There was a tie-in comic with these two.
Levi Morales

Those Adventures comics were explicitly not canon
Aiden Nelson
He's a step up from her usual standards so I guess that counts as progress.
Tyler Foster
I remember when Giganta was dating Atom. What happened to that relationship?
Landon Murphy
Wally is a chad. How can you not see that coming? Even Clark is not surprised.
Luis Allen
I feel like maybe they cut a scene or two, and as a result, that kiss kinda comes out of nowhere.
Maybe there was a scene where he had some kind of dialogue or battle interactions with Giganta, but they had to cut it out because of time constraints. Or maybe it was supposed to be Tala at some point in the writing process.
Joshua Wright
>Wally x Giganta
>Not Ryan x Giganta
Matthew Carter
Deathstroke killed Ryan and delivered his body in a matchbox.
Giganta found out it was him, slowly broke every bone in his body and left him alive.
Then Flashpoint happened, I think.
Hudson Rivera
Mind you I'm not saying she needs them, but does Giganta have any shirts that actually fit?
Jacob Russell
I always figured it was a "This is probably
the only chance I'll get" kind of thing. Feel like y'all are overthinking it.
Either way, the heroes and villains working together always got me hyped as fuck. Loved this finale so much.
Tyler Turner
It still felt like the kisser and the person who gets kissed seemed to be pretty randomly chosen. The moment would've felt more rewarding if it had some kind of set-up, instead of feeling like the characters in the kiss scene might as well have been chosen by doing a random lottery between all those present. Like for example Star Sapphire/Batman, Cheetah/Superman or Bizarro/Wonder Woman; each of them would've felt about as out-of-nowhere as a pairing.
Either way, it's a brief mildly odd moment but the entire episode overall was great. Villain/hero team-ups get me hyped up too, and the episode managed to give tons of characters their time to shine.
John Baker
Thinking about it more, maybe that kiss was the set-up for something they wanted to do down the line, but didn't get the chance to.
And yeah, lots of good character moments. I remember smiling like a goober when Atomic Skull carries Wonder Woman away from the explosion to safety and then he's cheering when the machine is destroyed. I'll never forget that shit.
Jacob Howard
More canon than those shitty Batman Beyond comics Yea Forums counts as canon, at least.
Matthew Miller
This but it was the villain Dwarfstar that paid Deathstroke to do it. Giganta took her revenge out on Dwarfstar. He never appeared again prior to Flashpoint so you could even assume she killed him if you'd like.
Ayden Myers
The one with Flash and Giganta was written by Matt Wayne who was a writer on the show.
Tyler Williams
Oh, they're all just as non-canon. Only the TV shows and movies count.
And there was a Dini/Timm story in Adventures In The DC Universe that had no conflicts with continuity but it's still not canon. That policy doesn't work on a case to case basis, all of those comic tie-ins were rendered non-canon long ago.
Aiden Lopez
Says who?
Josiah Kelly
The DCAU crew. It's why you never see the comics referenced in DCAU wikis and whatnot.
David Stewart
>Oh, they're all just as non-canon. Only the TV shows and movies count.
Unless, of course, the creators explicitly acknowledge them as canon, like the YJ tie-in comics, which Weisman has written a fair amount of.
Jonathan Rogers
They had a Batman/Cheetah moment so it’s not out of the ordinary for moments like that to happen.
Nolan Green
Did you even read them ? If you had done it you wouldn't have asked such a stupid question because it's obvious they aren't
Kevin Cruz
Most Batman Adventures/Gotham Adventures issues count as canon
Isaiah Cox
Not really.
Just like how Marvel always has vampires for no real reason, DC always has intelligent gorillas.
Although Giganta was originally a Wonder Woman villain and Superman fought random gorillas from time to time, Flash has always been the hero who deals with them the most. Depending on the years you’re talking about, Grodd can even be considered Flash’s arch nemesis.
Pairing Giganta, who in the DCAU was a gorilla for the first time since the golden age (as opposed to a human scientist who experimented on gorillas) with THE gorilla expert superhero was like matching them up AND throwing the audience a curveball at the same time.
It’d be like pairing up Maxie Zeus and Wonder Woman.
Austin Ward
It hurts.
Michael Davis
>You got a 5min head start...
Cameron Cruz
>yfw you realize he cucked both Luthor and Grodd
Grayson Baker
Yes
Carson Long
I have the BaF Giganta. Feels good. I've also got Elastigirl.
Ethan Clark
That happened because Batman deliberately manipulated Cheetah into it with his intelligence and playboy skills. It had some kind of build-up and a reason to happen.
The kiss in JLU's finale would've made more sense if it had been for example Batman/Cheetah again, or maybe even Hawkgirl/Atomic Skull since they did stuff together in that episode.
I suppose people can kiss other people for no particular reason as a spur-of-the-moment thing, and maybe it was that. But even if it was that, OP is still correct about the kiss being pretty random.
Some of them very obviously contradict the cartoons. IMO the most noticeable example is pic related; because of the events of Starcrossed, this page can't fit anywhere in DCAU timeline.
Matthew Anderson
how
Leo Morgan
Watch the ep where Flash and Luthor swap bodies
Evan Johnson
Whenever I see the two of them interact, I always get flashbacks of the time when I got bullied by that one tall girl in school. I hate it when my life problems get messed up in my cartoons.
Logan Moore
I ship this more than Barry and Iris or Wally and whoever
Adrian Garcia
I might be missing something but why can't it fit immediately after the episode where Grodd brought out all the negative feelings for each other ?
Michael Anderson
It takes place after a separate incident that has nothing to do with Grodd.
But more importantly: Flash and Batman didn't unmask in front of the rest of the team until Starcrossed. And after Starcrossed, Hawkgirl stopped wearing her costume and helmet (which she's wearing in that issue).
The comic was written before Starcrossed aired, which is why it doesn't match with the series.
