“The Flash” Brings Old-Fashioned Heroism to the Modern TV Landscape - by Tony Rossi

Tom Hanks has long been acknowledged as a modern-day Jimmy Stewart in the film world. An argument could be made that Grant Gustin is filling that role in the TV landscape with his role as Barry Allen in “The Flash,” the CW series whose hero brings a touch of old-fashioned heroism to the modern world.

The pilot episode of “The Flash,” based on the DC Comics’ character, just earned a Christopher Award for introducing viewers to the title hero’s origin story.

From childhood, Barry has stood up for people who got picked on and, as a result, he got bullied and beat up himself. His inherent sense of compassion and justice only grew when his mother was murdered by some mysterious figure and his father was framed for the crime.
