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.
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?
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
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.
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.
