two, which is not just introducing Hourman but introducing his teammates in the Justice Society of America," Guggenheim said. "For comic book fans, everyone knows the Justice Society is really the precursor to the Justice League, so it's a pretty big move in our DC universe here on TV."

While the JSA won't be introduced until the Oct. 20 episode, it has already been announced which DC Comics characters will make up the team. Along with Hourman, the Legends will meet Commander Steel (iZombie alum Matthew MacCaull), Stargirl (Wayward Pines‘ Sarah Grey), Dr. Mid-Nite (Kwesi Ameyaw), Obsidian (Dan Payne) and a new version of Vixen (The Originals' Maisie Richardson-Sellers) different from what was previously seen on Arrow.

But don't expect the Legends and the JSA to immediately get along. When the Legends travel to Nazi-occupied Paris, they discover a time aberration that threatens the JSA, but the JSA wants nothing to do with them or their help. Nevertheless, the Legends force their way into the JSA’s mission to intercept and seize a mysterious package.


A New Vixen

Instead of Mari Jiwe McCabe (Megalyn Echikunwoke), with whom Oliver (Stephen Amell) teamed up on Arrow last season, Legends of Tomorrow is introducing her ancestor Amaya Jiwe as a member of the JSA. Amaya is Mari's grandmother, and possesses the same powers from the mysterious Tantu Totem, which allows her to magically access the abilities of animals. Expect to see a lot of Amaya, as Richardson-Sellers has been cast as a series regular for season two.

A New Legend

Another new face sticking around for the entire season is Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano). Zano has also been cast as a series regular, and viewers will meet Nate in the opening scene of the season two premiere. Nate is a historian whose grandfather was Commander Steel. In the comics, Nate becomes Steel/Citizen Steel, a member of the Justice League of America, although there's no word on if Zano will get to portray the superhero his character is fated to become. As of the premiere, he has no powers and is just a historian. In his own words, he's a "time detective."

While he joins the team onboard the Waverider in the premiere, he isn't a full-fledged Legend just yet, and he'll become desperate to prove that he should be part of the team. However, he has a secret that he shares with his grandfather that "might make it difficult."


The Legion of Doom

To balance out all the new heroes inhabiting the series, there is going to be quite the formidable villain team-up this season as well. Legends of Tomorrow will introduce a historic supervillain team called the Legion of Doom, comprised of Malcolm Merlyn (Arrow's John Barrowman), Damien Darhk (Arrow's Neal McDonough), Reverse-Flash (The Flash's Matt Letscher) and Captain Cold (The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow alum Wentworth Miller).

“For season two of Legends, we decided that the perfect antagonist for TV’s first-ever team of superheroes would be TV’s first-ever team of supervillains, recruited from the ranks of Arrow and The Flash’s deadliest adversaries," Guggenheim said. "Being huge fans of the Challenge of the Superfriends, we’ve come to call this group our ‘Legion of Doom.’"

The First Crossover

While all the Greg Berlanti-produced shows in the Arrow-verse -- Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow -- will host a four-part crossover later this fall, the first crossover of the season actually happens in the Legends season premiere. Nate Heywood approaches Mayor Oliver Queen in Star City for help in locating the Legends after he discovered some changes happening to history, and since he figured out that Oliver was the Green Arrow, he is the only person who could help him.

"It's right out of the gate, right away, the first few seconds. You won't have to wait long to see it," executive producer Phil Klemmer said of the crossover. "I would recommend waiting to go to the bathroom until the first commercial break."

Jonah Hex's Return

After making a splash in season one as the iconic DC Comics antihero Jonah Hex, Johnathon Schaech will reprise his role in season two. Expect to see the Western sharpshooter appear in episode six.

"Johnathon did an absolutely spectacular job and we're all just dying to have him back on the show," Guggenheim said. "Just the other day in the writers room we were kicking around a really cool way to get him back on the show. We love that character, we love Johnathon's interpretation of that character."

Legends of Tomorrow airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

Jefe de Legends of Tomorrow habla en profundidad sobre la reinvención en la season 2
por Natalie Abrams 12 Octubre 2016 — 3:51 PM EDT

The Legends of Tomorrow have some big shoes to fill.

After destroying the Time Council, the Legends have tasked themselves with protecting history, ultimately ignoring a warning from Justice Society of America member Hourman (Patrick J. Adams) and getting scattered throughout history when DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns.

Lost in time, the Legends will need rescuing from Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), a historian whose grandfather was Justice Society of America member Commander Steel (Matthew MacCaull). “Nate comes in as a regular Joe, and we get to have the fun of watching him develop superpowers,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells EW, explaining that the character is part of the show’s attempt to reinvent itself in season 2.

Ultimately, the Legends will cross paths with the JSA, adding one of JSA’s own, Vixen (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), to their team. They’ll need the extra help when Arrow baddies Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) partner with The Flash’s Reverse-Flash (Matt Letscher) and Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) to form the Legion of Doom — all villains who are high on Sara’s (Caity Lotz) kill list! Below, Guggenheim teases what’s in store for season 2:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Talk about where season 2 is picking up.
MARC GUGGENHEIM: One of the things that we really wanted to do was reinvent the show and come up with a new concept for the show and a new raison d’etre for the team that would allow us to tell the kind of stories that we couldn’t always tell last year with Vandal Savage. Basically, we’re picking up six months after the events of episode 116, our season finale, and in that season finale, Rip had said that with the Time Masters out of commission as a result of the events of episode 115, that someone else needs to protect the timeline, and he appointed himself and the Legends signed on to participate with him.

