It’s April 24, 2024 - Today The Flash Vanishes In The Future

 

If you are a fan of The Flash and have followed the television series released under the “Arrowverse” on The CW, then you’d know that today’s date is significant as far as a certain timeline in a possible future of the show goes!

On April 25, 2024 The Flash goes missing and vanishes during a crisis - alluding to Barry Allen’s sacrifice during the events of “Crisis On Infinite Earths” as depicted during the famous comic book crossover event but of course happening differently in the Arrowverse. Since the CW Flash series ended nearly two years ago it never managed to reach this date - but the plotline was resolved and retconned eventually during the show’s run and Barry survives and gets his happy ending in the end with his lady love Iris West Allen and his friends.

Still we honor this date in popular culture history, and so did the official The Flash FB page and Barry Allen actor Grant Gustin on his official Instagram!

The Flash: First look of Keiynan Lonsdale as "Kid Flash" for Season 3

With just a week away until San Diego Comic Con and filming for the show already commencing by this point, Warner Bros., DC Entertainment, and The CW have officially revealed the first look at actor Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West... Who is now fully suited up as Kid Flash! Those who remember the latter episodes of Season 2 will know full well that Wally was exposed to energies from the second particle accelerator explosion that Barry Allen tried using to restore his powers... And while that didn't work out, this is most likely the reveal we're going to get once Season 3 pops in.

On the other hand, Barry went to the past at the end of Season 2 and started the whole "Flahspoint" thing which is the title of the first episode of Season 3, so whether Wally comes into the picture later or is a result of any alterations in the timeline is anyone's guess. We'll find out soon enough when The Flash returns this October... For now, read more on the scoop via Entertainment Weekly.

The Flash: Brand new Season 2 Poster and Extended "Invincible" Trailer released

If you haven't caught the latest episode of "The Flash" this season, this one's a literal trip down Speed Force lane... And it's presented and directed by none other than comic book writer and director himself, the legendary Fat Man Kevin Smith! To say Grant Gustin's performance as Barry Allen in this episode called "The Runaway Dinosaur" is "Trippy" is just a small way of describing it... This was an AWESOME episode chalk full of emotional content and the stuff that makes this show one of the best superhero TV series to date, if not ever!



If that's not all, The CW has released an extended trailer on the next episode called "Invincible", and it sees Zoom amassing an army of Metahumans from Earth 2... With Katie Cassidy back on the Arrowverse as her Earth-2 counterpart Black Siren.

The Flash has two more episodes left until Season 2 wraps up.

That means that Grant Gustin/ Barry Allen will be guest starring in the show that features Melissa Benoist as Kara Zor-El, meaning two former Glee stars are now heroes working together in what is going to be another milestone in DC TV Show history!

The Flash: Robbie Amell will return as "Deathstorm" in Season 2

The Fire still burns... Or in this particular case for fans of The CW's "The Flash", Robbie Amell will be returning once more for the second season of the show as Ronnie Raymond/ Firestorm... But with a major twist.

According to EW, the version of Ronnie that will be seen once Season 2 resumes is from Earth 2... And is known as "Deathstorm". Those familiar with the DC Comics events "Blackest Night" and "Brightest Day" will remember this twisted evil version of Firestorm, as well as the New 52 era event "Forever Evil".
