The return of The Flash on The CW last night was definitely a big positive for fans as it hit the ground running again while keeping its main opponent there in a sense, just not directly interacting. That allows the show to move towards the goals while building the larger narrative. And one of those pieces was the mention of the character Hartley Rathaway, who comics fans know as the Pied Piper. The character will be played by Andy Mientus and a new promo has been released that highlights him and gives some good clues about his character. The character is set for a two episode appearance so far.
The series stars Grant Gustin, Jesse L. Martin, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Candice Patton, Carlos Valdes and Tom Cavanagh.
Series concept: 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.