So we pick up six months later, and the Legends are acting like time cops. They’re going around history, fixing aberrations, dealing with time pirates, all sorts of fun things. One of the things we found last year that we want to do more of is go to fun time periods like 1958, like the Old West, and have our team both get into trouble, because that’s what they do, but also fix some things in history, and that’s what they’ve been doing for six months. Something happens in the premiere that changes the game for them, and we’re going to end up with a shift in leadership away from Rip into the hands of someone new. It’ll be very organic, you will understand why it’s happening, but I don’t want to spoil it too much. I will say it’s fun to see the team wrestling with the new dynamic. It’s part and parcel of our goal this year of how much fun can we make the show?

What are aberrations in the world of Legends?
The question is: What did the Time Masters do? What are the Legends replacing? The answer is when a time pirate or some temporal anomaly happens, it causes a ripple effect in time and we call those aberrations. Basically, an aberration is the thing that’s wrong with history that needs to be fixed. That’s what the team has tasked themselves with doing is fixing these aberrations.

How do they end up lost in time?
I don’t want to say too much except Nazis.

Nate Heywood will be tasked with finding the Legends. What can you tease about him?
Fundamentally, we wanted to reinvent the show, and almost treat season 2 like a new season 1. When we were talking about it, we were like, “You know what we need? We need a character who is the audience.” We didn’t have that last year. We didn’t have a character who was our way in. We started off, as we always do, with just the character and then we figured out which superhero he was going to become. We started off with the idea that it’s a guy, just a normal guy, he doesn’t have superpowers. That differentiates him already from the other Legends, who arrived to the show with their powers and their tech. We really wanted to tell a story about a guy who comes into his own. Chris Fedak, one of our executive producers, came up with the idea: What if the Legends are lost in time and Nate has to get them all back? That gave us our whole season premiere. He’s a historian, so when we meet him, his superpower is knowing history and knowing all the different ways that history has been changed by the Legends over the last six months, because they’ve been going around fixing aberrations, but they’re the Legends, they’re f—-ups, so they don’t fix history without damaging it up a little bit. Nate pieces this all together. He’s like a time detective. In the process, he starts to figure out what’s become of the Legends.

He’s eventually going to become Citizen Steel and we’ll eventually get to see him meet Commander Steel, right?
Yeah. One of the great things about DC Comics, particularly the JSA, is this notion of what they call legacy characters, the idea that a mantle can be passed down from generation to generation. That’s certainly the case with the Citizen and Commander Steel characters, and it’s definitely the case with Nate and his grandfather. With Nate, our goal was we wanted to create a character who could usher the audience into the new season. We wanted someone who was not connected to the Time Masters, was not connected to our team. In many ways, the season premiere feels like a new pilot, and you come into it really through Nate’s perspective.

The other thing we wanted to do was tell essentially a secret origin story. We started off with a team fully formed. Nate is very different. Nate comes in as a regular Joe, and we get to have the fun of watching him develop superpowers, learn how to deal with them, and get his costume for the first time. It’s a little bit like the way, quite frankly, season 1 of The Flash was, with watching this new guy learn the ropes. He’s doing it in the context of this crazy team of people, as well as going all throughout history, and all these fun different time periods. We’re really excited.

The team will eventually be meeting the Justice Society. How will the Legends react to them?
The JSA exists in the 1940s, and we really wanted to play up this notion of they’re the greatest generation, that these guys are real superheroes. We’ve always said our Legends are screw-ups. So, our Legends, they’re messy. They get the job done, but it’s really by the skin of their teeth, and in contrast, the JSA, they do everything right. As one of the law partners I used to work for used to say, “They turn sharp corners.” Everything is done by the book, with precision. They’re the anti-Legends, and there’s a lot of comedy to be found in that as our team reacts to that, particularly Ray, who’s like, “This is the team I should be a part of. These guys are awesome. It’s a whole team of Boy Scouts, and how fantastic is that?” It’s a fun dynamic to play between the two teams, and of course, because they are two teams of superheroes, the very first thing they have to do is fight with each other. That’s required.

And there’s another team: What can you tease about the Legion of Doom, why they’ve come together and whether four uber-villains can work together well?
I’ll answer the last question first. The answer to can four uber-villains get along is probably not. I don’t think I’m really spoiling anything to say that. That said, that’s down the road. You’re going to see a slow building up of the Legion of Doom. It’s a very cool thing that we’re attempting here, which is we did the first sort of superhero team on television, and now we’re doing a team of super villains They all have different agendas. They’re brought together by Eobard Thawne, he’s the one that brings them together, and we’ll discover why Thawne, Speedster, the Reverse-Flash, a very impressive big bad in his own right, needs the help. That will come down the pike.

Does that have to do with Flashpoint?
I guess, I think technically not. Let’s put it that that way. Technically not.

What version of Captain Cold is this that’s part of the Legion of Doom? Is this before he became the hero we know, and how will that affect the team?
I don’t know if I want to say that just yet.

Let’s run through the characters: What’s in store for Sara this year?
As you can tell from our trailer, we are going to deal front and center with the fact that she is now coming into contact with the man who killed her sister, and it’s something that she is going to struggle with over the course of the season, because one of the things that she’s going to come to discover is that killing this guy is not as simple as she thought, and not even from the standpoint of he’s Damien Darhk. He’s a formidable guy — Damien Darhk has lived for 122 years and loomed very large within history. What will happen if she kills him? What will happen to history that she’s supposed to be, as a member of the Legends, charged with protecting?

We know that Laurel is going to be on Legends at some point. How will Sara react to seeing her again?
Don’t want to say, because we haven’t fully — we have a very cool idea as to how to bring Laurel onto Legends, but it’s still in that early, talking-about stage. It’s always hard to talk about stuff that is happening so much further out than where we currently are.

