Previously, Flash fans saw (Grant Gustin) Barry Allen's debut on 'Arrow' Season 2's two-part mid-season finale. He notably visited Starling City as part of the team that investigated a mysterious break-in at Queen Consolidated. Barry quickly established a connection with (Emily Bett Rickards) Felicity Smoak and was even enlisted to help (Stephen Amell) Oliver Queen. However, after helping the Arrow team, Barry returned to Central City on the same night the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator was to be unveiled. But things got a little messy from there when the device malfunctioned. Barry Allen was struck by a bolt of lightning, throwing him into a collection of chemicals. He has been under a coma since and was eventually moved to S.T.A.R. Labs for treatment. Nevertheless, aside from recuperation, he is actually developing powers he can only imagine in his lifetime.

Interestingly, producers and the people involved in the new series recently had a press Q&A, revealing the strong points of their show. "We always talk about the show like it's 'Flash Begins,'" Producer/Writer Andrew Kreisberg said. "Iris in the comics is a famous award-winning journalist. We're seeing her from the ground up. She's starting as a blogger and as the season progresses we're going to see her really take journalism to heart and that's really her beginning." Kreisberg then continued by comparing 'The Flash' with 'Arrow.' "When you start Arrow, Oliver was every bit as much the Green Arrow as he ever was going to be, skill-wise," he said. "But for the Flash, it's day one of being a hero. And you experience the show through Barry, and you learn and experience becoming the hero just as he does... This show, more than any show out there, ever, embraces the superhero lore. There's no reluctance on anyone's part. We're all-in on it. This is the most comic book show that's ever been made."

The official synopsis of 'The Flash' season 1 episode 1 reads: "Barry Allen was just 11 years old when his mother was killed in a bizarre and terrifying incident and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. With his life changed forever by the tragedy, Barry was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West, the father of Barry's best friend, Iris. Now, Barry has become a brilliant, driven and endearingly geeky CSI investigator, whose determination to uncover the truth about his mother's strange death leads him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement that comes along. Barry's latest obsession is a cutting edge particle accelerator, created by visionary physicist Harrison Wells and his S.T.A.R. Labs team members, Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, who claim that this invention will bring about unimaginable advancements in power and medicine."
"However, something goes horribly wrong during the public unveiling, and when the devastating explosion causes a freak storm, many lives are lost and Barry is struck by lightning. After nine months in a coma, Barry awakens to find his life has changed once again - the accident has given him the power of super speed. Thrilled with his new powers, Barry learns how to control them with the help of Dr. Wells and his team. However, keeping his secret from his best friend Iris is proving to be harder than he thought, especially when Joe's new partner, Eddie Thawne, catches her eye. When another meta-human attacks the city, it's time to put Barry's new powers, and himself, to the test."
