HalBarry is the slash ship between Hal Jordan and Barry Allen from the DC Comics fandom.
Canon[]
Justice League: War[]
Barry takes out a parademon overwhelming Hal, and while Hal is happy to see him, he's also reluctant to mention Batman's presence. Barry is amazed that Batman is real and races over to introduce himself—Hal argues that he shouldn't bother because he's a 'total tool', but, to Hal's dismay, Batman compliments Barry. Hal retorts that Barry has something on his nose.
Hal tells the others that he 'has a whole universe to protect' so their team is off; Barry offers to work together. Hal asks if Barry can fly into space, and he reminds that they're not friends or a team. Barry doesn't agree. He likes 'being a part of something.' Hal points out that Barry would, and they agree on teaming up solely one-time for occasion.
DC vs. Vampires[]
Hal asks to meet Barry on a beach. Barry arrives early, and to pass the time, he scopes and cleans the area. When Hal finally arrives, Barry reassures that he wasn't late. Hal says the beach looks nice, and jokingly constructs a throne for Barry. Barry decides to one-up him and quickly assembles his own throne.
The two settle down when Hal opens to why he took Barry to a secluded beach; warning that 'something bad is coming.' He says a lot of people they love are going to die, and Barry argues that's not guaranteed. Hal says that it is this time, and asks if anyone has talked to Barry about this; he admits that no one has. Hal presses his friendship with Barry, questioning if he truly trusts him. When Barry answers, he urges more. If something bad happened to him, Barry would be the first by his side. He also wants Barry there when something good happens to him, and 'something' did.
Hal then reveals his fangs and confines Barry to a construct. He informs that he begged his Dark Lord to turn Barry into a vampire—like him—but was denied. Barry's powers could drink the world to death, and Hal knew he was right. Barry tries to vibrate out of his restraints, but Hal wills against it. He pleads with Hal that he isn't being true to himself; Hal rejects and snaps Barry's neck.
Later, Hal grimaces and apologizes with his back turned to Barry's corpse. He concedes that wanted to conquer the world with him.

HalBarry has a decent following in the DC Comics fandom. Being one of the most popular ships specifically for their comic book counterparts. Many fans hopped onto the ship starting with the New 52 Justice League run, but there were still fans before. Most like the ship due to Hal and Barry's close friendship, and how much they mean to each other. Other's just like how genuine their friendship is.
Many HalBarry fans are often searching for "crumbs" in recent years. There was previously many comic issues that depicted the two's relationship, but that started to die down after Rebirth. Many joke that the bar for HalBarry content, is just acknowledging that they're friends. When DC vs Vampires came out, many shippers were both ecstatic and heartbroken. While the HalBarry content was short and resulted in Barry dying, many though it was well written and did a good job showing how important the two are to each other.

Art will sometimes depict Barry as a Lantern alongside Hal. Most commonly a Blue Lantern, the color for hope. HalBarry is often also shipped by SuperBat shippers.
