Tonight’s the night, “The Flash” is finally returning for season 3, and the new season is kicking off with “Flashpoint.” We’ll be diving into the new world that Barry Allen has created and things are going to get interesting.
Both of Barry Allen’s parents are still alive, Wally West is Kid Flash, and the Reverse-Flash is locked up. Barry saved his mother from being killed in the season 2 finale, and it looks like he’s been keeping Eobard Thawne in a cage since then.
The CW has released a clip from “Flashpoint” and it shows a conversation between Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne. Barry drops by Thawne’s cage to give him some food, but instead Thawne gives Barry a reality check.
The clip can be viewed below.
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.
