Let’s dreamcast the Teen Titans before they appear in the DCEU

3. Jake T. Austin as Kid Flash

Kid Flash, aka Wally West, started out as the sidekick to Barry Allen’s Flash. The young speedsters’ abilities are similar to the Flash’s: super speed, phasing through objects, and entering the Speed Force, the cosmic force that grants all speedsters their abilities to manipulate time and space. The usual.

Wally West is typically portrayed as having a carefree, womanizing personality with a brainier side. He cares deeply about his friends and is often overprotective of them, including Robin, with whom he forms a close friendship. They are such great friends that Robin serves as Wally’s best man at his wedding to Linda Park. We need this type of bromance in a Teen Titans movie!

Wally West has shown up on The CW’s Flash show, where he’s played by Keiynan Lonsdale. That version fits the melodramatic tone of the series, but the DCEU version should highlight his nonchalant attitude.

Casting Jake T. Austin for Wally was an easy choice. The Disney actor has shown that he can play easygoing and bring out the softer side of the character. He’s also a Titans veteran: he voices Blue Beetle in the DC Animated Teen Titans movies. If anyone belongs in a live-action Titans movie, it’s Austin.
