DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Showrunner Will Be Phil Klemmer

The CW's Legends of Tomorrow has found its showrunner—and he comes DC Entertainment-approved.

Phil Klemmer will oversee the DC Comics show, which unites The Atom, Hawkgirl, Captain Cold, Rip Hunter, and more for a superhero ensemble series. Klemmer comes hand-picked from The Flash show runner and Arrow executive producer Greg Berlanti. Klemmer and Berlanti have previously collaborated on The Tomorrow People, Golden Boy, and Political Animals. Klemmer has also worked on Chuck and Veronica Mars.

In the role, Klemmer will work alongside Legends' co-executive producers Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Marc Guggenheim—all of whom oversee The Flash and Arrow—along with Sarah Schechter.

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 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? DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW stars Victor Garber ("The Flash," "Alias"); Brandon Routh ("Arrow," "Superman Returns"); Arthur Darvill ("Doctor Who"); Caity Lotz ("Arrow"); Ciarra Renee ("Pippin"); Franz Drameh ("Edge of Tomorrow"); with Dominic Purcell ("The Flash," "Prison Break"); and Wentworth Miller ("The Flash," "Prison Break"). Based on the characters from DC Comics, DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti ("Arrow," "The Flash," upcoming "Pan"), Marc Guggenheim ("Arrow," "Eli Stone," "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters"), Andrew Kreisberg ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Eli Stone," "Warehouse 13") and Sarah Schechter ("Arrow," "The Flash," upcoming "Pan").
