Why EVERY Villain is Terrified of the Flash (Even Joker) 

It's more like truama counselling each others tale of others encounter with flash😅

he was in the bathroom taking shit

I mean, it's SUCH a good set-up line. @@timexyemerald6290

He was prepping for the reason you suck speech 😂

Yea😂 bro wanted to just hear it

but at the same time the writers do him dirty. comics, cw, and the animated show but ofc they have reasons but they make him look so dumb

@@YkDestiny. Yeah it's tricky to write a character like him where literally nothing but his equal can stop him while also having to give him difficulty. I can only think of a handful of ideas that would be challenging to someone like him, so instead writers just go "Eh idk Deadshot shoots him in the leg, Captain Cold freezes the ground and Flash, who sees everything in slow motion, somehow didn't notice and slips". You'd need him to go up against exclusively God Tier threats to not look totally useless.

Yeah if Flash was really trying the police wouldnt be needed in Central City.

the problem with an overpowered character is always the fact that any lost makes them look beyond stupid, i mean think about it, with Flash's powers he could end most problems before they even come close to getting serious

One of the things about the Rogues to operate in flasher city is they have their own code of honor. They literally do their best not to kill innocent if you're like security or Army then you're in the line of fire and even then up against someone like Captain Cold you're probably find yourself Frozen but not necessarily killed

Forensics is pseudoscience though so it only works within the confines of the universe itself

Complete with being able to think at the speeds required to run as fast as he does. He's probably gone over every detail before you even realize he saw you.

@@KertaDrakeoh yeah it's actually one of the things that DC does really well this one time in Stephanie brown batgirl she was dealing with a dude using a suit to do superspeed but she stopped his plan by disrupting it by a second because he had to pre-plan every action he did at superspeed because the suit didn't make him think faster.

Well the flash in this video is wally who isn't a forensics guy

You forgot that, not me. Barry that is.

i actually like this

Wanna play a game of chess?

more like psychological

Me : words cant make sound Also me.... Hearing the sound when reading E M O T I O N A L D A M A G E

How do you know you have seen a meme far too often? Even while reading you HEAR it in your thoughts :D

The strongest damage indeed

*This* ☝️😂

Depends on the situation, TBH. He doesn't talk with the likes of Joker because it just lets them further their mind games BS. But twoface? Clayface? Baby-Doll? He's talked to them at times. IIRC, he's also chatted with Ivy and Catwoman too, since he doesn't see them as a lost cause. But Joker, or Ras? Talking to them just gives them a chance to get in your head. Flash's rogues gallery is pretty much all at least partly sympathetic and not made up of people playing mind games. Notice Flash didn't talk to Joker, he just got rid of him fast. Only time I've seen Flash 'talk' to Joker is when the punch-line is Flash is too dumb to fall for Joker's mind-games, or he legitimately finds the Joker's antics funny, usually to the detriment of Joker's plan, as he gets distracted clowning for a hero who will laugh at his gags instead of just punch him in the face. But I can't recall him ever trying to have a heart to heart like he does with the Trickster.

It's easy to call the villains monsters (and some of them legit are), but the sad reality is that at the end of the day a good chunk of the majority are just PEOPLE. Joker didn't really get much of a choice since he's literally insane and became that way by accident, and Two-face is also a bit nuts (and so on) but the vast majority of villains are just people that through one method or another gained power or wealth, and then CHOSE their lives of crime. The fact that they chose to do evil also means that they have the potential to live a life of GOOD as well. Flash simply wants to give them that chance. I'm not sure if you've noticed this as you've lived but when you're kind to someone they might not listen to what you have to say or be willing to do you a favor, but if you're rude or outright mean they most definitely won't. Heck, they might even double-down and be even worse next time just to spite you. We see that from time to time with Batman's villains and with Superman's villains and the villains of other beat-em-up heroes. But with Flash, Spiderman, and Static sometimes villains really do clean up their act. Some go back to living 'normal' lives, and others join the ranks of the heroes.

And let's not forget what Bats did for Ace. He'll be there for a villain when needed.

Batman will fuck up the criminal leaders. The underlings? He will literally hire them and pay them well in a position in his company if they want, giving them an opportunity to support themselves without needing to be a criminal. He has no patience for those who do crime just to do it. But those fucked in the socioeconomic system he will gladly help.

