Thanks to the extremely positive fan reaction to Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen when he was introduced earlier this season on the CW’s highly successful superhero show Arrow, it didn’t take long for the network to officially order The Flash to series. And now that the first explosive trailer for the fall 2014-2015 spinoff has finally been unveiled, viewer expectations are higher than ever.

In the trailer, viewers see Barry Allen – a forensics investigator who fell into a coma after being hit by lighting in his most recent appearance on Arrow – has regained consciousness with unbelievable superhuman abilities. Gifted with the power of super-speed, Barry is now the Fastest Man Alive and must find a way to use this to solve a crime that haunts his past and stop superhuman villains from destroying his home in Central City.

Fans of DC Comic characters The Flash and Green Arrow have anxiously awaited details on whether or not Gustin’s Barry Allen and Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen would crossover into each other’s shows to team up like they do in the comics. The trailer shows that not only will that happen, but that we won’t have to wait very long until it does – in an exclusive interview with TVGuide.com, Amell revealed that the first crossover will take place in as early as The Flash’s pilot.

“In the Flash pilot, Barry comes to me,” said Amell. “[It’s a] little snippet in the Flash pilot where he and I share a scene together, it’s in his pilot, but [filming] it felt like our show because he’s coming to Starling City. That, to me, was one of the most rewarding things that I did as an actor because it was essentially the same crew that we used for our pilot, and it was two years later and it was the same director. It was like going back in time. [Flash and Arrow director] David Nutter asked me to be a part of the pilot and I will never say no to David Nutter.”

This won’t be the first time a live-action version of The Flash made it onto television – CBS attempted to make a Flash series back in 1990, but it was cancelled after one season.
