FLASH AND SUPERMAN ARE THE FASTEST DC SPEEDSTERS
TV: IN S:TAS, THE SUPERMAN-FLASH RACE ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER
Moreover, the fourth episode of the second season, gave the fans the treat they deserved: the animated race between Superman and the Flash. In Metropolis, the competitors meet and the mayor tells them that the firs to race a 100 times around the Earth, will become The Fastest Man Alive.
In true DC Animated Universe fanfare, the episode is filled with comedy, fun and machinations from villains. Perhaps, one of the highlights of the entire series. Though both competitors are fierce, it seems the Flash has an edge. In fact, the episode ends on a cliffhanger.
In the end, both heroes continue their race and the winner is unclear.

FILM: SUPERMAN CATCHES UP WITH THE FLASH IN RUSSIA
Really, Justice League (2017) finally brought the World’s Greatest Heroes to save the Earth from Steppenwolf’s alien invasion. Importantly, it resurrected Superman who died in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) fighting Doomsday.
Perhaps, one of its least celebrated moments is the Superman and Flash civilian scene. For minutes, Flash is headed eastwards searching for civilians. When Superman hears civilians are in danger, he heads in the same direction. In a few moments, Superman catches up to the Flash.
Though earlier scenes at the Superman Memorial, show the Flash is faster, Superman shows reflexes fast enough to keep up with the Scarlet Speedster. In fact, our next item reveals that both heroes are competitors for The Fastest Man Alive.
FILM: IN THE POST-CREDITS SCENE, SUPERMAN AND FLASH RACE
Gloriously, Justice League (2017) showcases a fan-favorite post-credits scene. In order to determine who is The Fastest Man Alive, Flash and Superman agree to race across the Pacific. The movie ends on a cliffhanger with the outcome of the race uncertain.
Though the DCEU Flash is known to be faster and even capable of turning back time, Superman can escape the pull of a black hole and has the advantage with flying. Certainly, fans know Flash is The Fastest Man Alive.

Importantly, Superman flies at supersonic speeds on Earth and can circle the planet in a few moments. However, he is able to go FTL in space.

For the most part, Superman and Flash are challengers. However, Flash can run at light speeds on Earth. In Flashpoint (2011), Barry ran so fast that he turned back time and created an alternate DC multiverse leading to the New 52.
SEE Flash, Wally West, JLA Vol 1 #89 for Wally West’s power level rating. Comparably, Barry can travel at lightspeed.
