ICYMI, The Flash sped onto the silver screen as a member of the Justice League. In celebration of the Crimson Comet's star-turn, let's take a look back at his previous appearances in both animated and live-action shows.
In 2014, The Flash returned to TV in a spin-off of the CW's popular Arrow. Grant Gustin stars as a younger Barry Allen than we've seen before, who once again balances his police day job and his superhero freelancing, all while trying to clear the name of his father—played by former Flash himself, John Wesley Shipp.
What Channel Is The Flash On Directv Dvr
You might be surprised at how The Flash has evolved from this:
- Buy online now or call to order 888.777.2454. DIRECTV Channel Lineups. View or print the DIRECTV channel lineup (PDF).
- The green light on the remote should flash twice again. Side the mode switch at the top of the remote back to DIRECTV. If the DIRECTV remote is not compatible or not programmed, cycle through the inputs using the original TV remote, an alternate universal remote, or the buttons on the TV. If you still don't see a picture, reset your receiver.
- In contrast, DIRECTV nearly doubles prices in the second year of the two-year agreement. However, DIRECTV provides free NFL Sunday Ticket, and premium channels such as HBO Max, as incentives to sign for two years rather than price guarantees. Many subscribers agree to the two-year deals because the offers seem irresistible.
To this (Ezra Miller in Justice League, now in theaters):
Animated fun: The Challenge of the Superfriends (1978)
Superfriends used to be the closest thing there was to a Justice League outside of the comics, and it's the only time The Flash has teamed up with a blue, super-powered monkey. Animated by cartoon powerhouse Hanna-Barbera, with character designs by the legendary comic artist Alex Toth, the series Challenge of the Superfriends was aimed at younger fans. Plotlines often featured mad scientists and aliens, and it was a ton of campy fun!
Crime-solving live action: The Flash (1990-1991)
This live-action iteration of The Flash featured Barry as a police officer in the field fighting crime both in and out of costume. The show ran for only one full season, partially because of its large budget for the time and the fact that it was up against ratings powerhouses The Simpsons and The Cosby Show.
Back to animated comic relief: Justice League (2001-2004)
After successful animated interpretations of both Batman and Superman that appealed to both kids and adults, producers Bruce Timm and Paul Dini broadened their scope and brought the entire Justice League to their DC Animated Universe. The animated Justice League is one of the few to utilize Barry's comic book successor, Wally West. Wally is portrayed as a bit of a comic relief character, constantly quipping and hitting on Hawkgirl, leading to an infamous how'd-they-get-that-on-Cartoon-Network moment in which she responds to his boasts of being the fastest man alive by saying that must explain why he 'can't get a date.'
A younger hero: The Flash (2014-present)
In 2014, The Flash returned to TV in a spin-off of the CW's popular Arrow. Grant Gustin stars as a younger Barry Allen than we've seen before, who once again balances his police day job and his superhero freelancing, all while trying to clear the name of his father—played by former Flash himself, John Wesley Shipp. As part of a shared universe, Flash is able to interact with Arrow on each of their respective shows and Supergirl in an incredibly fun musical episode in which the two share a duet called (what else?) 'Super Friends.'
Blink-and-you-miss-it cameo: The Lego Movie
If we're counting everything, and I mean everything, then technically The Flash also made an appearance in The Lego Movie as a member of Metalbeard's pirate crew.

The Flash is arguably the biggest fanboy out there, and his child-like wonder paired with his time-bending abilities will be an amazing contrast to the rest of the seasoned members of the league. Justice League lands in theaters on November 17.
