The second season of "The Flash" is advertised as something bigger and bolder than the first one. Proof of that is the introduction of two more speedster and more villains.
However, when "The Flash" season 2 premiere arrives, don't expect lead character Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) to be in full strength.
After the events from the season one finale, the Scarlet Speedster will take a step back when it comes to his strengths and abilities.
"[Barry] went through a lot, at the end of last season," executive producer Gabrielle Stanton told Comic Book Resources when asked how is Barry in "The Flash" season 2 premiere.
"He's definitely going to start this season with a step back and be like, 'What am I doing? Why am I doing this?' If last season was the journey of Barry discovering he's a hero, this season is definitely him trying to figure out what that means. What is it to be a hero? What does he need to be a hero? What is it going to do to his personal relationships? It's an evolution that's going to start in the beginning of the season, and go all season long."
Stanton went on on to explain the Barry Allen in "The Flash" season 2 premiere will look like an amateur version of himself who is prone to mistakes.
"You're going to see, early on, Barry coming into his own as The Flash, a little bit more. He has to make some terrible decisions, and he's going to struggle with those. He's going to think about, can I live with myself, having to make those decisions, and still do what I do? That's something he's going to be struggling with, for the first half of the season. Some of it is learning how to be okay with his past decisions, some of it is learning how to make better decisions, in the future, and some of it is about how he can let people help him make decisions."
But of course, all these struggle will only be in "The Flash" season 2 premiere or next few episodes.
Recent spoiler revealed that even though Prof. Harrison Wells is gone, Barry will meet a new mentor in Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears), the first the Flash.
"The Flash" season 2 premiere is on Oct. 6.
