Synopsis:

Welcome to the THIRD installment of ARROWVERSE BEGINNINGS! AB are not season arc movies. They are more like Expanded Pilots. Exploring our hero's debut in greater depth and detail than the original 42 minute episode could ever allow. It is not a full origin or even the full story... it is the Beginning of a Legend! A flash of lightning and Barry Allen is transformed in the Fastest Man Alive! Watch as the Scarlet Speedster learns to become Central City's greatest hero while battling the rogues Weather Wizard and Captain Cold! The original 42 minute pilot expanded into a 94 minute adventure.

Intentions:

I love the Arrowverse. For me, despite it's many limitations, hurdles and roadblocks, it is still the best live action adaptation of the DC Universe to date. And since I love it so much, I want to play in it and create stories that highlights the joys, wonders and strengths of this amazing era of television super heroics.
