"To understand what I'm about to tell you, you need to do something. You need to believe the impossible. Can you do that? Good. You see that red blur? That's me. That too! There I am again. My name is Barry Allen. I am the fastest man alive. My story is pretty simple: my whole life, I have been running..."
Barry Allen[src]

The Flash is an American TV series, a modern re-imagining of the DC Comics series, The Flash. The series premiered on October 7, 2014, airing at 8 pm.

Originally, the twentieth episode of Arrow's second season, "Seeing Red", was going to act as a backdoor pilot and was it popular enough the series would be green-lit.[3] However, after executives from The CW saw "The Scientist" and "Three Ghosts", Barry's premiere episodes on Arrow, they made the call to order the series straight to pilot.[4] On May 8, 2014, The Flash was picked up to series.[5] On October 21, 2014, The Flash was green-lighted for a full season by the CW, extending from 13 episodes to 23.[6] The Flash was renewed for a second season on January 11, 2015.[7] On March 11, 2016, The CW renewed The Flash for a third season.[8] The Flash was renewed for a fourth season on January 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the series was renewed for a fifth season, which premiered in the 2018–19 season.[9] The Flash was renewed for a sixth season on January 31, 2019, which premiered during the 2019-2020 season.[10] The Flash was renewed for a seventh season on January 8, 2020.[11]

Grant Gustin portrays Barry Allen/The Flash in the eponymous lead role. The series is written by Greg Berlanti, Todd Helbing, and Geoff Johns.

Synopsis

Introduction

In Season 1, the intro features a voice-over of Barry Allen where he briefly describes the hardships that he faced in the past. Barry states that he will use his new powers to fight crime and find the one who killed his mother to bring justice for his father. In Season 2, Barry states how he must now use his powers to stop the new threats that have been brought into the world after finding his mother's murderer.

Season 3 featured two different intros. The first half sees Barry facing the ultimate consequence from when he went back in time to save his mother, which in turn created a new timeline, leaving him facing threats from that timeline who are manifesting powers in the 'real' world. The second version was introduced in "Borrowing Problems from the Future" and tells us Barry attempts to save Iris from being killed by Savitar right after he witnessed her death in the future. Season 4 mentions the new threats Team Flash have created after they brought Barry out of the Speed Force. Season 5 mentions Nora West-Allen traveling back to the past to meet Barry and the new threats created from that.

The "Blood and Truth" half of Season 6 had no intro at all. But the second half was different; it had music playing, but no dialogue given during the introduction and showed a montage of each main character and the series as a whole.

Season 1

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist. But secretly, I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me. And one day, I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash.

Season 2

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. To the outside world, I am an ordinary forensic scientist. But secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs, I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me. I hunted down the man who killed my mother. But in doing so, I opened up our world to new threats, and I am the only one fast enough to stop them. I am The Flash."

Season 3

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist. But secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs, I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me. After defeating Zoom and saving the multiverse, I ran back in time and created the alternate timeline Flashpoint. I restored the timeline to how it was, only to find things weren't as I left them. I brought new threats to our world, and I'm the only one fast enough to stop them. I am The Flash."

Midseason variant

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. To the outside world, I'm an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs, I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me. In an attempt to stop the evil speedster Savitar, I was accidentally thrust into the future, and I saw him murder the woman I love. But I won't let that happen. I'm going to do everything in my power to change the future, and I'm the only one fast enough to keep her alive. I am The Flash."

Season 4

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. To the outside world, I am an ordinary forensic scientist. But secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs, I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me. But I became lost in time. It took everything in my friends’ power to bring me back. And in doing so, our world was opened up to new threats, and I'm the only one fast enough to stop them. I am The Flash."

Season 5

"My name is Barry Allen and I am the fastest man alive. To the outside world, I am an ordinary forensic scientist. But secretly, with the help of my friends at S.T.A.R. Labs, I fight crime and find other meta-humans like me. But when my daughter came back from the future to help, she changed the present, and now our world is more dangerous than ever and I'm the only one fast enough to save it. I am the Flash."
