9. Powers
In the comics, it’s the Speed Force which grants Barry Allen the power to become the Fastest Man Alive. There’s no mention of that here as it appears as if The Flash’s powers are simply a result of science rather than a type of extra-dimensional energy force. If they choose to, the team working on The Flash can always introduce that down the line, but for now it seems smart to maybe not delve into that part of the character’s backstory. Regardless, this trailer gives us a great look at how the Scarlet Speedster’s abilities will be portrayed on television as he gets used to using them, and how these develop as the series goes along promises to be very interesting. There’s more to The Flash than the ability to run fast, and hopefully the CGI budget stretches far enough to show them!
