The other day I said the actor didn't much look like Vibe, but I'm taking that back now, haha. Also, they're taking an interesting direction with the West family.

The Flash TV Show Will Have a ?Sci-Fi Bent?

It sounds like when The Flash comes to The CW in the fall, it may have more tonally in common with Smallville than Arrow.

That?s because even though the Grant Gustin-led series spun out of the gritty, street-level Green Arrow drama, it will feature more super-powered villains and, at least on the face of it, a lighter tone than Arrow, according to a new Digital Spy interview with executive producer Greg Berlanti.

?We often talk about how Oliver comes off like a pessimist, but deep down he?s an optimist and has hope,? Berlanti said. ?Barry lost his mother at a very young age, his father was sent to prison for murdering his mom, he went through a lot of stuff ? on the surface he?s bubbly and upbeat and seems like an optimist, but deep down maybe there?s no hope left. So they?re a really nice contrast to each other and the show functions in that way, I think. Certainly in the pilot script Barry has an effervescence and a lightness, but there?s still a dark well beneath that.?

It isn?t just in the spiritual, character-driven sense that the shows will be different, either; while Arrow has so far found Christopher Nolan-friendly ways of dealing with DC?s over-the-top rogues gallery, Berlanti said that The Flash will feature more super-powered characters, with the particle accelerator that gave Barry Allen his super-speed continuing to play into future stories.

The CW?s Arrow spin-off pilot has tapped Ed alum Tom Cavanagh to play Harrison Wells, a rock star physicist who had a hand in shaping Barry Allen?s new reality, TVLine has learned.

 

Wells is the mind and money behind Central City?s S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator. After the lab?s explosion, he becomes a pariah but finds the road to redemption when he discovers that his failed experiment unintentionally created the world?s fastest man.
