I got to thinking about the show, and it occurred to me what a potential bonanza this promises to be for both DC and the fans. With Rip Hunter and time travel in the mix, as well as some kind of universal/time threat involved, the show is now open to DC characters from other eras (even, perhaps, other universes?), ranging from ancient Atlantis to the 30th Century. Don't know if that's involved in the overall plan for the series... but the potential is certainly there.
Suddenly, this show has become an exciting possibility.
From that article, "midseason we have the much-anticipated DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW". So not this Fall. That means to me that there will probably be more lead-in, versus almost none that we have right now, from Arrow and Flash into Legends.
I had a thought about the title and Rip Hunter being involved. I wonder if this will be a Quantum Leap style show where this team hops in and out to correct things wrong in time that affect the secret origins of superheroes. They protect "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" instead of being the Legends of Tomorrow.
White Canary? Could this have something to do with the color spectrum? That would be kind of cool. I hope it leads to her coming back to Arrow at least for a cameo if nothing else.
Actor/character that seems to be missing from that trailer is "Franz Drameh as Jay Jackson: A former high school athlete whose pro career was derailed by an injury who now works as an auto mechanic." Seems like Cyborg.

I wouldn't be surprised if that trailer was episode 1 (maybe parts of 2) and the other character(s) get introduced further along in the 13 episodes.
That's probably what would happen. I was intrigued with the fact that it looks like Ollie and Barry get the team together which also kind of spoils that Ollie is coming back to the costume. It will be interesting to see how that that happens.
This is amazing... what a world we live in. I can't keep up with how many awesome comic TV shows there are right now! Can't wait for this. The only thing that would have made this better would be the inclusion of Booster and Beetle.

Definitely only episode one. It was made for Upfronts and generally only pilots have been produced at this point. Other new series trailers are the same way.

It has been officially confirmed that Caity Lotz will be appearing in the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow series as White Canary. Her connection to Sarah Lance and the world of Arrow will become clear later today during the CW’s upfront presentation.

but it harkens back to this TV show from my youth... everyone wearing helmets and armor and shooting lasers...
Firestorm? Where's Robbie Amell? Has he booked another series and can't be in this?
"...it seems certain that Dr. Stein is going solo. Greg Berlanti -- who is developing the potential series along with Andrew Kreisberg, Marc Guggenheim and Sarah Schechter -- told Entertainment Weekly that there is a particular reason why Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), one half of Firestorm is not part of the cast, but "I can't say why.""
Regardless, they DID introduce Jason in the Flash series early on. So it's possible Jason is up!
Ronnie and Caitlin look to be getting married.
So, speculation... does she not want him doing the superhero thing?
Don't forget that some of this new team pops up on the Flash finale.
