Legends of Tomorrow: New Trailer Illustrates Spinoff's DC Comics Roots

A very fun new trailer for The CW’s Arrow/The Flash offshoot, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, juxtaposes the comic book inspiration for many of its characters with their live-action incarnations, starting with a recap of how both Oliver Queen and Barry Allen came to be the super men they are today.

The trailer then tees up the midseason series and its unlikely team-up of Captain Cold (played by Wentworth Miller), Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell), Firestorm (Victor Garber and ???), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee), The Atom (Brandon Routh) and White Canary (Caity Lotz).
