The third season of the American television series Legends of Tomorrow, based on DC Comics characters, premiered on The CW on October 10, 2017, and ran for 18 episodes until April 9, 2018. The season follows the Legends, a dysfunctional team of time-traveling superheroes and anti-heroes, and their mission to correct their unintentional anachronisms. Set in the Arrowverse and sharing continuity with that universe's other TV series, it is a spin-off of Arrow and The Flash. The season was produced by Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. Television and DC Entertainment, with Phil Klemmer and Chris Fedak its showrunners.

Ordered in January 2017, production began that July and ended in February 2018. Principal cast members Caity Lotz, Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Franz Drameh, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Amy Pemberton, Nick Zano, and Dominic Purcell return from previous seasons and are joined by new cast members Tala Ashe and The Flash alumnus Keiynan Lonsdale. Drameh, Garber and Lonsdale left the series during the season. Several of the season's recurring characters became regulars during the following season, including Matt Ryan, Jes Macallan, and Courtney Ford.

The season received positive reviews from critics who praised its lightheartedness and cast, and several felt that it was a great improvement over the previous two seasons. The series was nominated for a Best Superhero Television Series, and the season averaged 2.37 million viewers per episode.

Overview

Following the season 2 finale where the Legends attempted to time travel with two versions of themselves aboard the Waverider had a larger impact on time than they thought. Due to this blunder, anachronisms (including objects and people) have popped up along the timeline. Rip Hunter's Time Bureau, a replacement for the Time Masters, forces the Legends to disband and resume normal lives. They are forced back into action as deputized members of the Time Bureau, however, unaware that Rip is planning to use their often-destructive tendencies for a threat bigger than the anachronisms.

| ShortSummary = In an altered Los Angeles the Legends encounter Rip, who reveals that he has created a Time Bureau to replace the Time Masters' Council. Bureau agents fix anachronisms, and Rip disbands the Legends. Six months later they are living normal lives, nostalgic for their previous adventures. In Aruba, Mick captures Julius Caesar, informs the other Legends, and returns to the bureau. After delivering the wrong man and being dismissed by Rip, the Legends steal the Waverider and capture the real Caesar. When Rip demands that they deliver Caesar to the bureau and let them fix the anachronism, the Legends return Caesar to 49{{nbsp}}BC themselves. During the return, Caesar steals Nate's history book and uses this knowledge to conquer the world. The bureau arrives, seizing control of the operation. Agent Ava Sharpe is captured during an excursion to retrieve the book, forcing Rip to allow the Legends to fix the anachronism; he later tells Sharpe that they could be useful in neutralizing Mallus. Amaya, with significantly-improved powers, attacks a group of poachers in 1942 Zambesi.

The Legends receive it and find Seattle under martial law imposed by A.R.G.U.S., which is hunting down metahumans. They find Zari, who demands help rescuing her brother from prison in exchange for learning about her powers. Stein and Nate seek a solution, and Nate synthesizes a Zambesi hallucinogen. Zari uses it to have a vision of an ancestor who advises her to trust her increasing strength. Jax initiates an unplanned prison break; Zari retrieves her brother's amulet (indicating his murder by A.R.G.U.S.) and abandons the team. Ray pursues her to a campsite where her family is to meet. Kuasa attacks the two while Sharpe pursues the Waverider in the timestream. The Legends arrive and Amaya (now in control of her powers) defeats Kuasa, who vanishes using a mystical item; this implies that she is a descendant of hers. Sharpe warns Sara that if the Legends are arrested, they would be banished to the "dawn of time". Amaya decides to stay, and recruits Zari to the team.

Attempting to extract Helen at a party, the team encounters Damien, Nora, and Kuasa; Damien tells Sara that he will spare their lives if they stop time-traveling. Stein meets Hedy Lamarr, and the other male Legends fight over Helen. The female Legends confront Helen privately. After she refuses to return to Troy because men die over her, Helen is captured by the female Legends. Stein learns that Lamarr has become a switchboard operator; because she does not invent frequency-hopping spread spectrum, the Waverider breaks down. The Legends go to Lamarr's workplace, resulting in a confrontation with Damien's forces. Lamarr tells Jax and Stein to merge, which allows them to return to their original bodies. Nora tries to drain Sara's soul but is driven off by Firestorm, leaving Sara comatose. Damien, Nora and Kuasa retreat. A sympathetic Zari brings Helen to Themyscira, instead of Troy.

