Comic-Con 2016: 26 Things We Hope To See
By Steve Lam
#19 – DCTV: Flashpoint Trailer and Kid Flash in Action
It’s official! “Flashpoint” will be the main inspiration for The CW’s The Flash Season 3. At the end of Season 2, a devastated Barry—going against everything he knew about the consequences of messing with the past—went back in time and saved his mother from the murderous Eobard Thawne. At that moment, all the fans said, “uh-oh.” However, shortly after, the fans must’ve been chanting “Flashpoint, Flashpoint, Flashpoint!”
Just recently, we also got our first look at Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West in his Kid Flash suit. Being one of the most comic-accurate costumes to-date, it wasn’t a surprise that fans praised the show’s adherence to source material.
Let’s hope that Comic-Con 2016 will give us a mega-trailer that maps out Barry’s struggles for Season 3 and our first ever action-packed look at Kid Flash. Perhaps the trailer may even answer questions as to how this version of Wally West received his powers. Was it from Harrison Well’s first failed attempt at recreating the particle accelerator accident? Or was it from the consequences of Barry’s time travel?
