Despite the fact that his plan was pretty much identical to that of the Reverse-Flash in The Flash's first season, Zoom still made for a great new rival for the Fastest Man Alive during the show's second year. However, he became even more intriguing after being transformed into the Black Flash during the finale, a story decision which seemingly set up some sort of return for the villain down the line.
However, with Flashpoint, Dr. Alchemy, and Savitar all set to take centre stage during The Flash's third season, will there be room for the Black Flash? Based on comments from executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, it definitely sounds like the door is open for the villain to return at some point this year.
"Obviously we did that on purpose," he said of Zoom's surprise transformation. "We love working with Teddy [Sears]. He’s such an amazing actor and amazing person, and was so much a part of the success of this show last season. There aren’t any immediate plans for that, but you can’t keep a good Black Flash down, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing him in the future." What do you guys think?
