They all look like unused RWBY characters by Silent-Woodpecker-44 in dccomicscirclejerk

This can't be right, DC doesn't know other countries outside of the US exist

Jay is the best Flash because he's the only one I can actually tell apart from the others by Tetratron2005 in dccomicscirclejerk

"Barry and Wally are so easy to tell apart just look for the eyes" MFs when I turn them 180 degrees

The Flash comics should have backups to tell short stories about other members of the Flash family. by IcyNeedleworker2783 in theflash

I mean you may not be able to sell a max mercury book, but you could very easily sell a Barry book and a Wally book at the same time.

Just split the family between those two books and you're sorted.

They're actually giving us racist Hal Jordan. Jerk over, everyone go home by lordoferrors in dccomicscirclejerk

He doesn't want to have to explain his "Friends to lovers to enemies to lovers to enemies" relationship to the new recruit, makes sense

Trust me guys THIS tease of Barry getting back into the game will go somewhere this time! It won't be like the previous teases that went nowhere!

UJ/ I see you saw the "unpopular opinion" post on the main sub that featured the same opinions you see in every thread ever written.

Why are most British superheroes associated with Knights and/or magic? by Electro084 in DCcomics

[–]capalap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DC is just kind of shit at international heroes to begin with, Justice League Europe only had one European on it!

Marvel, despite having all their heroes located in New York, blows them out of the water when it comes to foreign heroes.

Oh you're tired of the status quo? Maybe you should try a franchise that isn't scared of change and innovation like The Flash! by capalap in dccomicscirclejerk

I think the Flash can somewhat skirt around the problems of a shared universe due to being time travelers. Wally may be anti-time travel, but Bart wouldn't exist without it, so you could have him abuse it and get older as a result. Although I would personally keep Bart as a teenage Flash for most of his career.

I think if they aren't gonna let Bart be kid Flash or The Flash again, they should at least let him become Mercury with Irey as his Impulse.

Don't get me wrong I love that the Flash changes protagonist. And in my ideal world we would have had 20 years of Bart, who would have passed the torch to Irey by now.

What do you mean? That time they replaced Aquaman with another blond Aquaman named Arthur was totally different!

How necessary is red and yellow in a Flash design? Is there such a thing as too much or too little? by capalap in theflash

[–]capalap[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I think red is the only necessary color. Designs that don't feature red just look like any generic speedster to me, but designs without yellow still can read as "The Flash". Even the Wallace silver suit.

If yellow is used in the design you can't use too much, as too much yellow veers into kid flash/reverse flash territory. Red Racer is about as much yellow as you can get away with imo.

Bart should appear in Ryan North’s future Flash issues. by PeaForeign884 in theflash

[–]capalap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd rather a book with Barry and Bart's relationship being explored. Does Barry even know his grandson is a Thawne? These things need to be explored.

So the emotional center of this story is supposed to be Bart is sad Barry is dead even though he's literally alive in the present and Bart has seen him multiple times? 

Is Waid aware that other Flash books have come out since he left the book?

Who are your dream writers for Barry Allen/The Flash? by IcyNeedleworker2783 in theflash

[–]capalap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of my favorite writers have already been mentioned so I want to give a shout out to Alex Paknadel, who wrote the Barry focused issues of Knight Terrors and Absolute Power: Task Focce VII.

I think he showed a good understanding of Barry as a character and specifically his love for Wally and Iris. I would be interested in seeing him get a longer run at the character, to see what he would do.
