CW president Mark Pedowitz confirmed the news
today at the networks executive panel during the
Television Critics Association press tour in Los
Angeles. “We plan to introduce a recurring
character and the origin story of Dr. Barry Allen,
who you know as the Flash,” he said. “We do
want to expand upon the DC Universe. We think
that there are rich characters we can use, and
we felt like this was a very organic way to get
there.”
Pedowitz added during a smaller meeting with reporters that the show is just beginning the casting process, but they’re not necessarily looking for a well-known star. “I’m from the old school — TV creates stars. If we get a name, great. If we don’t get a name, they’ll become a name,” he said.
The character is set to first appear this fall and again in 2014. ”If you don’t feel the chemistry, it doesn’t happen,” Pedowitz said of a possible spin-off.
