In a horrifying twist, DC just revealed the death of Barry Allen in the new lore of Absolute Flash. Since the first issue of this new series, Barry's involvement in Wally West's origin has been teased as a tragedy. Now fans know exactly what happened, and it's beyond dark.

Grant Gustin comments on who should play The Flash in the new DC Universe. Gustin played the character over The Flash's nine seasons, also appearing in multiple Arrowverse crossovers and other shows in the shared DC TV universe. The actor's time as Barry Allen came to an end in 2023, a few months before the DCEU's The Flash movie, which starred Ezra Miller, came out. The Flash movie became a box office bomb, leading to James Gunn claiming DC is "taking a beat" on development of the character. That leaves the door open for Barry Allen to be recast.
