Tomorrow, The Flash returns to the The CW to debut Season 3 to the world, and the network is teasing fans with a new sneak peek from the premiere. The first episode, which is titled "Flashpoint," will follow Barry Allen as he deals with the repercussions of time travel. And, apparently, the person who schools him about those consequences is Reverse Flash.

The CW just shared an extended teaser from "Flashpoint" that shows Barry and Reverse Flash getting into a testy argument. Everything kicks off when the villain asks Barry what they should call this new world, suggesting the name 'Flashpoint' to the delight of fans. However, Barry seems uninterested in Reverse Flash and his threats.

"I have everything back that you took from me," Barry taunts, flaunting his success in saving his mother from death after a harrowing time-travel event. "I'm finally free. I'm home."

However, Reverse Flash reminds Barry that this world is not either of their homes. And, what's more, there is a common enemy coming after the two of them: time.

"It's already screwing with you and everyone you love," Reverse Flash says, referencing time. "And, soon enough, it's going to take me right down along with you."

The clip clearly depicts the on-going tension between the two characters, an unsurprising fact given their history with one another. But, when Reverse Flash tells Barry the hero will be being him to kill his mother sooner rather than later, fans will surely blanche at the villain's words.

This extended sneak peek is just one of a few The CW has released ahead of its fall line-up. The network will welcome back Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow this month. And, notably, The CW will also debut Supergirl Season 2. The network uploaded a full video today titled "Superhero Fight Club 2.0" that shows the four series crossing over in one epic fight sequence. The clip is taken from the annual mash-up special The CW hosts annual for its DC Comics series.

If you're planning on checking out The Flash when it returns, you can definitely expect one wild ride. You can check out the full synopsis for the premiere episode below:

"WHAT WOULD YOU SACRIFICE TO HAVE EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED? — Barry (Grant Gustin) is living his dream life – his parents are alive, he's asked Iris West (Candice Patton) on a date and he can finally be a normal guy as Central City has another speedster, Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), running around saving the city. When Barry starts forgetting parts of his old life, the Reverse Flash (guest star Matt Letscher) taunts his nemesis and tells him that there will be serious repercussions for Barry and the ones he loves if he continues to live in this alternate universe. In addition to losing his memories, his powers will also start to fade. When disaster strikes, Barry must decide if he wants to continue to live in this world as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash."
