Barry Allen's Bio
Bartholomew Henry "Barry" Allen is essentially a well-adjusted Bruce Wayne/Batman. He is a crimefighter, he does defy the laws against vigilantes, but he helps to supplement the law when it can't handle super criminals and stuff. He has a family unit that keeps him not just grounded, but happy.

Powers and Abilities
He's a decent detective, a gifted forensic scientist, so that combined with his speed based enhanced perception, he can have Accelerated Vision as a play on Detective Vision. Admittedly this is so Rocksteady can bring over some old tools from the Arkham series, but I think it makes sense in universe too.

Powers or Gadgets?
Additionally, his powers are specific enough you can do one of two things, or both. 1: Instead of gagdets, have a power move wheel: whirlwind arms, phasing mode, etc that have a number of uses and he get's "tired" and can use them until he charges up more speed force over time or whatever. 2: He can use some gadgets since he essentially only has super speed and little else for combat. 3: He could do both and have a fairly extensive power wheel, or two separate ones. I prefer both, since it allows Rocksteady again to use gadgets like Batman does, and it makes sense since the Rogues should know how to handle a speedster since that's their main enemy. He should also habe a power wheel since, unlike Batman, Barry is not a trained martial artist or fighter period, so he must rely on power based tactics when engaging rogues he expericenes for the first time, or who are in some way immune to his gadgets.
