10 Best TV Trailers From Comic-Con 2016

5. The Flash Season 3

How will The Flash be handling Flashpoint, the game-changing comic event it setup at the end of Season 2? It's a fair question, given a lot of the major players from the arc - the members of the Justice League, basically - aren't available to the TV show.

The first trailer for Season 3 gives us our first look at how things are going to be different after Barry's decision to save his mother, and much like the trip to Earth-2 this looks like being a fun alt-take on the world we know.

Barry has both of his parents, and thinks he's happy. Him and Iris aren't close, but as they will in any timeline, they find each other. Joe West isn't particularly nice to Barry. Cisco is a a billionaire. There's a first look at Kid Flash in action. Meanwhile, the only people who seem to know anything's wrong are Barry and the returning Eobard Thawne. And there are some much darker moments too, suggesting Barry is really going to be tested this year, and setting up two big bads: a mystery speedster (obvs) and Doctor Alchemy, a villain long-tipped/desired for an appearance. It all makes for a great tease for what's to come.
