When we last saw Barry Allen, he had decided to save the world by trapping himself in the Speed Force. In his absence, Team Flash has been forced to make do but in the season four premiere they'll realise that six months without the Fastest Man Alive is six too many! However, while the episode's title may be "Flash Reborn," it sounds like the Barry who returns is a lot different to the one that left.
What that's going to entail is hard to say but based on comments from star Grant Gustin in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, it appears as if the trauma of being in there will hit Barry hard.
"The way I see it is, time is non-linear and everything is happening at once in the Speed Force. In someways he’s had an awakening and he’s had a rebirth. Our first episode is called ‘Reborn,’ and it is a rebirth for Barry, but he’s kind of scrambled, too, because he’s experienced so much so quick over the course of six months, even though for him it was an eternity. He’s not Barry when we see him for the first time."
That's definitely intriguing and it appears as if the Flash will need some time to readjust upon his return. We also don't know who will be taking his place in the Speed Force so this premiere leaves us with a lot of questions! They'll be addressed this fall but in the meantime, share your thoughts below.
