[[WMG: Wally will have a slight AgeLift in the show]]
While still Iris' nephew, he'll likely be closer to his late teens than Wally usually is as Kid Flash, as Roy has had in Arrow. That way he can be closer to his comic self's age prior to the reboot but still young enough to be trained by Barry.

[[WMG:The Flash will get new costumes periodically]]
Because each costume suffers from wear and tear and because Cisco and Caitlin constantly improve on the design on the initial costume in order to improve on both the durability and the streamlining.

[[WMG:Wally West will appear later on]]
He's initially Iris' nephew who takes an interest in and later idolizes The Flash. However, after an accident involving a villain and electricity, he's fatally wounded until The Flash rescues him, but both get electrocuted. As a result, Wally gains The Flash's powers (as the original comic story would be too contrived to work in live action), forcing Barry to make Wally his apprentice.

Whether or not it's a case of WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity or a genuine FaceHeelTurn, she will eventually gain her own powers and fight against Barry [[spoiler:like the Slade/Oliver relationship in Arrow season 2]]. There will be one or more tear jerking moments involved.

Added two theories: Smallville and Static Shock

Added DiffLines:


[[WMG: There will be a Smallville tribute episode in which Barry Allen will meet Clark Kent]]
In Smallville, the reverse happened, with a young Superman meeting an even younger Flash. It would be poetic for them to do a parallel episode, with an older Flash meeting a new-to-the-job Superman, who is covering a news report on metahuman crime for a newspaper in Metropolis. One of them will probably lampshade this with something like "Haven't we met before in the past or something?".

[[WMG: The particle accelerator's creation of metahumans around Central City will be similar to the [[StaticShock "Big Bang"]]]]
The usage of the word "metahuman", coupled by the fact that the particle accelerator explosion looks to be the source of where the show's enemies will come from, shows clear resemblances to the series. To add to this, one of Barry's scientific allies could be none other than Virgil Hawkins, and some of the metahuman rogues he faces may be from Static's rogues gallery (Hey, if they give Batman rogues to Arrow, then why not?).

* What exactly would her powers be then?

[[WMG: The color change in Flash's costume will be lampshaded]]
He'll still get his nickname of the "scarlet speedster", only for Flash to point out "technically, it's more of a maroon". It'll still stick.

[[WMG: The show will keep the New 52 power set of The Rouges]]
We already have shots of the weather wizard having genetic powers rather than a magic stick. It's more than likely they'll keep some more of those genetic powers in the show from the particle accelerator explosion. I can already see them keeping [[ArchEnemy Captain Cold]] having freeze powers rather than a zero temperature gun as there's a comic prescedence for that.

[[WMG: Season 1 Plots]]
Guesses here for story lines in the new show.

* Barry has his first encounter with Professor Zoom.
* Barry endearing himself to the police, going the opposite direction from Series/{{Arrow}} in having Barry be a pal of the department rather than an irritation.

It's only obvious that the previous Flash actor would be cast as the GoldenAge Flash (though he doesn't have to be a speedster in this 'verse).
