Idk who Eric Wallace is but I agree on Ezra, he was never a good casting choice for the Flash (any of the flashes) in the first place

Facts

Agreed

Exactly

Sup

Didn’t expect to see you here lol

Lucas till for the DCU version of the flash

I agree and we should definitely have Barry Allen and wally west in the dcu

​@@ahmadmohammed4212 Lucas Till if they keep the focus on Barry and George MacKay if they decided to go with Wally.

But they won’t so I say boycott Flash movies until they do

Replace with Lucas Till

I'm gonna agree

No, Barry Allen should remain in the spotlight as The Flash. Wally West should just his own superhero codename. That way we can get the best of both worlds and everyone will get what they want.

id rather they just do the jlu route and just say wallys the flash and always has been

Imagine him and Jay Garrick showing up for a No way home style film but just with time travel

@@Haiden.Ambrose Barry canonically was the flash before Wally in that universe he was in the canon comics and was going to appear in the show and what JLU did only worked due to them keeping Wally far less developed than every other character on the show and they were only able to do that because it’s a team up show so Wally wasn’t the main focus. Taking the JLU approach would me no solo movies for Wally, limited rolls in team up movies to prevent heavy character development and erasing his time has kid flash, his idolisation of Barry and his reaction to Barry’s death and legacy which are all MASSIVE parts of who Wally is. If we don’t see him as kid flash, see Barry, learn why Wally idolises him so much and see Barry’s death then we 1. Have 0 reason to care and 2. The Wally we get will just be a poorly done husk if the loved character

@@markjohnstone413 JL The Animated Series also did what JLU did with Wally West's character.

@@markjohnstone413 What both JL and JLU did didn't work at all and that is a flaw that both those shows have. What those shows did was a huge mistake, but those shows are still good though.

Or better yet, don't have Wally West be The Flash as a Passing to the Torch. Just keep Barry Allen as the main Flash in this new dc universe and have Wally West get a superhero codename of his own.

@@trevturp6891 nope

​@@blixyy7072 yes it's better that way

Do you really think Flash fabs would wait that long before Wally takes the mantle? Look how long they had to wait before Wally took the damn mantle back from Barry after HIC

Or better yet, keep Barry Allen as the main flash of this new dc universe and have Wally West get a new superhero codename. And don't have Wally West take up the mantle in their phase 2/3 and if they do need to have someone take the mantle of The Flash (which I hope they don't, because I don't Barry Allen to be replaced as The Flash), then it shouldn't be Wally West, Impulse, or any of the other members in The Flash Family, have it be an original character or a new character that gets created one day in the comics.

​@@zemox2534 me personally, I would wait. I love both Barry and Wally. But I don't speak for everyone.

@@trevturp6891 nope

@@blixyy7072 Yes

No, Barry Allen should remain the main Flash and Wally West should get a new superhero codename.

He shouldn't be the main flash of the new DCU, if that does happen, it should only be temporarily. Wally West should get his own superhero codename and Barry Allen should be the main flash of this new DCU.

his rebirth suit would be great if it had a full cowl than the head cut. the head cut just gives too much kid flash vibes

@@talentroller4413 Impulse and Avery Ho have their head out and I don't see anyone saying anything about that.

@@Velocity_YT because that was the design they always had and they are kids. wally started off as kid flash and isn’t a kid anymore and literally wore the main flash costume for 25 years before the new 52 happened. him having that look still gives 50% kid flash vibes and he’s well and truly grown out of that role

@@talentroller4413 I'm pretty sure Avery Ho is an adult.

@@Velocity_YT really looks like a kid to me and all i can see is she’s a student but don’t know how old

Wally West still deserves a movie of his own and he needs to stop being Kid Flash at some point in this new dc universe, so they should have Wally West get a new superhero codename for himself. That way he can finally become his own man and get his own series of movies.

​@@trevturp6891 No Wally is the Flash, cope, and by your own retarded logic Barry should change his name too because he is the second flash, Jay garrick is the First .

@@trevturp6891 nope

We could just have two of them co-exist

@@jxlennn That would be a really bad idea and it just wouldn't work at all. But we can have one of them have their own codename though and hopefully we will get that.

​@@trevturp6891 It worked in Rebirth

Both

Imo if we’re late into the universe, like Damian is robin, Wally should be flash. None of the og teen titans should be sixekicks anymore. Neither should the impulse, superboy, Tim Drake, cassandra sandsmark, generation. We’re on the Jon Kent, Yara Flor, ace west generation

Which, personally, if I were James Gunn, I would focus on the second sidekick generation. Tim Drake is robin, etc, ect

Wally

I have a better idea. Keep Barry Allen as the main flash of this new dc universe and have Wally West get a new superhero codename.

@@trevturp6891 nope

Wally West shouldn't become The Flash in this new dc universe, unless it is temporarily, he should get his own codename .

