Although he doesn't enjoy being a murderer, Barry justifies it to himself by saying that these murders won't matter if he undoes the timeline.Savitar was one of the many time remnants of the original Barry Allen/The Flash from a possible future in the year 2020 or 2021 in the Post-Flashpoint timeline, created to help him fight his enemy Savitar in vengeance for killing their fiancee Iris West. But in order to do that, Barry must go back in time and kill his enemies. And so Barry decides to travel back in time and seal the rift in the speed force when it began and hopefully prevent Wally from dying in the process. As a result of this, Barry was unable to prevent the death of Wally West.
#SAVITAR NEW 52 SERIES#
Based on how much chaos Barry's few trips on the series have caused, it should come as no surprise that the comics show Barry 20 years in the future when he realizes that time is disappearing because his travels have torn apart the Speed Force. In The Flash comics, Barry travels back and forth through time much more than he does on the show. But The Flash does love to draw inspiration from the DC comics and put its own spin on it - something they might be doing by combining the Savitar storyline with a complicated Barry vs. And while there's always a chance Savitar's identity will follow that storyline and he'll be revealed as someone we've never met before, that's highly unlikely (and would be a major disappointment, tbh). In the comics, Savitar is a Cold War pilot who becomes obsessed with speed and gains a cult following. What would be a better cherry on top of that theme than to reveal that the sweet-hearted Barry also contains his own dark side? A significant portion of this season has been exploring the duality of the lead characters: Wally ( Keiynan Lonsdale) discovering he was a speedster in Flashpoint and chasing that identity, Caitlin ( Danielle Panabaker) doing everything she can to repress her evil alter ego Killer Frost, Julian learning that he was unwittingly the villain Alchemy, etc. Get your first look at the CW's latest superhero, Black Lightningĭuality is the theme of the season. Savitar has since used that same phrase a few more times, which is either the writers going really heavy on the foreshadowing or a total red herring. However, if you switch up the punctuation a bit, you could also read his answers as "I'm the Future Flash," thus revealing he is either someone who took up the Flash mantle in the future or is literally a future version of Barry Allen. When Savitar used Julian ( Tom Felton) as a megaphone to share his prophecy with Team Flash, Barry asked Savitar who he was, to which the villainous speedster replied, "I'm the future, Flash." At least, that's how Team Flash interpreted those words. "I'm the future, Flash." If this theory is correct, The Flash might have confirmed Savitar's identity months ago. Everything feels extremely personal to him and he appears to know each member of Team Flash intimately - which he would if he had once been one of them.
In all these instances, Savitar doesn't speak about the issues from a distance. He previously discussed H.R.'s ( Tom Cavanagh) struggle to find his place in the group and even mentioned Cisco's ( Carlos Valdes) interaction with Reverb - a moment only Barry was present for. This isn't the only moment Savitar has treated members of Team Flash as though he knows them well.
