Young Barry Overuses Time Travel
Things take a sudden turn for the worse in The Flash’s third act when both Batman and Supergirl die battling General Zod and his Kryptonian forces. The younger Barry Allen variant immediately uses his time travel powers to undo this, only for Batman and Supergirl to die again, albeit differently. It soon becomes clear to both the main Barry Allen and the viewers that Batman and Supergirl’s deaths, as well as Zod’s victory, are inevitable events in this timeline. The younger Barry Allen refuses to accept this, and his repeated attempts to redo the battle and defeat General Zod show his descent into violent desperation.
