Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg Teases What Comes From Barry’s New Knowledge
ARROW has exposed Oliver Queen’s secret identity to a handful of people during the run of the series, but when he got poisoned in last night’s episode, Felicity made the call to unmask him to her new friend, Barry Allen — AKA man who will soon become the Flash — in the hopes of saving his life.
The next episode, “Three Ghosts,” picks up where last night’s hour left off, and understandably, Barry is freaking out a little bit over his newfound knowledge.

Comments Off on ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Grant Gustin Preview The Flash’s Debut! Plus, a Tease For What John Barrowman’s Return Will Mean for the Queens
It’s been more than four months since it was announced that Flash/Barry Allen would be making his debut in the ARROW universe (with the intention to build a spinoff around that character), and tonight is the night viewers will finally get to meet him.
“Barry comes to Starling City because there is an unexplained robbery at Queen Consolidated, and Barry is very interested in the unexplained throughout the course of these two episodes,” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg teased to reporters earlier this week. “[Barry]’s the opposite of Oliver in a lot of ways: he’s funny and he’s outgoing, and a little unsure of himself, and smart.”
As for Barry’s portrayer — former GLEE guest star Grant Gustin — ARROW executive producers have nothing but praise for their newest star.

The CW Opts to Make THE FLASH Pilot a Standalone Hour

Comments Off on The CW Opts to Make THE FLASH Pilot a Standalone Hour
The Flash plans for ARROW have changed.
Originally, The Flash (who will be played by Grant Gustin) was set to have a three-episode arc on ARROW (episodes 8, 9, and 20), with the final hour serving as a backdoor pilot that introduced us more extensively to Barry Allen’s world. However, a CW rep has confirmed that while the first two episodes of the arc will play out as planned (with Barry/The Flash coming to Starling City), the official backdoor pilot (episode 20) will now be made as an official, separate pilot. (Meaning, you’ll only see it if The CW opts to pick the show up to series.) There’s no word yet on what ARROW will do with the episode, now that it won’t be featuring The Flash.
The change was first reported by Deadline.
Are you sad we’re getting less of The Flash on ARROW?

ARROW: GLEE’s Grant Gustin Cast as Flash

Comments Off on ARROW: GLEE’s Grant Gustin Cast as Flash
ARROW has found its Barry Allen/Flash in former GLEE star Grant Gustin, a rep for the show confirms. Gustin has been booked for three episodes, one of which will be a backdoor pilot for a potentially new series.
Per the show’s official description of Barry, he is a “Central City assistant police forensic investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. A comic book fan boy, Barry is obsessed with the Arrow unaware that working with Oliver and Felicity to solve the crime has brought him right into the dangerous world of the vigilante.”
ARROW: Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns Tease The Flash’s Introduction and Impact on Starling City

ARROW may be just getting ready for its second season, but already The CW is looking to expand the DC universe — ARROW will officially be bringing in Barry Allen (Flash) for an arc during the upcoming season of ARROW with the hopes of spinning it off.
“It really started with [ARROW executive producer] Greg Berlanti,” ARROW executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told reporters on a conference call this afternoon. “The Flash was his favorite character as a kid growing up, and he’s obviously been a strong, personal favorite of [ARROW executive producer] Geoff [Johns] and mine. So when Greg approached us one day and said, ‘What do you think if we did Flash as a spinoff?,’ all of us lit up. Despite the fact that he has super powers, there’s something very relatable about Barry of all the big seven of the Justice League. He got his powers by accident; he’s not a god, he’s not an alien. He wasn’t seeking this out, it came to him. So his reaction to that feels very human and grounded…Oliver Queen is a very dark and tortured soul, and Barry is not. I think it’ll be fun…to see these two characters together, because they both have distinctly different world views, while deeply caring about right and wrong.”
“And Barry’s somebody who is a cop,” Johns teased. “He follows the law, he follows the rules, he’s the last person in the world who would ever think about being a vigilante.”
In fact, Barry will be working for the good guys when ARROW viewers are first introduced to him. (Barry is currently scheduled to appear in episodes 8, 9, and 20 — all of which written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, while episode 20 will be directed by David Nutter.)