@@trevturp6891 That’s what I mean, I only want him to become Flash temporarily with Barry getting his mantle back. Then Wally getting a new suit just like in Rebirth with a new name like you said (two people going by The Flash is too confusing).

@@akilbrazier1421 Agreed

@@akilbrazier1421 Exactly

@@akilbrazier1421 Facts

And Camila Mendes as Linda Park 👀

@@angels8920 I never thought about that but yes that does work very well

My problem with this is that Dick is likely already Nightwing by the time the universe starts. Dick and Wally are close friends in the Comics and I feel like that needs to carry over to the DCU.

@@oldchannel3659 agreed if it was up to me I would’ve made dick be robin by the times the first Batman movie comes out instead of robin being Damian wayne but still I really want both flashes to appear in the dcu

@@yeetboi5478 I would also like both Flashes to appear in the DCU, it's just gonna be really hard to work out the timeline of that to keep the relationships intact. Wally West still being Kid Flash as an adult doesn't really make sense, the Arrowverse was weird with that and Young Justice made a remark about that exact thing. Wally West also being The Flash alongside Barry feels clunky to me, it felt that way during Rebirth but less so because Wally WAS The Flash before Flashpoint so it makes sense that he would continue to be the Flash after he's saved by Barry remembering him. The best idea I've seen comes from Earth-27 where Wally becomes Impulse as an adult since that name isn't necessarily a name only a kid character could have. In the Earth-27, it basically goes Barry is the Flash, Wally is Impulse, Bart is Kid Flash bit one day Wally will be The Flash and Bart will be Impulse with whoever is next being Kid Flash. I think this could work but I feel it would still feel off. I think the way to fix this is to remember that the DCU is going to be more than movies and the non-film or live action show stuff doesn't necessarily NEED to be in the same time as release. So, we could get canon animated content in the DCU that could be prequels and we could see Barry's journey in maybe a mini-series or an animated short but I'm just spitballing at this point.

@@oldchannel3659 love that idea, easily the best I’ve seen considering what little we have to go of off with the new dcu

Facts

And they should get Wally West a new superhero codename.

@@trevturp6891 facts

I take that back, they should introduce Wally West right away, that's what they're doing with Nightwing, Troia, Tempest, and Roy Harper. And they should also give Wally West his own superhero codename.

@@ishaanbhattacharya9405 Thank You!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Grant could have lied

Y’all gotta get off grants meat bruh. He doesn’t even look like the character and people want a comic accurate Flash. Grant already been the flash for almost a decade

@@jxlennn It's just an idea and I am not suggesting that he plays DCU Barry Allen. Sure maybe whoever he plays could be called Barry but not Barry Allen.

@@jxlennn he plays the character well though although he doesn’t look like Barry Allen from the comics

@@fizzgojii8192 he actually doesnt, he's just the only decent one we have because all the other adaptations of barry allen suck

For a lot of the general audience Barry Allen is the definitive and most recognizable Flash especially younger fans and I love Wally but his backstory entirely depends on Barry's time as The Flash and Wally did take a couple of Barry's traits and vice versa.

I agree. Maybe he could get the red and silver suit but he doesn’t need to take over the mantle, we could just have them both coexist

Facts

Agreed

Exactly

They should just keep Barry Allen as the main flash of this new dc universe and have Wally West get a new superhero codename.

That's not going to happen. Barry Allen will be The Flash of this new DCU and Wally West is going to get his own superhero name.

He doesn’t even act or portray like Barry Allen at all lol

Grant gusting ain’t blond either

@@jaxamus13 true but he did pitch the idea to dye his hair blonde but the show runner denied . Grant Atleast acts as Barry well tho

No

He voiced the Flash and that Wally not Barry. He did Barry once and felt more like Wally pretending to be Barry.

Bro he’s 50

Hell no

He was an excellent Lex Luthor, the guy from MoS was awful

Barry should get a new name as well. "Flash" belongs to Jay Garrick, he was first so the name is his property that Barry stole.

Agree completely

Yeah. Summary: Iris introduced Wally to Barry who learned that Wally was a HUGE fan of the Flash so he "arranged" for Wally to meet the Flash and when Wally asked how Flash got his powers, so Flash told him about the chemical and lightning as well as arranging the chemical shelf to how it was when he got his powers and suddenly there was a bolt of lightning.

I think Grant shouldn’t play Flash anymore as he had a min season to show for almost ten years and he deserves a rest

@@l8studios_ he does and that’s why I have other options but if he was up to it it would be cool to see him on the big screen as flash. Especially since he’s around the age they said they’re looking for Batman and Superman to be

He became Kid Flash because he was struck by the same type of lightning that struck Barry. Wally did it on purpose. He was a Flash fanboy and wanted to have the same powers. If you mean how he became Flash. Barry Allen died in Crisis On Infinite Earths, and Wally became his successor. Read Flash Vol. 2 (1987-2009). Some of the most important, most popular, and the best things about The Flas (in general, not just Wally) originate in this volume.

