The Flash is a television series and a modern retelling of the DC Comics series, The Flash. The series is developed by writer/producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns, airing on The CW. The show is a spin-off of Arrow. The series premiered on October 7, 2014, airing at 8pm.

SYNOPSIS

Barry Allen was just 11 years old when his mother was killed in a bizarre and terrifying incident and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. With his life changed forever by the tragedy, Barry was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West, the father of Barry’s best friend, Iris. Now, Barry has become a brilliant, driven and endearingly geeky CSI investigator, whose determination to uncover the truth about his mother’s strange death leads him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement that comes along. Barry's latest obsession is a cutting edge particle accelerator, created by visionary physicist Harrison Wells and his S.T.A.R. Labs team, who claim that this invention will bring about unimaginable advancements in power and medicine. However, something goes horribly wrong during the public unveiling, and when the devastating explosion causes a freak storm, many lives are lost and Barry is struck by lightning.

After nine months in a coma, Barry awakens to find his life has changed once again - the accident has given him the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only "meta-human" who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion - and not everyone is using their new powers for good. In the months since the accident, the city has seen a sharp increase in missing people, unexplained deaths and other strange phenomena. Barry now has a renewed purpose - using his gift of speed to protect the innocent, while never giving up on his quest to solve his mother’s murder and clear his father’s name. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become. The Flash.

What We Know So Far About Arrow's Spin-off

Barry Allen, The Flash

Barry Allen’s version of The Flash has been in pop culture for more than a half-century, with thousands of stories told about him both individually and along with the Justice League, but we should probably just focus on this iteration of the character. Being played by Grant Gustin, Barry appeared on two episodes of Arrow earlier this season where he was introduced as a crime scene investigator from Central City who has a special interest in super-powered crimes due to the fact that his mother was a victim of one. Following his time in Starling City, he returns back home just in time to get caught in the explosive blast that comes as a result of an accident involving the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator. This big boom incapacitates Barry for some time and he spends a long time unconscious in the hospital, but when he awakens he discovers that he has somehow been given the power of super speed, which he then uses to become a vigilante fighting for good.

The Costume

Covered from head to toe in scarlet and little lightning bolts, Flash’s look is easily one of the most iconic in in the history superheroes, and from what we’ve seen so far, the upcoming pilot will be doing that design justice. Made out of both leather and an interesting mesh material that will probably serve a special function reducing friction while the hero runs, the costume looks like it was ripped straight from the pages of the comics and while we’re reserving final judgment until we get to see the thing in motion, you can consider us very pleased.

The Guys In Charge

While its completely expected to stand on its own, the Flash pilot is technically an Arrow spin-off, so it should surprise very few that there are some shared names between the projects. Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, who are both writers and producers on Arrow hope to soon bring the Scarlet Speedster to a TV near you soon with some help from Geoff Johns, the DC comic book writer who also worked on a couple episodes of Smallville. Following the success of both Superman and Green Arrow on the small screen, now the hope is that they can do the same thing for The Flash.

How Does It Connect With Arrow?

Much like how Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk can come together to form The Avengers on the big screen, the Flash pilot and Arrow exist in the same universe, and provided the former gets picked up as a series we should end up seeing a good amount of crossover between the two. Founding the connection, Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen already appeared on two episodes of the established superhero show, , and wound up creating a pretty cool origin story. Given that the two projects will be set in different cities they will act independently and have their own stories, but crossover is definitely something we should expect.
