Grant Gustin has played The Flash since his first appearance in The CW’s Arrow in the season two episode, “The Scientist”, which aired back in 2013. This appearance eventually spun-off into his own standalone series The Flash, which finds Grant Gustin and the rest of the cast and crew bringing some of the most iconic stories of the fan-favorite DC Comics hero to life, including heavy influence from the New 52 version of the iconic character, of which Grant Gustin focused primarily on in preparation for the role.
Through storylines and imagery, Grant Gustin’s The Flash has payed homage to the New 52, which was DC’s relaunch of its entire line of monthly comics following the popular Flashpoint story’s conclusion in 2011. Grant Gustin has become beloved by fans of the character, and many artists have imagined him donning the suit as seen from different eras, particularly the New 52. In this piece of artwork from digital artist Christ Ave, you can see Grant Gustin wearing an awesome take on the suit as seen in the New 52.

Grant Gustin became a huge star thanks to The Flash television series. After Stephen Amell’s success on Arrow, Grant Gustin’s The Flash became even more popular and went on to become the biggest DC Comics series at The CW. Arrow and The Flash effectively gave way to other superhero shows on The CW like DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow and Supergirl. With The CW announcing that the next season of Arrow will be its last, Grant Gustin will seemingly lead the Arrowverse after the Stephen Amell series ends.
The series stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison “Sherloque” Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen, and Chris Klein as Cicada.
The Flash is expected to return for its sixth season this October. Season 6 will also lead us into the next Arrowverse crossover event, Crisis On Infinite Earths.
