A New Hero is Here to Save the Day

It’s thought that when a hero like Batman is blessed with great power, he or she must endure loneliness and suffering as a result. The Flash(闪电侠), however, makes a fun, lightning-quick and optimistic superhero. After the wild success of TV series Arrow, a TV network launched The Flash,     1     (show) the image of this Superhero, who was only a supporting character in Arrow.

Like Spiderman, who gained the ability to make webs and climb walls after he     2     (bite)     by     a     spider, Barry Allen in The Flash was shocked into superhero-status by accident. A strike from a lightning put Allen into a nine-month unconscious state, and when he emerged, he found himself     3     (equip) with super speed.

Naturally,   Allen   slips   on   a colorful   suit   and   becomes   the   Flash,   a hero     4     extreme speed to fight super-powered bad guys. But the Flash also has other purposes, namely finding out the truth behind his mother’s death and his father’s unjust imprisonment.

In line with superhero series standards, The Flash features action and eye-popping special effects. There’s nothing terribly innovative here, but     5     we do get is a unique superhero   with   a   more   unusual personality.     6     Allen has gone through unpleasant childhood experience, in this show he grows into a superhero     7     powers include optimism. He’s got a group of scientists that not only save his life, but also provide him with emotional support and the tools necessary     8     (fight) crime.

A big surprise for me was that The Flash cast Prison Break star Wentworth Miller as a bad character, who uses a gun that     9     turn anything into ice. US shows began their entrance into the Chinese market with Friends, but Prison Break pushed interest in US TV series to a new height largely thanks to Miller’s wonderful acting. Now Miller’s back to act in The Flash.     10     is a nice surprise that this new show serves as a platform for Prison Break fans to revisit their old favorite, although this time around he’s an antagonist(反派角色).
