The Flash Season 4 Release Date, Cast, Episodes, News, and Villain Details
The Flash Season 4 is confirmed, so don't worry about that. The show's third season was a marked improvement over the strange detours of season two, so confidence in the prospects about The Flash Season 4 runs pretty high around these parts.
The Flash Season 4 premiere is called "The Flash Reborn." Here's the synopsis:
With Barry (Grant Gustin) in the speed force, Iris (Candice Patton), Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and Vibe (Carlos Valdes) have taken over protecting Central City. However, when a powerful armored villain threatens to level the city if The Flash doesn’t appear, Cisco makes a risky decision to break Barry out of the speed force. However, the Barry that comes out isn’t the same Barry that went in.
Hartley Sawyer has been cast as Ralph Dibny. Who is Ralph Dibny? He's the Elongated Man, of course! Who's the Elongated Man? He's DC's stretchy superhero! No, not Plastic Man, the other one.
Here's the official word from DC:
We got some other casting news last week during The Flash SDCC panel:
Danny Trejo (Machete) is set to join the cast as Breacher, a bounty hunter and father of Gypsy (Jessica Camacho).
Neil Sandilands (The 100) is The Thinker, a metahuman who battles The Flash throughout the season. He is billed as the "fastest mind alive" and plans to fix what he believes to be wrong with humanity. We have more details on The Thinker down below.
Kim Engelbrecht (Dominion) plays The Mechanic, an engineer who creates devices for The Thinker. She is the villain's right hand.
Katee Sackhoff has joined The Flash Season 4 for a recurring role as the DC Comics villain Amunet Black, reports EW. The character will debut in Episode 5, titled “Girls Night Out,” in a role that will apparently be the centerpiece of a mini-crossover with Arrow, enlisting the help Emily Bett Rickards’s Felicity Smoak.
Amunet, a.k.a the Blacksmith, is known in DC Comics for gaining the power to manipulate metal, even merging it with her own flesh. However, she’s also a schemer extraordinaire who’s been married to the likes of rogues gallery members such as Hunter Zolomon (Zoom) and Goldface. She would eventually build a criminal network for herself, masterminding metahuman criminal endeavors that often collide with the Flash.
Sackhoff is considered geek royalty for her 2004-2009 run as Kara Starbuck on Syfy’s Battlestar Galactica. She had TV runs on Nip/Tuck and 24 and roles in films such as the 2013 horror film Oculus and the 2013 Vin Diesel franchise revival Riddick. She’s also been a standout on the cancelled Netflix-acquired modern western cop show Longmire, on which she will return in the upcoming sixth season. However, she’s put in time as a villain before, notably on NBC’s short-lived 2007 Bionic Woman reboot as the evil bionic prototype enemy of Michelle Ryan’s Jaime Sommers.
That's something of a relief. While, of course, season one's Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash was kind of the gold standard of speedster big bads, Zoom was a little more of a mixed bag during season two. The Savitar storyline continued to unfold during season three, but it's nice to see that they're looking to explore other options next year.
So who could that other, non-speedster villain be? Well, in one key episode, we got a major clue from a minor villain. As Abra Kadabra was being led off to face his fate, Barry tried to appeal to his better nature, begging for information about Savitar. While pointing out that nobody hurt Barry as badly as Savitar will, Kadabra rattled off the names of the villains who have most impacted Barry's life, including Thawne and Zoom. But there was another name.
"Devoe."
Devoe's name was mentioned again in the season finale, this time by Savitar.
There's only one Devoe worth mentioning in Flash mythology, and that's Clifford Devoe, the Thinker. Devoe is traditionally known as more of a Jay Garrick villain, first appearing in All-Flash Comics #12 way back in 1943. He took on both Jay Garrick and the Justice Society numerous times, and he had a quaint (by modern standards) "thinking cap" which allowed him some amplified psionic abilities. But when his physical body died, he became a non-living artificial intelligence with even greater power.
Here's the official synopsis for the season:

The Flash Season 4 Villain
A few months ago, we had our first clue about next year's big baddie. "Next season we're not going to have a speedster as the main bad guy," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told the crowd at Paley Fest in Los Angeles.That's something of a relief. While, of course, season one's Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash was kind of the gold standard of speedster big bads, Zoom was a little more of a mixed bag during season two. The Savitar storyline continued to unfold during season three, but it's nice to see that they're looking to explore other options next year.

The Flash Season 4 Story
The Flash season 4 episode 1 will be called "The Flash Reborn." This vaguely recalls the title of the comic series that brought Barry Allen back to life, The Flash: Rebirth, although clearly there will be significantly different circumstances here.Here's the official synopsis for the season:
Running up against an evil time remnant version of yourself is something no one should ever have to do, but that’s exactly what faced Barry Allen (aka The Flash) as he fought to save the life of fiancée Iris West from the God of Speed known as Savitar. Barry’s victory was short-lived, however, as an unbalanced Speed Force began to wreak havoc on Central City, forcing Barry to sacrifice himself for the greater good. With The Fastest Man Alive now trapped inside an extra-dimensional energy, and unknown dangers lurking in the shadows, it will be up to Team Flash to free Barry from his own personal Hell.
