Everything You Need To Know About CW's 'The Flash'
Shooting for the pilot for CW’s latest superhero outing, 'The Flash' has gotten well and truly underway and there’s plenty of details coming out about the latest small screen outing of DC’s speediest superhero. With a full cast in place and the character getting its introduction in sister show ‘Arrow’, it wont be long until the show races its way onto our television screens. With that in mind we thought it’s best to keep ahead of the pack and bring you everything you need to know about ‘The Flash’.
A stir has also been caused by the casting of Rick Cossnet and Danielle Panabaker, whose character's bear a resembalance to the DC villains Reverse Flash and Killer Frost. it is thought that their two characters could be the origins of the famous villains. Then perhaps the most interesting piece of casting news is that John Wesley Shipp – who starred as Barry Allen in the short-lived 1990 TV series – will appear as a mystery character in the pilot episode of The Flash. There's no word yet on who he could play but maybe Jay Garrick, the original Flash could be making an appearance.

Well the first proper look at ‘The Flash’s’ costume has been revealed and the character seem to have really been given an updated look, compared to its 90s predecessor. The new costume is slightly darker in colour with a more leaner, aerodynamic design, that's much more fitting for a superhero whose powers are based on speed. However the costume still holds many similarities to the 90s version and is more of an update than a completley new look. As for the tone of the show, creators have said ‘The Flash’ will lean more towards being a sci-fi drama than crime based like 'Arrow'. Of course they’ll be plenty of action, intrigue and crime as well, since Barry is a crime scene investigator. Judging by what we know so far though, we can safely say that this looks to be a pretty epic series that will surely do justice to the much loved DC character.
