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 ā one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself.

Legends of Tomorrow is expected to debut in 2016 as one of The CW’s mid-season shows. It’s not clear at this point how much crossover the show will have with Arrow and The Flash, or whether or not the characters that have crossed over will still recur in the parent series.
