Grant Gustin Has Revealed The Title For THE FLASH Season 3 Premiere & It Should Make You Very Happy
While it wasn't exactly the best-kept secret, we've just received official confirmation from Grant Gustin (Barry Allen) on exactly which storyline The Flash season three is planning on adapting.
It's happening! The Flash season three is officially adapting one of the Scarlet Speedster's most popular stories - Flashpoint!
Earlier this afternoon, star Grant Gustin took to Twitter to share that he had just read the season three premiere script, the title of which he said he couldn't reveal. However, after receiving permission from executive producer Greg Berlanti, Gustin quickly let the world know that the title of the season premiere is exactly what many had been predicting since the game-changing season finale: "Flashpoint." It's not a shocker by any means, but it's certainly nice to know that Flashpoint is indeed coming to the DC TV universe.
As for how this storyline will affect Supergirl, Arrow, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow, which are all expected to be a part of the epic four-part crossover this fall, Entertainment Weekly suggests those three shows will continue on in their respective timelines while Barry explores his newly-created one. Whether or not the Flashpoint resolution will come before the crossover event, during, or after is yet-to-be seen, although EW adds that Flashpoint may actually open a door for the Crisis on Infinite Earths story that's been teased since the pilot episode.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!
Last year, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter storm that struck forensic scientist Barry Allen — bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive. But Barry wasn’t the only person who was given extraordinary abilities that night. The dark matter also created meta-humans — many of whom have wreaked havoc on the city. With the help of the S.T.A.R Labs team, Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Harrison Wells, Barry protects the people of Central City from these powerful new threats as The Flash. Following the defeat of Allen's arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash), Team Flash must quickly turn their attention to the singularity swirling high above Central City, consuming everything in its path. Armed with the heart of a hero and the ability to move at super speeds, Barry charged into the eye of the singularity, but can he actually save his city from impending doom?
