Dc Legends of Tomorrow Dont You Make Me Come Down Here Again

[Alert: The beneath contains MAJOR spoilers for the Season 7 finale of DC'due south Legends of Tomorrow, "Knocked Downward, Knocked Upward." And if that title doesn't clue you into at to the lowest degree one evolution, you might want to go back in fourth dimension to see where yous lost your mode.]

The squad said farewell to Season 7 this night in an hr that also saw them losing a beloved member and learning that a teeny-tiny 1 might be joining them, via an unexpectedly expectant Sara (Caity Lotz). In add-on, there was the debut of Scrubs vet Donald Faison as DC Comics' Booster Gilded, a resolution to the Adept-vs.-Evil Gideon (Amy Louise Pemberton) saga, a romantic rescue during World War 1 for Gwyn (Matt Ryan), and, in the episode'southward final seconds, a raid on the Waverider by some Time Bureau types hunting down our band of history-tinkering misfits.

Should they become an eighth-flavor renewal, showrunner Phil Klemmer has large plans for their futures that even fourth dimension travelers won't see coming. Here are some…

Congratulations on surviving what was probably your most difficult or challenging season. I hateful, setting it as a period piece… I was really just reflecting on that. Role of me wishes nosotros had stayed there longer. I really missed Texas, 1925. It was all so much simpler then before we had to deal with either the Commencement Earth State of war or the specter of a 3rd World War…. [Laughs]

Well, you could get back there next season. Well, no. We're unfortunately dealing with a real imprisonment out of space and fourth dimension, I think. The Legends have fudged up in such a fashion that they're non going to exist allowed to exist within the timeline. And look, nosotros touched on the Vanishing Bespeak in Season one, so we're not going to retrace those steps quite so closely. I hate to say it, merely it's time to build some new standing sets, and the fact that I have Constantine gargoyle sitting on my desk right here in forepart of me is proof that we won't be going back to the business firm.

And then we're looking at the Trial of the Legends, peradventure? Exactly. Yeah. Could we make a whole season that?

If everyone is, uh, tried separately. And that too gives you a wealth of characters to possibly pull back in who have been maybe negatively impacted by the Legends. I think it'll be something between Judgment at Nuremberg and Dorsum to School. [Laughs] Because nosotros don't want it to be total incarceration.

Oh, no. Is this similar, they have to become back to training? I think there might be some playful reeducation, which we all know they don't think they need.

When you call up of it, literally everyone but Ava has jumped into this job without any actual professional person grooming. They don't know the police and ethics of time travel. Or anything! It's akin to my own career in screenwriting as a total autodidact. I recollect we demand at least one professional in the room…. Actually, I retrieve a couple of our writers have been to flick schoolhouse. [Laughs]

So: Time Travel University? I don't think it's gonna be Ivy League quads and stuff like that. It'll exist a little prison, a petty reeducation. And and so there'll be a new mythology and a new big bad backside information technology, you know? Our big bad this flavour was [substantially] artificial intelligence, like which Gideon was to be trusted? Who should be in charge of the timeline? We've taken on magical creatures, we've taken on historical figures, so we'll have to detect a new way to skin this old cat.

Information technology sounds like you'll be looking at major corporations and government. Capitalism is in our sights. We're going to look at the corrosive effects of capitalism and industry run amok.

That'll sit well with Zari (Tala Ashe). [Laughs] I know. It'south too great that nosotros're the show created by ii massive corporations. They're gonna exist like, "What are you guys doing?! Ya bunch of lefties—who do you call back pays for your special effects?"

Right! Now, how exercise you meet Ava (Jes Macallan) and Sara every bit parents? I don't recall anybody really has an understanding of who they're gonna exist as a parent until information technology really happens. And it'due south fun because I imagine Ava would be the type of person who would read every possible book, and Sara would exist the person who's but like, "As long every bit we've got diapers and a automobile seat for the Waverider, the kid's gonna be fine." [Laughs]

Do you want to show Sara pregnant and going through this, or would they already have the baby when you come up dorsum? That's a question for Caity Lotz and how long she feels like wearing a pregnancy prosthesis and how she feels near doing intricate stunts while wearing said prosthetic. [Laughs]

And Nate saying goodbye—is this a permanent thing? Considering no! Ugh, I know. Information technology's a painful thing. I e'er hope that they come back, I really do. Having those people back for the 100th episode was like, "God, it notwithstanding works. They [picked back up] automatically." So look, Nick Zano wants to be in Malibu, which is not a crazy thing. And if somebody tells me they wanna exist in Malibu with their wife and children, all you can say is "God bless," right? But that was a rough goodbye.

It's an interesting tag-out: He leaves just every bit you bring in Donald Faison…as Booster Golden! I know.

It's shocking you could get your hands on the graphic symbol. I'm still expecting somebody to say, "Haha. That was all a large joke!" Maybe it'south our underdog status? No, that'due south not actually our status, simply our mentality. I tin can't shake that.

I mentioned this in another interview, simply there is this moment where they meet him in the finale, and Nick and Donald have this moment where information technology feels similar this acknowledgment of somebody walking in the door and somebody walking out. It's actually interesting to picket because I don't know if they were even cognizant of what they were doing, but I swear to God, it feels like Zano is giving his rabbit'south pes to Donald and being like, "Good luck with it, buddy."

Bettina Strauss/The CW

Is the programme to proceed Donald on the board? For sure. Nosotros're non gonna let Booster get away. I'm really excited to write him—he's the kind of character you wish you could be. You could become away with murder and be so charming that you never actually take to suffer the consequences. He's the antithesis of a writer. Writers are deeply neurotic and self-loathing self-doubting, etcetera. I recall that'southward why we writers are drawn to those characters—because those are our underground change egos.

Despite being arrested, the team ends up pretty solid with ane another. I'm guessing that won't concluding long. I don't know. Nosotros kept the squad split upwards for the first half of the season, and then we allowed them to become reunited. I tin't tell which I similar more, because getting the band back together is so great, but breaking them into small groups is so interesting. It forced Astra [Olivia Swann], Spooner [Lisseth Chavez], and Gideon to kind of define themselves when they were decoupled from the circus, literally. I like doing that over again with different groupings, and then I don't know. I of the virtues of having so many characters on your show is that there are infinite varieties of triplets and duets. It would take 11 episodes for Spooner and Zari to sit at a bar and be like, "And so tell me, what's your story? Who are you?"

And an endless supply of stories, besides. Yeah, I don't know if nosotros'll ever feel done. Only there is a comfort of having a grapheme like Nate leave the show the way we intended. I've been proud of the way we've been able to take people come and become that feels organic and in concert with what the performers want. And who knows where this Booster guy fits? It would have us a lot of time just to uncover where he belongs. Nosotros don't need one season to wrap this thing up—we demand, similar, four seasons, which is— I'm not gunning for Supernatural. [Laughs]

Do you have plans to bring in whatsoever other characters, like new team members or even familiar faces? Non yet. We barely got through last flavour. [Laughs] I wouldn't disbelieve it, but I call back at this moment, like with Booster, with Zari coming into her ain, with Sara and Ava wrapping their artillery around a family unit they're about to have, Astra and Spooner's friendship, Astra and Behrad'southward budding romance…I experience we have more stories and more than characters than we have time for. So I think we're expert.
