According to the DC comics, The Flash is faster than Superman and according to the movies, Superman is faster or maybe on par with The Flash.

DC Comics, Inc. is one of the largest and oldest American comic book companies who have featured various iconic superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and many more to count. One of the most beloved superheroes in DC comics is Superman. In the comics as well as in the films, Kal-El aka Superman is shown to be one of the most powerful heroes out there. With powers almost godly, Superman is the name that often wins debates when it comes to the question of who is the strongest superhero in the DC universe.

However, when it comes to who is faster, while some believe it to be Superman, many DC fans are adamant that The Flash aka Barry Allen is faster than the Kryptonian. Well, the only confirmation that could come would be from the makers of these comics. There has been no official statement released from DC claiming which of the superheroes is faster. However, all the DC movies are primarily inspired by the comics. According to the comics, Barry Allen is faster than Superman. So it would be safe to assume the same.

As mentioned above, according to the comics, The Flash is faster than Superman. However, the Justice League filmmakers left DC fans with the benefit of the doubt on the same. In the 2017 released Justice League film, it was shown that Superman was able to see The Flash coming and counter his super-fast attacks. This left many thinking that the Kryptonian was faster than Barry Allen.

However, in the recent DC film, The Flash, Barry Allen was seen being fast enough to travel back in time. Hence this proves that The Flash is faster than Superman. In the comics, the two superheroes have been seen racing each other and each time, either The Flash has won or it is a tie between the two.

According to reports, the recently released DC film, The Flash had three different endings including one with the cameo of Henry Cavill's Superman. However, since James Gunn came on board as the new head of DC, the cameo was cut from The Flash movie. Instead of going ahead with the Superman cameo, the makers of the film decided to go with the version where George Clooney's Batman was featured in the film.

In 2022, it was revealed that Henry Cavill would not play Superman again. The reason behind this sudden decision was that the executives of DC wished to see a younger Superman in their upcoming DC films.

In May 2023, a report by The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the 29-year-old Pearl star David Corenswet is one of the top names who may be seen as the new Superman for DC. However, there have been no official confirmations on the same as of now.
