Who Will be The Flash of the DCU?

[@jaehurd3524]

Wally is absolutely my favorite Flash, but I'd like us to start with Barry in a movie with himself and then transition to Wally in a sequel

[@Ddash97865]

As a Barry fan, I must admit it is Wally's time in the spotlight. Wally has so much potential in this universe, and considering that Dick Grayson is probably Nightwing at this point in time, it makes sense for Wally to be the Flash. Great video!

Great video. Personally I think Barry should start out as the main Flash of the DCU for a while. Mostly because of the general audience. Most people know Barry as being The Flash, so it would be weird for them to see his sidekick become the main flash at the start. However, we could still make Wally The Flash along side Barry, giving him a story where he is growing out of the Kid Flash role, and being partners with Barry instead of a sidekick. Also in 2:23 Wallace is now called Ace West

[@trevturp6891]

They should simply pull a Nightwing and give Wally West a new superhero name. That way, both Barry Allen and Wally West can co exist in The DCU.

Then Wally could shine as the Flash in his own movies or something and have Barry be on the league and help him as a mentor. Or maybe he looses his powers later or something? I don’t know I’d just love to see them together rather than kill Barry off. Great Vid!

I think you're doing an excellent job, young man. My first ever job was working at a comic book store in 1988. I definitely have the Flash #1 from 1990. I need to revisit it.

[@MandatoryFruit]

I would argue we haven't had enough Barry. He hasn't gotten a proper adaptation yet. Just like Wally. Who has been the main Flash in the comics for years btw.

[@kingblackthorn4195]

@@MandatoryFruit This is not true. Wally was erased in the New 52 and near the end of Prime Earth (Pre-New 52) Barry came back and was the one that was the center focus again leading into Flashpoint. Furthermore, when Rebirth occured, Wally came back but on the titans run and Barry was once again the main flash in the flash run and JL. Only recently has Wally came back as the main flash with Dawn of DC when he took over the main run and took over in the Titans again. Even further, Barry was the center focus for the Flash show, which while it did fall off, its early seasons are a good adaptation of Barry as a character. We also had The Flash movie, which if you can look past the CGI, and casting, story wise it is a solid Barry Allen story. Actual Wally West has not had an on screen debut, and furthermore he is a far more popular flash within comic fandoms.

[@MandatoryFruit]

@@kingblackthorn4195 So Wally: Was the main Flash for 25 years. During that time he had some of the most highly acclaimed Flash stories both in the comics and cartoons. He went missing for 5 or 6 give or take. Came back, does his stuff for a few years with the Titans (plus his awesome miniseries where he literally gains the powers of Dr. Manhattan), before once again being made the main Flash. Meanwhile, Barry: Comes back after being dead for 25 years, gets two really good miniseries from Geoff Johns, and one solid run from Joshua Williamson. He also has two good seasons of a TV show (and even that misses out on some of the best parts of Barry's character). Other than that, what does he have? Seasons 3 to 9 of the CW Flash range from mediocre to unwatchable. His movie is NOT good. It has a few good scenes, but it does no justice to Barry as a character whatsoever. He acts more like Wally than he does Barry. I'm not saying Wally doesn't deserve to shine in the DCU. He ABSOLUTELY does. But imo, Barry has yet to actually get a proper faithful adaptation in live action. Which you can argue is better than not getting one at all, but it sucks not seeing your favorite hero being done the justice that he should. Plus, Reverse Flash is Barry's villain, and it will be a colossal miss not to have the two of them go at it on the big screen. And Wally's whole character (initially) revolves around Barry. We need to see that relationship develop. It will be so much more satisfying to see Wally come into his own after having the torch passed down to him from Barry. You get me? There's no reason DC can't cater to fans of both characters.

[@RespecablPanda]

I wonder if there's a way to write it so we follow Wally's story at first, watch him get powers, tackle some smaller problems. But then part way through the movie we hear Barry call out to Wally through the Speed Force.

