Watch This 5-Minute Trailer for ‘The Flash’

The Flash, the latest comic-related series from The CW, has released a five-minute trailer. A spin-off of Arrow, The Flash tells the story of Barry Allen, a forensic scientist who gains super-human speed after a bizarre accident. As most comic-book characters do, Allen (a.k.a. The Flash) uses his new powers to fight crime, as well as to search for the man who killed his mother many years ago.



Grant Gustin stars as Allen, along with Candice Patton as Iris West, Jesse L. Martin as Detective West, Michelle Harrison​ as Nora Allen and John Wesley Shipp from the original Flash TV series on CBS. The Flash will air Tuesdays on The CW beginning this fall.
