The Flash

It has been a fantastic week in the world of of DC comics with news coming in all over the place about Zach Snyder's upcoming Batman VS Superman to the Arrow Final that blew us out of the water on wednesday. Though the thing that has me the most excited is all the new releases from the CW about The Flash. One week ago viewers and fans of various television shows learned who got the axe and who was here to stay, among these announcements came which shows had gotten the green light to air. Once fans heard The Flash was cleared for lift off everyone was talking about how they  couldn't wait to see what they would do with this show and to see footage.

The CW did not disappoint there fans this week with not only a one minute teaser trailer for the up and coming drama due to air in the Fall but also caught everyone by surprise with a five minute trailer giving us a idea of how they worked Barry's comic book origins into the show.

Bad news first: the origin of Barry Allen according to the show is a little confusing in the comic series barry's mom is killed by some random robber whereas in the show it appears that the reverse flash also known as zoom was the one who killed her giving birth to barry's need to be fast anough to save lives.

The trailer introduced us to Cisco someone we bet on Episode 19 season 2 of Arrow. A skeptical brilliant nerd who works for STAR Labs the same Laboratory that was keeping Barry under lock and key during his coma. Joining the cast is Criminal Minds Jesse L. Martin in the role of Detective West, Barry's boss.

So how does it look when our favorite speedster is running at the speed of light? The fastest man alive is fast alright with his signature crimson friction proof suit to put up with the abuse he puts it through when running through the streets of starling city. Since the show was announced the fans have been skeptical on how it would look like when he runs and true to form he has his trail of lightning that follows him as he runs.

Grant Gustin stole the hearts of Arrow fans when he showed up to play the dorky Barry Allen during season two and now even people who don't watch Arrow are already sold that he has what it takes to nail the part save for his lack of blonde hair of course. Speaking of Arrow, everyone's favorite hooded vigilante will be making a guest appearance to give starling city's fledgling hero a few pieces of advice. Perhaps we will see more of the Arrow working side by side with the Flash, a fan can dream cant she?

Iris West makes an appearance in the trailer and teases the future romance that comic book fans know is to come between Barry and Iris. Though fans of Arrow and future fans of Flash are hoping for a little romance between Arrow's IT genius Felicity Smoak. Personally I hope Barry stick with Iris there romance is beautiful in the book and will be in the show.

If you haven't seen the trailer for The Flash then I think you should, its definitely exciting and if your a fan as is it will make you jump up and down and scream with excitement...or was that just me? Ha! The Flash runs onto the small screen this Fall.
