Trivia

The team up of the various heroes from the 4 different shows serves as a de facto Justice League of America. Of the superhero characters appearing in this episode, only Heatwave, White Canary, Spartan, and Killer Frost were never members of the League at some point in their career in the comic books. Several other League members have appeared in all four shows as supporting or recurring characters.

Goofs

The writers were forced to minimize Supergirl's participation due to budget considerations, forcing Oliver to make the illogical decision to sideline her for most of the action.

User Reviews

mess

For anyone who has not watched the other television series involved in this episode of Legends of Tomorrow, be prepared to wonder what the heck is going on, because this episode is not going to make sense and you may believe you are watching the 3rd series, instead of the 2nd. Daft idea.
