The CW have tonight released the first promotional image (left) of their upcoming superhero drama The Flash. A spin-off of the studio's superb series Arrow, this adaptation of yet another DC comic-book character will commence filming on its pilot (i.e. test) episode next week.
Fans of the mother show may recall that the Flash's human alter-ego Barry Allen appeared in Arrow's two-part mid-season finale The Scientist and Three Ghosts last year, played by Glee's Grant Gustin. Well, it's precisely this incarnation of the patience-challenged racer who will serve as the protagonist for the main series, with Gustin set to reprise his role for as long as The CW are willing to produce further episodes and seasons. Barry was out for the count in a coma induced by a supernatural (and super-powering...?) lab accident in Three Ghosts, so we wouldn't be surprised if the pilot picks up with him awakening to reunite with his Central City allies and to begin discovering his newfound abilities. Of most importance for now, though, is this simple, self-resolving question- doesn't Grant look smashing in his modern reinvention of that classic costume, ear-adorning lightning bolt and all?
The Flash will debut on The CW this Autumn.
