Now, word on Season 4 has revealed Barry has been gone much longer than expected, and his crime-fighting squad still hasn’t figured out a way to rescue the Scarlet Speedster from the time prison.
With past villains set to make a return to Central City, one has to wonder just how up to the city-saving task Team Flash is without Barry, Caitlin Snow, or H.R. (Pours coffee on sidewalk in show of respect.)
When The Flash’s Barry Allen offered himself up to the Speed Force to prevent it from going nuclear, everyone was obviously sad (especially Iris), but there was an air of confidence that Team Flash would save their boy sooner rather than later.
