The Flash Season 9's Red Death Identity Reveal & Returning Actor ... (Screen Rant)

The Flash Season 9 just revealed the identity of its next big bad. Who is the Red Death, and what does their reveal mean for the future of the series?

The Red Death in The Flash also explains several of the returning heroes set to appear in the show's final episodes. Even with the Justice League at his side, however, Barry Allen is in for the fight of his life as The Flash comes to an end. The Red Death is a threat worthy of the Justice League itself, making it all the more reasonable for major heroes to appear to aid Barry in this fight. Moreover, Ryan Wilder's Red Death hints that the Arrowverse won't directly adapt the comic book supervillain but will instead make some changes to her origin and powers. ["I am vengeance," ](https://screenrant.com/the-batman-theory-claims-vengeance-line-teases-the-dark-knights-future/) [a line familiar to Batman's](https://screenrant.com/the-batman-theory-claims-vengeance-line-teases-the-dark-knights-future/) iconic mythology and deeply symbolic of his villainous counterpart's motivation. By changing the Red Death's identity, The Flash can adapt [The Flash](http://screenrant.com/tag/the-flash/) just revealed the identity of its main antagonist, the Red Death, marking the return of a very familiar face to the Arrowverse. [Arrowverse characters are returning to The Flash](https://screenrant.com/flash-season-9-returning-arrowverse-characters-actors/) for its ninth and final season, which also doubles as the final chapter in the CW's hit shared universe, which began with 2012's Arrow. If the comics are any indication, however, Barry won't be able to take down the Red Death alone. The Arrowverse often delves into the concept of the multiverse, using the scientific theory as a storytelling device that allows for any number of alternate-reality characters to appear. Succumbing to the weight of his failure as Batman, Bruce began working on a way to attain the Speedforce, believing himself to be more worthy of its power than Barry Allen. As the series approaches the end of its nine-year run, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Team Flash are about to face one of their deadliest enemies yet, a speedster powered by the Negative Speedforce and sporting a suit with a distinct bat symbol.

Featured image: Caption: (L-R) EZRA MILLER as Barry Allen / The Flash, EZRA MILLER as Barry Allen / The Flash and SASHA CALLE as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl in Warner Bros. What makes Barry’s problem even more pressing is that in his universe, there are no metahumans (no Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, etcetera), and his only hope lies in luring an older, very retired Batman (Michael Keaton, reprising his role from more than 30 years ago) to help him save the world. It’s particularly exciting for the theater owners when a studio unveils an entire film, as Paramount did last year with Top Gun: Maverick, which, in case you hadn’t heard, did quite well at the box office and with critics. DC Studios co-chief James Gunn went on record saying The Flash was [one of the best superhero movies he’d ever seen](https://www.motionpictures.org/2023/02/james-gunn-says-the-flash-is-one-of-the-best-superhero-movies-hes-ever-seen/), a big vote of confidence from a man who is re-designing the future of all Warner Bros. Barry’s powers are rather immense, and his solution is to travel back in time to change past events, but as we’ve learned in just about every time travel film, you can’t change the past without altering the future. The Flash was a project Gunn and Safran absorbed rather than spearheaded, so to hear Gunn’s enthusiastic support of the film has further suggested Warner Bros.

ISSCC 2023: 1.7Tbit flash IC has five bits per cell (Electronics Weekly)

Intel has made a move from four bits per cell to demonstrate a 1.7Tbit NAND flash IC, which it described at ISSCC 2023 this week. Fabricated over 192.

The IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference, held annually in San Francisco, is a world showcase for IC-based analogue, digital and RF circuity. For fewer errors, error-correcting bytes are augmented with a fast soft-bit read algorithm – average read time with the algorithm is 354μ. With such tight level spacing within each bit, a five-strobe fast read calibration algorithm is implemented by modulating the voltage applied to the back of the sensing capacitor and counting the number of bits that flip between strobes.

The Flash Reveals Red Death's Shocking Identity (CBR)

The Flash reveals the identity of the Red Death in its latest episode, which sees the villainous speedster uttering an iconic Batman line.

Menhaj Huda directed Part 1 of "The Mask of the Red Death" while frequent Arrowverse director Rachel Talalay helmed Part 2. The CW has released a synopsis for "The Mask of the Red Death, Part Two," which teases that the Red Death will continue to wreak havoc on Central City. After teasing the Batman-like speedster since the start of Season 9, The Flash revealed in "Rogues of War" that the person underneath the mask was Leslie's Ryan Wilder, the Batwoman of Arrowverse's Gotham City.

General Zod's The Flash Movie Return Is Even Better Than You ... (Screen Rant)

Michael Shannon is set to return as Man of Steel's General Zod in 2023's The Flash, helping to make the DC Universe's reset even more powerful.

Zod's return in The Flash means he will be both the first, and the final villain of the DCEU, creating the perfect full-circle moment before the franchise moves on. This perhaps suggests that, instead of following Superman to Earth as he did during Man of Steel, General Zod could have instead followed Supergirl, and perhaps has no knowledge of anyone named Kal-El (Superman's real name), if he even exists in The Flash's alternate reality. Batman](https://screenrant.com/what-the-flash-movie-means-for-robert-pattinson-batman/), from 1989's Batman and 1992's Batman Returns will be helping the Flash instead of Thomas Wayne's version of Batman in Flashpoint. The fact that General Zod was featured as the primary antagonist of Man of Steel makes him perfect to bring back for The Flash. However, with The Flash set to reset the DC Universe and kick-start James Gunn's new DCU in 2025, General Zod might be the perfect villain to revive. General Zod previously met his demise at the hands of Henry Cavill's Superman, but now it'll be the Flash and Michael Keaton's Batman attempting to thwart the villain.

The Flash: Why Dark Flash Is the Perfect Villain For the Upcoming ... (MovieWeb)

The crimson speedster blazed a path into the hearts and homes of readers, DC Universe fans, and comic-book aficionados in the winter of 1940.

If the film follows the comics in any manner, it's unlikely that the Dark Flash will remain an antagonist. And considering that there are other formidable threats in this film and few heroes to take them down initially, it's more likely that the Dark Flash will join forces with the Flash rather than remain a nemesis. This will be the first time the iconic speedster will have his own feature film. Furthermore, a good villain has the power to cripple the hero in a way that most cannot. When considering why the Dark Flash would make a good villain, the most straightforward answer is that he's a perfect antagonist and perhaps one of the toughest nemeses Barry Allen could face. And interestingly, at one point in the comic line, he replaced the actual Flash and joined the Justice League. In addition, this could be a way to set up future features for the Flash, which strongly indicates the rationale for choosing the Dark Flash character. Therefore, the Dark Flash may be introduced to further progress the storyline. And even more so, what makes the Dark Flash the perfect villain for this feature film? According to [The Direct](https://thedirect.com/article/ezra-miller-flash-movie-two-barry-allens), the "other" Barry Allen will serve as the movie's primary villain, acting as a Dark Flash antagonist to Ezra Miller's displaced Barry Allen. The addition of the Dark Flash will enhance the storyline. Barry Allen, known as the second iteration of the Flash, proved a successful fixture in The Silver Age of comics.
