    Wally. He has the feats and consistency.  
     
    Sadly, he's not really canon any more, so the only option is Barry.

    Definitely Wally West is the fastest due to being the embodiment of the Speed Force.

    @AllStarSuperman: I think it was said that Bart had the potential of being the fastest but otherwise hasn't shown much feats.

    @bryndlenewman: Whenever you post in a thread on a forum, that gets "bumped" back up to the first page, it works like this so that interesting threads will stay at the top while other non interesting ones will get lost in the other pages. So when someone says "bump" it just means they're looking for more answers from other people, kind of like giving the thread another chance :)

    Wally was by far the fastest based off feats but I don't think they count anymore or are not considered canon. But some of his feats were totally awesome.

    I believe that while Barry was dead, Wally reached new heights in speed and was therefore the fastest ever at the time, but with Barry's resurrection in Final Crisis, he has since learned how to do everything and I'd say he's the fastest since he is the one who generates the Speed Force. He's certainly faster than Superman and can but usually chooses not to go faster than characters who travel at lightspeed, such as the Ray. Apparently it takes years for light to reach Earth from the sun, yet Green Lanterns can get to a whole nother space sector near instantaneously. I'm not at all sure on the science of that, or if there is any official explanation, but I'd assume that that is either some separate mode of travel other than speed, or that the Flash can go faster as well.

    @kilowog52: It takes 8 seconds for light to get from the Sun to Earth. The next nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is just under 4.5 light years from Earth, IIRC.

    Green Lanterns don't travel that distance, they teleport. (If you watch Star Trek, think 'wormhole'.)

    @tyger: Oh. I see. But what is "IIRC"? And I know Green Lanterns don't use standard teleportation. Granted, their hyperspacial travel may be just as similar to teleportation as it is to regular movement. But I know I've seen the Green Lanterns enter this sort of other I-don't-know-what-to-call-it while they are traveling these distances, fly through it for several minutes, then exit really really far from where they entered. The Indigo Tribesmen, on the other hand, do teleport. And so did a deceased GL appropriately named Porter.

    I wish superman wasn't as fast as the flash or almost as fast because it really takes away from flash especially in justice league it's like pretty much anything flash can do superman can also do plus other things... Superman shud just be fast but more like shazam fast I guess?

    Savitar is actually the fastest person in all of the DC universe. He is a god, however, not a human. The fastest human is actually Barry Allen as the Future Flash. If you don't know who the Future Flash is, search him up. He looks awesome.

    @batmanflash: Where did you get this information? Savitar is a human... He just named himself after the Hindu God of Motion, but he is in no way a God.

    Anyways, the majority believe the Ginger Wally West is the fastest. He's had the most feats and consistency. His most impressive feat was reaching "Trans-Time Velocity" where he literally "RAN" faster than an instant. Yes, he literally RAN faster than teleportation. That literally translates to him being able to be anywhere and everywhere for that instant. He literally RAN so fast that he became Omnipresent. Granted, this was when the most optimal conditions were set as he had nearly everyone on Earth run and absorb all that extra kinetic energy through the Speed Force.

    That's just one, extremely optimal condition placed example, but he's still believed to be faster. In the 2009 Flash Rebirth story, Wally actually caught up to Barry and helped him continue to run and speed up to catch Thawne. Whereas Barry created the Speed Force and continues to create it with each step he takes, Wally "mainlines" it, and his connection with it can never be broken.

    @redwhiteandbluesupes: Well when it comes it speed it is either him or Hunter Zolomon. But overall Black Racer's speed is a plot device. It all depends on what happens. Is it your time to die or not.

    @krleavenger: I personally tend to include Zoom a Speedster, even though his powers don't come from the speed force, although I get why some people don't consider him a Speedster. black racer is kind of a plot device, his top speed seems to be pretty vague. But you know the fastest Flash versus fastest Speedster in the DCU is a whole different debate LOL
