In one week, Warner Bros. Pictures The Flash, directed by Andy Muschietti opens in theaters on June 16.
Ezra Miller reprises their role as Barry Allen in the DC Super Hero’s first-ever standalone feature film. Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life.

With comic book adaptations on almost every channel and streaming service, fans will meet many new characters with extensive backstories. We’re here to introduce these characters to help lessen the learning curve.
Back in its second season’s first episode, The Flash introduced the Flash. No, not Barry Allen. This character is known to comics fans as the first Flash, and his name is Jay Garrick.
Well before Barry, Wally West or anyone else donned the scarlet speedster’s jumpsuit, Jay was the fastest man alive. Created in 1940 by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert, Jay inhaled vapors that granted him superspeed. His costume was simple: blue pants, a red t-shirt with a yellow lightning bolt, and his father’s World War I helmet with wings resembling Mercury’s, the Roman God.
During the Golden Age, Jay was a part of the Justice Society of America and was a leader...

A number of new speedsters will be appearing in the highly anticipated second season of The Flash, with Jesse Quick, Wally West and Zoom all set to make their presence felt. However, one of the biggest new additions to The CW series is no doubt Teddy Sears as Jay Garrick, The Flash who hails from Earth-2.
Created in 1940 by Gardner Fox and Harry Lampert, Jay was the DC Universe’s original Flash until the company underwent one of its first major overhauls some years later and introduced Barry Allen. Since then, it’s been explained that Jay hails from an alternate universe, but he and Barry have worked together as allies on a number of occasions.

Warner Bros continues to develop a big screen adaptation of DC Comics' "The Flash", from a script by Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim ("Green Lantern"), for Berlanti to direct as a 2013 release.
Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original 'Flash' debuted in "Flash Comics" #1 (January 1940). In the origin story, 'Jay Garrick' accidentally inhaled hard water vapors that gave him super-speed, using heightened reflexes that seemed to violate all known laws of physics. He wore a winged metal helmet inspired by the Greek god Hermes (Mercury) .
'Barry Allen', the second 'Flash', was a police scientist, who gained his super-speed after being accidentally splashed by chemicals following a lightning strike.
Allen adopted "The Flash' name after reading a comic book featuring the adventures of Jay Garrick.
The third Flash, 'Wally West', formerly 'Kid Flash', gained his super-powers through an accident identical to Allen's.

Shawn Levy has stepped on board to direct Warner Bros. Pictures' The Flash, the big-screen adaptation of the DC Comics speedster hero. Levy's decision to get involved in the project is his first move since the successful release of his Night at the Museum, a $225 million boxoffice smash.
Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producing Flash. It is believed that Levy will act in a producing capacity as well.
Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original Flash first appeared in Flash Comics #1 in 1940. In comics lore, there have been four incarnations of the scarlet speedster, who has remained one of DC's most popular characters. He has ability to run and move extremely fast, use superhuman reflexes and violate certain laws of physics, like time travel.
David Goyer, who co-wrote Batman Begins for Warners, had been attached to write, direct and produce a screen adaptation. But Goyer quietly left the project several months ago, though it was not until Friday that he announced his departure on his MySpace page.
