'The Flash' News, Update: International Season 2 Trailer's Blue Flash Mystery Explained
Fans of The CW's hit superhero drama TV series "The Flash" may have already been informed on the huge changes that are coming over for Season 2. There's the revamped suit, a slew of new enemies, a handful of speedster entities, as well as new love interests. However a recently-released international teaser trailer raised some intrigue.
The video, which made its way online over the weekend, featured the hypersonic Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) making his usual runs through the streets. Everything is quite familiar except for the fact that the trail of electrical discharge he often made along the way is now colored blue, unlike his typical yellow streaks.
The details divulged over at CinemaBlend.com indicated that the promo clip aired from the Australian network Fox8, where the series is broadcast as "DC's The Flash."

The site further explained that since Professor Zoom, the character's nemesis, is arriving in Central City for Season 2, the blue-streak Flash could "possibly" be referencing to the "Blue Flash character from the New 52 universe" in the comics.
The said speedster was actually "a Barry Allen from 20 years in the future" who got frustrated with his life in his own timeline that he decides to travel to the past which consequently resulted to huge disturbances in the time continuum, the site adds.
The events that unfold, at least in the source material, saw the Blue Flash confronting his younger self in what the site called the "Barry vs. Barry" encounter.
Cinema Blend speculated even further by saying that the Blue Flash entity could be pointing out to Pollux, a clone of Barry Allen from the 1990 version of "The Flash," played by lead actor John Wesley Shipp who, meanwhile, stars as Barry's biological father in the current TV series.
"The Flash" Season 2 is slated to kick off Tuesday, October 6 on The CW. Stay tuned for more updates.
