There's been a lot of news coming out of Comic-Con and while The CW's DC TV shows were somewhat overshadowed by Marvel Studios, we definitely have a long list of reasons to be excited about their return this fall. In the case of The Flash, we'll be kicking things off by learning how Barry Allen escapes the Speed Force. However, he won't have too long to catch his breath as The Thinker will be taking aim at Barry Allen. That's right, we're finally getting a big bad in the show who isn't another speedster!
Neil Sandilands (The 100) is set to take on the role of Clifford Devoe/The Thinker, a metahuman with a mega mind who embarks on a season-long battle with The Flash that pits the "fastest man alive" against the "fastest mind alive." A true genius, it's said that he’s devised an intricate plan to fix all that he deems wrong with humanity. So, speed is still going to factor into things but not literally thankfully!
Danny Trejo (Machete) is Breacher, a feared bounty hunter from Earth-19 and the imposing father of inter-dimensional bounty hunter Gypsy. His mission is to prevent any inter-dimensional traveller from threatening life on his planet — especially his daughter’s. Kim Engelbrecht (Dominion) is The Mechanic, a highly intelligent engineer who designs devices for Devoe. As Devoe’s right hand, she’s the truest of true believers who’ll stop at nothing to help him implement his plan to fix humanity. Sounds good!
