'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' SPOILERS: Plot Synopsis Reveals New Details

DC's Legends of Tomorrow will premiere Jan. 21, and the latest plot synopsis for the pilot features plenty of juicy details and spoilers.

The synopsis, posted by Comic Book Movie, rehashes some common knowledge, such as the members of the team who come together to fight Vandal Savage. But perhaps the most interesting new detail is right at the top of the summary, which reveals just how far back in time Rip Hunter travels to bring the team together.

Check out the full synopsis:

"In the year 2166, the immortal villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) is on the verge of his final victory – total chaos and the utter destruction of humanity. As the world crumbles, the Time Master Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) takes matters into his own hands; he travels 150 years into the past to assemble a carefully selected team of heroes and rogues to stop him.

Hunter has chosen what seems like an ill-matched group: billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to minuscule 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; Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), known as Captain Cold, and his partner Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), AKA Heat Wave, a pair of career criminals; and Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renée) and Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel) AKA Hawkgirl and Hawkman.

Together this unlikely group will attempt to stop one of the most formidable villains of all time, while they must learn how to not only be a team, but heroes as well. Glen Winter directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Phil Klemmer and Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg."

What we still don't know: How did Vandal Savage manage to come back to life after Team Arrow and Team Flash turned him to a pile of ashes during the crossover event? It looks like he recovers well enough to almost conquer the entire world in less than two centuries.
