The Ideal Build for The Flash

In your opinion how should the Flash look?

I always felt that grant was too scrawny to be the Flash. Out of these 2, the animated flash is more accurate.

The one that doesn't complain about getting built. Also Flash should be moderately buff or atleast you should notice it also hate how some imagine CW Flash has a belly like his belly is popping out

Grant's too skinny, the animated body is too buff. Runner's build.

Moderately buff

DCEU and DCAU are ideal.

Somewhere inbetween those two.

Lean but ripped.

I think it's not too far-fetched for him to have somewhat of a large chest either. With his metabolism, I'd imagine he'd have a well-developed heart and pair of lungs.

Athletic.

Grant would be fine if didn't just look like a skinny fat guy who got lucky

CW Barry is fine to be honest.

Closer to Grant but just a bit more muscle

why does it mater that hes buff?

Lean and ripped, he's not a big guy but he should be in peak shape

Like cristiano ronaldo

Like this?

@ganon15: Yeah

Teddy Sears has that build:

Come to think of it, he also looks more like Barry than Grant does

Brock Lesnar

I'd argue Grant has the closer-to-ideal build. But As stated above Teddy Sears looks good as well.

Pretty sure comicvine users are insecure about their bodies given how much energy we spend talking about actors bodies

Or all gay.

One of the two for sure

He looks like a bodybuilder on steroids to the left.

Something like how Michael B. Jordan was in Creed is perfect for Flash. Not Superman buff. Lmao

Perfect for Flash. Not like this:

Not where Barry is at the size of a freaking tank like Cavillman.

Imma go with the latter since a more muscular actor would honestly add nothing to the series but more gratuitous shirtless scenes. Some say they "want comic adaption to look just like the character" but considering Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is a fan favorite, that's flagrant bullshit.

Ideally he should have the physique of a quarterback, or at the very least a professional boxer. Some definition. Not overly stocky, just enough muscle mass to perform the sort of split second feats Flash is capable of. If he's too swole it'll get in the way of his explosiveness. The weight will bog him down and restrict movement. Aerodynamic. He needs to swim without getting wet.

This. Ezra's current build is pretty good too.

Wat?

Good call, I agree with this.

A runner's build. Something like Usain Bolt.

@wbr17: That look's cool, is that an actual show, the..Bot?

On topic, post 9 and post 22 pics look really on-point for Barry.

@llehdevil: I think it's just a gif. But I never search for it.

@rustyroy: Yeah, I know, but just a little more and it would not only seem better, but it would also make sense due to all the activity Flash is in.

Agreed.
