Flash Season 3 Will Be Lighter In Tone

I know there are a few folks worried about the third season of the Flash. He's going to be going up against a third speedster villian as one of the big bads and the tone at the end of season two was so dark. With the duel threat of Savitar and Doctor Alchemy on tap along with Flashpoint… the fear is that the show will get even darker.

Executive producer Aaron Helbing told TVline that's not the case:

Zoom, in general, was dark. It even got darker than we probably anticipated. So we're making a conscious effort to go back more toward the tone of Season 1.

And how is this not another season of Barry Allen vs a speedster:

[Season 3] is more about psychological warfare. Everything about [Savitar] is different than Zoom or Reverse-Flash. I can't go into too much detail, but he's quite a bit different.

And executive producer Todd Helbing explained the advantage  of having two villains as the big bads this year:

[We're] trying to have the powers that they both possess play off of each other. It's not just, 'Oh, I have to catch this guy and take him down.' It's like, 'Crap, now there's this other guy, Dr. Alchemy,' who has these transmutation qualities [via] this Philosopher's Stone. You start to learn what he does with this stuff and how the both of them are coexisting.

The Flash season three takes off on October 4th on the CW.
