Joel,
No...but considering they've made him younger than most of his previous incarnations, it's not THAT weird.
I mean would we say the same thing if it was Wally or Bart?
It's not just that Barry's younger. He came across as a socially insecure outcast I thought, definitely more geeky than I've ever seen the Flash anywhere else (not that I'm a huge Flash scholar, I've only seen him in TV and animated stuff, never read his comics). The Barry Allen(s) I'm familiar with are always much more friendly and outgoing rather than hiding in a geek science lab cave.

Joel,
You're not wrong about this being different from previous version of Barry Allen. However, I think the fact that a) he's been taken into modern century and b) made young, alters him from being a science guy that has a pretty outgoing personality versus this current one is a reflection of the times they are changing.

I'll agree with him being younger making some changes more understandable, but don't think bringing him into the modern century would make him less social. If anything, it's an outdated stereotype that Hollywood is perpetuating here, when instead, the reality is that it's far easier and more common now for a tech geek to be socially outgoing and personable than it was 40-60 years ago.

Joel,
Yes but this is WB. It's not exactly as progressive as Marvel is.
And that's my point. And why I have no interest in the DC movies. WB TV seems to be doing just fine...so there are pockets of hope. (Maybe the Legends of Tomorrow could change history to have WB movies be good?)

I hope it is good and does well. I would love to see Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern(any but Guy Gardner), Hawk Girl(alien version), etc.
Heck I would like to see the Wonder Twins.
I just hope that we will finally see movies for the Teen Titans, Young Justice, Supergirl, The Question, Warlord, Amethyst Princess of Gemworld, etc.
