Legends of Tomorrow News & Clip

Tomorrow night is the premiere of Legends of Tomorrow! The CW has released a new clip and we have a bit of news on the character Citizen Steel.

Oh, how we have missed this wonderfully campy show!

One of the new characters added to the series, Nate Heywood, who goes on to become the hero Citizen Steel, will take on a very Indiana Jones-inspired role on the team as the story line becomes focused on the past and legacy.

Show runner Phil Klemmer said, “Season 2 is much more about history, the fact that the Time Masters have been destroyed and the Legends are now fixing these aberrations in history, so we needed a humanities major on our show. We’ve got Dr. Stein, we’ve got Ray Palmer, but we needed somebody who is able to understand world history, and that’s what he offers. He is basically Dr. [Indiana] Jones, a swashbuckling academic.”

Klemmer continued, “Nate would be the first to say that the blood has run thin in the Heywood family — it’s hard to grow up in the shadow of [his grandfather, JSA member Commander Steel]. He’s an historian and he thought he would remain one for the rest of his life, but when the Legends come into his life and introduce him to time travel, he realizes that he’s going to get to do more than read about it. I don’t want to spoil the surprise of how Nate comes into his powers, but he certainly is the last guy who ever thought he would be on a superhero show.”

Legends of Tomorrow premieres Thursday night at 8:00 pm on The CW.
