Black Racer is a New God that acts as death for the New Gods.

Black Flash is a manifestation of Death for Speedsters as the normal Death is apparently unable to catch them. I said Black Racer too. I prefer the use of that name in this instance. I think a CW show could get away with that. But after I saw Zooms face change, you gotta call it Black Flash. He aint look cool enough to be called Black Racer. Look to my avatar image.

That is the New 52 version of the Black Racer and he only looks that way because of fusing with The Flash for a brief time, the old one is more "iconic" I'd say.