How about for Mick?
The fun thing about Rory is that he’s a blunt instrument. He’s pure id, and we’re really leaning into that this year. Dominic [Purcell] has just really embraced it, and we’re just having a great deal of fun with Rory this year. Part of the fun of Rory is seeing him deal with the fact that he’s no longer with Snart. He’s no longer the sidekick. He’s calling his own shots now, and part of that is wondering what he’s doing on the ship in the first place. He’s not a superhero. His partner’s dead. Why is he still sticking around? That’s something that we’re going to play around with over the course of the season. But we’re going to do it in a very sort of Mick Rory-appropriate way. In other words, you’re not going to have long scenes with Mick Rory contemplating his his position on the team. He’s going to handle it the way he handles anything, which is pure id.

How about for Ray?
Ray’s got a really fun arc this year. Ray starts off the season questioning his role on the team. He’s enjoying being a time cop. At the same time, he recognizes that he’s only a guy in a super-suit, and you take the super-suit away, what does he have? Does he even have a place on the team? He’s going to have a very surprising connection to Nate Haywood, and a lot of their stories in the beginning of season 2 really revolve around each other.

What about for Stein?
Something really big is going to happen to Stein that he probably will not discover until the crossover. But it’s going to be the result of things that he does in the first six episodes of season 2.

And for Jax?
Obviously he’s one half the Firestorm, and that’s all well and good, and we love Franz and Victor in scenes together, and we have no complaints about that. But one of our big to-do list items was to start crafting stories for Jax that didn’t always involve Stein or didn’t revolve around Stein. We wanted to give him an identity independent of his partnership with Stein, and part of that is he’s become the Scotty to the Waverider. He’s the engineer, he’s found a place for himself on the team by fixing and improving the ship, and I would say that episode 4 is probably the biggest Jax episode that we’ve done in the course of the series so far. Jay is coming into his own. He’s developing his own opinions on things, and those opinions are not always in line with what Stein wants to do. This season is very much about Jax coming into his own.

What’s going on with Rip?
We’ve got a very cool plan with Rip that I can’t talk about without spoiling the season premiere. Suffice it to say, the season premiere is a big deal. I will say overall with Rip, one of the things we really wanted to do this year is play into Arthur’s natural comedic chops, and that was hard to do last year, because Rip was carrying the weight of a dead wife and a dead son, and his mission was a dark mission of vengeance. The goal this year is to give Rip the opportunity to have more fun, and be the swaggering, cocksure, former Time Master that we know he can be without the burden of either vengeance or grief.

How different is this version of Vixen?
Very different. Look, we love Megalyn [E.K.], and we love the iteration of the character that she’s created both on CW Seed and on Arrow last year. We didn’t want to just replace her. Our goal with Vixen this year, once we knew Megalyn didn’t want to participate in Legends, was how do we do the character differently? The answer is that she’s a member of the JSA when we first meet her, so this iteration of Vixen is from the 1940s, and she has that 1940s sensibility. Unlike the rest of the JSA — spoiler alert — she’s going to end up joining our team. She brings a 1940s perspective to everything, and she’s a little bit like, “This isn’t how we used to do it at the JSA.” A lot of things she doesn’t approve of, especially Mick Rory — the idea that a thief, a murderer, and an arsonist could be recruited for this team is just anathema to her. It just doesn’t compute. There’s a lot of comedy to be found in that, and there’s also a lot of growth for her to go through as she realizes that maybe her place on the Legends is more natural than what she thought, that maybe she makes a better Legend than a member of the JSA.

Any other familiar faces returning this season?
You’re going to see Jonah Hex again. That was very high on our list of things that we wanted to do. No one else I’m prepared to talk about just yet.

What time periods might we be seeing this year?
Let’s see, we’re going to see the Old West again. We’re going to see the 1980s, the 1940s, the 1800s. We’re going to be going to France, Japan, Paris, and New York. We’re really jumping around all over the place. In the season premiere, we go the furthest back in time we’ve ever gone.

What can you say how Flashpoint will affect Legends?
With Legends, it’s a bit of a trickier thing, because at least in the early going, it’s very confusing — or at least to me — to have the Legends operating with changing history on their side, and then dealing with someone else changing history on a different show. So, in the early going, you won’t see much of a connect-up with Flashpoint. That’s not to say that there won’t be some consequences to Flashpoint down the road.

Victor Garber sobre la evolución de Firestorm y lo que la JSA aporta a la serie
Por Terri Schwartz 12 Octubre, 2016

DC's Legends of Tomorrow is coming back in a big way with Season 2. From a premiere that introduces Nick Zano's Citizen Steel and features an appearance from Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen to the upcoming debut of the Justice Society of America (including new series regular Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Vixen) to its quartet of recognizable bad guys in the Legion of Doom, the sophomore season of The CW series has a lot going for it.

In anticipation of Thursday's Season 2 premiere, I got on the phone to talk to Victor Garber about a more fun Season 2, what the new cast members bring to the show and what's in store for Dr. Martin Stein and Firestorm. He also opened up about his work with the charity Beyond Type 1 that raises awareness for Type 1 Diabetes.

IGN: I've had a chance to see the premiere and it's a real blast. What are some of the things that you guys are tweaking, changing and incorporating into Season 2 that you think are making the show stronger?

Victor Garber: Well, first of all, thank you. I'm really happy to hear that because I haven't seen it and I haven't really talked to anybody that had. It's nice to hear that you felt that way. I think it's a combination of many things. I think after the first season I think the writers had a better understanding of characters. I think we have a better understanding of the characters. Like anything, you hopefully improve and you grow. The dynamics change and I think that's a large part of it. I think there's also a kind of playful in this season that I think will permeate the shows, and I think that our fans will like that you picked up by watching.

It is fun. It should be fun. That's what this show is about. I think the personal, the dynamics between characters is explored in a more comprehensive way. There's more substance, because that, for me, is what's interesting about the show primarily. It's how do people interact even though they happen to be superheroes or have superpowers. It's the dynamic, the interaction between them that, for me, is what's compelling about the show and what I do.

