The Reverse - Flash reveals that his body is permanently connected to the Speed Force, enabling him to create the negative version of it, with which he escaped prison.

Thawne later reveals that the new timeline was created by Barry himself, who went back in time to stop the Reverse Flash from killing his mother. After Thawne is killed by the Batman of this reality with an Amazonian sword, the Flash travels back in time to stop his younger self from altering history but instead, under the manipulations of Pandora, a third, new timeline is created, in which DC Comics ' continuity takes place from 2011 onwards.
