DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 2: 6 Ups And 4 Downs From 'Out Of Time'
3. The Handling
Of Nate Heywood
The CW
The introduction to any soon-to-be major
player in a show such as DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is hugely important - if
bungled from the get-go, a newcomer can soon be seen as an afterthought by
viewers – and Legends did a great job of bringing Dr. Nate Heywood into the
fold in this season premiere.
In using the beloved Oliver Queen character
as a tool to smoothly transition Nate into the general narrative of where
things now are with our Legends, The CW handled this debut brilliantly and in a
way that felt natural and seamless.
Added to this, we also saw that Doc Heywood
has some serious smarts about him due to the fact that he’d easily deduced that
Oliver Queen and the Green Arrow are one and the same. Of course, you’d think
that most logical people would’ve pieced that together by now given how The
Hood/Arrow/Green Arrow turned up at the same time that Ollie reappeared after 5
years of apparent death. Still, nobody else really has worked this out, marking Nate Heywood as smarter than the
average bear where The CW is concerned.

In addition to his current WhatCulture role of Senior Content Producer and Presenter, Andrew previously spent nearly a decade as Online Editor and Lead Writer for the world's longest-running genre publication, Starburst Magazine, and his work has also been featured on BBC, TechRadar, Tom's Guide, WhatToWatch, Sportkskeeda, and various other outlets, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved film critic.
Between his main day job, his role as lead panel host of Wales Comic Con, and his gig as a pre-match host for Wrexham AFC games, Andrew has also carried out a hugely varied amount of interviews, from the likes of Robert Englund and Eli Roth to Kevin Smith and the Russo Brothers, to Kevin Conroy and Frank Miller, to Bret Hart and Sting, to Mickey Thomas, Joey Jones, Phil Parkinson, and Brian Flynn, to many, many more.
