That is why Barry is not allowed to leave. The Speedforce wants to keep him face. Not quite how that work, the Speed Force before New 52 was simply made when Barry Allen's lightning bolt accident happened, it doesn't depend on him after that moment.

Plus, the show might be different. wouldn't it be cool if Barry died and he's in a purgatory-like place and Joe is actually The Black Flash (in disguise as someone Barry knows and trusts) and is there to reap him.

Told my theory to a friend of mine who thought I meant Joe was Black Flash because he was black. I want to go ahead and clarify that Joe's race had nothing to do with it. Barry trusts him and it would only make sense for The Black Flash to take the form of Joe or Henry. I've seen others say Joe might be the speed force taking the form of Joe which would be cool too, but come on who doesn't want to see the Black Flash in all his awesome and terrifying glory. That would make sense and be kinda cool
