In the race of his life, Barry ultimately gets the upper hand against Zoom and defeats his nemesis. But unable to celebrate victory, Barry makes a world-shaking decision and speeds back in time to the night his mother died to stop Reverse Flash from killing her, irrevocably changing his past and redetermining his future.

Information tidbits

>The main villains are Doctor Alchemy and Savitar (Todd Lasance).

I doubt Cisco is gay. Bi, maybe.

Legends of Tomorrow may be where they put all their gay characters, but my bet is actually on Alex Danvers.

ARROW

Official Synopsis

>Newly-appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With John Diggle back in the military and Thea Queen adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy, Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver, Felicity Smoak and Curtis Holt – but they’re no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow’s public defeat of Damien Darhk has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.

Information tidbits

>Season 5 will be the last season to feature flashback storylines.

>The CW has ordered 22 episodes for season 5.

LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

Official Synopsis

>After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new threat emerges, and Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), an unconventional and charming historian, is thrust into the action upon making a shocking discovery – the Legends are scattered throughout time.

>Nate must find a way to rescue the team of heroes and rogues, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer, who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to miniscule size as The Atom; Sara Lance, the White Canary, a trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein and Jefferson "Jax" Jackson, who together form the meta-human Firestorm; and Mick Rory, aka Heatwave, a career criminal. When the Legends encounter the Justice Society of America in the 1940's, Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), aka Vixen, joins the team. While the team reunites, a mystery looms – the fate of former captain Rip Hunter.

>Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations – unusual changes to history that spawn potentially catastrophic consequences. When Nate, the grandson of the leader of the JSA, Commander Steel, unexpectedly finds himself with powers, he must overcome his own insecurities and find the hero within himself. Ultimately, the Legends will clash with foes both past and present, to save the world from a mysterious new threat.

>Joss Whedon is rumored to be directing the musical crossover.

This fits.

>implying Dr. Horrible wasn't good and Whedon and NPH working on another singing villain together wouldn't be goat

I thought this was a porn parody poster

Information tidbits.

>The main villains are the Legion of Doom, formed by Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Damien Dahrk (Neal McDonough), Reverse Flash (Matt Letscher) and Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller)

>In addition to Vixen, the JSA is formed by Commander Steel (Matthew MacCaul), Hourman (Patrick J. Adam), Obsidian (Lance Henriksen), Stargirl (Sarah Grey) and Doctor Midnite.

>Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) will make appearances further into the season.

>Jonah Hex (Johnathon Schaech) will also make more appearances.

>The producers admit that season 2 wasn't as good as it could've been and are trying to rectify that by altering cast dynamics, having mini-arcs rather than an overarching storylines and have multiple episodes set in the same time periods in order to fully explore them.

>The CW has ordered 13 episodes for season 2, with a potential extension to 22 episodes.

And here's a first look at the new Vixen.

>Joss Whedon

Well there goes my hype. I'd have liked something else besides a shit one trick pony directing.

Dr. Horrible was correctly named. That movie is shit

Bear in mind, it's just a rumor at this point.

>>Felicity will get a new boyfriend.

Giving the people what they want, I see.

>Savitar
>It's another speedster villain
>He's probably going to be the same damn villain again
Just kill me.

>One of the main characters in one of the four shows will come out as gay.
I'm surprised that after years of progressive reaming they haven't realized how exploitative this is.

Not Sup Forums related but just read CW Friday 13th show is dead. Jason will never kill the cw DCverse

bloody-disgusting.com/news/3402678/breaking-cws-friday-13th-dead/

>One of the main characters in one of the four shows will come out as gay.
Oh I'm sorry I thought the CWverse was a DC property not Marvel.

It's gonna be Thea.

My money is on Cisco.

fuck where's iZombie news

My money's on Caitlin

They probably don't want it to conflict with the new movie.

Which is shaping up to be kind of a mess in its own right.