IGN: What can you tell me about what you guys are exploring both as the one joint superhero team Firestorm and as your two individual characters Jax and Stein?

Garber: There's an ongoing evolution as Jefferson feels more powerful and more valid, and Stein relinquishes some of his power in terms of being the father figure in a way. It's hard for Stein because he's an arrogant fellow in many ways, and feels like he knows best. And sometimes he does, and a lot of times he doesn't. That's his journey this season, more realizing, 'Oh, maybe I need to re-think this a little bit.' I think the writing is exploring that and I think that will be an ongoing challenge for Stein because people don't change that easily. Sometimes there are residual things that just keep coming up. That's true of their relationship. However, that said, I think they're more bonded emotionally this season than in the first season because they've grown to really card about each other. I have this scene coming up that I really feel like we connected in a deeper way than we ever had on the show. That was wonderful.

IGN: You guys have some new faces added to the mix. What are you most excited about bringing in Maisie and Nick as Vixen and Citizen Steel, and then obviously you have the JSA as well?

Garber: There are a lot of people aren't there? Nick and Maisie are just delightful. They're a lovely, lovely addition to our show. We loved our first season and now we're just enjoying this new energy and they're really exactly the right mix, I think, for this season. And the JSA meeting them was hilarious. The competition factor between the two teams [is fun], and the Legends always falling a little short, frankly. That was fun to examine. Egos. A lot of egos in these scripts. I think that's going to be fun for audiences to navigate through with us.

IGN: On the flipside, this season you're fighting the Legion of Doom, four villains who we've come to know pretty well at this point. What are your thoughts of them as the primary villains this season? Did it seem like the right fit to have a team of villains against a team of time traveling superheroes?

Garber: I think it's more fun, frankly. They can spread out and deal with different people at different times. The whole team isn't involved always in the same pursuit. It makes it more fun to shoot because you're not always in a scene with eight people and that can be very time consuming and tedious. You can go off and pair off and have these relationships and go off with smaller groups. It's more fun for the audience, too, frankly.

IGN: I do want to talk to you about your CrowdRise charity organization with your work Beyond Type 1. I feel like people probably don't know that you suffer from diabetes and it's something you've been living with for a while. Why is this an organization important for you to support, and what would you like to tell people who don't know much about diabetes as sort of the most important things for them to understand about this?

Garber: Well, I would like people to go to my Instagram page, which is the only social media that I do. And on the last posting, there's a charity challenge from Revlon. we can win a million dollars if people just give like 10 dollars, you know, it would be so helpful. Type 1 diabetes is different than people think of as diabetes. Commercials you see on television are almost always specifically for Type 2 diabetes so I want people to know there's a difference and what that means.

I was diagnosed at 12 years old and I've been insulin dependent, so I have to take insulin. I can't just, with this lifestyle, eradicate these symptoms. And children everywhere from six months to four to five years old are being diagnosed and there's a stigma in schools with some of these kids and bullying. Beyond Type 1 is a website and an organization that is to help educate and to help support these kids who are dealing with this life changing disease. I'm a face to say you can achieve what you want to achieve and still be a Type 1 diabetic. It's challenging. We need more education and more support and we need a cure.

IGN: What is the stigma that you find is more frequently brought up?

Garber: Well, when kids in school are wearing an insulin pump or have to test their blood, which they do, all day long, they get picked on. And I just want, I would like to be able to go into schools and talk to students. It's just like with anything that's different. Kids can be cruel. And I just think it's awareness that needs to be explained and kids have to understand what this is. Also for these kids to feel like they're not different and they should be included in things. So it's an ongoing process, but this organization Beyond Type 1 is very, a really great one. They're all, all the Juvenile Diabetes Association is also great. People need to be aware of what this disease is.

Nick Zano sobre el ser el chico nuevo e un grupo de superhéroes viajeros del tiempo
Por Damian Holbrook 12 Octubre, 2016 9:55 am

The time-traveling superhero series (re)boots up for Season 2 with Nick Zano joining the action as historian Nate Heywood. Just don’t expect him to spill any spoilers. “[Executive producers] Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Phil Klemmer laid out the journey in a very veiled way because everything on Legends is very secretive,” Zano says with a laugh.

Whatever their plan, it was enough to convince the L.A.-based Minority Report alum to move to Vancouver just as he and his girlfriend were about to have a child. “Not to give anything away, but when we rescue two people in the opener, I had just found out her water broke,” Zano reveals. “If you watch that scene, you can see I am completely not present and thinking, ‘I have to get out of here to the delivery of my baby!’” (The couple had a boy.)

As if handling new-dad duties isn’t enough, the actor also has his hands full saving our heroes after they go missing amid a series of strange shifts in history. Good thing Nate is able to secure the assistance of Arrow’s Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), who agrees to join the hunt for teammate Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) and Co., who have been scattered in different historical eras.

Once they do—through a parade of cleverly conceived time jumps—Zano feels Nate will next have to earn his place on the [time-traveling] Waverider ship by proving that a normal human can roll with this super-powered crowd. “Nate’s the odd man out,” Zano says. “This is all new, and he’s doing his best. But he’s got some things going against him that prevent him from fitting in right away.”

He also has an advantage: It will be revealed that Heywood’s grandfather is classic DC Comics character Commander Steel, and Zano hints that superpowers just might run in the family. “I think the revelations start kicking off in Episode 2,” Zano says. “And by the third, the ride really starts.”

Victor Garber sobre las sorpresas de la Season 2, la usencia de Rip Hunter y la Justice Society
Por Christina Radish 13 Oct, 2016

The CW series Legends of Tomorrow is back for Season 2, and after the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the exposure of the corrupt Time Masters, it’s up to the Legends to protect the timeline from changes to history that lead to potentially catastrophic consequences. And they will soon cross paths with the Justice Society of America, or JSA, who do not see things the same way as the Legends and therefore want nothing to do with them or their help.

