Arrow creators have their Flash.

Grant Gustin, who played the devious Sebastian on FOX’s Glee, will don the lightning bolts when the Flash to the Arrow-verse on the eighth episode of the upcoming season.

Gustin beat out two other rumored contenders, Matthew Barr and James MacKay, for the coveted role, which is planned to have its own stand alone series after launching on Arrow.

Like Ben Affleck, Gustin wasn’t on my short or long list, but hey, I loved his Sebastian on Glee. He’s got the look even if he seems a tad young for the part. I don’t think a 23-year-old Barry Allen would even have a Masters Degree, let alone a PhD, but hey, it’s the CW. Once you get above 35, the only role for you on that network is a parent.
