Read MoreFor many shows going into their seventh season, it’s time for a reinvention, something that DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is used to. Over the course of the last six seasons, the show has changed so many times, with old cast members leaving and newer ones joining, switching out captains, and changing approaches for saving the timeline.
