The character appears to be a variation of the comic book character Black Flash. This particular character was first introduced in The Flash. Vol 2 #138 from 1998. He happens to act as “Death” for those who use speed force. But with the upcoming film The Flash utilizing the Multiverse, it’ll be interesting to see if they go this route with the character or something else.
Fortunately, it shouldn’t be long before we find out more about the project. The trailer is expected to hit soon. And with the film’s release date finally approaching, the marketing campaign shouldn’t be too far behind. As such, we’ll likely learn much more about the film’s characters and story details.
