We have previously seen Jay Garrick in atrailerreleased last week, where he issues a warning for Team Flash, but this video shows both of these respective Flash’s shaking hands, giving us a brief look at Jay Garrick with his helmet on. In theDC Comics, Jay Garrick was the very first version ofThe Flash, with Barry Allen making his debut in 1956. The iconic 1961 comic bookFlash of Two Worldsrevealed that both of these characters were from alternate worlds in the “multiverse,” with these characters coming from Earth-1 and Earth-2. This groundbreaking comic introduced the concept of the “multiverse,” which will be explored inSeason 2.

TheSeason 2premiere episode, titledThe Man Who Saved Central City, airing Tuesday, October 6 at 8 PM ET on The CW, will feature the debut of Atom Smasher.
It has also been confirmed that characters from last season, such as Gorilla Grodd,Captain Cold(Wentworth Miller) and his sister, the Golden Glider (Peyton List) will return.Tom Cavanaghwill also return as Harrison Wells/Reverse Flash, but the producers have already confirmed that he won’t be interacting with Barry Allen, since he was sent away to Earth-2 in the season finale.
