![]() ![]() Instead of relying on words, Savitar gets down on all fours, and opens his armor. ![]() And THAT would be a brand new way to say that Barry Allen created his greatest enemy - himself. If you ask us, that sounds an awful lot like the kind of message Barry might send before beginning his mission to make a more terrible present throughout the timeline in hopes of changing the past to save the future. But pull out the facts: Barry altered the past, saw how the effects "compounded" four decades into the future, and warns that in the new timeline being formed nobody is to be trusted. Barry changed the timeline, and maybe that's why the Dominators arrived. The message was delivered in the midst of the Dominator invasion, and was therefore taken as relating directly to it. When you come back, don’t trust anything or anyone, not even me.” When you return, you will be in a new timeline I created, where everyone’s past and everyone’s future has been affected, including yours. As you know, whenever you alter the past, those changes affect the present and get compounded in the future. ![]() "A war is coming, Captain Hunter, and at some point you’re going to be called back to Central City to fight it, so you need to know that - while you and your team have been in the temporal zone - I made a choice that affected the timeline. And he delivered it all the way from the year 2056, directed to Rip Hunter, the last remaining Time Master, as seen in the "Invasion" crossover of 2016: But Barry Allen may have already offered a warning stating that is exactly what winds up happening. It's not the heroic future fans would hope for, even if that sacrifice and commitment to do unspeakable acts could be viewed as noble, in some sense. ![]() Track down speedsters, capture their Speed Force energy as Zoom once did, and begin his long trek back in time. Knowing the only way to fix the future is to travel back to the past, but lacking the speed to do so due to his fracturing the Speed Force beyond repair, Barry has only one option. It's not hard to imagine that decades into the future Barry realizes just how horribly he impacted the future by traveling back in time and creating Flashpoint - or who knows, maybe it's another upcoming change to the timeline that causes it (the cost of saving Iris, even). The show clearly isn't adapting that story ("Out of Time") beat for beat, but with a few tweaks, it does seem like a possible basis for the season's threat. Killing his younger self will release that energy and prevent all the damage he caused in his future, even if he appears to all as a murderous, crazed, desperate monster.įor the modern Barry, it's a nightmare come true: he sees himself, older, armored, and hellbent on killing anyone with the Speed Force connection needed to undo his mistakes - mistakes caused by altering the timeline, leading to a future far worse than the one that could have formed naturally. Finally arriving from the future, this murderous version of Barry confronts his younger self - noting that his costume is far less advanced than his own metallic, blue, glowing armor - and revealing that only the young Barry possesses enough energy to seal the Speed Force rift completely. He still leaves them to be killed, justifying it to himself by saying that none of these murders will matter if he can undo the entire timeline from taking place.
