    I can see them going with the Justice League War characterizations. The nerdy good cop and the hot shot arrogant cop.

    That's awesome. I love watching that lol.

    I don't know if I want them to use Hal's characterization from Justice League: War for the movie though. He seemed pretty incompetent at times there.

    Objectively Hal and Barry is the standard. They were the first to have that partnership (Alan and Jay didn't really have a pronounced relationship until much afterwards, and much of it was done in response to Hal/Barry). There is just so much more material between the two and it actually means something in story.

    Personally, there was just something really poetic about Hal and Wally. Kind of like Hal was the connection between Wally and the deceased Barry. If Hal and Barry were brothers, Hal was the uncle to Wally's nephew.

    Hal/Barry takes the cake.
    Because unlike other duos, these two are inseperable. I've seen Wally with multiple GL's but Barry is Hal's BFF and nobody can be put there.

    Who's Barry's best friend? Hal.
    Who's Wally's best friend? Dick. Justin. Chunk. theeeeeeeen Kyle. I loved their bickering but they never became as close as Hal and Barry for me.

    Though I say, I love John and Wally's relationship more than him and Kyle. Even in comics, he becomes a great big brother to Wally. They should've expanded on that more. Wally wasn't jerk but more chipper around him which I adored most.

    They didn't "team up" but they spent a lot of time together by the time John was included in JLA. Wally acted a lot like his cartoon self around him, they played basketball together etc. And when Wally became father they were close friends.

    I don't recall team ups, but they played off of each other quite nicely in Joe Kelly's JLA era. Made me wish to see more of that particular team up.

    Barry Allen and Hal Jordan are my favorite Green lantern/Flash duo. Their personalities complement each other perfectly. They have great chemistry.
    Of course the other Flash/Green lantern duos are good combinations as well. The other duos can be good friends as well.
    Hal and Wally can be good friends regardless of their age difference, but Hal and Barry are a better duo. This is partly due to the fact that Barry is more psychologically mature than Wally due to Barry being older and more experienced than Wally.
    Hal may be more reckless and psychologically immature than Barry, but Barry's personality and friendship with Hal Jordan would help Hal to learn to think things through before charging into a situation. Hal would learn that the strategy of thinking before acting in a situation is more powerful than Hal would have thought otherwise. Barry would also help Hal to learn to act more mature when Hal needs to.
    I haven't read much of Wally West and Hal Jordan's friendship, but I would think that Wally and Hal would be more of a big brother/little brother relationship.

    From what I have read in a storyline when Wally (as Kid Flash) lost his superspeed due to a Black Hand/Mirror Master team up in the pre-52 universe, Hal somehow turned Wally into a Green Lantern. Hal and Wally did have some good chemistry in that issue, but Hal also forgot to tell Wally about the GL ring's weakness to the color yellow. This nearly cost a helicopter crew their lives when Wally tried to use a GL construct to catch a falling helicopter...but the helicopter in question happened to be yellow in color. Fortunately Wally used a large piece of the street below to catch the helicopter in midair.

    That was from Waid's Brave and the Bold IIRC. Those were some pretty fun stories that mainly showed how great Hal and Barry's friendship is.

    Hal and Barry by far, when I think of a GL/Flash team up, this is pretty much the only one I can think of

    Hal and Barry, to me they are not only a great duo but great friends. If the rumors of DC making a Flash and Green Lantern Brave and the Bold movie, i'd be all on board with that as long as it's Hal and Barry.