Get the fuck out

Dolph Lundgren will have a recurring role as the main villain of the flashback segments in Russia
MFW he savagely beats a black man to dearh

Profiles on the new characters, starting with "Supergirl"

CLARK KENT / SUPERMAN (Tyler Hoechlin)

>The Man of Steel. Kara's cousin and Earth's greatest hero.

SNAPPER CARR (Ian Gomez)

>A headstrong, sharp-witted newsman, hired by Cat Grant to be the editor-in-chief of CatCo Magazine. Snapper’s commitment to old school, hard-hitting journalism pushes CatCo reporters to dig deeper in the pursuit of excellence. He’s a man who tells people what he thinks of them, and his no-holds barred approach pushes Kara in unexpected ways.

>Buffy
>Co-producer of Angel
>FireFly
>Dollhouse
>Avengers

Whedon has issues with writing, but he's a good director.

>Merlyn, Dahrk, Reverse Flash, and Captain Cold as Legion of Doom.

I can dig that.

MAGGIE SAWYER (Floriana Lima)

>A openly homosexual detective in the National City Police Department, whose affinity for cases involving extraterrestrial activity sees her reassigned to the newly-formed Science Police, which deals specifically with meta-human and alien threats.

LENA LUTHOR (Katie McGrath)

>Beautiful, powerful, and enigmatic, Lena arrives in National City on the heels of brother Lex Luthor’s incarceration, hoping for a fresh start. She has taken over as CEO of her family’s billion dollar technology company, LuthorCorp, which has been tarnished by Lex’s evil infamy. Her goal? To re-brand the empire as a force for good. Lena wants to be seen as her own person, separate from her brother, and Kara is soon drawn into Lena’s sphere and must determine if she is friend or foe.

>Barry will only stay in the Flashpoint timeline for "a couple of episodes" and realize he made a mistake when his powers and memories from the original timeline begin to disappear. However, the changes in the Flashpoint timeline will bleed into the original timeline once Barry restores it, and have serious repercussions.
>Yfw they pull a "Letter from Tomas Wayne" with Barry and Ollie

MON-EL (Chris Wood)

>A mysterious alien whose powers rival Superman's, Mon-El reaches on Earth in a space pod with no memory of who he is and where he comes from, and struggles to piece together the truth behind his arrival and his purpose.

youtube.com/watch?v=sinws6tClhY

M'GANN M'ORZZ / MISS MARTIAN (Sharon Leal)

>A powerful shapeshifting martian who unexpectedly emerges in National City, challenging J'onn's beliefs about being the sole survivor of his race. However, M'Gann is harboring secrets of her own.

The last two new characters haven't been cast yet.

>NICK FARROW I A brash investigative journalist who butts heads with Kara at CatCo. The son of a famous reporter, Nick is looking to make a name for himself in the news world, but the question of whether he can leave behind his former selfish and hedonistic ways constantly arises. Through his interactions with Kara, the hero in Nick might finally come out.

>THE DOCTOR I The diabolical director of Project Cadmus, who uses her surgical skills to implant prisoners with alien technology in order to create weapons needed to build a new world order, and whose past is tied to Jeremiah Danver's, Supergirl's adoptive father.

I wish they hadn't killed her off.

Didn't she also play a homosexual character in The Family? Quite the range there.

God I hope Clark names him still

Can say the same about actors who have always played heterosexual characters but I am sure she has played non-gay characters.

>Season 5 will return to the show's roots in gritty street-level drama and will avoid metahumans and magic.
You won't trick me this time.

>will avoid metahumans and magic
Yep. Like that was even close to the problem

>There'll be a two-parter musical crossover between SUPERGIRL and THE FLASH
Y E S

The black speedster we see in the trailer is played by Todd Lasance. I highly doubt he's going to be Savitar, since the producers were saying the speedster villain wasn't yet revealed at SDCC

>Megan is black
Fuck my shit up

If it's Cisco then he'll have to be bi, given his crushes on Peekaboo and Lisa Snart

?? Cisco was openly into girls in the first 2 seasons

Its Alex from Supergirl, thats why they are bringing Maggie Sawyer in.
Caitling and Cisco are just too straight, Alex...aside from Max Lord hitting on her and she mentioning her dating life in college is vague enough to feel natural.
After all Bendis is not writing for these shows, otherwise...

