History TheFlash / SeasonFour

* BigBad: [=DeVoe=] will be the main villain, as he got to bring Barry back for some reason.

* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: This is something of a recurring theme for the season. Even by the standards of the show’s villains, Amunet is depicted as especially heinous for kidnapping and selling metahumans. [=DeVoe=] ends up taking this trope to his natural conclusion by [spoiler:pulling a GrandTheftMe on multiple people, subjugating their consciousnesses, for his own benefit. And then it turns out that he’s been drugging his wife into compliance to keep her working for him]].

** Supported by GrantGustin and WordOfGod's EW interview:

-->'''Grant''': “A huge weight has been lifted and he’s forgiven himself again of all the mistakes he made the last couple years and people that he’s hurt,” Grant agreed. “He’s ready to move forward with the team and move forward with Iris [Candice Patton] and be happy Barry again and save Central City.”“I’m having fun with it, just getting to laugh things off a little bit more again as the character,”“When we see a bad guy that rolls around, a villain of the week, it’s not such a daunting task. We can have a little bit of fun taking down these guys now.”

* ProductPlacement: This season is sponsored by Microsoft, so [[EveryoneOwnsAMac Everyone Owns A Surface]]. More than that, most episodes include bonus "Stretched Scenes" that nominally feature Ralph, but actually place a Surface front and center.

* LighterAndSofter: After the dark tone brought by Zoom and Savitar, the series are becoming funnier as of this season.

It's been six months since Barry Allen's victory over Savitar and his sacrifice to the Speed Force for the greater good. His team attempts to move on with their lives, including safeguarding Central City, yet secretly hoping for the scarlet speedster's return, which grows even stronger with the escalating threat of the metahumans and the other unknown dangers emerging from the shadows. Even if their wish is fulfilled by some miracle, will it be the same Flash who is lost to them. And will this reborn hero become great enough to finally claim his destiny as ''The Fastest Man Alive'' as he prepare's for the grand battle of 'The Fastest Man Alive vs. Fastest Mind Alive'???!!!!

%%* BigBad: [=DeVoe=].

*** ->''Grant'': ''“Initially, Barry is pretty scrambled when he comes out of the Speed Force,”. “He’s not himself, he’s talking nonsense. The way I see it, when he was in the Speed Force, he experienced his whole life laid out in front of him from start to finish. So in some sense, he comes out very wise, kind of knowing everything, but he has no understanding of what he’s seen, so he comes out very jumbled and talking what he thinks makes complete sense, but just nonsense to the rest of the crew.”''
*** ->''EP Andrew Kreisberg'':''“The most important thing about Barry this year is that the experience of being in the Speed Force was a bit of a baptism for him. The premiere episode is called ‘The Flash Reborn’ and Barry, in a way, has been born again. His experience in there has really washed away a lot of his sins and cleansed him of a lot of his doubts, his fears, and his guilts, and it really is leaving him free and clear to just have an open road and a fresh start. He really loves being The Flash again.”''