If Michael's already Mr. Terrific, then Wally would logically already be Flash and they can depict Barry the way they're depicting Hal and John's GL time, as a curiosity of the past. We're not doing another origin mess, we're starting in media res...plus maybe we get to learn that this isn't the first iteration of the league but the fourth after that whole JL: Detroit thing backfired for the same reasons why JLI did: the absolute ignorance and disrespect of anyone not wearing the S or =W= on their chest as a respected leader even though Aquaman, Green Lantern (Hal and John both) and Martian Manhunter are actually good leaders, Batman is 50/50 on it...with his family he's good, but with the league...he needs to learn to loosen up and have fun on the job, just because it's a job that he must take seriously...it doesn't mean he has to be so serious all the time...I mean I get being serious in Gotham, but he should be having fun with the league since "it's not the same type of jokers he usually deals with" and would be his version of a soda break. That seems to be the general attitude of the DCU's denizens too...if anything happens to Superman for real, Wonder Woman becomes public eye...and most likely Hal after that since Diana, Clark and Hal have always been confirmed as the most powerful members of the league...since Hal's a walking Power of Courage Battery, Clark's a Solar Panel and Diana's a golem who can balance being a solar panel and technopath...at the same time.

Wally can take over eventually. But I would rather see him spend time as Kid Flash first.

You're not wrong, Geoff Johns was killing it in the early 2000s. Sadly, he destroyed DC comics forever with Flashpoint and the New 52. Also, Geoff Johns started using a ghost writer after Flashpoint.

Nick actually Ezra goes by "they" but regardless they were a shitty flash lol, but you are also right about Gen Z liking Barry Allen, my brother is Gen Z and because of the flash show, flash is his favorite super hero, I really think like how aaron pierres jon stewart is most likely gonna be the main Green Lantern, I feel like they should do similar with Barry, hes the flash then after he some time he does a heros arc then leads to Wally becoming the main flash, win win.

[@NickHippo13]

Exactly, fans of both characters win. And thanks for the correction, I wouldn’t do that on purpose, I record these off the top of my head.

[@GaranSOI]

Time for Jay Garrick flash 😂

[@goopman1347]

To be honest I'm really mixed on the mixtures of comic stuff and the established universe I love the idea of exploring these characters in that way but I feel like we might miss out on some valuable origin story stuff specifically hal Jordan I love Kyle Rayner and guy Gardner and John Stewart but jesus hal has never really been given good adaptations

[@ZAYA.21]

Barry Allen should be The Flash nobody else. (I guess Jay Garrick can also be the Flash)

[@juanloaiza9975]

the murder in the GL show should be Barry Allen and at the end he gets resurrected as the first black Lantern

[@christianwilliams3441]

We probably won’t see him for quite some time since his movie is still so new there probably gonna treat him like green lantern movie flopped one time never made another one or he’s essentially probably gonna be like the hulk just showing up in team up movies. Maybe tv show but the cw show already told so many of his most important and popular stories what else is it to tell

[@NickHippo13]

yeah, I saw some rumors (that definitely could be fake) that the flash might make his debut in animation in the DCU. I agree, it's unfortunately probably a property that WB doesn't want to revisit anytime soon because of how badly it flopped.

[@christianwilliams3441]

@ yeah I was literally thinking the same thing most likely animated tv series which could be cool

[@biguy617]

Patrick J Adams or Lucas Till are the best choices

[@nickjames9379]

Barry will be main flash remember there a teen titans movie so wally will be part of that team

[@NickHippo13]

Titans movie could just be the rebirth team tho since Damian was introduced

[@TheGuyWhoEditz147]

Who are you gonna cast for barry and wally

[@NickHippo13]

Honestly, not much of a fancaster. I usually wait until the role is picked and decide whether I think it’s good or bad.

[@TheGuyWhoEditz147]

@@NickHippo13 oh cmon just say who u would prefer

[@garrisonmoss]

This is my opinion. I wholeheartedly stand by Wally, I love him and his runs, however I grew up with Barry, and the flash show, along with his comics. As probably one of the biggest flash fans you'll find I have to say that Barry is the definitive flash, and is the better character and flash, with better villain's, stories, and is better as a whole. As a huge flash fan I love both regardless, but Barry is just the better character, and who I think undoubtedly should be the main flash. Not saying wally shouldn't be in the new DCU, I just think that Barry should have a proper story first. According to google, other internet sources, and DC themselves while everyone likes wally, factually Barry is the most popular flash, and character to dawn the mantle. I love Mark Waid's run, however my favorites are Joshua Williamsons Barry run, Geoff John's Barry run, along with others. Factually Barry has the most popular stories like flashpoint. I feel most of the flash fan community prefer Barry as the flash, and people born, and read comics during the 2000s prefer Wally.

