“The Flash” season 4 will be a bit of a change of pace for Team Flash because they won’t be facing off against a speedster this time around, as they’ll be taking on The Thinker. The tagline for the new season is “the fastest man alive vs. the fastest mind alive” and it sounds like The Thinker will challenge the members of Team Flash in a way that they’ve never been challenged before.
Producers Andrew Kreisberg and Todd Helbing recently revealed some new details about The Thinker in a “Producer’s Preview” video and they teased that we’ll be seeing some surprises in the new season.
“We tend to think of The Flash as an athlete, like a runner, and so much of his previous seasons have been about training harder or running faster. But he’s up against a villain this season that he can’t outrun, it’s somebody that he has to outthink. And it’s gonna take him, Cisco and Caitlin and a few other surprise people to be able to get one step ahead of The Thinker.”
It’s already been confirmed that the Elongated Man will be featured in “The Flash” season 4, so it should be interesting to see who the other surprise people are.

“The Flash” season 4 will premiere on Tuesday, October 10.
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. But when Barry used his extraordinary abilities to travel back in time and save his mother’s life, he inadvertently created an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint; a phenomenon that gave birth to the villainous speed god known as Savitar, and changed the lives of Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Wally West (Keiyan Lonsdale) forever.
With the help of his adoptive father, Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), his lifelong best friend and love interest Iris West (Candice Patton), and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs — Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), C.S.I Julian Albert (Tom Felton), and an Earth-19 novelist named H.R. Wells (Tom Cavanaugh) — Barry continues to protect the people of Central City from the meta-humans that threaten it.
