In the comics, Bart Allen is Barry Allen's grandson. It's not as easy as that, though, like everything else in comics it's very convoluted.
After Barry Allen's trial for killing the Reverse-Flash and before his death in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Barry was able to spend a few weeks or months in the 30th Century with his wife Iris Allen on a far-future honeymoon/vacation before he was drawn back to the 20th Century to meet his destiny.
He left Iris pregnant and she had twins, a boy and a girl, who grew up to be the super-speedsters called the Tornado Twins. They both died young as well, but not before leaving behind children of their own. One is named XS and became a member of the Legion of Super Heroes.
The other one was named Bart Allen, but he was born with an accelerated metabolism that aged him rapidly. In order to offset the effect, he was raised in a virtual reality "bubble" that gave him experiences to match his rapid aging. Unfortunately, the only programs they had available on such short notice were video games and Bart grew up believing that reality was a video game.
Eventually, his aging was normalized and he was sent back to the past to be with his cousin, the curent Flash, Wally West. In our time, Bart took the super-hero name Impulse, which was also a synonym for his outlook. Bart was the definition of ADD and used his superspeed to do and experience as many things as possible almost simultaneously. He was immature, irreverent and naive . . . but also an Allen and a hero at heart.
Recently, he has become more serious after experiencing personal tragedies and being seriously wounded by Deathstroke. He has become more serious and has taken the name Kid Flash in honor of his grandfather and his acceptance of the fact that he will one day be the Flash.

Noticed James Marsters as the professor. Is he also a vampire in this show or something?

James is not a Vampire in this show, but he was a Vampire in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So, having him say there is no such thing as Vampires is kinda funny. Like X-files did with Robert Patrick saying there is no such thing as a metal man, giving that he played the part of the T-1000 in Terminator 2.

Ok, gotcha....I knew who he was as soon as I saw him on the show....I was like "hey, it's Spike!", then my fiance noticed.
I missed probably the first 15-20 minutes of the episode, so I only came into it when the device went off in the lake and all the fish started floating to the surface. Consequently, I missed seeing the professor at the start.