[@Kalel2.0]

Actually it's the exact opposite most hardcore comic fans prefer Wally(Love the guy to death) and tend to dunk on Barry and Wally has the better consistent stories and development and that's coming from the Biggest Barry fanboy I will say hes the most well known and popular with general audiences and while he has great stories they arent as consistent compared to Wallys

[@garrisonmoss]

@ not really

[@trevturp6891]

Facts, Barry Allen should be The Flash of The DCU. They should pull a Nightwing and give Wally West a new superhero name. That way, both Barry Allen and Wally West can co exist in The DCU.

[@vishnucs33]

Why not Both. There is Already 3 Green Lantern in DCU so Both Barry and Wally can both be The Flash in DCU

[@T3aseW1thease]

Read The Flash Rebirth (the Original one not the New 52 one) its probably the best Barry Allen Comic and the second Best Flash Series Besides Waid's Run

[@NickHippo13]

I’ve never check out rebirth flash! Thanks for the rec!

[@catdog12204]

Wally is also the fastest flash

[@MKL3165]

Take the plan George miller had for the flash with barry and wally and bingo. Have barry go out like a g to save the day against brainiac lex Luthor or whoever. Have wally come in as he comes to try to stop Barry from sacrificing himself. But barry while both in the speed force tells him its his turn and boom. Wally at one point in time was the popular flash in a animated series. Before the flash show came out.

[@NickHippo13]

that Justice League mortal script is awesome, I read it a couple years ago. Wish we got to see what that movie would've looked like.

[@MKL3165]

@@NickHippo13 hell yes u already know where I'm headed with this lol. Tbh James Gunn should use the best parts for the justice league or flash solo film.

[@MKL3165]

​​@@NickHippo13I'm also writing a FANMADE Batman DCU idea. The script isn't done yet. I do it for fun. I could copy and paste the idea. It's pretty dope tbh. Terry McGinnis goes to the past where it is the present for the DCU heroes. He goes back to save batman and help him get on the right track after Jason's def. Joker is in acoma and thanks to him stealing bombs and tech from argus and almost blowing up Gotham. It is under the protection of not just gcpd but also argus agents who are corrupted. I always wanted to see a high tech James Bond like Batman go against military soldiers and face one tough one that gives him a challenge. Terry informs him things will get worse if he does not save his son Damian. Terry goes under another name as undercover argus agent. His disguise til of course Batman figures it out at the end. White ghost would be the main villain the son of ras after his death took over and talia is second in command. They orchestrated Jason's death by helping the joker to get back at Batman for Ras'death. They are acting as Amanda waller in a simulation in disguise to not only trick the batman. But also take over Gotham while he is gone to save his son and Jim Gordon who is held hostage. Batman with the help of the batman family unite to stop this threat and ultimately save the day. Terry who is time traveling thanks to an older wally in the future and booster gold. Ends up showing Bruce something else in the end. A huge Easter egg leading to the big justice league bad. That's what I have so far.

One thing I have to disagree with you about is that wally has better flash comics, your opinion on that is very subjective, and yes wally's runs are great, but I have to confidently say Barry has the better comics.

[@NickHippo13]

Yeah that’s fair I definitely should not have worded it like that in hindsight. What’s your favorite flash run?

[@garrisonmoss]

@@NickHippo13 I don't really have favorites since I like them all. However if I had to pick, I love Geoff John's new 52 run, and Joshua Williamson's run as well as rebirth by Geoff Johns.

[@UniverseChronology]

@@garrisonmoss Small correction, Geoff Johns didn't write Flash in the New 52, you're likely referring to his run with Barry that started just prior to the New 52 in 2010.
