After crash landing the Waverider in a version of 2017 Los Angeles where dinosaurs roam the streets and the skyline is adorned with London’s iconic Big Ben clock tower, the Legends were quick to realize that they broke time.

Black Lightning, 4:50–5:10 p.m, Ballroom 20. The DC hero makes his Comic-Con debut. Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) is a man wrestling with a secret. As the father of two daughters and principal of a charter high school that also serves as a safe haven for young people in a neighborhood overrun by gang violence, he is a hero to his community. Nine years ago, Pierce was a hero of a different sort. Gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, he used those powers to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life on the line, and seeing the effects of the damage and loss that his alter ego was inflicting on his family, he left his Super Hero days behind and settled into being a principal and a dad. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters Anissa (Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) grow into strong young women, even though his marriage to their mother, Lynn (Christine Adams), suffered. Almost a decade later, Pierce’s crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns – to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community. On deck to discuss are series stars Cress Williams, Nafessa Williams, China Anne McClain and Christine Adams, along with EPs Salim Akil & Mara Brock Akil. Black Lightning premieres midseason on The CW.

The Flash, 5:10–5:50 p.m, Ballroom 20. The Fastest Man Alive is now trapped inside an extra-dimensional energy, and unknown dangers are lurking in the shadows, and it’s up to Team Flash to free Barry Allen from his own personal Hell. At Comic-Con will be stars Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale and producers of The CW’s highest-rated series. The Flash season four zips back to CW on Tuesday, Oct. 10, at 8/7c.

Arrow, 5:50–6:30 p.m, Ballroom 20. We left off with the emotional showdown between Oliver Queen and Adrian Chase in season 5. Now, the focus shifts to uncovering the fate of each and every member of Team Arrow. Could anyone have possibly survived an island-wide explosion, or has the book closed on them, as it has on Oliver’s five-year flashback story? Returning to San Diego Comic-Con for a sixth consecutive year are cast members Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, Paul Blackthorne, Katie Cassidy, Echo Kellum, Juliana Harkavy, Rick Gonzalez and series producers. Season six moves to its new night on Thursday, October 12, at 9/8c on The CW.
