Earlier this morning The CW unveiled its plans to develop a Flash television series. In fact, CW president Mark Pedowitz was on-hand at today's TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour where he confirmed that The Flash is actively being developed, saying that Dr. Barry Allen will be introduced as a recurring character in Arrow: Season 2 and that they're "planning an origin story" for the character.

The network's plans of course raised questions about rumors that Warner Bros. was planning to develop a Flash movie leading into the oft-discussed Justice League film which many speculate will follow the studio's announced Superman/Batman movie.When asked if there were any conflicts with the DC cinematic universe, Pedowitz said, "Not that I'm aware of, I've spoken to Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment, and we're good to go. There are no conflicts in any way, shape, or form."Of course a natural theory is that Warner Bros. is planning to have some continuity between their television and film universes, as Marvel has indicated will happen with S.H.I.E.L.D.. When asked if there may be some crossover, Pedowitz responded, "We haven't had those discussions yet. That probably could happen, but they may exist in separate universes. We don't know yet."As to whether we may see another live-action Superman or Batman on television, Pedowitz said, "I have to listen to Warner Bros., and what they want to do with those characters." Though he did stress that CW is very interested in developing more DC characters.Which brings us to the continuing question of "what is happening with Diana Prince?" It seems possible that the planned Flash series would indicate that the Wonder Woman series that had been in development, Amazon , has been shelved on a more permanent basis."Amazon is on pause right now," Pedowitz said. "The script isn't where we want it. It's an iconic DC character and we're not going to put it on unless it works. And now having the DC universe, the origins of Black Canary coming on this year, as well as the potential origins of The Flash, it's better to wait and get it right."We will keep you updated as details emerge.