@@sorin-3510 thank you for this 🙏👍

You can also read "Flash: Born to Run"

@@jxlennn yup :)

Wally West does deserve his own movie and he also deserves his own superhero codename.

He only created the speed force retroactively, it was in Wally West's run that the speed force as a concept was created.

creation of speedofrce is no longer canon. he’s a conduit like everyone else now

No, they just have to bring Barry Allen as the main Flash and give Wally West his own codename.

@@trevturp6891 codename of what? Wally West The Ragdoll of Zoom?🤣🔥

If that's true why is Wally the headliner of the comic series again?

How about BARRY change his codename after all he stole it from Jay!

What he means by Barry had his chance is that Barry was literally the main Flash of almost every adaptation of the character in past 2 decades. Let someone else be the Flash for a change, especially since almost every adaptation of Barry is literally just taking Wally's entire personality

No, Barry Allen should remain the main flash, and Wally West should get his own superhero codename.

@@trevturp6891 nah. Wally is a better flash than Barry could ever be. Also Barry is not as interesting. Don’t believe me? Then why is it that both of Grant Gustin and Ezra Miller’s versions of Barry take heavily from Wally West as Flash over Barry Allen? The concept of the “speed force” didn’t even exist until Wally was flash.

@@wesstewart2677 No, Barry Allen should remain the main flash, and Wally West should get his own superhero codename.

They shouldn't make Wally West The Flash, unless it's temporarily and Wally West shouldn't continue the legacy.

Or kill Ezra in Flashpoint and have that be the explanation for Wally

The answer to that question is extremely obvious, but I'll answer it. The reason we can't just have two flashes co-exist is, because it's incredibly dumb and it doesn't make any bloody sense. The idea of superheroes sharing a mantle is super stupid and it doesn't any bloody sense, it's also extremely lazy and extremely unnecessary, it's super bankrupt, it's terrible writing, and it's in fact one of the worst writings of all time. It wouldn't make any logical sense for the both of them to share the mantle. And it's also super unnecessary. The people that work on The Flash comics are unfortunately trying to pull this lazy, bankrupt nonsense off in The Flash comics and they've unfortunately tried to pull it off in the past too, but they've failed miserably and are failing miserably right now and will continue to fail miserably at trying to pull this stupid idea off, because it's simply a dumb idea and it's extremely mind baffling that they are trying to pull it off, because of how dumb it is and the fact that they are trying to pull it off is extremely dumb. If the people that work on the MCU tried to pull stupid thing off, they would fail miserably, simply because it's extremely stupid, it's extremely unnecessary, and it doesn't make any bloody sense. Ultimate Spiderman has it's problems, but at least it didn't make the same stupid mistake with Spiderman and Miles Morales. Tell me this, why is Wally West still The Flash, despite the fact that Barry Allen is back and does it make any logical sense? It made since, when Barry wasn't around, but now that he's back, why does Wally West still need to be The Flash?

We can't have two flashes co-exist, we shouldn't have two flashes co-exist, and we deserve way better than that and the same goes for Barry and Wally.

​@@trevturp6891 "Why is Wally West still The Flash?" Why do you keep asking that? I already answered your question. Because the most important, popular, and loved things about The Flash come from Wally. Barry was The Flash, and people found him boring. Wally was the Flash, and people loved (and still love) him. So, why is Barry still the Flash?

@@sorin-3510 DC decided to bring him back and have him be the main flash.

@@sorin-3510 You didn't answer my question. I asked why is Wally West still The Flash, despite the fact that Barry Allen is back and does it make any logical sense?

The typical 90s cheese?

Maybe he gets lost in the speed force again for another 20 years

Barry should get a new name as well. "Flash" belongs to Jay Garrick, he was first so the name is his property that Barry stole.

Would honestly take too long. By the time we have characters like Nightwing we’ll all be like 60 years old

@@jxlennn Maybe ever 10 years, a new era begins. I'm not sure how they'd handle it, but either way, the original JSA definitely needs more live action attention. A movie at least.

You forgot Step 5: Don't stupidly replace speedsters and actual Flash characters from the comics that we want to see with characters that not only aren't speedsters, but are also not actual Flash characters from the comics. And you also forgot Step 6: Give Wally West and Avery Hoe new superhero codenames and give Wally West a completely new costume with a cape and googles.

@@trevturp6891 I'm guessing your rant is about the TV show?

@@StephenLeGresley Yes and that was one of the show's biggest problems that unfortunately almost no one talks about, but a little of it is about the codename they gave Avery Hoe in the comics and the fact that they stupidly haven't given Wally West his own superhero codename.

wally west isn’t a side character. he was the main flash for two and a half decades where barry became history by that point until he got stupidly brought back

@@talentroller4413 In the TV show he IS a side character though as anyone who isn't the main protagonist is. They could give Wally his own show at some point though.
