Fan Casting Barry Allen in Greg Berlanti's The Flash

Barry Allen is a brilliant but emotionally stunted CSI for the Central City Police Department, forever haunted by the unsolved murder of his mother and his father's wrongful imprisonment. When a lightning strike imbues him with superhuman speed, Barry becomes the Flash—a silent guardian who patrols the city in frozen moments of time. A man of obsessive intellect and buried grief, Barry must learn to stop thinking and start feeling, discovering that love—for his mother, for Iris, and for his city—is the only force faster than light.