Aww, I wanted Killer Cooch to affect the ladies too

Now, "The Flash"

JULIAN DORN (Tom Felton)

>Barry Allen's slightly older, slightly geekier contemporary at the Central City Police Department. A brilliant crime scene investigator, Dorn is as smart as he is intuitive, and as such, he doesn’t buy Barry’s nice guy routine and sets out to learn what he’s hiding — all while concealing some secrets of his own.

CARLA TANHAUSER (Susan Walters)

>A world-class biomedical engineer and CEO of a major research company, and the estranged mother of Caitlin Snow, who regards her mother as cold and withholding, and is deeply rattled by her return.

It should be James and they can say he was only with Kara because she reminded him of Clark (spin the same with Lucy too if you want or just ignore her)

SAM SCUDDER / MIRROR MASTER (Grey Damon)

>A master thief with supermodel good looks and an ego the size of the Grand Canyon, Scudder is one of the most charming criminals Central City has ever met. The only thing he loves more than money is himself, and after his sudden, mysterious disappearance three years ago, Scudder has returned to Central City seeking fortune and revenge. Upon discovering he now has the power to travel through any reflective surface, he embarks on a massive crime spree to prove himself the greatest thief that Central City has ever seen.

>SAM SCUDDER

Fuck, I almost forgot.

I have to drop Flash now. Choosing the obviously inferior character is just inexcusable.

Are they going to turn him into a meta?

I'm waiting for the eventual 'Shopping of Supergirl into Felicity because ALL PRAISE OUR GLORIOUS QUEEN FELICITY AS SHE SAVES THE WORLD FROM EVERYTHING EVER AND oh yeah Oliver is there too, ain't he adorbs?

I want him to fuck Piper

Olicity killed any enjoyment I had with Arrow.

it wouldnt hurt them to get some muscle for that, like Solomon Grundy or something

here... it killed my love of the show too.

WE

>Four way crossover
O joy, because legends wasn't already a cluster fuck of crap. And now Felicity gets to meet everyone.

>Miss Martian (Sharon Leal)
Another redhead getting blacked.

>not a single blond new character, race swaps everywhere

so Supernatural is technically the most white show on the whole CW

DOCTOR ALCHEMY

>A viciously cunning criminal mastermind whose true identity is shrouded in mystery, Doctor Alchemy ropes the Flash into a game of cat and mouse in which Barry tangles with an unpredictable enemy to whose will the very laws of nature bend to.

WUZ

Wrong, they cast Draco Malfoy as someone on Flash

>Mon-el
I dont want to get hype for Supergirl, but damn...
>Lena Luthor
>brother is in jail
Movie synergy?
Supes look like the mexican president
>One of the main characters in one of the four shows will come out as gay.
I swear to god if they make Sara come out of the closet im gonna fucking lol so hard
>Kevin Smith will direct an episode of season 2.
Can't wait for weed and toilet jokes tbqh

MARTIANS

>There'll be a two-parter musical crossover between SUPERGIRL and THE FLASH on episode 14 of both shows in early 2017, featuring both famous songs and original compositions, which will probably be elaborate fantasy sequences imagined by the characters.

Please be Weird Al as Music Meister.

Onto "Arrow"

PROMETHEUS

>A merciless, bloodthirsty vigilante who emerges from the shadows of Star City, ready to do what Green Arrow is no longer willing to, Prometheus's abilities rival and perhaps even surpass Oliver's, and his elusive nature and relentless brutality mark his as Oliver's most dangerous adversary yet.

