He says "this is not a drill" but honestly, ########## could totally be a brandname for a drill.
Spoilers The Flash - Season 3
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
But the word "flashpoint" means the critical point at which a conflagration or upheaval begins, like a point of ignition. And in the story, the meaning of the title was that Barry's prevention of his mother's death was the event that caused the entire subsequent history of the DC Universe to change, the flashpoint for the resulting chaos. So naturally it would be used for the beginning of the arc, not the end.
Someone tell him "SPOILERS!"
Good point.
Ted Kord!!!!!
It's the long awaited return of Ralph Dibney to the DC universe.
Ralph is just an excuse.
We use him.
It's Sue we really like.

Give it up, Guy. You'll never win a girl away from any man who can contort and elongate his body selectively. Even with a Green Lantern ring.
I see the Flashpoint arc lasting at most four episodes. I think they will want it sewed up before the mega crossover.
The season long big bad may be someone who slips through the cracks from that alternate timeline to the main one. Just so the Flashpoint arc has relevance.

Flashpoint could be a jumping off point for something else, but what?
The new 52!
Seriously though, I agree that Flashpoint can't last too long because it would affect the other shows. Arrow is not going to spend a season in the Flashpoint universe for example.
It's not even going to spend one second in the Flashpoint universe. For all that these shows like to cross over and nod at each other from time to time, they're still separate shows with their own separate writing staffs, audiences, and story arcs -- and they're going to be released separately on home video. So none of these shows is going to put its own storylines on hold to replace them with an alternate universe that's part of the storyline of a different show.
Which is why I doubt the "Flashpoint" timeline will last longer than the opening 2-parter. As I've said, this is a pretty stock time-travel story that's usually quite simple: Hero changes the past, hero finds the present sucks, hero decides to go back and undo the change. Most shows that tell that story get it done in an hour or two, and really, that's about all it deserves. The only reason Flashpoint lasted longer is because it explored the changes to the DCU in detail and spread out over a bunch of different comics; but the Arrowverse doesn't have that many other characters whose alternate selves could be explored. And even the Flashpoint Paradox movie managed to get through the whole thing in 70-odd minutes. So I don't see there being any reason to drag out the story just because the comics did so. Comics are a different medium with their own priorities, such as being enslaved to the big-event model that demands concocting big, sprawling stories that are much longer than they need to be.
52 new shows based on DC comics? I'm sold!
But don't worry about having to follow four dozen programs because a lot of them will be cancelled after six episodes.
Tom Felton most famously known for his role as Draco Malfoy is joining the Flash as a series regular.

That Flash costume isn't perfect but I like it a little better, especially the texture.
I just stumbled across the first The Flash tie-in novel on Amazon.
The Haunting of Barry Allen by Clay Griffith and Susan Griffith. It says it'll crossover with a new Arrow novel. The only one I can find is Vengeance, which was released back in Feburary, so I'm not sure if it's that one or another one coming out later.
EDIT: I though the description was just for the series, but there is a tiny bit at the end about the book.

So it sounds like this will be crossing over with another Arrow novel, not Vengeance.

Maybe he'll play Jeffrey or Jason Burr, and end up forming Kobra.
If he forms Kobra, I hope when Barry calls for help, he'll yell "yo, Joe!"
