If you've been following Arrow and The Flash, you'll have noticed that a new spin-off is on the way. It's a new series called DC's Legends of Tomorrow, which introduces an interesting team of superheroes in their fight to save the world. Are you going to miss it?
Last month, new seasons of Arrow and The Flash, series based on DC Comics superheroes, premiered. If you're up to date with both shows, you'll have noticed that in the upcoming episodes the long-awaited crossover referencing the new superhero series, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, is coming. The story begins when Rip Hunter, a time traveler from the future, arrives in our era to assemble a team of heroes and villains in an attempt to stop Vandal Savage from taking control of the world. This team is made up of several characters who appeared in Arrow and The Flash, starting a new adventure.

The Legends of Tomorrow team consists of The Atom, White Canary, Heat Wave, Captain Cold, Firestorm, Hawkgirl, Hawkman, and the aforementioned Rip Hunter. As seen in the trailer, this mix of heroes and villains on the same side will have its relationship problems among several team members. Also, special appearances by Arrow, Flash, and Black Canary were glimpsed, whether in flashbacks or to lend a hand in some episodes.
The villain this time is Vandal Savage, an immortal being who throughout history has manipulated major leaders to gain control over the world.
One interesting detail is a phrase Rip Hunter says: "I've seen Men of Steel die and Dark Knights fall" – a clear reference to the existence of Superman and Batman in the DC television universe.
