Barry Allen has been “The Flash” for one and a half seasons now, but he’s still learning. Throughout the course of season 2 Barry has learned to throw lightning thanks to Jay Garrick and he also improved his speed mirage skills. But will we see Barry learn any other new powers during the second half of season 2?
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg recently spoke to EW and he didn’t sound too optimistic about Barry learning more new powers in season 2. However he did say that we haven’t seen the last of the Lightning Throw.
“The Lightning Throw was his big new one for this year. The Flash can do a lot of amazing things, but like David Nutter, who directed the pilot, always said, “You want to make sure he doesn’t get too good at his powers too quickly, because then he becomes unstoppable, and it gets harder and harder for us to devise ways for him to be in trouble.” I think the Lightning Throw is going to get a couple more outings.” Kreisberg said.
Well that’s too bad but there’s always next season right? With a lack of new powers being developed it sounds like Barry might need a little help from someone else in the DC Universe. Sounds like Supergirl would be the perfect candidate to backup the Scarlet Speedster. So has there been any more talk regarding a potential Flash/Supergirl crossover? According to Kreisberg the outlook is not so good.
“No. We’re making Flash, and we’re making Supergirl.” he added.
“The Flash” airs Tuesdays on the CW at 8pm EST.
