    TV Flash candidates

    Latino Review is reporting two dudes Up for the role of Flash/Barry Allen for the Arrow show. I read elsewhere shooting is to begin Sept. 30.

    I'd pick the blond one if their talents are equal, although they are kind of pretty boys.

    As long as they give us a fairly faithful adaptation of the hero and outfit, I will be thrilled.

      Matt Barr was respectable in the Hatfields & McCoys miniseries.

          The guy seems a bit young to be a forensics scientist. Maybe he just got out of college and is new at it?

          He was born AFTER the previous Flash series debuted. Things that make you feel OLD.

            I have no impression of this guy, which my be very good.

            Do you want them to bleach his hair to match the comics or does that matter? I'd like for them to do so, but I'm not sure it's a big deal.

            The costume is a big deal. I hope whatever they do with it looks sharp.

              I'm 21 and about to go into forensic anthropology so its possible haha. I think hes a bit young but looking at the New 52 in general most characters look younger and titans are looking older so it works. Ive seen grant a few times on glee and i think he could do good.

                I'll give them a chance to impress me with him , but i do hope they will make him blonde. He is playing Barry Allen.

                  I'd normally say I have mixed feelings, but I don't have feelings at all. I'm a heartless robot with this annoucement.

                  He's 23 so he'd be around for a long while if they transition between tv and film.

                  He has some acting experience on television but not too well known as to influence public opinion.

                  He will probably show up in a red hoodie for his debut.

                  I have never seen an episode of Arrow.

                  DC and WB knows exactly what they are doing.

                  SOme of the above statements have varying degrees of truth.
                  I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                    Nope. Geoff Johns has stated multiple times that there will be "No sweat suits or strange code names; he will be The Flash." He'll actually first show up as Barry and will get his powers sometime later (there's a 3 episode story arc with him).

                    Then you're missing out. It is an awesome, well acted, well written show that makes you want more the second it ends. I would recommend a binge watch before season 2 starts. [/QUOTE]

                      ^Yeah, Arrow is a good show. If you think of it as "alternate Earth Green Arrow" then it works. It has all the good parts of Smallville, minus nearly all the sophomoric teen angst trappings. Last season had a very real-world, Nolan-esque vibe about it. It really worked for the character, surprisingly.

                        Here's a link to a short Q/A with the guy who will be Flash. I think he's work OK. A little younger than what I would have thought for Barry Allen, but he looks excited for the role.

                          It's the CW, a network I can't stand, I'll pass.

                            After some serious thought, I'm willing to give this new Flash a try, this is due because I loved the 90s John Wesley Shipp's Flash show...however...if the new Flash shows up with some lame red hoddie like Arrow's green hoodie, I'm out faster than Flash can run.

                              Mike Grell gave Green Arrow a hoodie in the late 80s, but I agree no hoodie on the Flash.
