Pilot (The Flash)
On July 30, 2013, it was announced that "Arrow" co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, its pilot director David Nutter, and DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns would develop a television series based on the Flash for The CW. It would detail Barry Allen's origin. After the announcement, Kreisberg revealed that Barry would appear first as a recurring character in three episodes of "Arrow" season two, written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns. The third appearance would serve as a backdoor pilot for the new show. Kreisberg added that Barry would be a forensic scientist, and the introduction of his superpower, and his reactions to it, would be very human and grounded.