During this exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Victor Garber (who plays Professor Martin Stein, one half of the meta-human Firestorm, along with Jefferson “Jax” Jackson) talked about how the Legends are navigating through things without the Time Masters, that Martin Stein has been humbled by what he experienced in Season 1, that everybody on the team has a purpose and a strength, meeting Albert Einstein, being faced with the JSA’s way of doing things, and how cool the upcoming four show cross-over is, with Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl. He also talked about his charity work for Type-1 diabetes and the importance of raising awareness.

Collider: This team had a lot of ups and downs in Season 1, as they were getting to know each other and getting a feel for how they could best work together. Are they stronger together, as a result, and do they have a better handle on what they’re dealing with now?

VICTOR GARBER: They’re navigating through. We have Nate Heywood, played by Nick Zano, and we have Maisie Richardson-Sellers, who’s playing Vixen, so the energy has been changed. We’re finding our way, but in the first episode, there are a lot of problems, and what else would you expect? We’ve got Nazis. We’ve got zombies. We’ve got everything. I think it’s a fun episode, and it’s a great way for people to start and to get reacquainted with everybody. We’re having fun doing it.

How do you think Martin Stein has most changed, after everything that he experienced, last season?

GARBER: I think he’s been humbled, a great deal, although he’s always prone to thinking he knows best. That’s the dilemma for the character, but for me, it’s fun to play. He’s an arrogant fellow, but he also has a heart, so it’s about balancing that. There’s a lot that I can’t really talk about that’s going to happen this season, that will challenge him in both areas.

When we find the team this season, the Time Masters are gone and preserving history is left to the Legends. How are they handling all of that? Have they been doing that job well, or is it a bigger task than they could have imagined?

GARBER: I’ll just say that they’re not doing it that well. Everyone has a different idea about what preserving history should really be about and how much it will change, if we do one thing, and what the repercussions of that are. That’s always the discussion or argument with the team, and I think that’s what makes it fun to watch. It’s about how they’ll navigate through this.

It seems like the members of this team have learned to work together a little better. They’ve had six months working together, since we last saw them, and it seems like they’ve found their place a little bit more. Do you think that it took some of them time to find their groove, or did not having Vandal Savage and the Time Masters looming over them to find their own footing?

GARBER: I think that when you’ve got that many personalities on one team, it’s going to change every moment. You’ve got Mick Rory, who is the outcast, really, and yet he becomes, in some ways, one of the most valuable. And then, you’ve got Stein, who is a professor that really just happens to be there because of his genetic disorder. Everybody has a purpose and a strength. I think it just continues to be that sort of drama. We don’t have Rip Hunter for awhile, and that changes the dynamic completely. That’s what this show is about, as much as anything. The powers, and all of that, are really interesting to the fans, and we all love to watch the special effects, but really, to me, it’s the dynamic of the human interaction that’s really interesting.

In the absence of Rip Hunter, it seems only natural that Stein would be the one to step in and take on the leadership role, but how different is the reality of that than what he expects?

GARBER: There’s a lot that happens and I don’t really want to spoil it, but he’s not as equipped as he thinks he is and he learns a lot about that, which is fun.

Jax is getting a bit more creative when it comes to Firestorm and what they can do together. How has that dynamic evolved, both as individuals and when they come together as Firestorm?

GARBER: He’s learning that he does have a say, and that does change things. It challenges Stein’s seniority, and that’s a part of what we explore this season. When Stein has to acknowledge that Jax has a better idea, that’s not easy for him.

In the premiere episode, Martin Stein gets to meet Albert Einstein, which must be very exciting for him.

GARBER: Yeah, he couldn’t believe that was happening. And he was actually played by an old friend of mine, John Rubinstein, so that was a delight for us to be reunited. I’ve known him since we were Broadway kids, and he was brilliant in the role. That was really fun to play, and it was really fun to act with him.

Does Stein fancy them as like-minded individuals, or is it more of an admiration and respect?

GARBER: Of course, he feels connected to him because they understand each other, but he’s in awe. This is one of the greatest minds, ever. I think Stein is in awe, and also just so starstruck, really.

Along with the Legends, we’re going to see the Justice Society of America this season, who are from a very different era. How different do they approach things, compared to the Legends, and does Stein see the benefit of their approach?

GARBER: Not right away. There’s a lot of descension and tension between them. In a lot of ways, it becomes a competition. There are that many more egos involved, and that can always be problematic. Of course, they find a way to work together, but it takes a little time.

Aside from Jax, who Stein has developed a pretty great dynamic with, who would you say he has the most respect for, on this team of Legends that he’s working with?

GARBER: Each person shows something different, in every challenge that they come across, but he and Sara have an interesting dynamic in this season. I’ve been really enjoying that, enormously. He sees her in a much more comprehensive way than he did, in the beginning, as with all of them. Over time, you get to know people in different ways. His bond with Jefferson just becomes stronger and stronger, even though they certainly know how to go at each other, which is part of the fun.

How cool is it to be a part of this four-show world with Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow? Is the opportunity to have so many different cool characters cross-over and get to interact with them just awesome fun?

GARBER: Yes! To be in the room with everybody, which is what’s just happened for me on these four crossovers, has been really quite astonishing and thrilling for me. I think it’s unique in television, and I think it will be a great thrill for people who are fans of the show.

You’re also doing some charity work for Type-1 diabetes. Why is that so important to you?

