After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion — and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.

Discover what makes a hero. #TheFlash series premieres Tuesday, October 7 at 8/7c on @CW_network! pic.twitter.com/XpUVIKBT5h

SpoilerTV seems very angry..

TheManFromMars - 8/26/2014, 10:56 AM

I liked it.

batz11 - 8/26/2014, 10:56 AM

Cool, but it's an open street, isn't the fastest path from point A to B a straight line?

Pheezmatic - 8/26/2014, 11:04 AM

Uh...why would he run forwards and then backwards and then forwards again?....that is stupid.

Pheezmatic - 8/26/2014, 11:05 AM

Haha batz...beat me to it :D

Crawler - 8/26/2014, 11:08 AM

Yeah, but Barry likes symbolism, and let's face it, he has time to backtrack.

Crawler - 8/26/2014, 11:09 AM

If the Human Torch has time to make flaming fours in the sky, The Flash has time to make lightning bolts in the streets.

batz11 - 8/26/2014, 11:09 AM

Great minds pheez! Or just idiots for saying something so stupid?

Owlman88 - 8/26/2014, 11:12 AM

Queen Consolidated
STAR Labs
AmerTek
Kord Industries

So, is this guy coming to The CW?:

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/26/2014, 11:13 AM

That could pass for a movie poster

gambgel - 8/26/2014, 11:23 AM

pretty cool. cant wait to see some episodes already

laughterman26 - 8/26/2014, 11:32 AM

He's clearly drunk he goes from the right lane to the lest then back and repeats it till he's in the middle lane. GO HOME BARRY YOUR DRUNK

Battabing - 8/26/2014, 11:43 AM

Very nice poster.
I see all those companies in the background. I have to admit, though, it's a missed opportunity not having Michael Holt be the one trying to take over Ollie's company, but I'm thinking they want to use Mr. Terrific in the movies otherwise, he'd have been a perfect fit for Arrow.

As for The Flash, can't wait!!

sahind - 8/26/2014, 11:48 AM

Great Concept.

IISuperSlothII - 8/26/2014, 11:53 AM

Grodd Lives is on the path on the bottom right of the poster. and Amertek on the left is to do with a character called Steel. (had to make a trip to google for that one)

SteveBosell - 8/26/2014, 11:56 AM

I'm really liking all the posters for The Flash thus far.

FOOM - 8/26/2014, 12:01 PM

Likely to be a Flash in the pan.

DEFA - 8/26/2014, 12:02 PM

- Cool...!!

McGee - 8/26/2014, 12:07 PM

Girls don't give me the time of day anymore....ever since news spread that I'm done in a Flash. :(

YeezusWept - 8/26/2014, 12:08 PM

Now this is a superhero show!

McGee - 8/26/2014, 12:27 PM

Maybe....it can't be because of the pubic hair bunnies.

I got that shampoo now.

GenreFan - 8/26/2014, 12:55 PM

Kind of silly when you think about the path that he's running, but I get it. He's making the symbol. Still kind of makes me chuckle to know he's running down the street. You know, on patrol or on the way to stop a crime .. then .. doh! runs back .. then doh! runs forward then doh! runs back...

Kind of like in The Dark Knight Rises when he takes a moment to climb a bridge with multiple cans of flammable gel or whatever he used to do it, paint a bat symbol with said gel/paint, leave a trail that ran down the bridge and across a frozen river and lit said bat sign. While there's a horrifying hostage situation unfolding in his precious city.

Well not really like that but .. you know.

vtopa - 8/26/2014, 1:41 PM

Forgive my ignorance here, but does this mean that the actor playing the Flash in this series will also play him in the Justice League movies?

Super12 - 8/26/2014, 1:54 PM

@vtopa no they are going to be separate universes.

But thats a sweet poster

slickrickdesigns - 8/26/2014, 2:25 PM

Haven't been impressed with anything from this show yet, except this Poster Ad… I like it! Nicely done.

DCGuy - 8/26/2014, 2:47 PM
