    Definitely get a Wally West feel from him. It helps that he's younger like Wally was, as opposed to the age it felt like Barry was when he first became the Flash.

    "I'll be coming home next century" is the theme song.

    No Wells is still dead according to this theory. All past events still occurred and his body was highjacked.

    The Batman parodies take place across different points in the Dark Knight trilogy.

    Theory on why Eobard was erased in the present instead of creating a parallel timeline:

    The fact that both Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens made their singles Raw debuts opposite John Cena should tell anyone what the WWE sees in them. The NXT Takeover special will be a preview into the future of the WWE.

    I would love one of the parodies with the Flash instead, and make it about how everyone knows who the Flash is except Iris.

    Barry is too strong willed to be influenced by Wells like that. That's part of why he hates him. All he did was point Barry in the right direction. Barry was always going to run the way he wanted to.1

    I though Ed was going to be Tom Cavanagh's signature accomplishment as an actor. I wouldve made a $20 bet that Ed would have been what he was remembered for. But he killed it as the Reverse Flash. I pity the actor who has to follow up his portrayal on the big screen in the DCU.

    It's the CW. It's going to happen again. Or maybe it can be the reverse. Iris knows this secret but Barry it's supposed to happen.

    Theory on how the Reverse Flash comes back but Eddie doesnt:

    can't say Excelsior. That's already copyrighted by a man in another universe.

    Barry's dad isnt aware of how time travel works or what happened probably. He's just saying what he feels, and he feels that Barry is supposed to be this hero. In one sense he might be right; perhaps this Barry will change his destiny and escape his disappearance in the crisis.

    Oh and isnt that wonderfully ironic and tragic?

    I think maybe Eobard Thawne had a contingency plan.

    We don't know what the other Flash knows. From the looks of it, Barry knew exactly what the other Flash meant. My theory is that he's like the comic book Flash and he went through this already.

    I'm just criticizing Barry's actions in the episode. He knew what he was risking and did it anyway.

    Well Geoff Johns did develop the show and also wrote Flashpoint. Maybe he just wants people to buy his comics.

    Haha. I was gonna say that until I read the whole comment. Maybe watch old JL and JLU episodes weekly?

    Reading the comics is fine. If you did, future Flash's actions to wave present Barry off made perfect sense. You can even headcanon that future Barry did save her once and got Flashpointed.
