The Flash (2014 TV series)

The first season follows Barry Allen, a crime-scene investigator who gains superhuman speed from the explosion of the S.T.A.R. Labs' particle accelerator and becomes the costumed superhero the Flash. He uses his new powers to fight criminals along with other metahumans who have also gained superhuman abilities in Central City. Barry eventually discovers that his mentor Harrison Wells is actually Eobard Thawne–the Reverse-Flash–his archenemy from the future who traveled back in time to murder his mother, Nora Allen, when he was a child. Thawne is ultimately erased from existence when his ancestor Eddie sacrifices himself, causing a singularity to form in the process.

In the second season, the singularity brings the speedster Zoom from a parallel universe of Earth-2, who seeks to eliminate all other speedsters in the multiverse where Barry meets his father Henry Allen's Earth-3 counterpart Jay Garrick. After Zoom kills Barry's father, Barry defeats Zoom and travels back in time to save his mother's life.

In the third season, Barry creates the alternate timeline "Flashpoint" following his decision to change his past. He is able to partially restore the timeline, but causes the emergence of Savitar, a god-like speedster with a grudge against Barry. When Barry accidentally travels to the future and sees Iris West killed by Savitar, he becomes desperate to change the future to prevent that from happening. After saving Iris and defeating Savitar, Barry takes his place in the Speed Force in order to repent for his creation of Flashpoint.

The fourth season sees the team successfully bring Barry back from the Speed Force, but in the process release dark matter that turns a dozen people on a city bus into metahumans, masterminded by Clifford DeVoe, an adversary with the fastest mind alive. After the defeat of DeVoe, the team is approached by Barry and Iris' daughter from the future Nora West-Allen.

During the fifth season, the team discover that Nora's presence has altered the timeline and unleashed Cicada, a serial killer bent on killing metahumans, as well as the aftermath of thwarting Thinker's plot causing ordinary items to be imbued with dark matter that turns them into Meta-Tech. They also eventually learn of her allegiance with an imprisoned Eobard, who orchestrated Nora's arrival and previously trained her when it came to her fight with Godspeed. Barry and Nora succeed in subduing an escaped Eobard, but are forced to let him go and Nora is erased from the timeline.

In the sixth season, Barry and Iris learn that the crisis in which Barry disappears has moved up to December 2019, and that in order to save billions, the Flash must die. Meanwhile, Ramsey Rosso discovers a way to cure people through dark matter, only to turn himself into a metahuman with a violent bloodthirst. Following Rosso's defeat, Barry surviving Crisis, and the multiverse's destruction and rebirth, the team navigates the world post-Crisis all while the secret organization Black Hole and quantum engineer Eva McCulloch, who is trapped in the Mirror Dimension, move forward with their mysterious plans. Eva captures Iris, Kamila, and Captain Singh and imprisons them in Mirror Dimension while their mirror duplicates hinder Team Flash.

In the seventh season, Team Flash defeats Eva and creates a new Speed Force while Iris, Kamilla, and Singh escape the Mirror Dimension. As a side effect of Eva's attacks, Caitlin and Frost are separated into different bodies. Later, Team Flash contends with the birth of the Strength Force, the Sage Force, and the Still Force. Afterwards, Team Flash gets caught up in the Godspeed War, in which Barry is reunited with his future daughter Nora and meets his future son Bart Allen. Barry briefly allies with a reconstituted Thawne in order to defeat Godspeed, and afterwards, Thawne gets away vowing to become faster than Barry.

The eighth season opens with the five-part event "Armageddon". Thawne causes Barry to be targeted by Despero, who claims that Barry will destroy the Earth in 2031. Later, Barry enters Thawne's "Reverse-Flashpoint" timeline, where he was Flash and Barry was Reverse-Flash. With help from Damien Darhk, Barry restores the original timeline, prevents Joe's death, and spares Thawne from his erasure by removing his speed. Later, Team Flash fights Deathstorm, whose defeat comes at the cost of Frost's life, devastating her boyfriend Chillblaine. Barry also encounters Meena Dhawan, who has gained super-speed with help from a revived time remnant of Thawne. They contend with the newly-born negative counterparts of the Strength, Sage, and Still Force, who use Iris to revive Thawne in his time remnant's body, but are then defeated, with Thawne being removed from the timeline.

The ninth and final season opens with Team Flash joining forces with former enemies in order to defeat the Red Death, who is later revealed to be Ryan Wilder from an alternate Earth. Later, Rosso returns to infect the newly-recreated multiverse, but Barry stops him with help from Oliver Queen, John Diggle, and Wally West. After this, Eddie, who had been mysteriously resurrected with false memories, is chosen as the new avatar for the Negative Speed Force, becoming the speedster Cobalt Blue. Bringing Eobard, Zoom, Savitar, and Godspeed back with him, Eddie fights against Team Flash, but ultimately stands down and forms a truce with Barry. The series ends with Nora's birth, and Barry choosing Avery Ho, Max Mercury, and Jess Chambers to become new speedsters.

