Great start to the show!! ‘The Flash’ Crossover To Feature ‘Arrow’s ‘Biggest Surprise of All Time’ http://screenrant.com/flash-arrow-crossover-humor-surprise/

Beginning with The Flash in an episode titled “Flash vs. Arrow” (explained by producer Andrew Kreisberg by revealing that “you put the winner first! Wait no, it’s a tie. I’m teasing”), the network has given Arrow fans a major reason – if they needed another – to tune in to The Flash as well:“We have one of the biggest surprises on Arrow of all time on The Flash episode. And both episodes are really important for Barry’s growth… There’s a line in there that I will spoil because every time Grant said it, [I cracked up]. He goes, ‘When I fight you, it is literally like you’re standing still.’ And what’s hilarious about it is the unbelievable joy with which Grant delivers that line.”

The CW's pilot of 'The Flash' is intriguing and infuriating

Arrow Star Stephen Amell Is Not Happy About The Flash Casting http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Arrow-Star-Stephen-Amell-Happy-About-Flash-Casting-67982.html

The DC Cinematic Universe is a strange beast, at the moment. While Zack Snyder tries to prepare a movie audience for the arrival of The Justice League, members of that group are thriving on television screens across the nation on a weekly basis. Will there be brand confusion when it comes to a character like The Flash once DC and Warner Bros. try to roll out a Flash movie that’s separate from the TV show? One member of that exclusive community sure thinks crossover should be happening, and soon.Stephen Amell plays Arrow on The CW show of the same name. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Amell stood up for his CW colleague, Grant Gustin, who plays Flash on the new television program. It recently was announced that We Need To Talk About Kevin star Ezra Miller would play the Flash in DC’s feature film version of the superhero (due in theaters in 2018). And Amell kind of thinks that’s Bullsh!t. When asked if he thinks he should be playing Green Arrow in an upcoming DC movie, Amell candidly said:Yeah. Of course. And I feel like it should be Grant [Gustin] doing the movie."

Examining the First Four Episodes of The CW's 'The Flash' https://games.yahoo.com/news/examining-first-four-episodes-cws-201600432.html

When the first images of Grant Gustin in the Flash's costume were released, some people thought it wasn't bright enough and were concerned the show would have a darker and more dramatic tone. Thankfully, that isn't the case -- not at all. Yes, there's obviously plenty of drama -- it's a mandatory element in most plots, people -- but, for the most part, The Flash has been uplifting and overwhelmingly fun. Sure, there's tragedy, death, and darkness spilling into Central City, but it isn't being handled in an overly dramatic way and it doesn't take away from the mostly optimistic atmosphere. Even when Barry Allen suffers defeat or fails to save someone, they still find a way to turn the story into a positive experience. He loves what he does and it doesn't feel like a burden. He's growing and leaning from his failures; they aren't ripping him apart on the inside and making him grim.

The emphasis on being inspiring is easily one of this show's strongest qualities. No matter how dire the situation may be, The Flash always finds room for levity and puts a more positive spin on many of the emotional developments. They won't throw comedy in at a completely inappropriate time, but they do put Grant Gustin's charming personality and likable characters like Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) to good use. For example, instead of having Barry mope and feel bleak about his situation with Iris West (Candice Patton), the writers use his powers or sprinkle easter eggs into the dialogue for more comedic beats.

New poster for The Flash featuring Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen
The CW has released a new poster for its hit DC superhero show The Flash, featuring Grant Gustin as Barry Allen…

“After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with 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. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. 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.”The Flash airs on The CW on Tuesday nights. http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2014/11/new-poster-flash-featuring-grant-gustins-barry-allen.html
