EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS:
Season 1 Episode 9 “Left Behind” (Date: 31 Mar 2016)
Article:http://comicbook.com/2016/03/31/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-things-you-might-have-missed-in-left-beh/
- Left Behind: Also the title of an Arrow Episode, also written by Marc Guggenheim
- Ra’s al Ghul: Matt Nable returns in the role he OWNED in Arrow.
- Talia al Ghul: We got a lot of Nyssa, but this is the first DC TV appearance of Talia
- Ray looks like Clark Kent: Glasses, buttoned down suit…
- The Game of Life: Oops or from the waverider? Stuck in ‘58, game created in ‘60
- Hub City: Hub City, where the team found itself in 1958 and Ray ended up setting up a life with Kendra, is in the comics the home of The Question and other DC superheroes imported from Charlton Comics.
- Nanda Parbat

- Shadow Record: Document with the League’s roster is similar to the League of Shadows
- That threat Mick makes to Snart — that he’s going to start in the far future and travel back in time over and over again forcing Snart to watch him murder Snart’s sister each day — is something similar to what happened in The Kingdom, Mark Waid’s follow-up to Kingdom Come, in which the villain Gog did that to Superman.
- Hawking-out: Similar to Hulking Out?
- Ray’s comment about being “back Here”: He was in the same cell in Arrow, but in the future
- General cool comment about the ties to Sara Lance and Canary in Arrow
ARROW NEWS:
- Arrow Returning to Street-level Crime (Date: 27 July 2016)
* Stephen Amell said: (Director) “Bam Bam gets it and gets the theme of the show, and it feels like it’s a street-level crime-fighting show and it’s about saving Star City and cleaning it up, which is what the show is. I think the best version of the show is when we focus on that.”
* Wendy Mericle added: “We’re going back to season 1. We’re going to have really badass monsters. We’re going back to the crime and the city. When we come back to the city, …there is a lot of street crime and the mobsters have really taken over the city
Link:http://www.comicbookmovie.com/dc_tv/arrow/arrow-returning-to-street-crime-and-mobsters-in-season-5-a143879 - Amell on “Olicity” and a New Team v. the Old Team in Season 5 (Date: 27 July 2016)
“Oliver’s most important relationship in the entire show is his relationship with Star City, and his objective to make it better than what it was and fulfill what his father asked him to do. So Oliver and Felicity are very much team members at this point. She thinks that there should be a new team at the moment, and Oliver would like the old team to return.

GENERAL DC TV NEWS
- Supergirl: Marc Guggenheim shares details on the Crossover (Date: 28 July 2016)
Stopping short of calling it a full-on Supergirl crossover, Guggenheim confirmed the Girl of Steel will be stopping by all three of CW’s other DC shows. “It’s an external threat from outside the shows that will involve Supergirl coming over to “The Flash,” then “Arrow” then “Legends of Tomorrow.”
Link:http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/supergirl-common-thread-flash-arrow-legends-tomorrow-crossover - Supergirl: New Superman costume unveiled and compared (Date: 28 Jul 2016)
*The design aesthetics are very different. Cavill’s suit is more “alien skin”. Hoechlin’s suit is more of a suit
* Hoechlin’s costume opts for the red “utility belt” design, pulled from the New 52 Comic book reboot of Superman (more on that later). Cavill’s costume famously skipped over having a pronounced belt or red underwear
* The logos on the costume are very different: Cavill’s Kryptonian “hope” insignia was made with the same “alien” aesthetic as the rest of his costume, while Hoechlin’s insignia is much more of the classic Dan Jurgens design.
* The cape clasps are very different: Cavill’s, again, runs seamlessly into his shoulders, like a hair extension, while Hoechlin clearly has clasps to hold his cape in place. Cavill’s cape is a CGI creation; Hoechlin’s is clearly leather (or some sort of similar material).

* Season two saw fan favorite director Kevin Smith take over for an episode.
