* Barry Allen will be introduced in Episodes 8 and 9 of Arrow Season 2
(opening Oct. 9), as a forensics scientist working for the Central City police
department — “just an ordinary man,” said Kreisberg. “That’s how the
audience will get to know him before life gets a little bit faster.” Barry will
also appear in Episode 20, a formal backdoor pilot more focused on this new
character (and possibly planting fun Easter eggs along the way).
* Addressing the sticky wicket of creating The Flash in a world that has purposely been established as free of superpowers, Kreisberg said, “Part of the fun is for the audience is to go on that ride and see how we do our ‘Arrow take’ on the Flash legacy. Some of it will feel very familiar, and some will feel different.” All that said, Johns asserted, “He does need powers to be The Flash.” And as such, Kreisberg added, “Our characters will react to the extraordinary changes to their world in a realistic way. These ‘powers’ wont be treated as commonplace.”
