THE SHOW: "The Flash"
THE NETWORK: The CW
THE PROPERTY: A Justice League staple and one of DC's most recognizable heroes, if picked up, "The Flash" will be the second live-action TV series starring the character, having already run across television screens on CBS for a single season in 1990-1991.
CURRENT STATUS: The Flash will first be introduced in civilian mode as Barry Allen (played by Grant Gustin) in episodes eight and nine of the current season of "Arrow," starting on Dec. 4. As revealed
earlier this week, the character will then star in a standalone pilot, as opposed to the backdoor pilot originally planned. DC Entertainment chief creative officer (and former long-time "Flash" comic book writer)
Geoff Johns has already praised Gustin's work, calling him, "not just another square jawed, broad-shouldered superhero." No word yet on whether original live-action Flash actor John Wesley-Shipp has been approached to play a part in this incarnation of the character.
