The Reverse-Flash Breaks Some Bad News In THE FLASH Season 3 Synopsis; "Flashpoint"
When season three of The Flash kicks off, Barry Allen will be living in the "Flashpoint" Universe. However, the ramifications of his trip back in time are revealed in this first synopsis for the premiere...
Was it selfish of Barry Allen to rewrite history in a bid to save the lives of his mother and father? That's debatable, but it's easy enough to understand why he made that fateful decision in The Flash's season two finale. However, what The Fastest Man Alive didn't realise is that making that decision will cost him not only his memories (which make him the person he is), but also the incredible powers he has.
As a result, it sounds like the premiere is going to deal with what's next for Barry as he's forced to decide between this new world and his old one. Of course, it's no secret that this status quo won't last beyond a few episodes, but the Reverse-Flash's role in things is very interesting, especially as we know that he'll be a bad guy in the upcoming second season of Legends of Tomorrow. What do you think?
WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WANTED? — Barry (Grant Gustin) is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he’s asked Iris West (Candice Patton) on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Brooke Roberts.
