The Flash - Season 2 - Andrew Kreisberg Interview

Jul 12, 2015

What is like dealing with so many timelines and alternate realities? How will you continue to work with those tropes in season two?
When you do anything with time travel, everybody has their theory on how it works. I think what was important for us, more than making logical sense, was it making emotional sense. And as long as you understood what was happening to the characters emotionally, and as long as you understood what the stakes were, I think you don’t have to stop-gap the logic of it too much. We feel like we have our rules. There’s certainly cause and effect. Time is not immutable. Time can be changed. Our entire series takes place in an alternate timeline, from the one that should have existed. Those are the stars we guide ourselves by.

What’s going to really separate season two from season one? Now that the multiverse is here, will the structure change at all?
I think the kinds of villains we have are very different this year. Last year was about getting the band together in a way, and Barry taking his initial steps into being the Flash. And now this year, it’s like great—we’re doing it now—but what does that mean? The thing we’re really tackling this year is how everyone in Central City knows about the Flash now. He’s becoming public figure, and the notion that denizens of Central City live in a universe where people have superpowers, and evil peel th superpowers, is not outlandish anymore. But by the same token, they know that there’s a savior out there who has powers to fight them back. So we’ll see Barry discover and deal with the fact that he’s famous now, and not just the mysterious Red Streak.

Will there be more crossovers with Arrow?
We do have more crossovers planned. Both episode eight for Flash and Arrow in Decemeber will be a two-part crossover, like we did last year. That will be the big crossover event, but then, like last year, we’ll have the mini crossovers where just one character will show up. These shows are linked, and if there’s an attack in Central City, we’ll hear about it in Starling City. When we first started, we were afraid that we’d implode by expanding too much. Instead, they seem to lift each other up.

  1. I'm not a fan of the big crossover events being ep 8 of each season. Think it is too close to the midseason finales of both shows. Eps 6 or 7 would be way better.
    Loking forward to see what they have in store for the Flash in S02 and how Zoom will fall into place.

  2. I wish they would quit the crossovers aleady, they take away more from the show than it benefits.

  6. Tom Cavanagh is coming back the actor, we don't know who he'll be playing. Especially with Earth 2 into the game.

  7. Ironically for Arrow the crossover episodes were some of the best in season 3 , most of the regular episodes were messy for me Thea arc was just ahh.

  8. I disagree it provides a nice little fun bit before shit gets real in the midseason finale.

  9. Don't know how they'll approach it, cause he isn't really Eobard I mean the body isn't. It's Wells so I'm quite looking forward to see how they intend to twist things around.

  10. It was okay last year cause the finales were selfstarters, storywise. Malcolm coming clean and The man in the yellow suit appearing were quite convenient. And gave the finales some new dynamic. It panned out nicely last year lets see how they'll do it now.

  11. No it's Eobard. And the body is. He just has his face. Eobard however he returns will probably be played by Cavanagh, and I very much doubt Wells is coming considering how it wouldn't make sense since he's kinda dead. But unlike Thawne doesn't have a Speed Force connection (well Negative) and isn't important to the Flash mythos. That and Cavanagh is primarily here to play Professor Zoom. The entire reason he even signed on, so I doubt they'd just keep him as Wells.

  12. I'm actually looking forward to this year's crossover because I am pretty sure my girl Black Canary will be in this one.🗽

  14. this season of arrow was trainwreck, worst season by miles. But their crossovers were better than the flash. The flash seemed to just do it as a gimmick and most of the time never made sense in arrows timeline.
