Who Is Faster Between Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman & Grant Gustin’s Flash Debate Settled By Arrowverse Stars

Before we had DCEU and DCU, we had Arrowverse a massive cinematic universe featuring major and minor characters from DC Comics. Arrowverse generally received mixed reviews due to its somewhat campy tone and perceived lack of quality when it comes to its shows.

Nevertheless, it’s still an important part of DC’s history and it gave us some of the best portrayals of Flash (Grant Gustin) and Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) in TV history.

The characters never had that many on-screen interactions compared to other characters, and so they never had the opportunity to measure their powers – or rather speeds. In the comics, Flash is generally faster than Superman, winning the majority of their races.

In the Arrowverse?Well, to answer that question we’re going to have to consult with unlikely sources.

At the Fan Expo Dallas event, the casts of ‘The Flash’ and ‘Superman & Lois’ participated in a panel where Candice Patton (Iris West-Allen) and Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane) debated who is faster: Grant Gustin’s Flash or Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman. You can watch the full clip below.

As you can see, the actresses couldn’t agree on an answer even though Patton is technically correct. Tulloch however changed the rules of the game by rephrasing the original question from who would win in a race to who is the most powerful superhero, in that case – Superman wins.

With ‘The Flash’ concluding its storyline last year, and ‘Superman & Lois’ currently airing its final season, it’s unlikely that we will have an on-screen race in any case.