@@WorldWalker128 Main continuity Mr. Freeze is reformed, serving his time peacefully in Arkham, those villains that are sent near his cell are afraid of stepping out of line too as he has frozen people that broke Arkham's rules more than once. He has his own lab, and has solved/found cures for several "incurable" diseases while incarcerated there. Giving those cures to Batman who then uses Wayne's company to make and distribute it. Main continuity Ivy no longer fights either. She has a place outside of Gotham that grows extinct plants for use in medicine. Similarly Harley is an Anti-Hero and has recovered part of her original personality. SHE goes against the Joker as often as Batman. Clay Face is a mercenary and contracts as a bodyguard most often and has even given Batman leads on what the League was up to outside of Gotham. Mind you, DC hates allowing Batman's villains to grow so all of it gets retconned within a year by a new author that will listen to demands from on high to bring them back as a bad guy because we can't allow characters to grow. Which is also why then never allow Dick and Cory to stay together and just keep them in this ongoing together/not together/together circle. Marvel has it too, they broke up Peter's happy marriage due to the author and publisher hating MJ at the time of that whole fiasco.

Wally has been like that even before Heroes in Crisis. Even in the late 90s, he has been known to be friendly to his rogues. Hell, he even turned one into a hero (Hartley the Pied Piper)

Yeah, after asking him if he realized he was wearing the suit again. Flash cares about his villains and would much rather them get help and become a productive member of society than wind up locked up forever.

Honestly, considering his powerset, Flash telling me to turn myself in is probably the best thing he could do to me. I'll take that L.

​@@playboydojo Yes, but most villains underestimate him because they just see him as "the guy who runs fast".

​@@collegerebelyea well he does quite often get stopped by people slower than him so.....

@@themanwithnoname1839 Yep. You can blame the writers for that. Damn plot conveniences and contrivances! (Dramatically shaking my fist up in the air)

Yeah I don't buy for a minute he wasn't already there, had a soda and a hotdog, while listening to their story and when the guy ADMITTED to stealing from Central City that's when he knocked. Flash is just that fast and just that trolly.

​@@ShinKyuubinot just a hot dog. 15 of them.

Would have been better if they guy had said I stole this money, then realized the bags were empty and wally was standing there like. "Oh that? Ya I returned it like an hour ago, mind if we have a chat?"

​@@justinc882 and in a single minute all villains went from being concerned to be ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED for their lives confidence and dignity i admit The Flash can be one hell of a horror villain if he wanted to

Of course he was there, we all know The Flash is a comical guy. He's in no rush to catch them. They are all contained, in a place, they can't out run him, they aren't currently doing anything but sitting around. He can chill for a bit. He could even leave them be and come back after stopping some other crimes before they leave most likely.@@ShinKyuubi

yes and no. he's forensics. so not much training on dealing with criminals. as most forensics aren't even involved with day to day handling of criminals.

​@@nadjasunflower1387even forensics are trained with basic cop work.

And it was both Vs

Was thinkin the same thing

For real, me too

Same

Yeah was hoping the video was a lil longer , Flash is no joke , I'm debating if *Condiment King* deserved that or not ? Guess getting drop off at a desert in Africa a lot better then a Prison in DC Universe 🤔

@@joe77andino I guess Flash thought prison was a bit much and felt sorry for him. Afterall it is Condiment King

It's a 3 minute video. Is your attention span that limited?

i mean loki was falling for 30 minutes but it's worse

batman: "say alfred what's that flying towards us?" alfred: "I believe that's the joker sir" batman: "might as well catch him"

@@Blxxdaidenloki is full of mischief, seeing him fall for 30mins is something he would get himself into lmao

@@atari9477 fr lol

@@scantopup2226 flash: Batman, i sent the joker flying towards gotham, idk where he will land soooo take care Batman: wtf

Yeah just like eobard thawne or zoom there are lot of evil speedster we can take example of and yeah even batman or red death that dude just killed every single criminal in his universe 💀

Red Death

give em the ole kano heart pull. phase in hand, grab, pull out heart.

Well yeah Thawne can destroy you in a dozen different ways on his worst day you could literally just wake up and be homeless on a street and you might feel like it was off but you wouldn't know. He could take everything away from you and you wouldn't even know it

I don't know who the artist is for this story, but they managed to make Flash look uncannily terrifying by just drawing him in his usual get up

some reason your sentence made me think Flash caught him because the thief was falling. Id say thats not his personality, but it would be if he let the guy agree to chance just as he hits the ground. But yea, hes more like dead pool in attitude than the other DC heros

"Rodger he brought in another one,so what you in from i got 10 bucks on alleyway robbery?"

Based on how often he does that in the show I believe that

I was wondering where i had heard that voice before! Thank you!

was looking in the comments for this, for sure it was

Me too! Heard the voice and came straight to the comments! How random

Both V's are in there.

