"Arrow" and "The Flash" have some new superhero company in the CW's lineup with the addition of "DC's Legends of Tomorrow." After seeing what doom the future holds, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter realizes heroes alone are not enough to prevent the impending catastrophe that threatens the planet. Tasked with recruiting both heroes and villains, Rip brings together a ragtag team of divergent talents, which includes the likes of Sara Lance, Ray Palmer, and Heat Wave. Although the team continually adds and loses members, their goal is always the same -- prevent supervillains from destroying time itself.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fancy effects, comic-book nostalgia, and an alluring cast help keep it afloat, but DC's Legends of Tomorrow suffers from an overloaded cast of characters that contribute to a distractingly crowded canvas.

Ed Gross Empire Magazine These guys aren't legends yet, but if they play their cards right they just might get there one day. Rated: 3/5 Jul 26, 2018 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix At this early stage, Legends of Tomorrow feels more like Agents of SHIELD at its outset: a way to extend the brand by any means necessary, and worry about what the show actually is later. Rated: C Jan 29, 2016 Full Review Jonathan Bernstein Daily Telegraph (UK) There are other moments where you recognize you're watching something that wants to be a cross between Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy. Even if it never gets close to fulfilling that destiny, I'm sticking around to watch it try. Rated: 3/5 Jan 22, 2016 Full Review Molly Templeton Tor.com If we can just get some sharper writing, a better villain, and someone to fill the hole left by Snart's tragic departure, Legends might just level up. Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line But once said conversations have been had, after the i's are dotted and t's crossed, the times ahead promise to be spread across the ages and a whole lotta fun. Rated: B Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Scott Huver CBR "DC's Legends of Tomorrow," like its quirky ensemble of characters, shows great promise in living up to its grandiose title.

Laze T I can not even lie to you when I say i have been watching this TV since september 2023 it is currently july 10 2024 and still cant comprehend that i have finished this show, I started this show before i started ranking movies and can i just say yes it has its bad season with its ups and downs the overall show us amazing, my fav is definitely season 2 but to the new cast and the old the crew is always amazing and i love the cast always makes me fall in love with the real life cast and look into them idk just love them. But can i just say thank you, what a ride, I took my time with it and its come to a end thank you legends... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/24 Full Review Ace T Even if you watch it high, it's terrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Anime F DC's Legends of Tomorrow was really good, we'll the first 2 seasons were good but the rest of it was a bit meh for me but I will be give this a 7/10 for the action and adventure. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review ana luisa u Snark ne encanta Fireston es genial y Mick es carismático Ray no tan mal y Cráter es buen líder Sara como Canario blanco es genial el Valdrán es buen villano 7.5 de 10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Pancapeczka G Good story and comedy, but Has some not entertaining moments. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review julian p This is probably a tie in first place with arrow because it's such a good show. Action I liked the action it is so great-perfect and is make the season so cool. Acting is perfect no doubt. CGI is amazing it's mind blowing and so realistic I love it. Villain, I kind of liked him but not so much I think there could have been a better actor or better writing for the character but the villains I did like were the time masters they are pure evil. Writing no explanation needed the writing is perfect. Story/plot, they literally traveled in and outside of space and time. Casting DON'T EVEN. Characters, such perfect characters they all originated in other shows and made there own (except Rip). Character development no doubt it goes to Snart "robber of ATMs" and Mick they were just crooks/criminals/Rogues before they were pick up in 2016 and then they transformed not into heros legends especially Snart he didn't die a hero he died a legend. Adventure, traveled in and outside of time and space. Mystery is so good and so mysterious because who knew that the time masters would be the main villains telling Savage what to do. Ending, I think that there have been better endings in the Arrowverse this ending is not the best but is one of my top 10 favorite endings/ cliff hangers in the Arrowverse. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
