Starting on Tuesday, October 7th, The Flash will have its back to back airing debut at CW at 8 PM with Supernatural!
The next one to premiere, is the one that has been buzzed about for a year already, "The Flash," the origin story of Barry Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin - a man who develops super speed after an odd incident which involves a lightning storm and a particle accelerator.
The series premiere of The Flash became this week's highlight. After its first announcement, there was a concern that Barry Allen might end up too much like how it turned out in Arrow; a dark and moody Starling City. Though, meeting Grant Gustin's Barry Allen let out a sigh of relief. From the looks of The Flash, it seem like the CW is not just building a little superhero universe but it's constructing a world where each hero has a different personality and style. Everything has been so far seems smooth, fast and fun, and the show is certainly won't stop on giving a superpowers in action. Fortunately, we'll get a relatively non-skeptical new superhero series out of this. We'll see more starting this week if it will be a big hit on television.
While on an interview with executive producer Andrew Kreisberg in MTV news reveals some facts regarding the TV series The Flash.
"We experience the show through Grant-through Barry. Who people are, what they seem, we're learning that as he's learning that," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg of Warner Bros said. "It's Flash begins: everybody's starting out."
"When Barry says in episode two, 'You know we were all struck by that bolt,' it's for everybody on the show; they were all changed that night, whether they know it or not," Kreisberg continued.
With his new ability, Barry is now considered as metahuman, and as episodes reveal, those are the villains he will be fighting: people with fantastic abilities to control the weather, play with time, see potential futures, and many more. Barry is just starting to figure out what he can do, and as he continue his journey, he, and Central City around him, will have to find out just what to do with these larger than life bad guys.
"It is very important to Barry that [he doesn't kill them]," Gustin stated.
Kreisberg then added that "what they're going to end up doing with the metahumans becomes a very big part of episode three. And then that becomes one of the biggest elements of the show-how they're going to deal with this."
On the other hand, Executive Producer Greg Berlanti explained that a major point to "The Flash" was filling the show with a wide variety of characters to be able to create an "anthology show."
"[We're] introducing characters that have been affected [by the accident] and them having their own lives that we're getting to dramatize and bring to the show," Berlanti said.
More characters to expect to arise are the Pied Piper (yet to be cast) and possibly even Booster Gold!