On July 30, 2013, it was announced that Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg, Arrow pilot director David Nutter, and DC Comics CCO Geoff Johns would develop a television series based on the Flash for The CW, and it would detail Barry Allen's origin. Kreisberg revealed after the announcement that Allen would first appear as a recurring character on Arrow in three episodes of season two—all written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns—and the last of the episodes would act as a backdoor pilot for the new show. Kreisberg added that Allen would be a forensic scientist and the introduction of his superpowers, as well as the reactions to this, will be very human and grounded. Johns stated that the character of the Flash in the show would resemble his comic book counterpart, complete with his trademark red costume, and not be a poor imitation. Kreisberg elaborated: "No sweat suits or strange code names; he will be The Flash." While researching the best way to depict the Flash's lightning speed, Johns stated it would not just be the standard "blurring around".

Barry ultimately appeared twice in Arrow{{'s}} second season, with the planned backdoor pilot cancelled in favor of a traditional pilot by The CW executives, who had been impressed by early cuts of Barry's first two episodes on Arrow. This allowed the creative team to flesh out Barry's story and his world on a bigger budget, as opposed to a backdoor pilot's constraint of incorporating characters from the parent show. The pilot was officially ordered on January 29, 2014, and was written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, and directed by Nutter. On May 8, 2014, The Flash was officially picked up as a series, with an initial order of 13 episodes. Three more scripts were ordered in September 2014 following a positive response to newly completed episodes by executives,{{Cite web |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=September 23, 2014 |title=CW's 'The Flash' & 'Jane The Virgin' Get Backup Script Orders Ahead Of Premieres |url=https://deadline.com/2014/09/the-flash-jane-the-virgin-additional-scripts-cw-838768/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140925082725/https://deadline.com/2014/09/the-flash-jane-the-virgin-additional-scripts-cw-838768/ |archive-date=September 25, 2014 |access-date=September 24, 2014 |website=Deadline Hollywood}} while a back ten was ordered the next month for a full 23-episode season.

The costume was designed by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow.

Primarily made of leather, the suit contains areas with a stretchable material to allow Gustin room to bend. According to Atwood "It was all about a costume that could sell speed, Grant [Gustin] was continually moving in the suit, so it had to be designed to make that all happen visually and functionally."{{Cite news |date=March 31, 2015 |title=How Superhero Costumes are Made |work=Fashionista |url=https://fashionista.com/2015/03/superhero-costume-design |url-status=live |access-date=September 22, 2015 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150402165807/http://fashionista.com/2015/03/superhero-costume-design |archive-date=April 2, 2015}} It initially took Gustin approximately 40 minutes to get into his costume, as the first cowl was prosthetic and had to be zipped and glued to his face. This was cut down to approximately 15 minutes by episode eight, when designers were able to develop a new cowl that easily slid over Gustin's face and locked into place. Maya Mani replaced Atwood as the costume designer for the second season and made slight changes to the Flash costume, such as changing the color of his crest from yellow to white, being faithful to the Flash costume from the comics. This same costume was used for the entirety of the third season.{{Cite news |date=September 28, 2015 |title=Costume secrets from the upcoming seasons of 'Reign,' 'The Good Wife' and more |url=https://fashionista.com/2015/09/fall-tv-costume-design-october |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181202065933/https://fashionista.com/2015/09/fall-tv-costume-design-october |archive-date=December 2, 2018 |access-date=September 29, 2015 |work=Fashionista}}

The main costume was redesigned for the fourth season. The new costume had a brighter color scheme, more gold accents throughout, gold earpieces, and lightning bolts on the arms and legs. The suit also featured a gold lightning belt. The costume was yet again redesigned for the shows fifth season, with the cowl's chinstrap and the suits' gold accents being removed.

On how action sequences are shot for the series, compared to Arrow, Gustin said, "When [Arrow] shoot[s] action sequences, pretty much what you see is what you get and they're really doing everything. We do a lot of plate shots that are empty shots of the area we're going to be in and then they're putting us in later in post. I do a lot of the fighting. I don't have to do it full speed and then they ramp it up and a lot of people have to freeze and I keep moving. Then I have to clear frame and step back into frame. It's really tedious stuff that we have to do. On theirs, they learn fight choreography and they shoot it from the perfect angles and what you see is what you get."

The sound design for the series is handled by Mark Camperell. The sound effect for Barry is made up of elements of thunder, electricity, jets, fireballs, and various custom whooshes and impacts. Speaking about designing the sound for the Flash's ability, Mark says: "My approach for the sounds of the Flash's ability was to editorially treat him like a really aggressively driven hot rod. This doesn't mean that I used car sounds for him, though. What I mean is that when thinking about how to edit his sounds, I thought about it like cutting a car chase."{{Cite web |date=October 5, 2015 |title=Sounds for Superheroes: Behind the Supersonic Sound Design for The Flash |url=https://www.asoundeffect.com/the-flash-sound-design/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151006181824/https://www.asoundeffect.com/the-flash-sound-design/ |archive-date=October 6, 2015 |access-date=October 6, 2015 |publisher=Asoundeffect.com}}
