Flash Theory Makes Green Lantern's Strongest Enemy The Next Crossover Villain
Warning: Spoilers for The Flash season 8, episode 11
A new theory spinning out of The Flash’s Deathstorm story makes the Green Lantern’s most powerful enemy the next Arrowverse crossover villain. The series created a massive Green Lantern connection by introducing a character with ties to DC’s Blackest Night event. Blackest Night was a comic book crossover that shined the spotlight on Green Lantern’s corner of the DC Universe.
Just a few episodes after beating Despero and stopping the Reverse-Flash from causing Armageddon, The Flash kicked off a new multi-episode arc with a character called the Black Flame filling the role of the central antagonist. The ending of The Flash season 8, episode 11, titled “Resurrection” confirmed the identity of the mystery villain. The character stood revealed as Deathstorm, a twisted version of Robbie Amell’s Firestorm, who gave his life to save Central City from the singularity in The Flash season 2 premiere. By tricking Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) into giving him a corporeal form, Deathstorm has emerged as the next big threat to Central City and Team Flash.

If so, there’s a chance that Team Flash’s latest adversary is part of the groundwork for the next villain who threatens the Flash, Superman, and all the rest. Here’s how Deathstorm can lead to Green Lantern’s strongest foe fighting the heroes of the Arrowverse.
