Flash vs. Superman

Who would win a race: the Flash or Superman? Tough question. Being a Kryptonian powered by the Earth's yellow sun, Superman can, as they say, "fly faster than a speeding bullet." And of course, there's the scene at the end of Superman: The Movie illustrating his super speed - Superman flies around the world so fast that he causes time to reverse. So clearly, he's got some skills.

But the thing is, the Flash is pure speed. Literally. He's connected to the speed force, an energy source from which all speed is based. The Flash can run faster than a bullet. In fact, he can break the sound barrier and (I believe) surpass the speed of light. And he's been known to use his speed to travel back in time. So, given that the Flash is tapped into the force that is intrinsically connected with the notion of "speed," I'd have to say that he is the faster of the two.

Thoughts?
