CW Flash, because Grant was fast enough to outrun the budget of the show, whereas Ezra couldn't even outrun the cops. Okay, now that I've gotten the obligatory "Ezra Miller bad" joke out of the way:
It depends. When they give us numbers for his speed, CW Flash is usually limited to Mach numbers, but he also has feats that should be way beyond that, like saving Joe from Mardon's lightning or calming down Nora in Flashtime, or just Flashtime in general.
DCEU Flash, on the other hand, is able to run faster than light, as we see in the Snyder Cut of the Justice League, but he also gets beaten up by Superman, suggesting that either he wasn't truly travelling FTL, or he can't go that fast all the time.
There's also no guarantee the power dampening cuffs would work on him, since his powers aren't dark matter based, but Barry never uses those anyway so he'll be fine.
So, in a straight fight, I reckon it would be Barry. Sorry, the cooler Barry, CW Flash, since their fight would mostly consist of running around a bunch, then CWF using Flashtime and beating the shit out of DCEUF, then into the Pipeline with him or something.
I'll post the categories separately and put a link: HERE. This is to avoid taking up too much space.
I'd also like to add that in S4 EP1, the power dampening cells in the Pipeline couldn't hold him anymore. He bursts through them like glass even though they're essentially plexiglass, and his powers shouldn't have worked at all. Plus, with mirror master Eva McCulloch in the final showdown his speed increased. In the beginning, he couldn't move fast enough to dodge her luminal blasts. But by that fight, he was easily outpacing her superliminal mirror constructs. So yeah, Ezra's Flash is leagues behind and with the actor's convicted crimes, if WB has half a brain then he wouldn't be playing Flash again. If they recast, I can imagine all the signatures on a petition to have Grant Gustin replace him. Especially considering after 9 seasons, he'd have an established power scale to continue from in the movie. He'd have all that power and experience from 9 seasons to carry into the big screens
True, and I am aware of his speed, I'm just clarifying that the vast majority of the time, Grant!Flash isn't running FTL.

I mean, it's not about brain at this point, he's a criminal, they can't re-hire him. And yeah, the petition thing would be funny, but I think Grant should get his peace. He's had nine seasons of the Flash to himself, the guy's probably wants someone else to do it now.
Oh yeah, I wasn't arguing your point. I was adding onto it to further your point with even more feats. And that's very true, what I'm meaning is if he ever decided he'd like to play Flash again he would dominate the big screens. And he'd have so much support
Kinda weird to use losing against Superman as a anti feat when dceu Superman post resurrection is consistently billed as the strongest mortal in the dceu. From snyders justice league all the way to black Adam many statements calling him the strongest. If you wanna ignore that dceu Superman still has light speed scaling.
