Trailer For New Seasons Of The Flash

Although The CW has given birth to its own veritable superhero universe, we must not forget that at the center are The Flash and Arrow. Trailers for The Flash upcoming seasons premiered at San Diego Comic-Con and featured a surprising amount of new footage, as opposed to being mere sizzle reels.

As we can see, The Flash will find itself in a much different place in its third season. According to Comic Book Resources, a year has passed since Barry Allen has started to live in the new timeline: he’s happy to have his parents back among the living, but those once closest to him are in somewhat different roles. Expect him to not get along with Joe West very well and to see Cisco Ramon as a man of affluence, who is, not surprisingly, a bit of a jerk.

Those who expected to see a literal translation of the comic book story known as Flashpoint will hopefully not be disappointed, as I don’t see how warring Atlanteans and Amazons would have fit into the established confines of the show. At least we’ll get to see some interesting new villains, along with Wally West being The Flash in the new timeline.
