But with only three episodes remaining, Team Flash better figure out how to stop the future Barry - and fast! One solution that is likely off the table? Barry will not kill himself à la Eddie Thawne in season one. It appears that the solution will be getting rid of Barry's memories. How can you stop someone that is not only from the future, but has lived every decision you make? Savitar literally knows Barry's every move he's already made them. Within DC continuity, an immortal race of warrior women (the Zamarons) were depicted as having the ancient tradition of choosing physically identical mortals from across the cosmos to serve as the host body for their. Going forward, this is going to make Team Flash's job quite difficult. Star Sapphire is the name of several fictional characters in DC Comics many of them are villainous, and all connected in origin. Savitar speaking through Julian and saying that he is "the future Flash," now can be taken literally.Įverything else begins fall into place - like Wally West's catatonic state - and it is all about love. Love can be a powerful motivator, and Barry realizes that without his - Iris West - he will become his worst enemy. He remembers that Savitar said he created himself, with his thoughts quickly turning to the villain killing Iris (and thus creating his own despair). Like fans have been doing for months, Barry figures out the truth by replaying events in his memory, looking for hidden clues. And certainly more than whatever convoluted explanation would be used to justify a surprise. While the writers arguably (or definitely) forced fans to wait a tad too long to find out for certain that Barry is Savitar - even pushing the reveal until the final moments of episode 20 - the result makes quite a bit of sense. Rather than take a name out of left field like Ronnie Raymond or maybe Jay Garrick, The Flash has once again been beaten to the punch by its rabid fan base. This is what makes the reveal so shocking - it was so completely expected. Past teases from the cast, particularly Grant Gustin, made it seem like The Flash would go in an unexpected direction. In fact, the future Barry Allen was likely the most common name - along with Wally West ( my guess). Barry Allen has for some time been one of the more common names floated around the internet in discussions over Savitar's identity. The big reveal is both shocking and completely expected. With time running out for Barry, and The Flash's third season, Barry and the audience now know that Barry Allen and Savitar are one and the same. The tag to last week's episode of The Flash featured Savitar revealing himself to Caitlin Snow, but - much like I am doing in this recap - frustratingly extended the torture for fans. Fans may have even started to wonder if they would ever figure it out. Most recently, the Flash traveled to 2024 to solve the mystery of Savitar's identity, only to discover that his future self never figured it out. Barry even came close on several occasions to learning his adversary's identity, but always to no avail. It has been a long time coming, but The Flash finally answered the question fans have been scratching their heads over for months: Who the heck is Savitar? Prior to the big reveal, there had been hints on the CW series.
