1) Flash To Master His Powers
Part of the first seasons appeal was the journey we took alongside Barry as he began to develop his powers and learnt what it means to be a hero. The writers made the progressive mastery of his powers feel natural, even if it was frustrating at times for diehard fans to see the Flash almost defeated by adversaries he should have been able to take out in a heartbeat.
Now that The Flash has reached its sophomore year, the Scarlet Speedster needs to up his game and utilize his powers more effectively in epic set pieces. While there are obviously budgetary considerations to consider, the season one finale took this idea in the right direction, ending as Barry sped up the side of a building to stop a black hole from destroying Central City.
Gustin has recently confirmed that The Flash will develop lightning based powers in season two, presumably drawing on the speed force which grants Barry his abilities. What this entails exactly is hard to say at this stage and I can’t think of a comic book equivalent off-hand, but it’s exciting to think that the show will continue to put its own spin on the Flash, just as long as things don’t get too out of hand with crazy stuff like talking psychic gorillas… Argh, what am I saying. Grodd was awesome. More Grodd, I say!
