The Flash Season 4: Everything We Want To See!

at .

The fastest man alive returns tonight to The CW in The Flash Season 4! After the dark ending of The Flash Season 3, the new season promises to bring back the light and humor we all fell in love with.

The Flash has already revealed several new things for its fourth year. But there is still a lot that we want to see throughout The Flash Season 4.

With The Flash Season 4 Episode 1 set to air tonight, we have put together a wishlist for what we want to see. Will any of it happen? 

They better! Go through the slides below and learn what we wish to see in The Flash Season 4!

Remember you can watch The Flash online right here via TV Fanatic!

1. More Journalism For The Ace Reporter

Iris West is already getting a bigger role in The Flash Season 4 as the new team leader. But you know what else she is really dope at? Being a journalist which we barely get to see anymore!

If Smallville could pull it off for at least four seasons of Daily Planet stuff then why can't The Flash do it? Heck, even Flash comics have been able to tie-in Iris's job as a reporter with the main plots.

One of the overall things I want this year is for all the kick-ass women to get to shine. Let them in the spotlight just as much as the boys!

2. Happiness For Cailtin Snow

Let's just admit it: Caitlin Snow has never had an easy time on The Flash. She has lost Ronnie Raymond twice in her life and was abused emotionally by Zoom.

Oh and then there's the whole becoming an ice queen thing. The Flash Season 4 has promised fans that Caitlin and Killer Frost fans will both be very happy this season.

But the one thing that tends to carry the character down is whenever she gets a new love interest. This year I want Caitlin to find happiness without a man in her life.

They can give her a new love interest as long as that doesn't become her only storyline. Just like Iris, Caitlin is a great character that deserves more.

I want her journey to be more about finding herself rather than finding love. Things will work out better in life when you are a complete as a person.

3. The Barry/Iris Wedding To Be A Success

Superhero weddings are never easy whether it's in comics or in live-action. The Flash Season 4 has promised that we'll see Barry and Iris finally get married this year.

It will be taking place during this year's 4-show crossover titled Crisis on Earth-X. Because what would a superhero wedding be without evil versions of yourself as Nazis from a different universe crashing the party?

I'm still not over the fact that Clark Kent and Lois Lane's wedding on Smallville got crashed. That wedding got ruined because of a Darkseid-possessed Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.

I guess it could have been worse since in this crossover, a bunch of Nazis will be the party poopers. Even if they have to a do-over later in the crossover, I want the wedding to still feel spectacular.

That shouldn't be too much to ask for the most iconic power couple in the DC TV Universe, right?

4. Harry Wells To Permanently Move To Earth-1

Even though we are getting a new Harrison Wells at some point this season...can't we just keep Harry Wells? Don't get me wrong, I love to see Tom Cavanagh playing multiple versions of himself.

But why can't Harry just move to Earth-1? Does he really have anything going on over at Earth-2? Probably, but how would we know.

It's fine if this new Harrison is just sticking around for a little bit. However, Harry should be the main Wells in The Flash Season 4 moving forward.

He grounds the team perfectly and who doesn't just love his banter with Cisco. Only time will tell what they will do.

5. Kid Flash To Get A Bigger Role - The Flash

We had plenty of Wally West as Kid Flash in The Flash Season 3. But it still didn't feel enough by the time the season ended.

While Wally still is Barry's partner, I want The Flash Season 4 to really expand his role. I get that The Flash is always going to be through Barry's perspective.

But Wally is just as great of a character as Barry is. For the longest time in DC history we saw Wally being everyone's favorite Flash.

At the very least I want The Flash Season 4 can give us more of Barry/Wally as the speedster duo. It should feel more as a partnership rather than leading hero/sidekick.

6. Speed Force To Be Less Of A Dick

Savitar wasn't really the only villain in The Flash Season 3. The Speed Force, you know, the source of the speedster's powers, was one too.

I get the Speed Force's reasoning since Barry messed with time once or twice. But in The Flash Season 4 I want to see that force be a fair ally again.

It would just be so odd if Barry has to fear the Speed Force in the future after he gets out. I'm not saying it should be a friend to our heroes but it shouldn't be a foe either.

7. More Jay Garrick

How come we get so little of Jay Garrick on this show? After all, The Flash Season 2 went through such lengths to introduce him from Earth-3.

Maybe we could see Barry and Wally head over to Earth-3 for an episode. Just to see more of Jay's world and for an epic team-up.

When you have John Wesley Shipp, TV's first Flash in the 90s, you shouldn't waste him! Maybe use him a few more times in The Flash Season 4.

8. Another Annual Supergirl/The Flash Crossover

Don't get me wrong, I love when all the DC shows on The CW come together for a crossover. But the Supergirl/Flash crossovers are just as fun and sometimes more fun than the mega-events.

Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist on screen together is always a joy. While we sadly won't get another musical this season, I want some form of Super-Flash crossover again.

