in the new James Bond movie there is a scene near the end where Christoph Waltz basically says this to Daniel Craig, minus the time travel. It made me snicker pretty hard

Wally, though I think Barry's got the best dayjob for it.
>>
Can we agree Bart should have never been the Flash?
>>
Wally is the only Flash for me, because I love the idea of the Flash as a legacy thing he has to grow into and help define.

At least not in the way the handled it.
I'd have like to see a story set sometime in the future with Bart as Flash though.
>>
Barry for me, although I also love Jay

I'm sure Wally's great too, I just haven't gotten around to reading his good stuff yet
>>
I used to be a pretty diehard wallyfag, and v2 flash is one of the consistently best post crisis comics hands down, but the show made me go back and read some silver age flash stories, and they are pretty fucking excellent. Barry is way more of a "how do we use science!" hero, which is rad, and towards the end of his run he got some real pathos. Wally is great because as a legacy character to the dude who died to save the multiverse, he could have been a character always uncomfortable in his mentors shoes, but instead he found his own way, and really defined what the flash is.

Tl;dr ill always be a wally fag, but shit if barry isnt fucking great too.

Wally. He was a way better character than Barry ever was. Jay is cool as fuck too. Barry was more important to the DCU dead than he was alive.

Growing up on DCAU Justice League has given me perhaps an unfairly high preference to Wally.

Barry was better when he was dead.

Whichever one is the fastest.

Barry's my favourite, though I love the Flash Family as a whole and miss them terribly.
>>
>>77340930
I love the entire Flash Family so much
But I think for me it's
Barry > Wally > Jay > Bart
But they're really close and may as well be equal signs
>>
>>77340930
Barry's greatest contribution to comics was being dead.
They've ruined that now and it makes me sad.
And then they made Wally black for some reason.
I've stopped reading Flash comics now.
>>
>>77342666
Only right answer.
>>
>>77343153
>Barry's greatest contribution to comics was being dead.

His comic kick started the Silver Age, he opened the doors of the Multiverse and along with Supergirl closed the doors of the Pre-Crisis era.

He did more than just die, but yeah he's not the best Flash IMO.
>>
Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Barry in the TV show has a lot in common with Wally in the way he behaves?
>>
>>77342352
Don't really have a strong opinion on the comics because I've read more silver and golden age and the Barry I've read post the 'rebirth' isn't really the same Barry.

From what I am seeing so far, they are all generally good characters, which is a good way of defining "best" - and inhabit the heroic name of The Flash (well, except for Bart) better than any of the other heroes where we have a whole batch of 'em (insert your favorite Green/Red/Mauve/Chartreuse Lanterns here) or your generic Teen Titan, JLI, etc. members.
>>
All of you are wrong

Also wasnt there another female flash who was one of those junkies or delivery people?

They can still be bros

Hell they were on their way to being roommates until everything got ruined

If you call yourself a Flash fan, if you've read a fair amount of the comics, then I don't know how you can answer anyone except Wally when asked who the best Flash is.
>>
>>77340930
You need a better photo. Is that Barry, Wally and Jay - if so, where's Bart (since Folks are talking about him and Bart was a Flash).
>>
>>77345205

No. It's just not the same without their crotchety old man bromance.
>>
>>77344423
During the Crisis of infinite earths Catwoman was struck by red lighting, it would have been really cool that as Barry was disintegrating into nothing that she became the new Flash.

I always liked Jay's design and I knew about Barry be he died just as I was getting into comics so as far as I was concerned Wally was THE Flash.

Now Barry's back, Wally's black and Jay/Earth-2 are FUBAR and I just don't give a shit.

This.

But YJ Wally a shit, easily the worst member of the team.

Barry is the cancer that's killing cape comics. See Geoff Johns

Then you just have an issue with them being young.

Old folks can still be bros even if one is gay. Like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

I can't remember, which Flash was the one from Justice League(and Unlimited)? He was my favorite. Best writing, and the voice actor fit perfectly.

>lexFlash removes mask
>I have no idea who this is

>>77347150
The Flash in Justice League was Wally West
>>
>>77347150
Great scene considering Wally's voiceactor portrayed Luthor on Smallville.
>>
>>77340930
I've wondered this for a while, why is it almost every time Barry appears in something they give him Wally's costume design?
>>
>>77347413
Because they have the exact same outfit except for the eyes and belt, and Wally's belt looks way fucking better, and white eyes are just plain easier to draw.
>>
>>77347413
If you're talking about OP pic it's not Wally's costume, Wally had opaque white eyes

What are you talking about where Barry's appeared liking like Wally? In all the recent animated stuff he's had the right outfit
>>
>>77340930

Wally > Jay > Barry >>>>>>> Bart

Wally > Jay = Bart > Barry

By the time I got into Flash, Johns sunk his hooks in me. I'm a Barryfag all the way.
>>
>>77348703

Clearly he didn't sink them in deep enough since his greatest Flash work was his Wally stuff.
>>
>>77348703
Anon, Johns didn't want Barry to come back and outright resisted it to the point that Flash Rebirth became editorial mandate because the artist kept bugging Didio to bring Barry back.
>>
Wally, obviously. It's a fact.
>>
>>77348774
Which artist was this? Not Van Sciver, surely?

>MSG: Like with Hal Jordan, you had a critical place in the return of Barry Allen in Flash: Rebirth. What do you feel Barry brings to the DC Universe that’s unique among speedsters?

>EVS: He’s the first Silver Age DC hero. I just love Barry Allen as the Flash. I was the guy who was really pushing to bring him back. When I would be in a cab with Dan DiDio, I would talk to him about the Flash. The series was having a lot of trouble and suffered through three relaunches that failed at the time. I said, “If you’d only let us bring back Barry Allen and let us do Flash: Rebirth, I’m sure we could get that franchise back on track again.” He would reply, “Oh no. He died a hero.” But I think we wore him down after some time, and he began to think it was a good idea. And indeed it was.