>he's a wizard

TOBIAS CHURCH (Chad L. Coleman)

>A ruthless crime lord who sets out to fill the sizable void left by Damien Darhk and H.I.V.E., uniting Star City's criminal enterprises under his command. Church is an apex predator who cuts his way through the shadows by taking down the biggest threat first, and quickly sets his sights on newly-appointed Mayor Oliver Queen. Furthermore, he harbors a vendetta against the Green Arrow for the death of his brother, one of Oliver's many victims back when he was a killer.

ADRIAN CHASE / VIGILANTE (Josh Segarra)

>Star City's new District Attorney who joins forces with Mayor Oliver Queen to take on organized crime, aspiring to clean up the streets by using the legal system, only to find himself using less-than-legal methods to see his goals done.

RENEE RAMIREZ / WILD DOG (Rick Gonzalez)

>An ex-Marine turned vigilante operating in Star City, whose reckless and cocksure nature prompts the Green Arrow to take him under his wing. Ramirez proves himself to be an unpredictable, but reliable ally.

Nobody give a shit about Arrow.

He will probably bring in Glau as a guest star

EVELYN SHARP / ARTEMIS (Madison McLaughlin)

>One year after masquerading as the Black Canary to pursue vengeance against Damien Darhk for the death of her parents, Evelyn resurfaces determined to forging her own identity as Artemis, and proves herself to possess great resolve and resourcefulness despite Oliver's continuous efforts to discourage her from a life of vigilantism.

>yfw they copy Midnighter by having Felicity date him unknowingly

SUSAN LEWIS (Carly Pope)

>A journalist from nearby Coast City who comes to Star City looking to make a name for herself by targeting Oliver Queen for a big story.

god this season sounds like shit

JASON MALONE (Tyler Ritter)

>An ambitious detective newly-transferred to the Star City Police Department following Captain Lance's departure from the squad.

>You're too reckless, Ramirez. You can't just go out there at night like some wild dog.

Can we cry about straightwashing if that happens?

RORY REGAN / RAGMAN (Joe Dinicol)

>Fresh from a personal tragedy, Rory hopes to find answers in Star City, where he ultimately crosses paths with Green Arrow and faces his own morality and what he truly is seeking: Justice or revenge?

Finally, "Legends of Tomorrow"

NATHAN HEYWOOD / CITIZEN STEEL (Nick Zano)

>A historian who grew up in the shadow of his grandfather, a hero from World War II and a founding member of the Justice Society of America, and has used a Han Solo-like facade to conceal his insecurity — until, that is, the development of super powers enables him to love up to his family legacy as Citizen Steel.

AMAYA JIWE / VIXEN (Maisie Richardson-Sellers)

>The newest superhero to board the Waverider and join the ranks of the Legends of Tomorrow in the wake of the death of a loved one. Like her granddaughter, Mari McCabe, Amaya’s powers are derived from the mysterious Tantu Totem, which allows her to magically access the abilities of animals to fight evil as Vixen.

REX TYLER / HOURMAN (Patrick J. Adam)

>A hero with a mysterious past and an equally mysterious agenda, and a founding member of a legendary group of superheroes, the Justice Society of America. Tyler arrives from the future with a warning that launches a new mission for the Legends.

What happened to the other stress?

Actress *

HANK HEYWOOD / COMMANDER STEEL (Matthew MacCaul)

>A legendary war hero and founding member of the Justice Society of America, and the grandfather of Nate Heywood, who embraces the mantle of Citizen Steel.

soooo Snart is still going to be on Legends of Tommorrow?
Might have to watch season 2 if thats the case....

That's her.

COURTNEY WHITMORE / STARGIRL (Sarah Grey)

>An endearingly optimistic novice superheroine who has inherited the legendary cosmic rod and the responsabilities that come along with it, Stargirl is decided to prove herself a worthy member of the Justice Society of America.

Really? She looks different than the one from arrow

JAMES RICE / OBSIDIAN (Lance Henriksen)

>A mysterious member of the Justice Society of America whose ability to control the shadows makes him both an useful ally and a potentially dangerous wildcard.

Weird. Usually it's 23 episodes.
