The Flash Season 2 Finale: 10 Big Questions We're Asking After 'The Race Of His Life'

1. How Will This Affect The Other Shows?

Doing Flashpoint, or at least significantly altering the timeline, would be difficult enough if The Flash existed just on its own. However, it exists in a DC-multiverse that includes Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl.

The latter exists in a different universe, so maybe that one is easier to overlook, but it's very much established that the other three are all in the same dimension, at relatively the same time (with the exception of the time travelling in Legends, anyway). Indeed, not only are they in the same world, they're directly connected. Barry Allen first appeared on Arrow; a number of Legends debuted on The Flash.

Will this timeline altering stretch to the other shows? That's a monumental ask, especially as not everyone watches all shows, but at the same time it'd be difficult for it to not have some impact.
