    That's actually a pretty interesting theory, but changing the timelines really affects Arrow too. So I think it'd be pretty shitty to retcon everything.

    So we now know what Rory was doing when Amy was inside that stone thingy. He became Rip Hunter.

    And also, So many jocks standing around in the room and Caitlin asks, "What's a singularity?" For fuck's sake.

    Yeah I thought that. It would have been much better coming from Joe but everyone with a Physics GCSE knows what a singularity is let alone an incredible scientist

    It's kind of a shame we know so much about the new series coming out. Would have been an epic reveal if we didn't already know from leaks and trailers that Rip hunter was a thing in the CWverse. I don't get the first half of your sentence though

    Didn't reverse-flash say he was born 130 odd years from the present day? Does The Flash not age or something?
     
  10. Roaddogg AJ Izett

    Umm considering the whole episode was about time travel.........
     
  11. Cribbage RG Cribb

    We don't really know yet. He can travel in time so it could be explained that way, but decelerated aging is definitely a possibility. Fan of the comics (Athlai?) could probably clarify.

    I don't really do much reading up on DC characters but I do remember the Flash has accelerated healing, don't think I've seen anything on actual ageing though. Reverse flash can change his age iirc, but might be making that one up
     
  13. Mariner CL Warrington

    So many fucking different flashes in the comics doesn't help either.

    Yeah as I mentioned before, Zoom (this incarnation of Reverse Flash) comes from the future to torment present day Flash (and clearly 2024 Flash still battles him).

    Timeline still goes:

    Approx. 1980-1990ish
    Barry Allen is born

    Approx. 1990-2000ish
    <- Reverse Flash and 2024 Flash fight, Barry's mother dies. 2024 Flash leaves this timeline to parts unknown, Reverse Flash is stuck in this time
    <<- 2015 Flash witnesses this

    2014-2015
    Reverse Flash creates the Flash and attempts to use his power to return to his original timeline, Flash goes back in time to witness his mother's death

    Approx. 2020-2024
    Reverse Flash comes from the future and begins battling the Flash, as neither can defeat the other this rivalry grows. Reverse Flash discovers Flash's secret identity and leaves for 1990-2000ish, Flash follows. Resulting in death of Nora Allen and Reverse Flash being stuck in the 90s-2015 timeline.

    Approx. 2100s
    Reverse Flash is born. Learns about the Flash and is able to replicate his powers, uses the ability to travel in time to travel to 2020-2024 timeline to fight the Flash for unknown reasons.
     
  15. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Interesting, gotta say that this show was surprisingly good.
     
  16. Athlai JJD Heads

    There is a lot we don't know about the timeline, does the Flash from 2015-2024 ever travel into the future? Why does the Reverse Flash hate the Flash?

    There are comic book reasons for these but nothing really definitive. The big Reverse Flash/Flash storyline is always this one, the night when Nora died.

    What if we get a season of the Flash re-creating Reverse Flash to restore the timeline? It's crazy.
     
  17. Gazza GJ Weaver

    Yeah, would like to know why Flash is missing in 2024
