The Flash Season 3: 8 Ways Flashpoint Will Change The Show

8. Both Of Barry's Parents Are Alive

The death of his mother was the event that helped Barry become the hero we know, giving him a strong desire to stop people from getting hurt and crimes going unsolved. His father's wrongful arrest also played into that, and his relationship gave the show some of its most heartfelt moments, right up until his death towards the end of Season 2.

While we've seen Henry Allen come in and out of his son's life, this time around we're going to see a Barry who has grown up with both of his parents, and still has them in the present day. It's going to be a nice change getting to see the Allens together for once, but the biggest impact will be on on Barry himself: with both his parents by his side, how can he become the person we know he does? Barry's life is very different, and he will be too as a result.
