The CW DC Superhero Universe Headcanon, Season 3: Legends

2/9/2024

0 Comments

 
The CW DC Superhero Universe is like our universe, finite, but constantly expanding.  Last season we added Gotham to the mix of shows, and we saw an alternate universe Barry Allen (aka the 1990s TV show) enter the canon. This season brings us the show Constantine, and brings us yet another speedster from yet another universe, Jay Garrick.

There are time jumps in every show between last season and this one. Sometimes, this is my editorial decision cutting out some of the less interesting parts of continuity but, in the case of The Flash, it's just what happened in the series. 

The focus of this season is the adventures of John Constantine. After this season, he'll disappear for a long time, as his solo show only had a one season run. But the series was a solid adaptation of the comic series, and he will eventually play a role in the larger DC universe.

This season also puts together the B-Team cast from Arrow and Flash and elevates them to easily the most fun part of this continuity, a team of time traveling heroes called The Legends of Tomorrow.

Season 3:
​Legends


(301. Non Est Asylum  (Constantine)
(Constantine, Chas, Manny, Astra, Ritchie Simpson)

One of Constantine's dead old friends contacts him and tells him to protect his daughter, who is having A Terrible Day. A demon is involved so Constantine, Chas, and an angel named must work together to protect her. 



​302. Haunted (Arrow)
(Oliver Queen, Thea Queen, Laurel Lance, Quentin Lance, John Diggle, Constantine, Sara Lance, Damian Darkh)

There's been a massive time jump since the last time we saw Team Arrow. Oliver is himself again, and running for mayor. Thanks to the Lazarus Pits, Sara is alive again...sort of, and Oliver needs to figure out a way to stop the resurrected Sara from killing Thea, who, you know, killed her first. Plus, we meet Damian Darkh. Back on the island, Oliver has a team-up with Constantine.


303. The Man Who Saved Central City (Flash)
(Barry Allen, Iris West, Cisco Ramone, Caitlin Snow, Joe West, Harrison Wells 1, Martin Stein, Henry Allen, Ronnie Raymond, David Singh, Jay Garrick, Zoom)

Six months after the singularity that ended last season, Central City's mayor wants to give The Flash the key to the city, but everyone is still reeling from the betrayals and  deaths from last season to think properly.


304. Flash of Two Worlds (Flash)
(Barry Allen, Iris West, Cisco Ramone, Caitlin Snow, Joe West, Martin Stein, Patty Spivot, Jay Garrick, David Singh, Zoom, Francine West, Harrison Wells II)

Jay Garrick, The Flash from another Earth, arrives and wants to help Barry catch the criminals that Zoom is bringing through breaches between the Earths. Team Flash is justifiably cautious, given the whole Harrison Wells situation.


305. A Feast Of Friends (Constantine)
(Constantine, Zed, Manny)

A hunger demon is accidentally released when one of Constantine's Newcastle friends gets caught by US customs.  


306. Scarification (Gotham)
​(Jim Gordon, Selina Kyle, Oswald Cobblepot, Butch Gilzean, Bridgit Pike, Theo Galavan, Harvey Bullock, Nathaniel Barnes, Leslie Thompkins, Edward Nygma, Kristen Kringle, Tabitha Galavan)

When GCPD targets The Penguin's empire, he reigns down revenge in fire.


307. Mommy's Little Monster (Gotham)
​(Jim Gordon, Theo Galavan, Edward Nygma, Selina Kyle, Oswald Cobblepot, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, Butch Gilzean, Silver St. Cloud, Harvey Bullock, Nathaniel Barnes, Leslie Thompkins, Tabitha Galavan, Victor Zsasz)

The new mayor of Gotham has quickly turned his powerful friends into powerful enemies. Butch finally has his freedom, Edward Nygma works on self-confidence, Selina and Silver St. Cloud meet, and The Penguin's target of revenge changes significantly.


308. The Fury Of Firestorm (Flash)
(Barry Allen, Iris West, Cisco Ramone, Caitlin Snow, Joe West, Martin Stein, Jefferson Jackson, Patty Spivot, Christine McGee, Francine West, King Shark, Harrison Wells II)

In order to save Professor Stein, Team Flash must find a new partner compatible with the Firestorm Matrix. Plus, Iris's mom is back in town, and nobody is happy about it. 


309. Danse Vaudou (Constantine)
(Constantine, Chas, Zed, Manny, Jim Corrigan, Papa Midnite)

In attempting to help people get closure with dead relatives, Papa Midnite accidentally resurrects ghosts who are wreaking havoc in New Orleans. Chas, Zed, and Constantine team up with Jim Corrigan to figure out how to help the ghosts find peace.


