Spoilers follow for the season finale of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow.
Tonight’s episode saw the team come out on top as they managed to finally kill Vandal Savage, and then at the end we were treated to a couple of big surprises.
The first is that both Hawkman and Hawkgirl decided not to rejoin the team as time cops. After 4000 years of not being allowed to be together, now with Vandal dead, they can have a life to themselves. Off they flew (and won’t be a part of Season 2).
The second was the big reveal at the end (watch below) with none other than Rex Tyler, Hourman. A second Waverider ship from the future finds the team with Hourman revealing he was sent back in time by Mick to warn the team not to board their Waverider as they all die.
Hourman also tells them team he’s from the Justice Society of America.
Check out the scene below.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim also had this to say about Season 2 (via THR):
With his final words in the finale, he planted a pretty deep flag about where we’re headed in season two, which is not just introducing Hourman but introducing his teammates in the Justice Society of America,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim tells The Hollywood Reporter. “For comic book fans, everyone knows the Justice Society is really the precursor to the Justice League, so it’s a pretty big move in our DC universe here on TV.”
“One of the other big things we’ve done in the season finale is we planted another flag in the form of Rip’s [Arthur Darvil] statement. Because the Time Masters are essentially gone and the Legends have destroyed the Oculus, that all means that someone else has to do the job of the Time Masters,” Guggenheim says. “Our Legends take that on as their new responsibility. It’s sort of like, you break it, you buy it.”
“The season two big bad is actually not going to be the [alien race of] Thanagarians,” Guggenheim says. “It’s going to be something else entirely. All I’ll really say about the nemesis in season two is Vandal Savage looks like a walk in the park compared to what the Legends will be facing. This will be a much, much bigger threat. I’m going to leave it at that because when we do reveal it, it’s going to be pretty big. People will be asking, ‘Vandal who?’ once they get the full picture of what our team is up against. It’s going to be way bigger than what you can even imagine, I can guarantee it.”
