Amell's new facebook cover image. I'm excited.

He justs so damned young, like young enough to be Ollie's little brother. I'm going to give it a fair shot, but they have some work to make me believe that kid's a police scientist (if they go the traditional Barry secret ID route).

It might be his first week on the job or he's interning or something.

Just pointing out that this was his last role. He played up every stereotype of a predatory, rapey homosexual.

And yet as a fanboy he may well be creepier here.

Really? Too young looking? On a show where first Tommy then Thea run a night club with zero experience, Laurel is some hot shot attorney, Felicity is a computer wizard, Ollie is a CEO of a gigantic company, and Summer Glau is in charge of the other half of said company? This kid is going to be the one that you just don't buy as being old/experienced enough for whatever his field is?

To be fair, he is younger than a lot of the cast. He falls into the Willa Holland range.

But he'll be fine. It was mentioned that they're going for a very dorky technician personality for Barry Allen, like a male Felicity. He'll fit that more than pretty much all the other actors they were looking at.

As for his looks, I think folks tend not to remember that the most well-known Barry Allen from that old TV show wasn't very blond either.

Do we know when he will become the Flash on the show? Because Roy Harper is supposed to be an archer with a robo arm, and I see nothing of the sort right now. Compared to the lightning speed the plot is moving forward each season, they are taking their time with Roy. I like it, but it makes me wonder how long it will take for the Flash to don a superhero costume. My only hope is the constant mentioning of the particle accelerator, so I guess it could go really fast (ha!) if the writers want it to.

Roy's also supposed to be a junkie and have a daughter with an international terrorist.

He also lost the arm in 2009 in the same story that his daughter dies. The show is never going to do it and we have no idea how they are going to do the Roy Harper story, other than there is a good chance he is going start being trained by Ollie this season.

Grant Gustin is 23, and Barry was around 23 when he started out as the Flash (in the new 52 anyway, I think he's like late 20s currently and he started out 'five years ago'). On top of that I think I read that he's just an intern when Ollie first meets him in this show and he won't become a proper police scientist/forensic scientist until a bit later so I think it checks out fine.

Tommy, Thea, Ollie and I assume Summer Glau's character all have inherited wealth so that kind of sets what they get to do with life.

I think 23 is young, and this guy looks young but then I remember at 23 I was done university for a year and 9 months and had 10 direct reports. So what do I know.

(he is wearing a Nightwing shirt, so may just be referencing that...)

"Had some superhero conversations with the executives this weekend @ARROWwriters"

Either way, based on that photo I could believe him as Grayson more than that nose guy photo that was posted earlier in this thread.

Nightwing doesn't need a hood, either, his righteous 70's popped collar blocks out any light trying to shine on his face.
