Is "The Flash" Doing "Flashpoint" In Season 3?
Saving Nora Allen in "The Flash" Season 2 finale might have a significant effect on what could happen in the third season. Some fans believe that everything that happened in "The Flash" will now effectively be altered and Season 3 will start with a brand new storyline that isn't affected by what happened in the show before. This is certainly good news for everyone who is looking forward to "The Flash" taking on the "Flashpoint" story arc from the comic books.
But who will Barry Allen have to go up against in "The Flash" Season 3? If the third season of "The Flash" is planning to take on the "Flashpoint" story arc from the comics, fans can expect Eobard Thawne aka Reverse-Flash to make an appearance.
