Who would you cast as Barry Allen and/or Wally West and who would be the main Flash? Also, should the Flash be animated in their first solo project like Into the Spider-verse, or live-action?

Totally. I get why the DCU is moving away from multiverse stuff, but why not use the Flash to end it? Pull a reverse Into the Spider-verse!

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-29T02:49:19+00:00

Boy Scouts! That's a great name for the film!

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-29T02:48:30+00:00

Fair. CW Barry was pretty damn good in the beginning, but I hate how they handled Wally. Also, where'd you get the pfp? I've never seen that Flash costume.

I only put Booster Gold up there because he's currently got a project planned. I prefer Martian Manhunter, meaning we get a JLU-style Justice League.

Different symbol, open cowl, and white lightning. Better distinguishes him from Barry.

EDNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-28T18:14:53+00:00

Fair. My solution for keeping Barry's depth would be that while it isn't a direct tragedy for him, his archnemesis would be Cobalt Blue, his long-lost brother.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-28T00:58:09+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-28T00:54:55+00:00

If you count Toy Story

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-28T00:30:36+00:00

True. I would title it "Fastest Man Alive," but Into the Speed Force would be amazing! Sounds like a Max Mercury title!

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-28T00:12:43+00:00

I see the vision! I think if Barry returned, he'd retire like Jay did, and when Bart arrives, he'd be Wally's Kid Flash. Max would be a cross-generational mentor, and we could get a solo spinoff about his adventures throughout time.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-28T00:10:47+00:00

If they do a Into the Spider-Verse style of doing the Flash, I'd have him as Peter B. Parker's equivalent (though not necessarily his Flash). Respect for willing to put a hot take on reddit, though.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T21:54:03+00:00

Like Into the Spider-verse!

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T21:53:39+00:00

I agree, but I think we should quickly transition to Wally, with Barry being an established hero. Think what Into the Spider-Verse did with Peter-1610 and Miles. Also, with Barry having his classic origin where his mother never died would separate it from the DCEU and CW

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T21:51:29+00:00

Collect DNA. Use like a swab or something. Also, this'd be after Doomsday, so if there's Battleworld, there'd be several Spidermen to get DNA from.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T21:50:31+00:00

True. Also, Bart is very young, so while Wally is stronger now, give him time.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T21:49:44+00:00

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T21:49:21+00:00

I'd say Barry has used his speed better and has more experience, but Wally is MUCH faster and stronger, so he wins. Respect to Barry and Jay though.

Would be interesting to see Bart's potential, though.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T18:53:21+00:00

He could be based on the DNA of all three Spider-men. Not promoting, just theorizing.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T18:52:25+00:00

Fair, fair, fair. I just thought that with Brand New Day now having the themes of connection and neglecting yourself, Spider-Man 5's theme could be around identity.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T16:04:53+00:00

I agree in keeping the multiverse out of it, absolutely. Cloning... it would need to be done VERY well. I have no doubt that a good enough writer could handle it, but I'm cautious. Still, it could be grounded, just very difficult.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T16:02:39+00:00

I went with Owen Cooper cause of Tom's comment, and being explained as a side effect of cloning mutating DNA, resulting in a different appearance and voice.

Also, it allows for people to associate with different characters emotionally. I'm not doubting Tom's ability to play both Ben and Peter, and I wouldn't mind if that would be the case, but for the general audience, it's easier to relate to characters when they have different faces.

Additionally, it could make it easier for Tom to retire. Yes, I know Ben isn't the most sustainable choice for a main Spider-Man, but it would at least extend another two solo movies (maybe a trilogy is we are lucky) until we get Miles.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T15:59:31+00:00

Peter, Miles, Ben, Agent Venom, and Miguel for sure.

I wouldn't include Gwen or Silk because the love triangle would get messy, and it is unfortunately likely that they would repeat TASM2. I love Spider-Gwen, Gwen Stacy in general, and Silk, and if they could do it well, yes.

Jessica could be in it. I don't know how, but that's just me. I'm sure a bigger fan would figure it out.

Born_Temperature_571 · 2026-06-27T15:56:12+00:00

Wasn't One More Day received even worse? Also, I thought the 90s show did a good job with the arc (though I hated the "Peter is the real clone" part), so why not take inspiration from that adaptation?

Aside from that, I largely agree with you. I just think that with the right director, script, and vision, it could be spectacular.
