DCAU Flash Upgrade?

Here Flash runs to the sun in a stated timeframe of 7:30 minutes, which is a low-level FTL feat. Nope that Green Lantern's beam keeps up with the Flash's running.

^Sinestro stating that his beams are Lightspeed, which is supposedly the same speed as the Flash.

If this is legit, Flash would be FTL and Green Lantern would have lightspeed to 1c attack speed.

Thoughts?

He has a few other LS/FTL feats. For example, he had to power a machine by moving at the "speed of light", which he did or something along those lines. It was in the many threads trying to upgrade him in the past.

In the DCAU comics, Superman has a 5-A feat.

The profiles barely look at them.

Well it seems legit, They gave us the timeframe he needed to do it in so the cuts in the scene don't matter and Green Lantern's beam was staying ahead of him the whole run.

My phone is to slow and doesn't like to load so I can see the second thing about Sinestro's beams but considering the top feat I geuss it's legit but I haven't watched Justice league or Justice League Unlimited in a while so I don't know if this is inconsistent.

If it's nothing contridicting this speed I agree.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

I always agreed that DCAU Flash is lightspeed.

 

[Antvasima]

I suppose that this seems reasonable.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Who evaluates the DCAU?

 

[Antvasima]

Nobody in particular, I think.

I don't think the DCAU comics are canon.

 

[Soldier_Blue]

Antvasima is right. There is no established knowledgeable member for the verse.

 

[Antvasima]

We should probably only use the tv series as canon, yes.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

Agreed.

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

I know this is old, but can he be upgraded to FTL?

 

[Soldier_Blue]

It's old but is sound.

And @Matthew,

I once watched a fight from JLU where a beam fired off by a lantern was reflected by a mirror. More proof of true light properties.

This stuff is all consistent with numerous statements that Flash can run at or at least near the speed of light.

 

[Soldier_Blue]

I know this is old, but can he be upgraded to FTL?

I think light speed would be best for now. I'll wait for Matthew to respond.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

I'm fine. Feel free to update the profiles to Lightspeed.

 

[Golden_Void]

This would upgrade Amazo's base speed from Relativistic to FTL since he absorbed his powers. I need to add the rest of the profiles here as well.

Lanterns are already MFTL.

 

[Golden_Void]

Also since Sinestro's beams are stated to be light speed, wouldn't this scale to literally everyone that has fought a lantern and dodged/deflected their beams?

[Matthew_Schroeder]

Maybe?

 

[Golden_Void]

That would make a lot of people FTL in combat speed, as long as its not an outlier (so I'm definitely watching the entire show again)

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

The comics have some gewd feats. One of the Calc Group Members is reading through them.

 

[Js250476]

Glad your watching it again show was so good

 

[Golden_Void]

So this continuity is JL, JLU, what else?

There are also the separate movie continuities of Supes/Shazam/Black Adam, etc.

 

[Hithere17]

This would give Wonder Woman FTl combat speed since she deflected dozens of hard light blasts from amazo

JL, JLU, and also the Batman and Superman cartoons from the 90s, and the Batman and Superman Comics from the 90s attached to those shows.

Oh, and Static Shock.

 

[Soldier_Blue]

I would like to mention again that the DCAU comics are not canon to the TV series and DCAU movies.

 

[Antvasima]

Soldier Blue is correct.

Where does that come from?

The "Mad Love" storyline first emerged in the comics and only later became part of the Batman show.

 

[Soldier_Blue]

"Of course, we'd teamed them up previously in the comics- we'd done that annual. The comic book animated continuity is actually different than the actual animated continuity- they'll do things that contradict what we do and vice versa. But for the sake of the Demon story we did in the animated show, we subsumed the annual we had done into the animated continuity just to get things moving faster."

^ This is from Bruce Timm, the creator of the DCAU. They might have made some events in the comics canon by bringing them into the main animated continuity. But the DCAU comics generally should not be considered canon. They're also done by a completely different writing team to the one that handled the DCAU animated series and movies.

 

[Matthew_Schroeder]

What about the 2010s Batman Beyond comics? Those are intended to take place in the DCAU verse and happen way after the original 90s comics which contradict the ongoing shows.
