Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?

The Flash And Arrow Spinoff May Finally Have A Real Title This Time

A report on Tuesday indicates that Shipp was probably not too far off during his Q&A session. To differentiate from TNT's Legends, it looks like the CW may be rolling with Legends of Tomorrow.

In the world of modern TV spinoffs, sometimes the name can be just as important as the subject matter involved. When it comes to the upcoming heroes-and-villains offspring of Arrow and The Flash, one unofficial name has joined another, as the latest rumored title for the star-studded spinoff appears to be Legends. Will that be the one that sticks?

The potential reveal comes from the star of both the modern Flash and the 1990s Flash, John Wesley Shipp, who gave an amusing and spirited Q&A at the Cape Comic Con 2015 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. What’s more, he doesn’t say it as if it’s a reveal, but almost too matter-of-factly. When asked about how deep into the Allen family storyline the show might go, Shipp says that producer Andrew Kreisberg & Co. have been planning everything out from every angle, which leads to this:
You guys know about Legends?…Firestorm…Victor Garber’s gonna be on it. Wentworth Miller. Captain Cold. They’re doing 13 episodes of that.

So, not only does he seemingly put Legends out there as the official title, he says that it’s already being planned for 13 episodes, which is a little more than half of the season orders for Arrow and The Flash have been. At this point, he’s the only one saying those things, so we’re taking it with a grain of salt.

The first tentative title the spinoff had was The Atom, which made it sound like the show was centered on Brandon Routh’s high-flying superhero, but Kreisberg soon shot that name down, saying it wasn’t real. Legends actually has ties to the DC Universe, though, as it was a major crossover event following the classic Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline in the mid-1980s. That one also had a slew of other heroes involved, so that would be a great hint at even more major comic characters hitting the small screen.

Something that might butt heads with the name Legends is the fact that TNT already has the Sean Bean-starring series of the same name, which will get its Season 2 later this year. Now, the producers could always choose to go with DC’s Legends or something like that, following in the footsteps of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel’s Daredevil. But that’s still a little too close.

SpoilerTV has learned that the spin-off for The Flash and Arrow, which is currently in development at The CW, has tentatively been titled "The Atom". This title is not final and maybe be changed before the show goes into production.

Arrow/Flash Superhero Team-Up Spinoff In Works At CW

Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller, Caity Lotz Star


EXCLUSIVE: DC Comics superheroes are uniting in a potential new drama series at the CW, a spinoff from hits Arrow and The Flash that will feature several fan-favorite recurring actors/characters from both shows. I have learned that the network has teamed with Arrow creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim for a project eyed for next season toplined by Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Wentworth Miller and Caity Lotz.

The untitled project, now in development, is described as a superhero team-up show. Routh, Miller and Garber will reprise their popular DC Comics characters — Arrow‘s Ray Palmer/The Atom (Routh), Flash villain Leonard Snart/Captain Cold (Miller), and Flash‘s Dr. Martin Stein (Garber). Because her Arrow character Sara Lance was killed off, with her sister Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) taking over as the Black Canary, it is unclear whether Lotz will play the same or new superhero.

The project is in early stages of development, so there is a possibility for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new spinoff. Additionally, in a tidbit that should get fans fired up, I have learned the new project will include three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series.

CW's new Flash-Arrow spin-off to honor the 'great team-up movies'


“For me, it honors all of the great team up movies, whether it’s Ocean’s Eleven or whether it’s the superhero books,” Berlanti tells EW. “That’s what it’s about. If you go back to the old westerns, there would be The Lone Gunman, but there would also be The Magnificent Seven. It’s very much in the spirit of those kinds of movies and shows.”

Berlanti—who is also executive-producing CBS’ Supergirl pilot with Kreisberg, Schechter and Ali Adler—stresses that the new project would be quite different than what we’re used to. “I only want to do them when I know that they’ll feel distinct from the other shows we’re doing,” he says. “This is really its own thing.”

One of the main burning questions after the project’s announcement was why Robbie Amell was missing from the cast list, considering he makes up the other half of Firestorm, Ronnie Raymond. Unfortunately, it sounds like bad news could be on the horizon as Berlanti admits there is a particular reason for his absence, but “I can’t say why.”

Casting details of 3 other characters (plus TVLine's guesses) -

“THE TRAVELER” | Described as a “Han Solo-esque rogue who gets by with his charm, this hero hails from the future, and has journeyed back in time on a secret mission. His razor-sharp wit hides the pain of a man who has lived through serious conflict. He also harbors many secrets, always leaving both his teammates and the audience unsure of his true allegiances.

