During the San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, it was announced that DC’s original superhero team – and forerunner to the Justice League – the Justice Society of America is set to feature in the second season of The CW’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and star Brandon Routh has been speaking to Screen Rant about the team’s introduction.
“So far what I know about the show, the season is Ray is pretty gung-ho about meeting the Justice Society of America and thinks they’re pretty cool, and they’ve got a well-oiled machine,” states Routh. “And maybe the Legends can emulate certain aspects of that… This season opens up an opportunity to have a whole bunch of people back from the last season and from the other shows, as well. Because this season we’re not chasing Vandal Savage so we’re able to kind of do more of whatever we want. The whole world is open.”
“Well we’re going back to the ’40s, for the JSA,” he continues. “That’s where we meet the JSA. And I think we’ll spend a fair bit of time there, in different countries within the 1940s. It’s the focus of the first couple episodes. And there’s a couple times we go way back. I actually don’t know how much I can say about where we go, I’ll have to ask Marc [Guggenheim[ that question. I mean, further back than we’ve gone… well… to one extent we go wayyyyy back, but for a portion of it we go… pretty far back.”
Season two of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow premieres on The CW on October 13th.
