Summary
- The Flash movie deviates from the comics by excluding Barry Allen's arch-rival, Eobard Thawne, as the killer of Barry's mother.
- While it may seem like a missed opportunity, leaving out Thawne was a wise choice to avoid retreading the same ground and give other villains a chance to shine.
- The film disproves the theory that the Reverse Flash killed Nora Allen, further solidifying the decision to exclude Thawne and explore new storylines.
