The Flash will have his hands full this Season 3, above and beyond whatever Flashpoint brings.

TVLine has learned that Vampire Diaries alum Todd Lasance has been cast in the recurring role of The Rival, who in DC Comics lore is a self-made, black-suited speedster. The Aussie actor — whose previous TV credits also include Spartacus: War of the Damned and (of course) Home and Away — will first appear in the Season 3 premiere, airing Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8/7c.

In addition to The Rival, Grey Damon’s Mirror Master and the previously teased/not-yet-cast Dr. Alchemy, The Flash will run up against Savitar, it was announced earlier this month at the TCA press tour. And a brand-new promo, embedded below, appears to offer a first glimpse of Savitar, a speedster with powers that transcend Barry’s and as such elicit a cult following.

“Savitar in Hindu means ‘the god of speed,’ and he has this sort of cult-like essence, where he’s sort of like the speed god,” co-showrunner Todd Helbing recently told TVLine. “But everything about him is different than Zoom or Reverse-Flash. I can’t go into too much detail, but he’s quite a bit different.”

:francis: Damn now the Rival?? Might be going too overboard with the speedsters. His actor was a a$$hole on TVD so it will be interesting to see him on the Flash, especially if he keeps his accent :ehh:

Yeah, I'm a little worried that they may be going overboard with the evil speedsters.

Savitar, the Rival, Black Flash/Zoom returning, Reverse Flash still around....


But I can understand why they like to use speedsters as villains. It's hard to justify Barry having trouble beating a non-speedster villain without making him look like an idiot. It's the same in the comics, Flash has trouble with people he should beat easily just because he's so overpowered.

:ohhh: So Brehs, The Flash's Rouge Gallery in the comics is on par with Batman's & Spider-Man's rouge galleries?

@Bigbigguy @Jello Biafra @Norrin Radd @Dillah810
The Flash's Rogues are below Batman and Spiderman's list of enemies but I would put them in the Top 5 of Best Superhero bad guys.
Their coolness factor comes from the relationships they have with the Flash and with one another and not as much from them as individual villains.
