Barry Allen
Character » Barry Allen appears in 5048 issues.
Having discovered his mother murdered and his father blamed for the act, forensic scientist Barry Allen sought to clear his father's name and find the real killer. After being doused in chemicals and struck by lightning, Barry was granted the gift of super-speed. Now he protects his hometown of Central City as The Flash, the fastest man alive and founding member of the Justice League.
3-Minute Expert: Barry Allen
Nice! I was born in '88, three years after Barry became part of the Speed Force in CoIE. I grew up with Wally as the Flash, but Barry always remained there, in the background. Despite his long absence, I think he's one of the most-felt characters in the DCU. I'm glad a talented writer like Geoff Johns was in charge of bringing him back.
PS: Great editing on the video ;)
I was never really to fond of the Barry Allen Flash. I have gotten attatched to Wally (so to speak). I hope he has a place in the DCU.
I am glad Barry is back, his death may have been iconic the character was screwed over so much that death was all they could do for him I think he deserved better. Hopefully with his new series by Johns there will be some great stories with Barry in the future.
Great video, great editing.
I really like Barry so it's cool to get a streamlined explanation of him. I'm also glad he's back in the DCU (although I'm wishing he would stay a Blue Lantern).
These are definitely my favorites of the CV videos, other than the silly ones of course. I didn't know anyone stayed dead in comics for that long.
I think its a lil bit of some Bull$#!% that Barrys Name will be On the Movie... and Not Wallys...
n yea...
i prefer Wally...
Got too agree with the other 100% here, awesome video. I'm mainly a Batman man and very rarely venture out to other titles but I always get a taste from reading bio's on comicvine and buy some other titles. But I could never understand the Flash, there's like 5 running around. Where do I begin? What the heck's an Impulse? Why does that old man have a bowl on his head? Very nice recap!
Very cool video G-Man. Barry Allen is my favorite Flash and I am happy to see that he is back. I was born in 1985, so he's been dead almost all of my life & now I get to read comics with new stories of his adventures. Yes! @G-Man: Which Flash is you favorite?
loved it I really find it funny that so many people choose wally over Barry, Barry in my opinion is far more superior then wally although it was great seeing him evolve from the wise cracking kid to the mature hero he has become. Man I have been sleeping on these 3minute videos great info Tony!!!!

uhh this is the second one? or first? how do we search for the 3-minute expert series, or where are/will they be located on the site?
Also it would be a bonus edition of coolness if these included a short text list of important old school gems. that are important to the character, just awesome story-lines. It is convention season.
As a kid growing up in Fiji, our comics were years behind. So The Barry Allen Flash was the only Flash I knew. And I loved watching him kicking it every week in the TV show that used to air... He'll always be the true Flash to me.
Good video, but this is one character they should have left dead. Wally not only took up the mantel of the Flash but surpassed him. Bringing him back was a way to appease the old time fans who's bitching got Hal Jordan a return from the grave so why not Barry Allen. Also I suspect that the editorial staff ware among those who were fans of Allen and Jordan, another reason for their return.
I wish Barry never came back Wally and Bart are so much better than him he was dead for 30 years obviously everyone moved on to bigger better things like Wally West
Barry Allen in 3 minutes? i spent such a lot of time wiki-ing flash last semester. I saw a pic of Kid Flash there and we suddenly switch to kid flash from Barry's death without an introduction, but hey it's a site on comics, most people would have a basic idea. I remember Barry from the Jhon Wesley Shipp series
