‘Legends of Tomorrow’ spoilers: New boss says to expect side stories

There are few shows out there at the moment we are more excited to see than DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” on The CW. With that in mind, it is certainly rather unfortunate that we are going to be stuck for quite a while waiting to see it. The show will not kick off its first season until early 2016, but we are starting to get a sense of what the story will be about. The Big Bad has already been set as Vandal Savage, and while we are going to see a lot of him, it is also fair to say that there are several other stories that are going to be taking place.

In previewing what could be some of the series’ side missions to Entertainment Weekly recently, new showrunner Phil Klemmer (“The Tomorrow People”) passed along the following message:

“Who can resist the urge to correct the past or to investigate the future?” he says. “The idea of traveling through time has a caper quality to it, and that’s what we’re looking forward to. Yes, there will be the big ‘try to stop Vandal Savage’ [plot], but people will inevitably become diverted on their little side missions and when people are trying to fix their own timeline, that’s when you really start screwing things up.”

Tonally, we’re looking for something from this show that is somewhat similar to “The Flash,” largely because this series really appears on the surface to be emphasizing at least a little bit of fun more than anything else. They want viewers to enjoy the show, laugh at some of the exploits, and then eventually be excited and concerned for their favorites when the big battles commence.
