Welcome to the Legion!

The FlashToday we have a new clip from The Flash (which we’ll be recapping for you each week) called ‘City of Heroes.’ Fans will note that this was also the name of the Season 2 premiere of Arrow.

After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.

Check it out below and let us know if you’ll be watching. Anyone recognize that news reporter? The Flash will premiere Tuesday, October 7 on The CW.
