10 DC Comics That Would Make Perfect Animated Films

4. The Flash: Born To Run

Superman Kingdom Come

Alright DC, it’s time for another year one movie. The Flash is always an accompaniment piece and never the star of the show. That all needs to change.

Wally West is a good flash. Well, he’s got the potential to be a great flash. It depends on the series the creators choose to run with usually. The Flash: Born to Run is considered the Post-Crisis origin story for the character. He is no longer Kid Flash and forced to take on the role of Flash now that Barry Allen is gone.

It’s an emotionally taxing journey for the character that plays out well on the big screen. Wally West becomes a superhero worth rooting for with enough emotional baggage to make him relatable, but not dark and sad.

So far, the studio shows no signs of giving the scarlet speedster any room to run. It’s time to reconsider that plan of action and provide this compelling character a year one animated movie.
