Just read the SDCC blurb for the Legends of Tomorrow Panel:
After defeating Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends were ready to ease off the gas. That was until Constantine arrived to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives,” magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. So when all hell breaks loose, who ya gonna call? That’s right, the Legends!
It's basically Once Upon a Time in the DC Universe and I AM IN
Wait. I only half-pay-attention when I watch Arrow. Diaz didn't die?
Anyway, those all seem fun and I'm looking forward to Nora. Any idea who Flash Vader is at the end there?
Diaz spoilers:
Ollie almost took him in but Black Siren blew him off a ledge into the river. The last montage of the season finale showed Diaz watching the press conference.
I'm actually interested in bringing him back this season.
Gotta say, it's nice to see these SDCC trailers officially on YouTube rather than having to watch them through some crappy half blocked cell phone footage that's 90% drowned out by crowd noise.

At the same time, all of these shows just got back to work within the last week or so. So all the TV shows are just re edited footage from the previous season with different music and/or narration.
Like, I want to get hyped up about these things, but there's nothing to really show at this point.

That's Cicada. In the comics, he was struck by lightning (probably changed to the particle accelerator for the show) and has lightning bolt shaped daggers that he uses to steal souls to extend his life.

The Silencer is going to be on Arrow, which is cool because a) she's a woman of color and 2) her first appearance was January of this year
Hopefully they give her a better costume (JRjr just repeated his Kick Ass design), but her power (she can make zones of silence) should work a lot better on TV than it does in comics. All but guaranteed she has a fight with Black Canary

It'll show how Silencer is actually a threat; Canary is going to get her ass kicked by her. Probably.
I just watched the first season of LoT on my summer break. The wild west episode part with Kendra was weird to me. Past-life Kendra warns her that loving anybody but hawkdude leads to heartbreak and tragedy. I was thinking, "Aren't you both habitually murdered(alone or in pairs) every single lifetime? How much worse can these relationships with non-Carter get?"
Because if they try and love someone else, they can't protect each other when Savage kills them again. Or maybe she's just warning her just skip the CW love triangle bullshit.
And having thought more about the Ruby Rose casting, I still think it's a stunt, but that's worked almost literally every other time it's happened in the Arrowverse. So sure, I'm down.
From what we can tell, they can't protect each other when they are together either. Also the Masters Above All(corporate) aren't going to let people skip CW love triangle bullshit.

That was the joke.
Legends has otherwise been pretty good about that stuff though.

Once a month, I read an issue of the current, very good, Hawkman comic and think "man, this would be a great TV show. Why isn't he on TV?" and then remember that he was on the first season of Legends
And then promptly forget he was on Legends.

I wish this was because she is at best a below average actress but I am sure it really, really wasn't.
You wish she was bullied off social media because she's a below average actress?
"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!

That came out more pro bullying than I intended...I apologize I just mean I know for a fact that those people aren't complaining about the casting for any reason other than her sexuality.
Inside of a dog...it's too dark to read.

From what little I've read, in some cases it's also because she's not Jewish like the character she's playing.
Other cases because she's not lesbian enough.
Also, the whole mediocre actor thing.
Basically, people are terrible for all imaginable reasons, and being able to be terrible anonymously doesn't help things a bit.
Richardson-Sellers: You don't just want characters who are queer and all they talk about is being queer, you want characters who are queer and that's only one facet of their identity. They're also powerful, happy, and human. I think that's the next step, moving beyond just tolerance and moving towards acceptance and love.

She adds a fun dynamic with Barry being hilariously awkward and Iris being all-in and totally adoring her
It was nice to see they only stuck with the "No future talk" thing for half the episode.
Sooner they get done with the dark secret bit, the sooner they can go have ice cream.

Also Nora uses Schway as future slang, which I think comes from Batman Beyond?
Hope she starts saying crash like in Young Justice too (though that had its origins in the Reach invasion, so maybe not)

That scene of Barry giving the same speech as Wells-Thawne was really well done

Booster Gold, willingly helping them out with whatever they want, because the Legends make him look good in comparison

They already have someone who can take them to other universes!
And also he would just be a fun addition as a scrappy younger hero since Wally is gone
I really don't want to see the Arrowverse's Dark Multiverse though
