The series doesn't have to end then in there but I do see it happening.

By calculations the fight between Flash and Reverse Flash would occur at the end of season 10 in real time.

Since Smallville was 10 seasons long, I do see the Flash tv series running that long, possibly even longer. The only question is, will it continue to be good by then? I think it can.

The article also spoils the fact that Green Arrow, Hawkgirl, Atom, Iris West and Joe West will survive till that point in the series.

Of course it's still labelled as a "potential" future and might not be how it actually turns out.

But like they've been suggesting in Flash and LoT, time can't change; and no matter what anyone does time will always find a way to repair itself, and the future will happen. (It's kind of sad if you think about it).

In other words time is like a river (and I think they said this once Xmen: Days of Future Past). You can throw a pebble into a river and cause a temporary ripple on the surface, but eventually it will recover it's form and keep running the way it's meant to.

By the time we're at season 10 (if the series makes it that far), Flash may be the fastest he's ever been, and the Reverse Flash will also be at his full potential since running back in time during season 1 caused him to lose most of his speed, so it will be a truly spectacular battle.
