By Alex Burns

It's a Golden Age for Superhero television and that's partly down to The CW's work with their DC Comic adaptations, namely "Arrow" and "The Flash". The two shows have seen major success on the small screen and it looks like The CW is looking to add another Superhero show to their line-up. A series order has been given the go ahead for an Arrow-Flash Spin-off titled "DC’s Legends of Tomorrow", a show had previously been rumoured where other supporting characters from the that have appeared in DC's TV Universe would be teaming up in a new series showcasing lesser known heroes. Check below for the official synopsis and cast list.

In Legends, when heroes alone are not enough, the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat—one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?

The drama—which hails from Arrow and Flash executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, as well as Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter—also stars Brandon Routh (Ray Palmer/The Atom), Wentworth Miller (Leonard Snart/Captain Cold), Dominic Purcell (Mick Rory, Heat Wave), Victor Garber (Martin Stein/Firestorm), Ciara Renee (Kendra Saunders, Hawkgirl), Franz Drameh (Jay Jackson) and Caity Lotz… after the events in "Arrow" where her character Sara Lance died earlier this season, it's unclear who the actress will be playing.

It's great to see another Superhero property making it's way onto to television and hopefully this series will continue the quality we've come to expect from "Arrow" and "The Flash". Although it'sunclear just how much these three shows will connect, the time-travel aspect would certainly be a good fit with "The Flash", whatever happens it'l be fun to speculate. keep it locked here at Cape and Cowl for everything Superhero.
