We'll next see Miller's Barry Allen in 2017's The Justice League, before the character moves onto his own solo movie. He's hit a new level of popularity over the last couple years thanks to Grant Gustin's portrayal in CW's The Flash, and his star power has only increased since making his (admittedly brief) big screen debut in Batman v Superman (played by Ezra Miller). Barry also tends to be the focal point in the various multimedia Flash spinoffs. DC's New 52 reboot has since changed continuity so that Barry is and always has been the Flash of his world. Since then, Barry has reclaimed his title as the Fastest Man Alive. However, he finally returned to the world of the living in 2008's Final Crisis. For several decades after Barry remained a source of inspiration for other speedsters like Wally West. Barry remained the main speedster in DC's comics up until his heroic death in 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths. He quickly developed a reputation as one of the most beloved heroes in the DC Universe, with the residents of Central City even building a museum in his honor.
A forensic scientist with a chronic habit of being late for everything, Barry gained his speed powers when he was struck by a bolt of lightning. His debut in 1956 is credited with helping to usher in the Silver Age of comics.
Barry Allen First Appearance: Showcase #4 (1956) While neither the first nor the last of DC's many speedster heroes, Barry Allen is easily the most iconic. We've put together a guide that breaks down all the major speedster characters (albeit not all of them - there's a ton!) in the DCU and how they fit into Barry Allen's increasingly colorful world. But don't worry if you're having trouble separating your Kid Flashes and Reverse-Flashes.
