Bart Allen as The Flash

Idk if this a Hot Take but or not but Impulse should be the next Flash

now Im going to list out some arguments that people made who are against this Idea

  1. Bart Becoming Kid Flash/Flash was completely detrimental to his Character bc he lost allot of what made him special and wasnt Impulsive anymore

  2. Bart doesnt want the Flash Mantle bc he's not interested in it and just wants to be himself and his own person with his own identity that he made

  3. Bart Works Best as Impulse and if he was going to cary on anyones Legacy it should be Max Mercury

First off How was him becoming Kid Flash/Flash detrimental to his Character? what do people not want him to have character development and to just stay as the same immature kid? Bart's Arc was him outgrowing his Impulse Identity. he was still Impulsive but just not as much as he was before and its stupid that people are mad that in Geoff Johns Run he wasnt as Impulsive as he was when he was first Introduced. also Bart not wanting the Flash mantle wanst a thing until I think it was New 52 or Rebirth. also if you claim that Bart wants to be his own person then why would he take on Max Mercury's Legacy? his identity isnt even that special anymore since Wally's Daughter also becomes Impulse therefore Bart's Identity is no special bc another person is using it.

Huh. Interesting. The Speed of Thought in DC works the same as Marvel, aka making lightspeed look like a snail. Anyone know what comic this is from?

The Flash 2023 question

I loved the movie. I heard negative things before I saw it but I thought it was great. I also thought Ezra Miller did a good job in it.

I did think he was annoying at first until he points it out to himself, so oh it was intentional. Well done.

Of course all the cameos were bad ass, Michael Keaton come on! And cool to see the alt versions. Even the almost Nic Cage movie.

I also loved the 90’s tv show just an FYI.

I’m new to this sub. Can someone catch me up on what’s going to become of this character in the DC universe?

Is Ezra going to remain? Are they making another?

Like I said I thought it was great and I just watched it again tonight.

Do I remember hearing negative things?

Comics

Any help would be amazing!

Do you guys think Golden Glider in the Absolute Universe might be...

!​!<... Iris?

I saw some people commenting that Captain Cold's design makes him look like Rudy West, Wally's father. So, if is father can be a (sort of) military, his aunt can also be.

So, if this theory is true (I have no idea if there is a chance of this happening), this guy here can actually be Ira, Wally's grandfather and Iris and Rudy's dad.

To be honest, Golden Glider's design doesn't really make me think she is Iris for some reason, but I would like to see an Wally West with a (even more) complicated family.>!​!<

Do you think read death would ever be featured in an animated or live action movie?

I would like to see how they would portray red death in the movies (animated or live action). It'll be nice to have a different villain from flash's rogue's gallery for a change. I know CW tried to do their own take on red death and that was okayish. They made Red Death an evil version of Batwoman since they had restrictions on using Bruce Wayne and Batman in the show. They tried to make it work given all the restrictions they had so I can't really hate on but I would like to see a more lore accurate version of Red Death in the movies. What do y'all think?