Quite Possibly Is Rip Hunter, who first debuted in 1959 in the pages of DC Comics’ series Showcase and has popped up in continuity over the years. This Time Master has revealed in the past that “Rip Hunter” isn’t his real name – it’s an alias he uses so that his enemies can’t thwart his future efforts by killing him when he is a helpless infant in the past!

But Could Also Be Booster Gold — though he appeared in an episode of Smallville (played by Days of Our Lives‘ Eric Martsolf), and it’s been said the new characters have never been featured on a live-action show before — or Time Traveler, a powerful villain who’s gone up against the Legion of Super-Heroes.

“FEMALE WARRIOR” | This twentysomething Latina is pretty but unassuming, book smart and socially awkward by day. But by night, when she hears the cry of battle, her fury is ignited and she becomes a fierce warrior — so much so, that sometimes she can become a threat to others.

Quite Possibly Is a cross between Fury aka Helena Kosmatos (pictured), an Amazon heroine empowered by the ancient Furies, and Yolanda Montez, who assumed the role of Wildcat from her godfather, Ted Grant.

But Could Also Be Pantha aka Rosabelle Mendez, a short-lived member of the New Titans, or Tarantula aka Catalina Marie Flores, who hails from the pages of Nightwing.

“MYSTERY HERO” | An African-American male in his twenties will fill the role of a regular, street smart guy who unexpectedly gains powers, and then, as part of the team, regularly quips about the insanity of the situations.

Quite Possibly Is Virgil Ovid Hawkins, a high school student who was splashed with experimental chemicals after being caught in a gang war. Virgil emerged with electromagnetic powers, which he uses to fight crime as the superhero Static.

But Could Also Be Black Lightning (aka Jefferson Pierce) or Black Vulcan

Rumours are Robbie Amell is waiting to see if he gets some Movie roles after the success of The Duff.

The Arrow/Flash Spinoff Casts Ciara Renée As Hawkgirl

EXCLUSIVE: It has been a fast rise for young actress Ciara Renée, who graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a degree in music theater in May 2013. Since then, she made her Broadway debut in Big Fish and replaced Patina Miller as Leading Player in the revival of Pippin. Last fall, she made her TV debut with a guest shot on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU. And now, she has landed a lead in CW’s proposed Arrow/Flash spinoff series, playing the role of Kendra Saunders aka Hawkgirl.

In the new series, Saunders is a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning her the moniker Hawkgirl.

And another one:

In another bit of casting news from the planned Arrow / The Flash spinoff, the show has cast a former time-traveler to play a time-traveler. Arthur Darvill who is best known as Rory Williams in Doctor Who has just been cast as Rip Hunter.

One of the things constantly mentioned with this new series is that Caity Lotz is in it but no one is sure of what character she is set to play with her Arrow character of Sara Lance / Canary having been killed. But with the edition of a Time Master such as Rip Hunter, the answer could be something as simple as the characters in the series are pulled from different points in the timeline… so Sara Lance from before her death… and maybe Firestorm from a point where Stein merges with Jason Rusch instead of Ronnie Raymond since Robbie Amell is not locked into the series.

I like the look of Hawkgirl as well :shifty: :wub:

Young British actor Franz Drameh rounds out the main cast of the CW’s Arrow/Flash spinoff. He will play Jay Jackson, a former high school athlete whose pro career was derailed by injury. Now making ends meets as an auto mechanic, Jay will come to have a surprising affiliation to the S.T.A.R. Labs crew. The project’s producers are keeping the character’s superhero identity a mystery. Online speculation about Jay’s alter ego has ranged from Static to Black Lightning and Black Vulcan.

Starts in Jan/Feb -

The CW unveiled its fall schedule on Thursday morning ahead of its upfront presentation, revealing that the highly anticipated “Arrow-“The Flash” spinoff “Legends of Tomorrow” (pictured above) will have to wait until midseason. It’ll join “The 100” and “Containment” (formerly “Cordon”) there.

http://www.thewrap.com/cw-new-season-sc ... -tomorrow/

“Legends of Tomorrow is part of the Arrow-Flash universe,” the CW president Mark Pedowitz said during an upfront press call Thursday morning. “They will live together as 3 shows and crisscross as needed.”

Pedowitz also confirmed the superhero identity of Legends cast member Caity Lotz, who played Sara Lance aka Black Canary on Arrow before being killed off earlier this season. She will play White Canary, as hinted by the costume the actress is wearing in the Legends‘ cast photo. Pedowitz described Legends as “a bit of Dirty Dozen and Redemption.” Per the show’s official description, “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?”

Wentworth Miller needs to do one new cold pun in every episode.
