Sorry I'm Late!: Barry Allen Appreciation

[The Darknight Detective]

I never understand the concept of 'boring characters'. The characters are fine... the writers may suck, but the characters are fine. When you take a test pilot turned space cop, or a super-speed Police scientist and call them boring... but Alien super-gods and Rich guys who can literally do anything better than anyone else are the poster boys for a whole franchise... I don't get it. The pieces are all there to make some fascinating stories and characterizations... if you can do it with BATMAN... you can do it with anyone!!

When I was a kid back in the '70s, there was a horror film showcase called Chiller that aired on WPIX Satuday nights. I always wanted to watch it, but my parents didn't. Since we only had one TV at the time, my brothers and I always lost the argument. What did we do? "Oh, why do we have to watch that boring show instead?" Not that we really thought the non-horror program was boring, mind you, but we were trying (unsuccessfully) to sway our parents with our whining.

See where I'm going with this?

I'm digging Barry's look in JL Action.

Those are some nice boots .

I'm digging Barry's look in JL Action.

I've only seen him for like 10 seconds in one episode.

I've only seen him for like 10 seconds in one episode.

But he did help save the day .

I think he's supposed to show up in an Amazo episode later down the line.

I'd probably enjoy the show considerably more if he would show up in at least every third episode or show. 1/3 of the episodes have been uninteresting to me largely based on the characters featured.

He looks...flashy (ba-dum-tssh) .

I'm hoping for more appearances from Barry and Hal.

I'm hoping for more appearances from Barry and Hal.

I'm hoping for an episode with both Barry and Hal .

I'm digging Barry's look in JL Action.

Good look, but the whited-out eyes say "Wally West" to me.

JL Action's Flash is Barry. He had whited-out eyes in the Justice League Doom animated movie as well.

And Young Justice too.

DCAU JUSTICE LEAGUE/JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED aside, it doesn't seem that much of DC animation features Wally as the Flash.
