Five Things You Want to Know About the Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Premiere

We're still a couple of weeks away from the airdate for the second season premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow -- but here at ComicBook.com, we've peered through the Waverider's on-board computers and taken a look at what to expect in October.

The addition of the Justice Society of America takes Legends of Tomorrow -- a fine show last year, but arguably the least compelling of DC's superhero shows on a week-in, week-out basis -- and makes it must-see TV of the highest possible order.

Combine that with the fact that last season's biggest problem -- a less-than-compelling villain who didn't succeed so much as he made the heroes fail, making viewing sometimes a frustrating experience -- is gone now, replaced by a team-up of some of the most popular villains to come out of Arrow and The Flash, and you've got a recipe for some damn good television.

Now, we're not going to spoil any plot points explicitly here -- or in our review of the season premiere, which will run later today. Rather, this is an opportunity for us to provide fans with some tantalizing tidbits that readers can use to try and speculate about and suss out.

That kind of thing tends to make for fun conversation when a TV season is on hiatus, and as the season premiere draws closer and more and more clues are out there, it tends to build to a fever pitch.

• Sara Lance is far and away the most driven character on the show -- but will her agenda match up with that of the rest of the Legends?
• The CWverse will officially see its world history altered in a way that makes history develop differently than in the real world...and not only will the team not fix it, but they actually set it in motion.
• Keep a keen eye out. Nobody mentions it, but it sure looks to us like there's a stealth cameo by some incredibly famous characters not owned by DC Comics.
• They're embracing the over-the-top, campy nature of the series in a way that makes it feel more like a companion to Supergirl than Arrow. Even though Stephen Amell's performance in the premiere is a highlight.
• Nick Zano is a gem. He steals every scene he's in.

This season sees the addition of the Justice Society in the form of Nick Zano's Citizen Steel, Maisie Peterson-Sellers's Vixen, Sarah Gray's Stargirl and Lance Henriksen's Obsidian. They'll face off against Neal McDonough's Damien Darhk, Matthew Letscher's Reverse-Flash, John Barrowman's Malcolm Merlyn, and Wentworth Miller's Captain Cold, who have teamed up under the banner of the Legion of Doom.
