That's true, but I figured that this series really didn't delve into specifics like the fact that the Flash was not one man. If it is Barry (the Flash 2), then that's a huge mistake. If it's Wally West (the Flash 3), it might actually fit with the storyline shown for next week. After Wally took over for his mentor, he went through a difficult period of emotional instability during which he used his power irresponsibly.

According to kryptonsite.com, it's going to be Bart Allen (a.k.a. Impulse/Kid Flash, the grandson of Barry Allen). As I recall, however, Bart never actually became the Flash. He was a member fo the Teen Titans, Young Justice, and New Titans. He was also born in the year 2980. He did go back to the present to get better control of his powers, but I seriously doubt that Smallville would go into that.

Speaking of which, I wonder if it's time to bring the Flash back to tv? If they made it serious, and less Dawson's Creek-ish, it might do well.

Edit: If you saw that Barry and Wally were labeled Flash 2 and 3, and were wondering, Jay Garrick was the original Flash. The Golden Age of comics debued the Flash in Flash Comics #1, in January of 1940. He was also featured on Earth-2 (DC's setting of the Golden age, beginning with Action Comics back in 1938) during the Crisis.
