Synopsis
When heroes alone are not enough… the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat – one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?

Introduction
At the beginning of most episodes, a voiceover of Rip Hunter describes the state of the future and the death of his wife and son, the need to destroy Vandal Savage and the formation of his team.