GARBER: I am a Type-1 diabetic. Beyond Type-1 is the organization, which you can find at http://www.beyondtype1.org, or you can go to my Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/therealvictorgarber, which is the only social media that I do, and I’ve posted the information for the Million Dollar Challenge that Revlon has started. If you just donate $10, it would mean so much to me and to the millions of Type-1 diabetics. Unless you are Type-1 or you know someone who is, you don’t really understand the difference between Type-1 and Type-2, and there’s a vast difference. And so, we’re trying to get the word out about what this disease is and why it needs attention. There are kids in school who are being bullied because of it, and people need to be educated. There also needs to be a support system, particularly for mothers and fathers who are dealing with an infant or a juvenile diabetic. It’s really traumatic. So, I’m here as the face of the older Type-1 diabetic. I’ve had it since I was 12 years old, which is a long time. So, I would appreciate anybody reaching out and helping because we would like to win this million dollars. It would be very helpful.

Legends of Tomorrow airs on Thursday nights on The CW.

Productor de 'Legends Of Tomorrow' adelanta la Season 2
Por Jolie Lash 13 Octubre, 2016 9:56 AM PDT

"DC's Legends of Tomorrow" returns for its second season on Thursday night with a new twist – the Legends are missing!

Sara Lance, Ray Palmer, Mick Rory and the gang are nowhere to be found, and a man by the name of Nate (Nick Zano) will turn to Mayor Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) for help in locating them.

But, finding the history-protecting Legends isn't the only task at hand. Set to emerge in the new season is the Legion of Doom – Damien Darhk, Reverse Flash, Captain Cold and Malcolm Merlyn -- who will bring trouble for the team.

Ahead of the show's return, Access Hollywood spoke with Executive Producer Phil Klemmer to learn more.

AccessHollywood.com: How much Oliver Queen are we getting [in the premiere episode]? And, by the way, whose idea was it to get Stephen [Amell in the episode]?
Phil Klemmer: Well, the beauty is we do share a creator and we do share office space. ... Obviously he's got his show of his own, but when it comes to the crossover, you're pretty much going to get a little bit of everybody. Yeah, so we will be seeing Oliver again then. And, yeah, it's great seeing Nick Zano and Stephen sharing the – I mean, it's just bizarre that we decided to start our show without actual 'Legends' in it (laughs).

Access: What is your version of Nick's character, Dr. Nate, like? What kind of a guy is he? What would he be like if I met him in the lobby?
Phil: He's obviously a very handsome fellow and whenever I'm given an actor as handsome as that I feel immediately obliged to sort of undercut them with various psychological and physical maladies, because let's be honest, if you're too perfect, then you're just detestable. And so, he's a little bit off center. He's not the guy that he looks to be on the surface. He does have a little bit of a chip on his shoulder and we really wanted to tell an origin story for one of our heroes because we inherited all of our Legends, sort of not fully cooked, but they'd all undergone their sort of transformation. And we really wanted to be able to tell that first, like the first act of Spider-Man, when Spidey realizes that he's got powers, because that's the most fun is watching somebody go from being sort of underdog, sand in the face, wuss, to the guy who realizes, 'Oh my God. Now I can do all these cool things.' And then of course, they take it too far and they then have to learn … a lesson in hubris or responsibility with their powers. So yeah, that's who Nate is. He's the first like, humanist we have on board because he's a historian and the fact that there are no more Time Masters and our guys are kind of trying to tidy up the time stream from all variety of time pirates and such, it helps to have a guy whose a bit of a bookworm, [an] impossibly handsome bookworm, albeit.

Access: The Legends are missing at the start of the first episode. Obviously we're going to need to find them … Is that something that occurs in the first episode? Does it get resolved very quickly?
Phil: It occurs in the first episode. It's partially resolved. Not all of our heroes are as fortunate as others in their sort of dispersal and part of the mystery will be with us for the better part of the season. I don't want to name names, but yeah, it's a funny thing. I have to say, it's got the weirdest chronology of any TV episode I've ever done because it's got parts that are happening in the present and it has parts that are happening in the World War II era and it has bits that go back to -- we have prehistory and Renaissance and [more].

Access: I’m curious if, like last season, there's going to be one central thing that the Legends are trying to do in the second season? In the first season, it was kill Vandal Savage
Phil: We realized that that made it fairly linear and what we really wanted this season was [for] it to be much more sort of like amorphous. And there are no Time Masters, there's no immortal bad guy and so they are trying to protect history, but it's not always clear what that means. Obviously, we've sort of announced our Legion of Doom, so there will be a big bad that presents itself, but even their agenda isn't quite so cut and dried. And, that's really what we wanted to play with this season is just allowing our team to have like a little bit more fun -- like to lean into the wish fulfillment of traveling through time instead of battling a comic book bad guy. Getting to encounter historical figures or marquee historical periods. Giving everybody chance to go to that one place -- we all have that place, like, 'I wish I were born in this time,' or 'If I could meet this one person,' and then of course the fun is realizing that the person you want to have dinner with is a complete a-hole or the period that you thought you'd want to live in is completely repellant.

Access: Let's talk about the Legion of Doom. ... Is there one that's worse than the other?
Phil: We wanted to make sure that … everybody was like the emotional Kryptonite for like a member of our team because last year, stakes were so epic -- and obviously Rip had a relation to Vandal Savage with his family being killed -- but for the rest of our gang, it was just like he was kind of an abstraction. And so, with our bad guys, we wanted to give our characters previous personal interactions and real beefs with these bad guys and then, having a group of bad guys, also you have the fun of they're a den of thieves. They don't trust each other, and so you have this sort of very slippery agenda between our bad guys and they trust each other marginally more than they trust our Legends.

"DC's Legends of Tomorrow" airs Thursday at 8/7c on The CW.

Marc Guggenheim adelanta una segunda temporada más desenfadada y divertida
Por Jacob Bryant 13 Octubre, 2016 | 01:11PM PT

“Legends of Tomorrow” spent its whole first season with one goal: tracking down Vandal Savage (Casper Crump), so the show spent the entire season hopping to places that Savage was either at, or would soon be at. By season’s end, Captain Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) had stopped Savage, avenged the death of his wife and child, and exposed his employers — the Time Masters — for helping Savage. All in a days work for him and his misfit team.

