I was already a pretty big fan of The Flash before I started watching The CW's Arrowverse of The Flash. It was a good run while it lasted, hopefully future Flash movies will fill the void. ⚡️
Out of all the actors that played Barry Allen/The Flash, Grant Gustin's performance as the character is my all time favorite!

Honestly makes you wonder why they didn't just approach Grant to do the film version instead of Ezra Miller. Especially given all the crud that Miller's gotten on the face by now.
Basically as the years went on, Barry Allen became one of the most Overpowered characters in DC.
Now do ‘Villain Origin Stories: Ezra Miller’
Who else got their introduction to watch mojo when they did superhero and supervillain origins ? I know I did.
He may not be the fastest nor the first Flash, but he is definitely the one who helped nail the look of the Flash. What is he supposed to look like? I dunno. But it's iconic.

The new Flash movie does r not look good to me, but I’m excited to see Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck come back. The actress who plays Supergirl looks adorable as well.

It's just too bad the DCAU never gave us an animated series based on the Flash. As a fan of Wally West, I'd happily write the scripts for episodes of that show.

Which actor do you think did a great job in portraying the live action Barry Allen Flash between John Wesley Shipp, Grant Gustin and Ezra Miller? Which actor do you think should play him in James Gunn DC projects in the DCU, is Will Poulter the best choice since he could look exactly like comic book Barry Allen?

John Shipp is no longer as young as he use to be I believe him playing Jay Garrick is the best role for him he's gain high respect points from me because he used to actually play the Flash but at the end of the day I can't see a better person to play the Flash than Grant Gustin Ezra just feels ackward to me

And I thought Hal Jordan turned to the dark side because of the loss of a loved one. The irony is that both Hal and Barry were the successors to the originals (Alan Scott and Jay Garrett, respectively), and were later replaced by much better successors because of the Justice League cartoon (Wally West and John Stewart, respectively).

What do you think is the best thing about John Wesley Shipp as the Flash from his own TV show to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover? What do you think is the best thing about Grant Gustin as the Flash in the CW Flash? What do you think is the best thing about Ezra Miller's Flash from the live action Justice League movie to his Flash movie?

Best thing about JWS's version of Barry? He played the character as a cheesy Silver Age figure that you could still like both in and out of costume. Best thing about Grant Gustin's version? He convincingly played the character as someone who made mistakes, was willing to admit to them, and had the capacity to learn from them. Best thing about Miller's version? The way he relates to Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne.
Just like the Young justice TV show, Which animated movie or TV Show do you think did a great job in portraying Barry Allen as the Flash?

I'm a massive fan of The Flash. In fact, Flash is my most favorite DC Comics superhero out of the whole lot. HOWEVER. As far as I am concerned, the entire Flashpoint concept is idiotic. If Reverse-Flash killed Barry's mother to change up the timeline, then Barry preventing her murder should have snapped everything back to normal, back to how it was before, not changed everything for the WORSE. Basically, for me, Flashpoint is the One More Day of DC Comics, and it was greenlit by someone who couldn't let go of Barry Allen, who hated Wally West, and who wanted to cheapen, invalidate, and make pointless Barry's sacrifice during Crisis on Infinite Earths. Yes, I said it. No, I am not taking it back.
