‘The Flash’ season 3 spoilers: Official ‘Flashpoint’ details reveal Barry’s dilemma

After a long time waiting and a relentless amount of speculation, we feel like The CW has now officially done what so many fans of “The Flash” have been waiting to see: Some very good information regarding “Flashpoint,” the upcoming October 4 premiere. This is where we will see the direct ramifications of some of Barry’s decisions, and also learn precisely how he plans to handle them.

This synopsis is a rather meaty one, given that it spells out a little bit about how important the Reverse Flash is to the story, and also just how much danger Barry could put his own world in if he does not try to change things, at least to a certain extent, back to the way that they once were:

“Barry (Grant Gustin) is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he’s asked Iris West (Candice Patton) on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.”

One other thing that excites us is the oh-so-subtle confirmation that Flashpoint Wally West will don the Kid Flash name. We assumed that he would, but at the same time it was never quite confirmed.
