Woah! Some very cool news from SDCC for fans of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow!
Firstly, we know the Legend with consist of Dr. Mid-Nite, Stargirl, Obsidian, Commander Steel. We also know that the show will have a full order for Season 2… so 24 episodes it is!
But, in the most exciting news, it seems that the super team will have a suitable nemesis… The Legion of Doom!
Seriously, how cool is that!?
Yup, it was announced that the Waverider crew will face the Legion, composed of Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough), the Reverse-Flash (Matt Letscher) and, yes, Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), all pictured above.
Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim said: “For season two of ‘Legends,’ we decided that the perfect antagonist for TV’s first-ever team of super heroes would be TV’s first-ever team of super-villains, recruited from the ranks of Arrow and The Flash’s deadliest adversaries.
“Being huge fans of the ‘Challenge of the Super Friends,’ we’ve come to call this group our ‘Legion of Doom.’”
This explains our earlier reports that Barrowman and Miller has signed contracts allowing them to be regulars in Arrow, Flash and Legends – it looks like the DC TV Universe is set to intertwine in ways we never thought of…
The second season of “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” premieres Thursday, Oct. 13, on The CW.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
