WithThe Flash’sSeason 2premiere just over one month away, Australian networkFox 8has debuted a new international trailer for the hit series, which offers a brief glimpse of new footage. While we don’t see much in this 15-second teaser, we do get to seeBarry Allen’s (Grant Gustin) blue lightning powers for the first time. We see Barry speed through Central City, leaving a blue trail behind in his wake.
Last season,The Flashleft yellow trails behind as he sped through town, while Reverse Flash (Tom Cavanagh) left red trails. In the trailer that was shown during Comic-Con, fans saw a speedster that left blue trails behind, but it wasn’t known if this was Barry Allen or some new character coming to Central City, such asJay Garrick(Teddy Sears) or Zoom, who has yet to be cast. This trailer confirms that Barry is responsible for this blue lightning, which had already been teased just a few weeks ago.
Grant Gustinteased in a Comic-Con interview last month that Barry Allen will get new powers, that involve lightning. We can see in this brief new footage that he has tiny blue lightning sparks in his eyes, but we still don’t know exactly what these new powers entail. Could Barry now be able to actually shoot bolts of lightning at his enemies? We don’t know that for sure, but we’ll find out this October.
New cast members this season includeTeddy Searsas Jay Garrick and Shantel VanSanten as Patty Spivot, a new detective at the CCPD who partners up with Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and has a crush on Barry. Also coming aboard this season isMichael Ironsideas Lewis Snart, the father of Leonard Snart, a.k.a. Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Lisa Snart, a.k.a.
