Flash Year One: The Perfect DCU Origin Story

James Gunn has said that this is a superhero universe that is going to be in full swing right from Superman onward. That works for a lot of big time heroes but origins can really be a way to showcase a lot of internal growth that may be missed if they are skipped.

There are various reasons why The Flash Year One would make a really amazing starting point for the next Flash iteration. One you could easily just make it a two part animated movie akin to the Spiderverse franchise. That gives you the ability to animate the panels and bring the colors that pop off the pages to life.

From a story telling perspective it is uniquely different as well in terms of Barry Allen becoming the Flash. The only similarity is the lightning strike. You could essentially start an animated movie with Barry being rushed into the hospital and then subsequently awaking from the coma. That just makes it more of a young Flash story.

Barry Allen deserves the redemption after the colossal failure of The Flash movie. As do the supporting characters. One extremely viable character is August Heart who as many know inevitably becomes a speedster himself known as Godspeed. This could even be an animated trilogy and use Year One to jump into the Godspeed arc. As much as the casting of Kiersey Clemons as Iris West was near perfect , Iris as a character deserves the chance to shine in a new Flash iteration. She is the reason Barry Allen pushes himself to be heroic and you could easily introduce Wally or Wallace as a potential Kid Flash.

Story wise the story is very easy to connect with and you keep it Flash characters only. With an expanded story and screen time for a movie you could have The Flash fight a classic Rogue before introducing The Turtle as the main villain. Turtle is the exact opposite of Flash which is why the story forces Barry to think outside the box.

There is also a futuristic element that could used as a potential storyline to set up an alternate possibilty to do elseworlds stuff. One that is different from an apocalytpic wasteland scenario. DC needs to do things we have not already seen before. This story is so well written because it takes certain elements of Barry's story that works but also revitalizes his early days to not just be yet another battle with Reverse Flash.

Origin stories or early Superhero stories are very important. Not every character needs to be middle aged and already 10 years in. The future elements allow you to do both here as well. The world deserves to see more of Joshua Williamson's writing and Howard Porter's art work come to life. This story is full of beautiful and eye popping art work that deserves to be seen by the largest audience possible. This story never sits on my shelf long enough to collect dust and it is the epitome of respect as well as creating something new and lasting.

The Flash Year One

It's absolutely my favorite Barry Allen origin story. Over the years, Barry Allen has become the most popular mainstream Flash due to rising popularity in the TV series and Film series. However, while those iterations made attempts at the origin story for Barry, none do it better than Joshua Williamson's The Flash Year One. It provides a new first foe for Barry, changes things up by adding in The Flash from the future all the while keeping all the classic elements that make Barry such a great version of The Flash. Williamson was the first writer in years to bring a fresh perspective to Barry and recreate some of his classic villains and storylines for modern times. I love his rebirth run with Barry. It solidifies for me why it is always tough to choose who is my favorite version of The Flash.

August 23rd, 2022 | Gerard Way in Nashville (videos ↓: 1-3. erunmari’s ig live, 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.)

When he mentioned to me “I want to be a vintage cheerleader” I’m like “Okay, what era are we in? 50s, 60s, 70s, 40s?” and then he was like “Find me something that’s within possibly this color scheme.” (...) It was probably like 10 different vintage stores that we went to (...) And it happened to be as we were leaving one of the stores, I looked on a sale rack and I saw this like damaged, weird, vintage cheer dress that had no zipper, that had no hem. And I was like “I love this!” (...) We reshaped it, took the whole thing apart, reconstructed it to be his measurements and still kept it authentic. | Marina Toybina on the cheer dress.
