Another theory I have is Savitar isn't Future Barry, but a manifestation of the Spped Force who they made look like a future version of Barry. As they've done that before with Eddie, etc. The Speed Force creates Savitar after Flashpoint is fixed to teach Barry a lesson on the consequences of alternating the past and future. And that if he does what he did again like Flashpoint, he will become his worst enemy. And, it would make sense that Savitar knows the past, prsent, and future. Because the Speed Force exists outside the timeline, where they know the past, present, and future enough for Savitar to know what Barry will say to Caitlan, Cisco hiding in the rafters, etc. And the Speed Force has sent Time Wraiths and Black Flash out of the Speed Force, they could create this manifeststion.