“We felt that our concept for last year — with that date with destiny in 2061 where the world is taken over by Vandal Savage, coupled with the death of Rip’s family — cast this pall over the series in a way that prevented our characters from doing what they do best,” says “Legends of Tomorrow” executive producer Marc Guggenheim. “In examining last year, and looking at what worked and what didn’t, we were committed to come up with a conceit that allowed us to have more fun, and feel lighter on it’s feet.”

Here, Guggenheim speaks with Variety about what to expect in Season 2, bringing in the Justice Society of America and more…

This season, you don’t have to spend the entire time chasing around Savage. Is it nice to be freed up a bit from that?

Oh god, it’s so freeing. The show benefits enormously from the new conceit. We re-engineered the show to do what it did best, and it’s become a much more fun show to write and produce, and I think that fun shows up on the screen.

How are the Legends handling being, essentially, the only Time Masters left?

One of the things we established last year is that the Legends are an incredibly misfit band of would-be heroes. Our goal is to come up with stories where the team can screw up and still save the day despite of it.

You’re also bringing in the Justice Society (JSA) this season. How did the decision to include them now get made?

It came about through a conversation I had with Geoff Johns [DC Comics’ president and CCO] at the end of last season. We had the idea to end Season 1 with another Waverider crashing down in front of the Legends, and another superhero stepping out. We were trying to figure out which superhero from the DC universe we could use — which is how our partnership with DC works — they’re the people in charge of saying “this character’s available, this character’s not available” — and Geoff suggested Rex Tyler, and what was particularly exciting, was he suggested Rex say, “I’m Rex Tyler of the Justice Society of America.” I went to Greg Berlanti, and he immediately took to the idea.

The JSA is a bit less known than other teams in the DC Universe. What character are you most excited for viewers to see, especially those who may not be familiar with the comics?

We’ve all found ourselves really enamored with Obsidian (Dan Payne, Lance Henriksen). As the visual effects come in, that character has really, no pun intended, taken flight. A lot of times, with these superhero shows, you don’t fully know the potential of the character until you see them with all their bells and whistles. They came together really nicely for Obsidian, and added another dimension to the character.

The JSA isn’t the only new team you’re including — the Legion of Doom also plays a part, and includes characters from past seasons of “The Flash” and “Arrow.” What’s it like to be able to draw from a stable of established villains?

Something that surprised us, and wasn’t originally planned, was us looking up from our foxhole and realizing there are a lot of characters that have been introduced between “The Flash” and “Arrow” that are really cool and played by great actors. That turned out to be enough to field the team of Legends and it ended up being the same for the Legion of Doom. It goes to show how rich this universe has become. It’s given us a chance to introduce all these heroes and villains, and to get them to be played by incredible actors. We’re very fortunate.

That’s a lot of teams and characters this season. How are you going about handling them?

We bring the JSA into an episode, and that episode is very much about them, and we’re feathering in the Legion of Doom. You’ll see them come in over the course of the season. We’re being very mindful not to throw a million characters at you all at once. It’s being done with a careful roll-out.

I’m curious, as protectors of time, are the Legends aware of The Flash mucking around with his timeline and creating Flashpoint?

Not yet. The things that are happening in 2016, in the here and now, aren’t affecting our Legends outside of time. Suffice it to say, the Legends will eventually find out about Flashpoint.

“Legends of Tomorrow” returns for Season 2 tonight at 9 p.m. on the CW.

El productor Marc Guggenheim ha compartido en su cuenta de twitter el título y los créditos del octavo episodio de la S2 de "Legends Of Tomorrow":




https://twitter.com/mguggenheim/status/ ... 4868363264


El episodio 2.08 tiene por título "The Chicago Way", está escrito por por Sarah Nicole Jones & Ray Utarnachitt, y dirigido por Ralph Hemecker.

Cuando Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, y Legends of Tomorrow se reúnan para el próximo y épico cuádruple crossover de esta temporada, se enfrentarán con su más duro reto hasta la fecha: 'The Dominators'.

En los cómics, específicamente en "Invasion!", los Dominators son aliens avanzados tecnológicamente que forman una coalición con otras razas para invadir la Tierra y eliminar la amenaza que constituyen los impredecibles metahumanos.

“Diré que su objetivo está relacionado muy cercanamente a lo que se estableció en los cómics, y tiene que ver con los metahumanos,” le cuenta Marc Guggenheim a EW. “Es muy, muy fiel a los cómics.”

La llegada de los Dominators forzará a los superhéroes del Arrowverso a hacer equipo para lo que Guggenheim llama su crossover “más ambicioso”. “Pienso que es masivamente diferente. El primer crossover que hicimos eran dos historias separadas que tenían una ligera conexión tangencial la una con la otra. Luego, el año pasado, el crossover que hicimos era una historia de dos partes que contaba una historia completa con un principio, una mitad y un final en Flash y Arrow, pero que también tenía la función de asentar a Legends of Tomorrow.”

“Este año,” continúa Guggenheim, “estamos haciendo de lejos el crossover más ambicioso que jamás hayamos hecho. Básicamente es una enorme historia en tres partes que también trae a Supergirl, así es que está cruzando a nuestras cuatro series. Cuenta una enorme y épica historia de película. No está estableciendo ningún otro spin-off, es tan sólo una enorme y grandilocuente acción. También hay algunos momentos realmente significativos de algunos personajes. Hay muchos argumentos, particularmente diría que en Flash y Legends, que fructifican en el crossover. Es de lejos la cosa más ambiciosa que jamás hayamos intentado. Diría que es de lejos la cosa más ambiciosa que nadie en la cadena haya intentado. Es una locura totalmente.”


