Better read up your DC comics this summer in a flash, because Grant Austin just gave us the biggest spoiler for "The Flash" Season 3 premiere.
Grant revealed in the tweet that "The Flash" Season 3 premiere episode title will be "Flashpoint," alluding to the comic written by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert, DC's bosses. In the said comic, Barry Allen wakes up to a world where everything is upside down, quite literally.
Barry wakes up to the heroes as the villains and the villains as heroes - everything he's ever known all becoming otherwise. This is all because he went back in time to save his mom, Nora, resulting to a complete mess up in the timeline of the story and changing the fate of many characters in the show. However, this gives Barry a whole new superpower - he remembers and knows all the timelines that resulted due to his time travel.
This is not all bad for the show's fans and superhero fans in general, according to E! News, because this gives many superheroes and villains alike an opportunity to make an entrance into "The Flash" Season 3, such as Batman, Aquaman, the Joker, the Amazons, and more. However, in this same timeline, the Justice League superheroes, as we know them, will be at war with each other, and due to the whole timeline mix up, there wouldn't even be a "The Flash" superhero. Because of this, according to Christian Today, a new "speedster" may be expected to show up in "The Flash" Season 3. A speedster is someone who has the speed force - someone like the Flash.
Season 2 hinted that this may be the characters Jesse or Wally comes in. In the previous season, the two were hit by the dark matter as Barry tried to get his powers back by using a contained particle accelerator explosion. Since Barry will no longer be "The Flash," would either Jesse or Wally step in as the new hero of the show?
Fans have until October to read up on some DC comics and find more spoilers, just in time for the return of "The Flash" Season 3 on CW.
