Shows that feel likeDC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016–2022)

When heroes alone are not enough ... the world needs legends. Having seen the future, one he will desperately try to prevent from happening, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter is tasked with assembling a disparate group of both heroes and villains to confront an unstoppable threat — one in which not only is the planet at stake, but all of time itself. Can this ragtag team defeat an immortal threat unlike anything they have ever known?

If you loved DC's Legends of Tomorrow, the closest series we have are DC's Stargirl (2020), Titans (2018) and Young Justice (2010). All three share DC's Legends of Tomorrow's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Justice League Unlimited (2004).
