The questions are, what will this version of Barry be like? Also, what will his costume, if any, look like?

Warner Bros has included this description of Barry which lets us know what their take will likely be:

BARRY ALLEN is a Central City assistant police forensic investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. A comic book fan boy, Barry is obsessed with the Arrow unaware that working with Oliver and Felicity to solve the crime has brought him right into the dangerous world of the vigilante.

Arrow returns for a second season on Wednesday, October 9, at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST on the CW.
