This is because Savitar actually says so…again, through Julian Albert. This means that, Savitar will be created…soon. Therefore, this says to me that Barry “Savitar” Allen exists outside of the current timeline, he is not part of the linear movement of time or an intended participant in this timeline further evidenced in the most recent episode (episode 20) when the Flash says to Savitar “you’re all about time”, which will become more relevant later. Now time is even less of a fixed construct in the Legends of Tomorrow show but if we assume the timeline is not changed since this message as it was post-Flashpoint as far as we know, then the Barry Allen of 2056 is not Savitar either, unless he was then changed back. But there is the issue “if” he does…further to this the message received by Rip Hunter in Legends of tomorrow which came in the form of a warning issued by Barry Allen of 2056. Therefore if the Barry Allen of this timeline is due to change into Savitar he has not done it by February 2024. That further evidence comes in the form of episode 19 Barry Allen from February 2024 is not Savitar. It also suggests that the Flash and Savitar are two separate people (or two separate but present Barry Allen’s), although this is only confirmed when considering further evidence. This suggests to us two things, firstly that his creation has not happened yet in the current timeline, which would seem to rule out the time remnant Barry Allen from the end of Season Two and the defeat of Zoom sequence, which is reinforced by Savitar’s knowledge of Flashpoint and the events currently taking place…sad for fans of this theory, I’m sorry. Firstly, Savitar tells Flash (through Draco, I mean Julian Albert) “you are there when I am created”. So, when is Savitar created? When? When? When? Well, let’s narrow it down by looking at the evidence. The first of these is most important and I think leads to the explanation of the rest of them. What role does the Philosopher’s stone provide? What motivates Barry “Savitar” Allen to befriend Caitlin “Killer Frost” Snow? What motivates Barry “Savitar” Allen to kill Iris West? How key is Flashpoint to the finale of the movie? What I love about this reveal is that although it was expected it generates so many questions that fans were ready to ask upon the grand reveal. But! The past is the past, which is rare with The Flash, but it is and so we don’t need to revise it again because we now know that Savitar is Barry Allen. There was a bit of a curveball in Episode 19 when we saw Killer Frost show tremendous willingness to help Savitar after seeing who he was under the armour leading many to believe it was somehow Ronnie Raymond or even a version of Caitlin Snow herself…wild ideas, but never really plausible. I don’t think too many people were surprised. So Savitar is Barry Allen! Hands up if you were surprised.
