    Neither of those characters is like that in the comics, but they constantly change that for animation.  You need comic relief, and Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman ain't gonna do it.  it should've been Hal Jordan as the bravado guy.  Ugh.

    I was under the impression that was Wally in Crisis on 2 Earths...they never say his name but the script for the movie was originally intended for the Justice League animated show and Wally was the Flash on the show so I'm assuming that it was Wally in the movie

    @danhimself:
    It is meant to be Wally, and if you've read comics, you'll know that Wally was never as good at vibrating as Barry was/is.  That's the clue, even though it's never said.  Just my opinion, though.

    Its true and I agree, had to be Wally.  He is the same character from JL Unlimited.  Again they are nothing alike like i mentioned in another post.  The comics tell the tale and easily distinguish between both Barry and Wally.

    @mr.obvious: I remember getting excited for Justice League Doom and being like "Wow! They got everyone back (except GL Stewart)!!!" Then I noticed that the Flash was Barry instead of Wally...
