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.
