In the closing minutes of The Flash's third season, Barry Allen sacrificed himself by entering the Speed Force to save Central City and the world from being destroyed. Someone had to take the place of Savitar and, as a result, the Scarlet Speedster was forced to say goodbye to his friends and family.
Common sense says Barry will find his way home by the end of the premiere and things will quickly go back to normal ("Flashpoint" infuriatingly lasted for just a single episode), but the title of the episode still leaves us with plenty to think about. As you can see below, it's called "The Flash Reborn," a title which should bring back memories of a story penned by Geoff Johns named "The Flash: Rebirth."
That brought The Fastest Man Alive back into the land of the living after his apparent demise and it makes sense on a number of levels as it's easy to imagine us getting a new and invigorated Flash after his time spent trapped in the Speed Force. Perhaps he'll finally be getting an updated costume!
We'll have to wait and see but feel free to share your thoughts and theories in the usual place.
