Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 is speeding your way with a Justice Society theme and more timey-wimey shenanigans. Here's everything we know!
We already knew that Lance Henrickson would be playing Justice Society member, Obsidian. But it turns out, he's not the only Obsidian coming to Legends of Tomorrow Season 2! TV Linereports that Dan Payne (Strange Empire) is also on board as a younger version of the character, and that's the one the team will first meet. Whether this means they meet him in the 1940s or not isn't yet clear.

Click the gallery above to check out images from the season 2 premiere — and they feature Green Arrow himself (or at least Oliver Queen, given that Stephen Amell is wearing street clothes). Oliver doesn't look to happy to see Mick. Then again, when does Oliver ever look happy to see anyone who isn't Thea, Felicity, or Diggle? You can peruse through the gallery of photos, which also feature the introduction of new series regular Nick Zano as Dr. Nate Herywood (aka Citizen Steel), above.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Story
Here's the first official synopsis for Legends of Tomorrow Season 2...
After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new threat emerges. Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), an unconventional and charming historian, is thrust into the action upon making a shocking discovery – the Legends are scattered throughout time. Nate must find a way to rescue season one’s beloved team of heroes and rogues, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to miniscule size, as the Atom; Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), the White Canary, a trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm; and Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), aka Heat Wave, a career criminal. When the Legends encounter the J.S.A (the Justice Society of America, the precursor to DC’s Justice League) in the 1940s, Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), aka Vixen, joins the team. While the team reunites, a mystery looms – the fate of former captain Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill).
Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations – unusual changes to history that spawn potentially catastrophic consequences. When Nate, the grandson of J.S.A. member Commander Steel, unexpectedly finds himself with powers, he must overcome his own insecurities and find the hero within himself. Ultimately, the Legends will clash with foes both past and present, to save the world from a mysterious new threat.
Oh, and Marc Guggenheim dropped this sweet JSA photo on his Twitter...

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Villains
But there will be plenty of villains to go around, too! Matt Letscher, who we first met as the Reverse-Flash on The Flash Season 2 (and who returns for season three) will be a series regular on Legends of Tomorrow Season 2. Wentworth Miller and John Barrowman will make Legends appearances as Malcolm Merlyn and Captain Cold, as will Neal McDonough as Damien Darkh.
“For season two of Legends, we decided that the perfect antagonist for TV’s first-ever team of Super Heroes would be TV’s first-ever team of Super-Villains, recruited from the ranks of Arrow and The Flash’s deadliest adversaries," executive producer Marc Guggenheim said. "Being huge fans of the Challenge of the Superfriends, we’ve come to call this group our ‘Legion of Doom.’”
I'll have more details on how the Justice Society will relate to the Legendsteam in the next day or so. We've got a lot of interviews to transcribe from SDCC!
Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Trailer
There's also a very short Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 trailer, and it's got a lot of the particular brand of craziness we've come to know and love about the show. But most exciting of all is that if you don't blink, you'll get your first look at Sarah Grey as Stargirl.