It wouldn't like a true DC TV season without a Supergirl/Flash adventure in the spring. Maybe they can come together for a proper race this time? Even though Barry would clearly win.

9. Bring Back Jesse Quick For A Bigger Role

It can sometimes be a sausage fest when we only see the male speedsters. Luckily we have Jesse Quick who The Flash doesn't use enough of.

Is it too much to ask for a female speedster to get some time to shine? I was disappointed that she was mostly used for relationship drama with Wally last season.

Don't get me wrong, Wally and Jesse are fantastic together. But we didn't get to see enough of Jesse as hero since she kept getting benched all the time.

For Speed Force's sake, she is the Flash of Earth-2! The woman knows her stuff and then some. While Violett Beane did just book a new gig on FOX, we can always pray that we will see her in the spring.

Only this time I want her to have a bigger role that ideally leads to a series regular position in Season 5. I'm just putting it out there.

10. Assemble The Rogues

Did you know that in the comic lore, Flash doesn't just have evil speedsters as the main baddies? Central City is also known as the home of the Rogues with Captain Cold, Heatwave, Trickster and many more.

After almost four seasons, we have pretty much seen all of the members. We are even getting another one in Katee Sackhoff's Blacksmith this year!

The Thinker will be the leading villain in The Flash Season 4 so the position of big bad is already filled. But it's time The Flash starts to assemble the Rogues that could be the main threat for Season 5 in some capacity.

Whatever new version of Captain Cold we are getting on Legends should just come over to The Flash once they are done with him. It wouldn't hurt to get a new version of Heatwave too.

We have waited long enough for The Flash to bring this delicious group together against our speedsters.

11. Put A Flash Ring On It

It's a wonder how The Flash has still not gotten a Flash Ring after three seasons. In the comics, the ring is able to contain Barry's suit so he can whip it out whenever he needs to change.

With brilliant minds like Cisco and Harry, The Flash Season 4 is the time to put some bling-bling on our speedsters.

Heck, Harry even offered Barry to make a ring back in Season 2! He straight up said that he knows a thing or two about micro-technology.

Besides, it's getting a little old that Barry and Wally always have to run to STAR LAbs to get their suits. A ring that can store your suit? There is nothing bad about that!

12. Introduce Bart Allen/Impulse

Barry, Jay, Wally, and Jesse are not the only famous speedsters in the Flash mythos. Bart Allen a.k.a. Impulse is the son of Don Allen, one of Barry and Iris's future kids.

Smallville fans will remember Bart when he was played by Kyle Gallner. The Flash has even given a hilarious nod or two to Bart in past seasons.

It's time that we meet the Arrowverse's version of Bart in The Flash Season 4. He doesn't have to be a main character necessarily, but at least as a fun guest character.

Introducing Bart would also be perfect for this season because Barry and Iris are getting married. What would be a greater way to symbolize how epic their love is by having one of their future grandchildren visit them in 2017?

I can't think of a better way to show the amazing family that Barry and Iris are going create down the line. There is also another reason I want Bart to show up, but more on that later.

13. More Of Barry As CSI

One of the things I loved in The Flash Season 1 was when we got to see Barry at his day job. Not only is Barry a great speedster, but also a gifted CSI.

A recurring problem in The Flash is that several characters are barely shown at work. Everyone is usually just at STAR Labs which I do see as an important aspect of this show.

But not showing Iris as a reporter or Barry as a CSI shouldn't be the case. What I want to see from The Flash Season 4 is everyone, including Barry, getting to balance their double lives.

14. A Visit To A Fun Future

Before I go on, let me be clear: I don't need a ton of time travel in The Flash Season 4. But something that wouldn't hurt the new season is a visit into the future.

Barry only seems to get hate from the Speed Force when he goes BACK in time. But we did see him visit 2024 which seemed perfectly fine with the force.

Even though 2024 was grim and depressing because Iris was dead and Team Flash was broken. This year I want to see our speedsters visit a future that looks optimistic.

This could be a way to utilize Bart's presence on The Flash by showing us where he comes from.

15. Flash Family

One of the strongest elements of The Flash mythology is the concept of the Flash Family. The Flash Season 4 is all about bringing back the light and hope.

With almost all the iconic speedsters from the comics on the show, I want this year to really give us the sense of a Flash family. Not just as STAR Labs' Team Flash, but the overall Flash family.

It would fit in so well with the theme of the fourth season. The Flash has always had this family tone to itself, but a family of speedsters would only be a great bonus.

Be sure to let us know in the comments what you want to see in The Flash Season 4! Do you agree with our wishlist?

The Flash Quotes

Ramsey: You know, I don't understand you Barry. You march towards death without fear, just like mum. Where is it you get your strength?
Barry: Probably the same place she did, people I love.

Where I came from, I was a speedster like you. They called me The Flash.
