This piece was originally published in June.
We are recirculating it now timed toThe Flashs streaming debuton HBO Max.Also, a warning: spoilers ahead!
Its not wrong to describeThe Flashas an origin story.
The identity of the killer is never determined.
But the comics do identify one major culprit.
But they also identify Noras assailant as Barrys greatest arch-nemesis: Eobard Thawne, a.k.a.
But when Eobard learns hes meant to become the Flashs enemy anddieby his hands!
he goes bananas, embarking on a petty and vengeful quest to ruin the Flashs life.
This includes going back in time to kill Barrys mother, and targeting his beloved wife Iris.
But that doesnt solve the question of who Noras killer is.
Will the murderers identity remain a mystery even three Batmans cant solve?
Maybe the Flash can run into the future just this once and find out.
