DC's Legends of Tomorrow is poised to return in a big way for its second season on Thursday, October 13th at 8pm on The CW. And while the premiere is shaping up to be quite the spectacle thanks to a guest appearance by Arrow star Stephen Amell and the introduction of Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), the follow-up episode looks to double the size of the super-powered cast.

In new images released by the network today for Season 2's second episode, we get our first great looks at the assembled crimefighters known as the Justice Society of America. They include Courtney Whitmore / Stargirl (Sarah Grey), Todd Rice / Obsidian (Dan Payne, though Lance Henriksen will also voice a version of the character), Hank Heywood / Commander Steel (Matthew MacCaull), Amaya Jiwe / Vixen (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), Dr. Mid-Nite (Kwesi Ameyaw), and of course, Rex Tyler / Hourman (Patrick J. Adams).

Before checking out the fantastic images below, take a look at the episode synopsis for "The Justice Society of America":

TEAM WORK -- The Legends travel to Nazi-occupied Paris, but find themselves surrounded by the Justice Society of America (AKA JSA.) The Legends discover a time aberration that threatens the JSA, but the JSA wants nothing to do with them or their help. Nevertheless, the Legends force their way into the JSA's mission to intercept and seize a mysterious package. Nate (Nick Zano) is desperate to prove that he should be part of the team, but he has a secret that he shares with his grandfather Commander Steel (Matthew MacCaull) that might make it difficult. Ray (Brandon Routh) is so focused on impressing the JSA, he puts himself and Vixen (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) in danger. Meanwhile, Stein (Victor Garber) has stepped in as the leader with Rip (Arthur Darvill) gone, but when decisions aren't being made Sara (Caity Lotz) seems to be the one calling the shots. Dominic Purcell and Franz Drameh also star. Michael Grossman directed the episode written by Chris Fedak & Sarah Nicole Jones.

Here's the second season synopsis for DC's Legends of Tomorrow:

After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new threat emerges. Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), an unconventional and charming historian, is thrust into the action upon making a shocking discovery - the Legends are scattered throughout time.

 

Nate must find a way to rescue season one’s beloved team of heroes and rogues, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to miniscule size, as the Atom; Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), the White Canary, a trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm; and Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), aka Heat Wave, a career criminal. When the Legends encounter the J.S.A (the Justice Society of America, the precursor to DC’s Justice League) in the 1940s, Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), aka Vixen, joins the team. While the team reunites, a mystery looms - the fate of former captain Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill).

 

Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations - unusual changes to history that spawn potentially catastrophic consequences. When Nate, the grandson of J.S.A. member Commander Steel, unexpectedly finds himself with powers, he must overcome his own insecurities and find the hero within himself. Ultimately, the Legends will clash with foes both past and present, to save the world from a mysterious new threat.
