![]() #Brutal legend concept art sea of black tears how to#.Welcome to The Hollywood Reporter ‘s weekly DC TV Watch, a rundown of all things DC Comics on TV. ![]() Every Friday, we round up the major twists, epic fights, new mysteries and anything else that goes down on The CW’s Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl and Fox’s Gotham and what it all means. Note: Supergirl and Gotham did not air new episodes this week.Ī bleak future: Just when Barry (Grant Gustin) thought he had defeated speed god Savitar by throwing the Philosopher’s Stone into the speed force, he accidentally ran five months into the future to see just how wrong he was. Not only was Savitar freed from the stone five months from now, he was also proving a point to Barry that he could never defeat him by killing Iris (Candice Patton) right in front of Barry. Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) pulled Barry back to the present before he could do anything to mess up the timeline in the future, but the damage was done and Barry has now seen his own bleak future - something that a speedster should never do, according to Garrick. With Iris’ imminent death hanging over Barry’s head - including the prophecy Savitar told him: “One shall betray you. One will suffer a fate far worse than death.” - things are not looking up for Team Flash in the second half of this season. Barry learned from his mistakes with Flashpoint and won’t mess with the past ever again. But what about messing with the future? At least now we know why Iris’ byline on Barry’s future newspaper disappeared, since she won’t be alive to write it anymore. “ WestAllen“: But who’s to say that The Flash won’t actually do the unthinkable and go through with killing Iris? As Garrick pointed out, what Barry saw was only one possibility of the future, so Iris’ fate is not set in stone. ![]() And let’s certainly hope not, because Iris is by far one of the best characters on The Flash. She’s smart in a normal, relatable way (unlike the STAR Labs geniuses), brave, compassionate, driven and most of all, she constantly inspires Barry to make the right call and be the best Flash he can be. If she does get killed by Savitar, not only would it be a massive blow to the show, it would forever change Barry and take away the cheerful aspects that make him such a fan-favorite superhero. “ WestAllen ” has finally gotten to a good, stable place this season - they’re even moving in together - which means in TV terms, it’s time for a shakeup, but that doesn’t mean that Iris should be killed. However, if she does die by Savitar’s hand, that takes care of two of the prophecies: She would fall, and Barry would suffer a fate far worse than death by losing the woman he loves. ![]()
