Barry Allen and Iris West-Allen are the Arrowverse’s premiere couple, so let’s celebrate them by reflecting on their 10 greatest moments.

“Endgame” is a term that gets thrown around a lot when talking about couples and the modern age of “shipping”, but if there was ever a couple destined for Endgame status, it’s Barry Allen and Iris West from The Flash.

It wasn’t a smooth journey for the Arrowverse‘s greatest coupling but it was clear that they were destined to be together from the very beginning and they overcame every obstacle the show – and indeed, the multiverse – threw their way. And that’s what made fans fall in love with them even more – just as they fell in love with each other.

Based on their DC Comics counterparts, Barry and Iris are the perfect live-action adaptation of comic book royalty and that makes them TV royalty. Like Superman and Lois, Batman and Catwoman and, yes, in spite of Arrow‘s attempted rewrites, Green Arrow and Black Canary, the pair are ever-lasting and iconic, and thanks to Grant Gustin and Candice Patton’s portrayal, The Flash‘s adaptation of that love story does its amazing source material so much justice.

WestAllen has been responsible for a number of The Flash‘s greatest moments – so many, in fact, that it was impossible attempting to narrow them down – but let’s celebrate this West-Allen Wednesday as we wait for the pair to reunite in The Flash season 7 by counting down their 10 greatest moments.
