Lance Henricksen Cast as ‘Obsidian’ on Legends of Tomorrow!

If you thought the first season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was amazing, just hold onto your hat for season 2. With the Justice Society of America coming together facing off against the ‘Legion of Doom‘ the show is really going to take off. Today we have the exciting news that actor Lance Henrickson has been cast for the role of ‘Obsidian‘. If you are unfamiliar with the ‘Obsidian‘ character we have some details on that for you below. Check it out and let us know what you think AFTER THE JUMP! DC’s Legends of Tomorrow kicks off its second season on October 13th.

In the pages of DC Comics, Obsidian is typically one of the younger members of the team, the son of the original Green Lantern Alan Scott. Casting an older actor could indicate that they’ll only be meeting Obsidian in the present-day or even the future, as producers have already confirmed that the JSA will be a WWII era team of heroes. Thanks to the time travel aspect of the show, it’s very possible we’ll meet the JSA several times, each time with different lineups.
