Grant Gustin training to be The Flash
The CW have released the description (via FlashTVNews) for the eighth episode of the second season of Arrow, titled "The Scientist", featuring Glee's Grant Gustin guest starring as Barry Allen, who ultimately becomes The Flash in Episode 20.

The following description reveals just what exactly brings Barry Allen to Starling City and how he gets tangled up in all of it. Will this episode bring more hints about the S.T.A.R Labs particle accelerator? Gustin's screentest has been praised by the likes of Geoff Johns, and his performance in the episode was even moreso praised by the producers and talent involved with Arrow. David Rappaport and the Arrow crew haven't missed a beat with casting yet, so Grant Gustin will probably be no different.
BARRY ALLEN COMES TO STARLING CITY — A seemingly impossible robbery at Queen Consolidated’s Applied Sciences Division brings Central City police scientist Barry Allen (guest star Grant Gustin) to town. Citing a similar case back home, Barry offers to help Oliver (Stephen Amell) and team with the investigation. Oliver senses there is more to Barry than meets the eye, but he’s distracted by the similarities between this current case and something that happened on the island. Meanwhile, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) takes a liking to Barry, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Oliver. Sin (guest star Bex Taylor-Klaus) asks Roy (Colton Haynes) for help when a friend of hers goes missing. Roy is surprised when Thea (Willa Holland) not only encourages him to help, but joins the search. Unfortunately, Sin’s friend is connected to Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro), and their search ultimately gets one of them seriously injured. Michael Schultz directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Andrew Kreisberg & Geoff Johns (#208).

This is kid is way too skinny (no muscle), way too feminine (watch his Youtube interviews) and way too young (not surprising considering CW is for teens). I love Arrow and Stephen Amell but this better NOT be Flash in the DC cinematic universe..

Are you sure they can pull this off? They've screwed up Black Canary, made Sin an emo white girl and didn't Shado rape Ollie in the comics?

Can't wait to see Grant's portrayal of Barry!
Been re-reading a lot of Flash comics and loving the way Barry is written.

@DCNY

A skinny kid that comes off as too feminine could describe the pre lightning Barry Allen in his first appearance back in 1956. Nobody should ever look at Barry Allen and see a
rugged individual,they should see lab rat.

If the kid shows us he can display a superheroic persona once he puts on the costume he should be just fine.

After all, isn't it acting if you can play somebody that has a different personality then your own?

Awwwwww I hope this kid can pull it off!!!!!! I do sense that DC/WB is looking for a younger person to play The Flash due to personality and to appeal to a young audience.

You know they have casted Arrow great with Amell and they said they guy is great so here is hoping that they know something we all don't know!

He definitely wasn't my choice, but I'm hoping I get proven wrong. I'll always give him a chance. Hey, its the Scarlet Speedster we're talking about!

Here's to Flash!!!

Got a good feeling about this guy. I wasn't too thrilled with Amell when he was cast and look how that turned out (he IS Green Arrow).

So is this Flash going to be in the JLA film along with Green Arrow? Would be kind of cool if they linked both of those. By then Arrow will be in what it's 6th season right?

Never watched even one episode of Arrow. But I'll tune into this episode because I want to see if this actor playing Barry Allen could actually have the acting chops to lead a MOVIE franchise.

On a side note I don't mind a young Flash. I think in the DCCU the big-3 should be the eldest, they are the leaders after-all.

Having a younger Flash and GL could add another dimension to the group dynamics. Not a lot younger, but significant enough that their inexperience is noticeable and can weave into the plot on occasion.

The trick is, they also have to be able to carry their own franchises, and I'm highly skeptical that a TV actor can just transition to a movie career like that, especially at that young of an age.

Remember, this isn't an A-list TV series either, this is on the CW.

I highly doubt this guy is going to be the Flash in the movies. TV sure, but in the Cinematic Universe? Nah. I agree with the assessment that he looks too young and seems too skinny. I would rather have Chris Pine or one someone better play the Flash in the films.
