It’s already known that The CW’s 2016–2017 season will be a veritable mecca of crossovers. But the network really wants to make this point loud and clear. And there’s no better way to do this than the latest Legends of Tomorrow extended trailer.
In it, we first see our Legends, now the protectors of time, trying to preserve history. However, the deluge of DC heroes and villains soon make their way on-screen. There are quite a few treats in there, so I’m not going to spoil it for you. Watch it and you’ll know why you can’t miss one episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, as well as Arrow, The Flash, and new-kid-on-the-block Supergirl.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow—Official Season 2 Synopsis
After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new threat emerges. 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 season one’s beloved team of heroes and rogues, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to miniscule size, as the Atom; Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), the White Canary, a trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm; and Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), aka Heat Wave, a career criminal. When the Legends encounter the J.S.A (the Justice Society of America, the precursor to DC’s Justice League) in the 1940s, Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), aka Vixen, joins the team. While the team reunites, a mystery looms – the fate of former captain Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill).
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 J.S.A. member 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.
The CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 will premiere on Thursday, October 13, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. EST.
