Potential DCAU Speed Upgrade

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

So in the animated TV show Justice League, Flash tracks down and confronts Sinestro. During their battle, Sinestro states: "My beams are as fast as you are. Light speed."

The clip can be seen here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bIUxN9bNpR4

So this means lightspeed DCAU Flash?

Not sure if this is considered a hyperbole or an outlier, but considering that DCAU Flash is already Massively Hypersonic to Relativistic, it's not that unbelievable.

Also, I figured that this would apply to the DCAU top tiers, considering that most of them are somewhat comparable to Flash (Superman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Doomsday, etc)

Please tell me what you think.

Hmm doesn't flash mhs to relativistic rating from when he went up against lex with brainiac, and wasn't it said that flash had never gone that fast before, not to mention that going that fast cause him to enter the speed force or something? Think this is probably hyperbole.

He said something along the lines of "I can never go that fast again, or I might not come back again." But yeah, I think you have a point.

Perhaps it could scale to just his reactions?

Well, I recently re-did the Flash v Braniac feat and "only" got Sub-Rel out of it. Could be an hyperbole.

....But, the calc also has Large Town level Kinetic Energy, which is usable in this case since he used his speed to ram Braniac. So Flash might get an upgrade in that regard.

Found another clip that may help the light speed claim.

Martian Manhunter states that they would have to run at "lightspeed" in order to trigger the wormhole device.

Could be another hyperbole, but something to look at.

Well, given that the Flash's maximum speed ended up considerably lower when calculated, I think that we can consider the statement as hyperbole.

Alright.

I will close this thread then.
