“DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow” Hints At A Romance Between Citizen Cold And John Constantine
Just when we thought the CW’s superhero universe couldn’t get any queerer, they up the ante: Viewers of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow may see some romantic chemistry brewing between Citizen Cold (Wentworth Miller) and John Constantine (Matt Ryan), two new additions to the team of time-traveling heroes.
The CW Citizen Cold is an alternate universe version of Captain Cold (both are played by out actor Wentworth Miller). Introduced in November’s big four-part crossover “Crisis on Earth X,” which spanned Arrow, Supergirl, Flash and Legends, Citizen Cold is openly gay and in a relationship with the Ray (Russell Tovey).
Ryan first debuted as the occult detective in NBC’s Constantine in 2014, before leaping to the Arrowverse for Legends’ third season. In the comic books, Constantine is canonically bisexual.
The CW In a recent interview with Nerdist, Dominic Purcell, who plays Legend’s hot-headed Heatwave (a.k.a. Mick Rory), revealed that Ryan and Miller’s characters shared a mutual attraction.
“Well, Trenchcoat [Constantine] has just arrived and I’ve only had one scene with him,” Purcell said. “He was hitting on Wentworth’s character… Rory watching Citizen Cold and Trenchcoat flirt with one another was like too much for Rory, so he just fucking got out of there.”
Is it just a little flirting or the start of a bad romance? We’ll have to wait till February 12 when Legends of Tomorrow returns to the CW.

Considering the producers of Constantine clutched their pearls when people who ask them about his sexuality, this is a refreshing change.

I thought the same thing r1, what a difference a change in showrunners make.
I remember the people who ran the Constantine show were adamantly opposed to making the character bisexual.

Is heat Wave supposed to be gay too? I watch the show only extremely sporadically.

Is Miller back on th show as a regular? He entertained me, during the first season.
Not even Brandon Routh's pretty face can interest me without Captain Cold.

The producers of "Constantine" also never showed him smoking.
In the first few episodes, nothing, but then there was some CGI cigarette smoke added like John had just put out a cigarette.
Then they progressed to having John holding a cigarette and then putting it out in an ashtray.
So, at least the producers of his NBC show were okay finally acknowledging that John is a smoker, but absolutely not a man-lover.
BTW, did David Goyer have anything to do with the "Constantine" show? He was the one who de-gayed Leonardo da Vinci.

Was that it? Kind of underwhelmed by the whole thing. Never cared for Constantine then the two supposed bisexuals (Constantine and Sarah) hook up with each other? And then Cold is leaving Legends out of nowhere at the end of the episode (he just joined them)? WTF?

Two years ago, DC had Constantine flirting hard with Nightwing...
Imagine Matt Ryan still playing Constantine, and who could be Nightwing in that scenario? DL Fave Ben Barnes???
I'd watch!

Star Trek: Discovery's take on the concept was a lot better.

Although given Sara in the jumpsuit and blue eye shadow, Marvel should sign her to star in a Dazzler movie RFN.

I think Constantine will be back later on this season.

Let's face it, EVERY scifi show has done a time loop episode so this one wasn't going to be anything new and spectacular, but it was fun because of the characters

I can't explain it but I love Legends. It's shite and knows it. I respect that. Although, I am disappointed with the "ISIS" character.
That NBC Constantine show was actually good--tho it took a few episodes to get going--but they stuck on Friday so they wanted it to fail.

The actress who plays Zari was actually playing the violin. That's about as impressive to me as an actor doing his own stunts.
I don't think the show is shitty. It just really loves the characters and doesn't take itself seriously.

An actor who can play the violin is impressive to you? I'm sure she can also perform ballet, tap dance and play the piano. Isn't that part of the "Getting into show business" process young entertainers go through?

WTF? Why does Sarah break up with her girlfriend?? That sucks.
So now they're gonna pair up Sarah with Constantine?
I'm not understanding any of that shit about the totems.

About time r24
R25 Each of the totems were used to bind a powerful demon but those who followed the death totem end up giving their allegiance to the demon Malus.

Yeah, is it the same poster starting all these threads about this Constantine character being bisexual or whatever? There have been a million fucking threads trying to promote the hell out of this.

So some demon totems can be used for good? Like what Rory did tonight?
And Darke wants to connect them all sort of like what Thanos wants to do in Marvel Land?

I think Constantine needs to do whatever it was he and Gary did again. Gary deserves it. At a bare minimum, he could have kissed him.
He did say something about talking about the "virgin situation" as they were walking away together.
They appear to have turned Constantine into the Legends' answer to Jack Harkness. Good choice.

After the unicorn, Gary's virginity went from "technical" to "non-existent."

Constantine works better as an occasional guest star - he doesn’t belong in a super hero group - though I enjoyed his appearance in this episode.

Love Nate and his dad. Biff is pretty great in this role.
So the Legends don’t get paid? I didn’t know the actor was taking a step back from the show, too bad.
Constantine is cool with all those Dr. Strange circle thingies.