Adicionalmente, BleedingCool nos informa que el crossover está usando el título provisional de “Invasion”, como su historia homóloga de los cómics, que Steel conseguirá su look más familiar de los cómics de manos de Ray Palmer y que esta versión del héroe parece transformarse en realidad en acero en lugar de ser un tipo de cyborg. También parece que las "Legends Of Tomorrow" irá atrás en el tiempo para capturar e interrogar a un Dominator que invadió la tierra y fue detenido por el ejército de los EEUU.

2.04 "Abominations" (03/11/16): SUPERVIVENCIA — Cuando las Legends descubren una aberración del tiempo en 1863, se encuentran a sí mimos luchando por la supervivencia durante la Guerra Civil con los soldados Confederados que han sido convertidos en zombies. Con el resultado de la Guerra Civil pendiendo en equilibrio, Jax (Franz Drameh) debe participar en una temeraria misión yendo a una plantación de esclavos con Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers). Mientras tanto, Sara (Caity Lotz) empieza a sentir la carga de las decisiones que tiene que tomar como líder, y Ray (Brandon Routh) lidia por encontrar su propósito en el equipo. Victor Garber, Dominic Purcell y Nick Zano también aparecen. Michael Allowitz dirige el episodio escrito por Marc Guggenheim & Ray Utarnachitt (#204).

El fallecido antihéroe Leonard Snart “regresará” a "Legends of Tomorrow" en la mideseason finale de la serie de la CW, según se ha revelado durante un evento de prensa.

“Veréis a Wentworth Miller de vuelta en ‘Legends” en la mideason finale, episodio 2.08”, dice Guggenheim.

Como previamente se había anunciado, la icónica y malvada 'Legion of Doom' estará molestando a las Legends y a la JSA esta temporada, y estará formada por los ya revelados Damien Darhk y Eobard Thawne aka Reverse-Flash (interpretados por Neal McDonough y Matt Letscher), junto al alter ego de Snart (el Capitán Cold) y el amigo/enemigo de siempre de 'Arrow' Malcolm Merlyn (quien hará su debut en "Legends of Tomorrow" en el Episodio 2.08).

Interpretado por Wentworth Miller, quien ahora tiene un acuerdo como regular en todas las series de superhéroes de la CW, Snart sacrificó su vida al final de la S1 de "Legends of Tomorrow", así es que el 'Capitán Cold' que veremos como parte de la 'Legion of Doom' es muy seguramente otra encarnaciñon anterior del personaje.


http://tvline.com/2016/10/18/legends-of ... n-of-doom/

Durante un evento de prensa que se ha celebrado esta semana, Marc Guggeheim estuvo hablando sobre el episodio 100 de "Arrow" (que es la segunda parte del evento del cuádruple crossover de la DCTV de la CW de este año) y ha dado más detalles sobre el por qué se producirá el crossover y cómo encajará 'Supergirl' en él.

El productor confirma que el Ep.100 contará con Damien Darhk y Malcolm Merlyn entre las muchas caras que regresarán, que incluyen a Moira y Robert Queen, Deathstroke y Laurel Lance.

“Aún no he visto el episodio totalmente editado, pero tiene algunos momentos increíblemente icónicos. Es una carta de amor a la serie, que se inspira mucho en todos los 99 episodios previos. Todo el mundo que pudimos tener en el episodio desde el punto de vista del calendario, está en el episodio. Incluso la gente que no tuvimos tener, por conflictos de calendario, está representada. Al mismo tiempo, tienes a Flash y Supergirl; eso es una enorme cantidad de diversión. Ciertamente los nuevos reclutas también juegan un papel muy grande, un papel importante, en el episodio. Estoy realmente emocionado con ello”, afirma el productor.

¿Y cómo llegará Kara Danvers al Arrowverso?

“El año pasado, Supergirl estableció que Flash era capaz de ir a lo que llamo la Tierra-CBS, y es razonable que, con la apropiada tecnología de las fisuras, el reverso puede ocurrir”.

En el crossover, los héroes se unirán para luchar contra los 'Dominators': “Una vez que los héroes se dan cuenta de que están luchando contra alienígenas, deciden que necesitan a un alienígena de su lado. Afortunadamente, Barry conoce a una realmente agradable. No creo que sea un gran shock que entre Barry y Cisco, y todas sus experiencias con la Tierra-2 y el multiverso, que puedan sacarla de Tierra-CBS”, dice Guggenheim.

De hecho, el crossover empezará al final de un episodio de "Supergirl", donde Cisco (Carlos Valdes) y Barry (Grant Gustin) enlistan la ayuda de Kara. “Algunos lo llaman cuádruple crossover porque involucra a cuatro series; mi úlcera requiere que yo lo llame un crossover de tres partes. La historia que se cuenta tiene un principio, una mitad y un final: un principio en Flash, una mitad en Arrow, y un final en Legends. Pero Supergirl forma mucha parte de todo, así es que estamos cruzando nuestras cuatro series — cuatro series en tres partes.”

Pero el mayor reto al que se han enfrentado en el crossover es el contar la historia en el episodio 100 de "Arrow":

“El reto fue que sólo teníamos 42 minutos, y es la parte de en medio de una historia de tres partes, y al mismo tiempo es el episodio 100, y, Dio, cuando se reveló la noticia de que el episodio 100 iba también a ser también el episodio del crossover, la gente iba y venía en mi twitter y en el de Greg Berlanti, en este caso, pienso que de forma muy positiva. La gente no quería sentir como que el crossover estaba apropiándose de lo que debería de ser un episodio realmente seminal y un momento seminal de la serie de Arrow, lo que pienso que es maravilloso. Greg vino con una idea que realmente nos permite tener nuestro pastel y comérnoslo también.”
