Do people think they'll let Barry tap into the Speed Force at comic book levels as he gains experience or do you think they'll keep him at bullet-time level speeds?
Obviously, as there's only been two episodes, than yes he does time to improve.
Plus they nerf al lot of the powerhouses on t.v. Look at Wonder Woman and Superman in the animated media. In JL/JLU Wonder Woman was slow as heck, and Superman failed to impress me honestly.
I think they could unleash Barry at some point. Maybe introduce Max Mercury to teach him that the Speed Force isn't about running with his muscles, Barry just has to open his mind to the possibility.
I don’t think power level is really going to even be a consideration for the writers. The show is pretty good, at least me to, I don’t think making Barry a whole lot faster and more powerful would really change much, plus, they might need extra expenses just to accommodate the special effects.
If he got to Comic speeds, we literally wouldn't be able to see him and the entire season would end under 15 seconds, and that's assuming that he stops to get a doughnut or something.

I want him to be able to run through solid objects
He'll do it, but like in one of the later episodes. And he'll never utilize it like he should.
and run up walls.
Yeah he'll probably do that a lot.
In the upcoming movies, I want him to be so fast that Superman can't hit him even with heat vision.
That's probably too much to ask lol. Or even if that's not, I doubt that they'll make Flash his obvious superior speed-wise. They'll probably make them like really close equals, which is ridiculous.
I think there's been some solid hints that they're going to do some kind of time travel on the show so hopefully they'll be willing to cut loose in other ways. It's always the challenge of giving him challenging villains once he can go faster than the speed of thought!
For the movie, he's got to be faster (and with trippy Speed Force powers) than Superman or he's pointless, right?
@malonius: there's a fine point on selling movie versions of comic characters to the average movie goer and making him pointless or overpowered isn't really going to fly to those people.
For the movies they've nerfed Superman down to rocket (?) speeds, so they can make Flash faster without making him able to run faster than time...which would make everyone else useless. Now that I think about it, they might be doing the JLU power levels for the movies.
@malonius: rocket speeds is supersonic and the latest superman movie showed zod and kal leave the earth's atmosphere in a few seconds. if flash is any faster than that, movie goers would be viewing him as overpowered because it becomes closer to light speed.
if there were more observant movie fans, then they would be expecting flash to be faster than light considering in superman returns, superman achieved light speed.
He's already casually avoiding gunfire, can move fast enough to carry a conversation with himself before anyone else in the room notices, and move them long distances before they know.
Of anything he should work on his fighting technique.
Well like they said it was him doubting himself the reason he isn't powerful yet, for example against multiple man he was fighting with peak human speed at points but when he saved the cop and the sugar incident it showed he can use his speed effectively, Im glad they have him kinda bad at the beginning beacuse how well would you do if one day you woke up from coma and had a power, it would take months even years to master. It will come good, btw I'm loving the series so far it's early days but I think they've learned from arrow beacuse arrow season 1 was very hit and miss but season 2 and 3 of arrow so far been perfect, I just wished they were gonna be used for movie version beacuse I feel arrow actor can't rembee his name lol has really got into the role and you can see he cares about the chracter,
