GENERAL DC NEWS:

Legends of Tomorrow boss teases team's new additions (and subtractions)(Date: 09 Feb 2018)
1. Entertainment Weekly spoke to executive producer Marc Guggenheim to get the scoop on Legends of Tomorrow. Mallus will be a fully CG character. Wally kind of feels like he doesn’t fit in anywhere, and he is basically brought to the team by Rip Hunter — so you will definitely see him back — and once Wally meets the Legends, he decides this is a really good group to stay with. Snart does leave the team, but he is not dying.
