Legends of Tomorrowseason 2 will feature a full roster of Justice Society of America members.
We already met Hourman (Patrick J. Adams) in the season finale.

Theres something to be said for this.
The JSA come very much out of a period where heroes were expected to behave a certain way.
Its a generational culture clash that we thought would be funny, Mr. Klemmer said.
If youre doing time travel put them in face to face with an earlier eras version of themselves.
So far, we know of the six JSA members mentioned at the top of the article.
No word yet on whether there might be more, but honestly, six is probably enough.
Not all of them in every episode, he said.

And we have this team who doesnt do things right, theyre a bunch of fuckups.
Sadly, that likely means that John Wesley Shipps Jay Garrick was never a member.
Perhaps best of all, this isnt a gimmick or a walk-on.
The JSAs presence will be felt even when they arent around.
