"The Flash": Interview With Writer Todd Helbing1 of 10
When it comes to “The Flash,” the only time it seems like things have slowed to a standstill is in the months between seasons.

The "Flashpoint" timeline – inspired by the DC Comics event series that ultimately rebooted its entire line of comic books – may sound great in theory, but as writer and co-executive producer Todd Helbing revealed in a chat with IMDb, Barry and Team Flash quickly realize that hitting the "undo" button might not have been the wisest thing the Scarlet Speedster ever did.
