About "Jay Garrick's" helmet: it's certainly possible that it references an adventure where Wally West got temporarily hyperaccelerated to the point where he's a blur living in between the ticks of a second. In other words he became the Kingdom Come version of The Flash. Kingdom Come writer Mark Waid *did* identify that version as Wally, and that version did wear a silver winged helmet.

I think it could easily be confirmed that at one point yes Jay Garrick was Flash, long before Wally West was. Also it has been all but confirmed that Wally was the Kid Flash to Barry Allen’s Flash. This Barry sacrificed himself to save the universe (à la COIE), and Wally took up the mantle as a way of honoring him uncle/hero/mentor. Granted we get scenes like Wally in a lab getting struck by lightning and doused in chemicals as a young adult, but that doesn’t and shouldn’t disprove that Barry was once THE definitive Flash in the DCAU. Heck, we can even say that it was Barry that appears in Superman: TAS

I do believe that Garrick and the JSA could’ve easily existed within the DCAU but likely took on a form, similar to that of task force X.

So likely vigilantes, especially super powered ones were given a compulsory draft notices or execution orders.

My take on tie-ins has always been that unless it has been referenced or shown in the main media/production (in this case, the animated shows) then most of the tie in games and comics are non-canon and such, do not have continuity issues. Same with the Arkham games. The comics and tie-in movie are all over the place in terms of writing, characters and outright contradicting the games they're supposed to tie in to, that it's best to just ignore them.

[@andrewcozzini8259]

Nice work Mattie and WTDB! You went the extra mile (🥁) and covered all 3 DCAU Flash museums, even though two of them don't even count! You guys are nothing if not thorough. Anyways, in regards to the Kid Flash costume, I (likely in my then never-ending apologetic quest to confirm Teen Titans as part of the DCAU) had always attributed it to Wally, as a former identity. This is mainly on the basis that most of the things in this museum are an homage to Wally's Flash and that the height of the manneuqin stands about even with Wally in the present as the Flash, suggesting he possibly aged out of the role. Also, the fact that it's on display suggests that whoever wore said suit has moved on and the mantle has been retired (ala the display cases in Batman Beyond). While it is possible that their is an adult-age Bart Allen Kid Flash, now possibly Impulse, in the DCAU, it seems more likely, given JLU (tie-in comic) incorporating Jay as the first Flash that Wally took on the name KF, before being eventually given the full-on Flash mantle from Jay. It's a bit dicey, I know, and there's the statement from Dwayne McDuffie that seems to contradict the JLU issue, but there is nothing on-screen to contradict the tie-in comic's cannonicity, so I think this theory could work. Just my thoughts; what do you all think?

[@zxtreme31]

My theory on the Garrick helmet: there was a justice league episode where the heroes except Batman and Superman get “transported” to a comic book world with heroes similar to the JSA. These were actual comic book heroes in the DCAU. The show focused on Stewart’s fandom of the characters and the influence, but it’s highly possible based on wally’s character he was influenced as well. While the Jay Garrick stand-in didn’t wear the trademark helmet, instead sporting something similar to a baseball helmet, it is entirely possible that in his comics he wore that helmet as a variation to the costume

about the symbols in the flash museum: while you said the reverse flash's symbol is usually mirrored, this actually wasn't true until relatively recently, for much of his existence the reverse flash's symbol just had the inverted colors of the flash's but was in the same orientation, so it's likely that was meant to be the reverse flash's symbol on the wall

[@theleonpasta7336]

While canonically they're probably just references and not literal items in the museum (unless flash at some point wore the helmet and costume before deciding on the red one), but I like to think that if we got more JLU, Flash would've been explored more and maybe these characters would either come into existence or be explained somehow. At the very least Jay Gerrick or The Reverse Flash probably would have appeared in a theoretical 4th season since they're the most popular flash-centric things
