’The Flash’ Season 3: What We Know So Far

#1 – Flashpoint Will Affect The CW DC TV Universe

Just like in the comics, Flashpoint will be a game-changer, but not just for this show as it has been confirmed that this arc will have certain effects on the other CW DC shows. With Arrow, it seems that the character that will be most affected by it, is John Diggle. Maybe Flashpoint is what brings Captain Cold back from the dead after his sacrifice in Legends of Tomorrow. What we know about this arc on this particular show is that while it won’t last the whole season, we will see permanent effects throughout the rest of the series as well as the universe. While some things will probably revert back to status quo (like Cisco going back to being an engineer, the Allen parents not being alive and more), it does seem that history in the show will be re-written to some degree.

While we haven’t heard anything about Tom Cavanagh’s arc this season, it has been majorly teased that he will be playing a different Harrison Wells again, as opposed to Earth-2 Harry. Might we finally get to meet the Earth-1 Harrison after all this time? In terms of affecting the larger DC TV Universe, it wouldn’t be surprising if Flashpoint either is directly responsible or partly responsible for merging certain Earths together, like Earth-2 and Supergirl’s Earth as she is moving to The CW this year. Either way, even if Flashpoint will maybe just last for a few episodes, we should expect changes across all the shows, in different capacities.

The Flash Season 3 premieres next Tuesday, October 4 at 8/7c on The CW with the Season 3 premiere “Flashpoint”.