| ShortSummary = Wally moves into the Waverider and annoys everyone with his super-speed. The team soon finds differences on the ship, such as Nate's hair, Mick's rat's name, and Zari's game. Tracking the anachronism, they learn that mass panic was caused in Memphis, Tennessee in 1954 during a performance by Elvis Presley. Presley's guitar contains the final totem (the Death Totem) which, unlike the other five totems, was used by Mallus. Presley admits he might quit music after the death of his brother. The team brings the guitar back to the Waverider, but begins seeing a ghostly presence. They secure the Death Totem, and convince Elvis to continue pursuing music. Amaya plays Nate music from Zambesi, making the box containing the Death Totem shake.

| ShortSummary = Sara is enticed to open the box and wear the Death Totem; her body again falls under Mallus' control, and her mind is trapped in the demon's realm. Ava and Gary track down Constantine for help. The Legends unsuccessfully try to stop Mallus-Sara. In Mallus' domain, Sara sees visions of what made her the woman she is as Nora tries to convince her to join Mallus. Learning that Sara is using the Death Totem, Constantine tries to enter Mallus' realm to take her place; Mallus blocks him. Amaya convinces Mick to wield the Fire Totem, which stuns Mallus-Sara. Ava rips off the Death Totem, tearfully tries to get Sara to fight back and places her hand on her chest (which Sara feels), convincing her to reject Nora's offer and reclaim her body. Fearing that she might hurt Ava, Sara breaks up with her to protect her.

| ShortSummary = Sara considers leaving the team after her breakup with Ava, but learns from Gary that Ava has not been to work in several days. Sara, Ray, and Gary travel to Ava's home and discover that Ava's "parents" are paid actors. The three travel to 2213, where they learn that Ava is a clone mass-produced by a conglomerate. Apprehended by Ava clones, they are saved by the original Ava (who did not know she was a clone; her memory was wiped by the Time Bureau). Zari teaches Mick to use the Fire Totem. Amaya (in a temporary truce with Kuasa) reclaims her totem, but Nate is captured by Damien. Damien says that he misses Nora and fake-tortures Nate, but is caught by Nora. Amaya, Wally, and Kuasa rescue Nate and confront Nora, but Nora rips the Water Totem out of Kuasa and kills her. Driven by grief and guilt, Amaya returns to 1992 Zambesi to change her family's fate. Ava and Sara realize that Rip deleted Ava's file from the Bureau, and decide to find out why.

| ShortSummary = The Legends stop Gorilla Grodd from killing future president Barack Obama in the 1980s, preventing another anachronism and delaying Mallus' release. Damien realizes that Nora will be killed when Mallus is released, and allies himself with the Legends. By getting actor John Noble to impersonate Mallus' voice, the team tricks Nora into the Waverider and contains her. Ava asks Rip if he knows that she was a clone; Rip says that she is the 12th Ava clone he has recruited because she is a talented agent. Amaya returns to 1992 Zambesi to change history and secure her family's future. Nate, instead of trying to convince her to return, helps her. Sara decides to allow this, causing the final anachronism that will free Mallus after concluding that the only way to stop the demon is to release him. She gives Damien the Death Totem, and the rest of the team wields their individual totems. Damien realizes that Nora is still alive in Mallus and releases Grodd to destroy Zambesi, preventing Mallus' release. Nate subdues Grodd with the Earth Totem, allowing Mallus to break out of his prison and kill Nora.

Vox{{'s}} Sara Ghaleb wrote, "The corner of The CW's Arrowverse became its best self in season three". Ghaleb described the episode as goofy and silly; the premise of the plot seemed ridiculous, but it came together neatly. For Tell-Tale TV, Jennifer Ann rated the season 5/5 and felt that the season finale was a satisfying narrative conclusion.{{Cite web |last=Ann |first=Jennifer |date=April 10, 2018 |title=DC's Legends of Tomorrow Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Cuddly (Season 3 Episode 18) |url=https://telltaletv.com/2018/04/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-review-the-good-the-bad-and-the-cuddly-season-3-episode-18/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240510155635/https://telltaletv.com/2018/04/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-review-the-good-the-bad-and-the-cuddly-season-3-episode-18/ |archive-date=May 10, 2024 |access-date=April 28, 2024 |website=Tell-Tale TV |language=en-US}} IGN's Jesse Scheeden said that the season was the best of the series so far, but had the worst episodes overall and rated it 8.1/10. Scheeden criticized the season's main villain, saying that Mallus did not properly pay off the buildup, and called the totem plot line "boring". However, he praised the team dynamic and the overall cast.{{Cite web |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |date=April 19, 2018 |title=DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 3 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/04/19/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-season-3-review |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620181220/http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/04/19/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-season-3-review |archive-date=June 20, 2018 |access-date=July 18, 2018 |website=IGN}} Collider's Adam Virgona praised the season's transition from science fiction to fantasy.
