‘The Flash’ Show Producer Talks Season 3 New Villains!

It looks like Season 3 of ‘The Flash‘ is going to be loaded up with 2 major villains in Dr. Alchemy and Savitar. One would imagine that one villain is going to face off with Barry during the ‘Flashpoint‘ story arc, and the second will come in when that arc ends. Today show producer, Aaron Helbing sat down with TVLine and shared some tidbits on what we could expect from the big bad’s in the coming season. Check out what he had to say below and share your thoughts AFTER THE JUMP! The Flash returns with all new episodes on October 4th on the CW.

[Season 3] is more about psychological warfare,” executive producer Aaron Helbing previews. Besides, “everything about [Savitar] is different than Zoom or Reverse-Flash,” EP Todd Helbing adds. “I can’t go into too much detail, but he’s quite a bit different.”

[We’re] trying to have the powers that they both possess play off of each other,” Todd Helbing explains. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, I have to catch this guy and take him down.’ It’s like, ‘Crap, now there’s this other guy, Dr. Alchemy,’ who has these transmutation qualities [via] this Philosopher’s Stone. You start to learn what he does with this stuff and how the both of them are coexisting.”

For the Scarlet Speedster, the problem becomes, “‘Just when I think I’ve taken down this guy, I’ve got this [other] dude to worry about, and vice versa,’” the EP continues. “It’s like flanking.”
