Everyone is already expecting "The Flash" Season 3 to take on the popular "Flashpoint" comic book story arc. However, that also means that there will be several changes to the CW show's current timeline.
But Barry Allen's actions in "The Flash" Season 2 finale will not only affect Central City. It looks like Grant Gustin's character will also create a major "Flashpoint" change in "Arrow" Season 5!
Barry Allen Goes Back In Time To Save Nora Allen In "The Flash" Season 2 Finale, Comic Book Readers Scream "Flashpoint!" In Unison
In "The Flash" Season 2 finale, Barry Allen decides that it is time to save his mother. He effectively goes back to the night of her murder, kills Reverse-Flash and comforts the terrified Nora Allen.
Comic book fans immediately went nuts about "The Flash" Season 2 finale scene, predicting that this means the CW show will take on the "Flashpoint" story arc. But how will "The Flash" Season 3 affect "Arrow" Season 5?
Will "Flashpoint" Storyline Kill Off Oliver Queen In "The Flash" Season 3?
Remember in "The Flash" Season 2 when Tom Cavanagh's Harrison Wells was shown in Earth-2 watching TV? The news report was about how Robert Queen was actually the Green Arrow while Oliver died at sea.
This sounds a lot like what happened to Thomas and Bruce Wayne in the "Flashpoint" storyline, where Bruce died in an alley and his father became Batman. But will this detail be revisited in "The Flash" Season 3?
Hopefully, this will not happen to Oliver Queen in "Arrow" Season 5. However, there is a huge possibility that there will be more than just one Green Arrow that will make an appearance in "The Flash" Season 3. Why? Because that's what happens in "Flashpoint".
Will Barry Allen be able to deal with the change in the timeline in "The Flash" Season 3? Is it possible that Oliver Queen will lead a group of Green Arrows in "Arrow" Season 5?
"The Flash" Season 3 will air on The CW on October 4 while "Arrow' Season 5 will debut on October 5.