310. Enter Zoom (Flash)
(Barry Allen, Iris West, Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Patty Spivot, Harrison Wells II, Linda Park II, Linda Park)

Dr. Light, one of the metahumans that Zoom brought through the breach, happens to be the Earth 2 counterpart of one of Iris's coworkers. 


311. Legends Of Yesterday (Flash)
(Barry Allen, Oliver Queen, John Diggle, Felicity Smoak, Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Harrison Wells II, Thea Queen, Kendra Saunders, Malcolm Merlyn, Vandal Savage, Patty Spivot, Carter Hall, Damian Darkh, Jay Garrick, Joe West, Samantha Clayton)

Cisco's new girlfriend is the target of the latest villain of the week, leading Team Flash to seek out Team Arrow for protection.


312. Legends Of Today (Arrow)
(Barry Allen, Oliver Queen, Felicity Smoak, Cisco Ramon, Kendra Saunders, Carter Hall, Malcolm Merlyn, Vandal Savage, Samantha Clayton, Caitlin Snow, Thea Queen, John Diggle, Laurel Lance)

Vandal Savage won't rest until he gets his hands on Hawkman and Hawkgirl, the two least interesting characters in the DC Superhero universe. Oh, and Oliver finally finds out about his son. Then....time shenanigans!


313 & 314. Legends Of Tomorrow (Legends)
(Sara Lance, Ray Palmer, Mick Rory, Leonard Snart, Martin Stein, Jackson Jefferson, Vandal Savage, Rip Hunter, Kendra Saunders, Carter Hall, Oliver Queen, Laurel Lance, Gideon)

A rogue Time Master is out to stop Vandal Savage from destroying the world, and he assembles a team of eight characters from The Flash and Arrow to travel through time to help him. Oh, and for some reason their ship is the same computer system that Harrison Wells The First had.


315. Rage Of Caliban (Constantine)
(Constantine, Chas, Manny)

John and Chas go on a road trip that involves a series of muders possibly involving child abuse, which, naturally, leads to some of their own childhood traumas.


317. Blessed Are The Damned (Constantine)
(Constantine, Zed, Manny, Eddie, Sara Lance, Michael)

After his successful (?) road trip with Chaz, John teams up with Zed again to investigate a snake cul with a resurrected leader. We also get our first taste that this is part of the larger universe as Black Canary appears.


318. Fail Safe (Legends)
(Sara Lance, Cisco Ramon, Leonard Snart, Ray Palmer, Mick Rory, Martin Stein, Jefferson Jackson, Ray Palmer, Kendra Saunders, Rip Hunter, Vandal Savage)

It's  a prison break episode! And not just because Captain Cold and Heatwave are in it. This is a fun Bringing The Team Together episode.
 

319 & 320. Saint Of Last Resorts (Constantine)
(Constantine, Chas, Zed, Eddie, Michael)

More fallout from the Newcastle Exorcism threatens Constantine's friends and associates. Team Constantine decides to reveal some truths about themselves in order to gain each others' trusts.


321. Son Of Gotham (Gotham)
(Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Leslie Thompins, Bruce Wayne,  Alfred Pennyworth, Selina Kyle, Oswald Cobblepott, Edward Nygma, Silver St Cloud, Tabitha Galavan, Theo Galavan, Harvey Dent, Nathaniel Barnes, Aubrey James, Father Creal) 

Blackgate Penitentiary is just as much of a revolving door for criminals as Arkham Asylum. The Order Of Saint Dumas turns out to be a family affair that will engulf Gotham and threaten Bruce Wayne and many of those around him.

322. Star City 2049 (Legends)
(Olvier Queen, Sara Lance, Leonard Snart, Ray Palmer, Mick Rory, Conor Hawke, Martin Stein, Jefferson Jackson, Ray Palmer, Kendra Saunders, Rip Hunter, Deathstroke)

The Arrowverse future is very similar and highly related to the main time period in the show. So we see a lot of mirroring to previous storylines and a ton of drama involving the next generation dealing with the previous generations baggage. But, unlike in Arrow, instead of being bleak and shadowy, it's fun and bright.


323. Angels & Ministers Of Grace (Constantine)
(Constantine, Chas, Zed, Manny, Linda, Jim Corrigan)

Zed has a tumor that might be responsible for her visions. Manny and Constantine switch up their techniques in hopes of impeding some of the impending doom.

​
324. Worse Than A Crime (Gotham) 
(Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Leslie Thompins, Bruce Wayne, Alfred Pennyworth, Selina Kyle, Oswald Cobblepott, Edward Nygma, Barbara Kean, Lucius Fox, Silver St Cloud, Tabitha Galavan, Theo Galavan, Nathaniel Barnes, Aubrey James, Father Creal, Ethel Peabody, Victor Fries)
