We’re less than a week away from the winter return of The Flash, which means the premiere of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is just around the corner.  I have to admit that I’m a bit skeptical.  Arrow has always been a bit too grim for me.  The Flash, on the other hand, has found a nice, Silver Age balance between heavy and humorous.  This has been especially true over this second season, as the cast seems amazingly comfortable in their roles.

And so skeptical: yes.  Still hopeful, though.  It’s the first big small-screen collection of live-action heroes in a while.  I’m a long-term fan of many of the characters, but I’m not sure how they’ll translate from the page to the screen (it’s the wings, really).  But if they get the chemistry right and the time travel elements plays out intelligently, then the CW might have a keeper (in the show and in this viewer).  Here’s the most recent trailer for the show, which debuts next Thursday.
