If you are following “Arrow,” a television series based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, then you will have seen signs of the possibility of birth of “The Flash” in the same universe. We were introduced to a young Barry Allen who, after having witnessed his mother’s murder and having his father wrongly accused, becomes an assistant police forensic investigator, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery that rocked his childhood.

One of the episodes shows Barry getting struck by lightning and going into a coma when the STAR Labs particle accelerator malfunctions and causes a thunderstorm. Barry goes into a coma after being struck by lightning and thus the show built the hype over the eventuality of him turning into the Flash and joining the Arrow to share his vigilante duties.

However, that promising turn of events has now turned into a spinoff show in its own entirety with the Arrow serving more as a mentor with occasional advice to give.

Watch out for “The Flash” starring Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Tom Cavanagh as Dr. Harrison Wells, Danielle Panabaker as Dr. Caitlin Snow, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon and Jesse L. Martin as Detective Joe West.
