The Flash

Directors: Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg

Barry Allen was struck by lightning infused with unknown matter from a science experiment gone wrong. Put in a coma for months, he emerged with super speed and a heroic attitude. With the help of his friends and Star Labs, Barry becomes The Flash. The Flash now protects Central City from dangerous metahumans and other wrongdoers who threaten the lives of citizens.

I really enjoy watching this show for manny reasons. The plot is full of action and it is really interesting seeing super powered battles between The Flash and villains. I've been following the show since it started and am very impressed with how it is progressing. I recommend it to anyone interested in a good, yet lighthearted superhero show. It is easily 5 stars!

Arrow

Director:Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg, and Greg Berlanti

Oliver Queen was an ill mannered teen and the son of a wealthy business owner in his early life. However, all of that changed when his dad died and he was stuck on a remote island for 5 years. As he struggled to survive on the land, he obtained a bow and arrow and began to train with it in order to survive. When he returned to his city, he vowed to save it from crime and corruption and has been fighting as the Green Arrow ever since.

I would give this show 5 stars. The show itself tells how a person can rise up against the odds to support the greater good. The show also shows numerous forms of combat in its fighting scenes which is really intense and interesting. It is more on the darker, more serious side, but uses this perspective to show how one man can make a difference even in the worst of situations.
