The Flash season 9 spoilers: Is Cobalt Blue the only Big Bad?

As we get ourselves prepared for The Flash season 9 airing in the new year, there is suddenly a lot to consider! That includes, of course, who the primary villains will be.

One of these foes, at least for the time being, feels reasonably obvious: It’s going to be Cobalt Blue. Their presence was teased at the end of the season 8 finale and this is someone who has been wanted by fans for years on end. Showrunner Eric Wallace has already confirmed that the Reverse-Flash is now officially done, so there are no plans to bring him back in the immediate future.

Speaking in a new report from Deadline, Wallace did confirm that there are a couple of villains surfacing when the show comes back on the air:

…Yes, I do know what the end of Season 9 is already. We have multiple big bads next year. We’re going to continue our graphic novel format. I don’t know how many episodes I’ve got, quite frankly, so if I get enough episodes, we’ll have three graphic novels just like this past year. If I get less, then I’ll act accordingly. But there’ll be at least two graphic novels with at least two separate big bads, one of whom is a blast from the past.

Who could the other Big Bad be? If we had it our way, we would want for it to be Bloodwork. This was a fantastic villain the last time he got a major arc, and there was such a cool horror-movie element to him. It’s also well-worth having at least one villain who isn’t just a speedster for at least a little while, if for no other reason than it helps to shake up the format a little bit.

The Flash season 9 should be premiering in 2023, and we hope to have further updates leading up to it. Let’s just hope we can all handle this excruciating wait…
