We already had advance knowledge that Reverse-Flash would be appearing in The CWs The Flash in episode nine, “The Man in the Yellow Suit.” Now, thanks to an Entertainment Weekly interview with the cast and crew we have new information on Barry Allens arch nemesis. “We’re building towards a confrontation between Barry and the Reverse Flash, executive producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed. “I like to think that we’ve done a good job on both The Flash and Arrow] of meeting fans’ expectations and subverting them, Kreisberg said. The show has to appeal to everybody. It can’t just appeal to comic fans and it can’t ignore them either. We’re always treading this fine line of trying to bring something new, honoring what’s always been done and turning it into this brand new thing. Episode 9 is really cool because it’s everybody coming together to help,” Kreisberg explained. “Cisco [Carlos Valdes] and Wells [Tom Cavanagh] devise a trap to bait the Reverse Flash and they enlist the help of Tina McGee, played by Amanda Pays from the original Flash show. It becomes an interesting new combination of characters. “It’s fun when you finally see our team confronting the Reverse Flash and seeing everybody’s reactions, because he is the devil, in a way, to the show,” Kreisberg continued. “When you finally see everybody confront him, it’s really scary. It’s certainly the scariest thing we’ve done on the show. Our tone note to Tom, Jesse and Grant was to pretend you were in the room with the alien from Alien. You should all be that scared.” Valdes added, “Reverse Flash, in terms of his powers, has such a potency about him. The magnitude of these powers is so hazardous and so dangerous that it’s a real threat for these characters.” The Flash star Grant Gustin spoke specifically about Reverse-Flash, and whether or not we will discover his identity. “Barry will actually get to come face to face with him, not just running with him, but standing face to face with him, looking at him. He’s vibrating, so he doesn’t know who he is. We don’t see his face. No characters see his face and the audience doesn’t necessarily see his face either, but Barry gets to hear him say that he killed his mom.” “I didn’t even remotely see coming what Andrew Kreisberg told me is going to be one of the turning points with that storyline,” Gustin added. “I’ve heard so many theories surrounding Reverse Flash that are all interesting. I was like, ‘Oh, I know what’s going on,’ but literally no one knows what’s going on. Anyone who thinks they know what’s going on is wrong. I’m in the in and I thought I knew, but Andrew told me and I was like, ‘Holy crap.”
