Grant Gustin is the perfect Barry Allen/The Flash. He is. If you've seen Arrow, you could tell that they wrote his character directly from the comics. Grant Gustin made the character so lovable and attracted a lot of viewers over the winter.
For those who think he's too young, 24 is around the age the Flash began his hero life. If the CW's new hit show lasts for 10 years, Grant will only be 34 by the time it finishes, so he won't look really old during the series.
What do you think?

I have to agree with you. At first I was skeptic about it, but then after seeing the way he was portrayed and how well Grant did I was very pleased with the actor choice.

Barry in the comics wasn't quite as geeky as the current TV version. He was, however, a big comic book fan so that seems to have carried over. Also the bit about Barry always being late is a nice touch. I think Grant Gustin will do fine. We only got to see the geek side of him in his two episodes of Arrow so it will be interesting to see Barry play the central hero in his own series. I think he'll do a good job. At this point I'm more curious about the villains they'll use in the series and if they'll have some variation on their classic costumes.

craigwashere I see your point about the geekiness. He was a great detective in Arrow, but I guess Ollie's identity is still to obvious. Him being late was really nice as well as his frustration.

flashgl78 Nice username! Yes, the cast is interesting. I'm excited for this so much. I would love if the pilot aired in August, though it's unlikely.

Okay just to keep things interesting. I'm wondering what side of Barry they will show? Someone mentioned that the episodes that showed Barry really focused on his geek-ish side. While in interviews, I think one of the Producers said something about Barry outwardly being very light and hopeful, but have an inner type of darkness (in contrast to Oliver who is rather dark and seemingly easy to fall on the negative side, but actually being a hopeful guy inwardly). Do you think we'll see this "darkness" in the first season? What other sides do you think will or should be explored?
Also I love Grant as Barry is so adorkable and so sweet, but I can't wait to explore his character. I've seen clips of his performances in both Glee and a cameo in NCIS: Miami.

greenclawedwitInner type of darkness? Hm, I think that means his mother's death really. Barry always wants to work on the cold case that involves his imprisoned dad. Though there could be other dark spots. One side that is being explored (in comics) is Barry not being able to save enough people. He tries to do his best, but he wants to be there for everybody. He doesn't accept that he is not meant to be the savior of everybody. I think that side could be shown in the third season or later. Grant Gustin singing "Smooth Criminal" is one that I love.
