That point hasn’t been revisited upon Rip’s return to Legends, or the time-splitting Season 2 finale, but according to Entertainment Weekly, the revelation that another, scarred future Barry is in fact Savitar will tie the two threads together: Yes, the message left by a future Barry cautioning Rip Hunter against trusting anyone in the future, including himself, does tie into the reveal that Savitar is future Barry Allen.
For two series steeped in time-travel, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow don’t generally affect one another very often.
Legends in particular made little use of a 2056 recording from Barry Allen, but now that Flash has dropped the big Savitar reveal, we may just revisit Barry’s dark future.
In the meantime, The Flash will start unraveling the Savitar mystery further with next week’s “Cause and Effect,” so watch the trailer below and stay tuned.