@@Carlosh157 Good to know I wasn't the only one who noticed.

yeeeeeeeep

Lmao that was really cold

If that's from the JLU one I'm thinking it is, it was more sympathetically reminding Trickster that he was off his meds again and then promising to play darts (the *soft* kind) with him later, before off-handedly remembering to tell him to turn himself in after he finishes his drink. "Caught me again, Flash!" Probably the best part of that to me was the entire time he was on a first-name basis with the guy.

​@@kiden3112yeah and there were other heroes there with him just wondering if they should do anything or just leave the guy there. It was hilarious 😂

@@rajpalsinghdoad "Don't we need to take him in?" 'Oh yeah.. Hey, once you're done with that drink, why don't you head on down to the precinct and turn yourself in?' "Got me again, Flash!"

What's worse is flash did not even hit him or talk smack he just demanded he give the Loli pop back and the guy was like okay am done with this villain shit lol.

​@nkchipamu625 that guy is mordru the most powerful sorcerer in all of comics he would neg flash

​@@samuraiblack8840apparently not

@forkempty lol apparently is right. No way flash beats anyone who fraction of a power can rip ypu out of a comic. Feats over popularity

@@samuraiblack8840neg a flash that has been nerf by the plot flash alone cant take down half of the bad guys of the planet in 5 minutes

Night city? Isn’t that…

Solo que con los poderes de Superman

We do it's just the tv universe in the CW DC shows where Grant Justin plays the flash He is so popular that the fans want him in the DC movies instead of Erza Miller

This is Wally West. the two live action Flashes are supposed to be Barry Allen.

@@youtubegrowthexpert The Tv show was trash after season 2

yea but instead we got that one who is a child molester, great way to help kill a universe. Not that they needed help. Green lantern was bad but so was the rest of the DC movie universe. But I would rather watch Green lantern ad infinitum, instead of watching flash or aqua man. We should only get stand alone movies to characters we saw in comics. I never saw Aqua man outside the Justice League, and that was because he sucks

it was trash after season 4 ngl @@cajunbatman

So a fast dad?

Nah running doesn’t even matter he just turn back time and stand where they are gonna run to 😂

And of course, everytime you run, also means I'm still getting closer.

Having sex with their moms is trolling, right

@@InnerEaglewho said sex? tf is wrong with you

@@kalebwalker6557 I did say it, it's still an hypotesis plausible If flash has intercourse with the mother of the villain, maybe the villain will never be born...on the other matters... he would be in charge of plenty of kids

Nothing so drastic. Go back in time and preventing their supervillain origins. Imagine saving Harvey Dent before he got scarred or teaching Bane to "just say no".

⁠@@InnerEagleaddict

Comic book flash is on a whole different level. Possessing much greater power than peak animated series flash on any day of the week.

@@davidwilfand916 You mean beyond time and interdimensional travel? Beyond phasing through solid matter?

@@ireallyreallyhategoogle Yes, immeasurable speed feats on the regular. Doesn’t get lost in the speed force just by using it either. On the animated series (which I love) characters are much weaker on average than their comic book counterparts.

@@ireallyreallyhategoogle I mean, in this comic alone Flash casually runs to the end of the universe and through dimensions just to get a little girls lollipop back.

@@davidwilfand916 I don't remember The Flash getting lost in the speed force. With Luthor, he went so fast that he nearly became one with the speed force, that's not getting lost.

But the Flash is so underpowered in the TV Series, compared to, just about every other source.

But in the show he was just learning how to use his Powers. As time went on he got better.

​@@Thurgosh_OGHis power fluctuated in a really bizarre way. The most obnoxious thing was him letting non speedsters run away from him. I think Young Justice handled this better with the original Kid Flash. He's inexperienced and not nearly as fast as The Flash. He's mostly beaten in fights that feel relatively realistic for the power he is shown to have.

@@davidporter9553 He stops time or at least comes very close to in like the first episode. After that he's nerfed and makes some of the most stupidest decisions. There is no way you can say he was learning when he could stop a bullet but not catch the non-speedsters.

That's the big problem about the CW adaption's Flash. His personality is comic accurate, but the reason comic Flash is chill towards his villains and tries reasoning with them is because his insane reaction speed puts him in full control of the situation and doesn't get blindsided by a normal-speed criminal. It's why Madvocate hates how he zooms into the scene and stops to talk, because he might as well knock the bad guy out immediately if he's gonna be caught off guard so easily

I would say your opinion is scarier than anything.

The nose bridge, yeah. It looks ugly on Flash. Yellowjacket, too. It only works for Batman.

I like it. Makes him look like Daredevil

Now I’m trying to see the Flash without the nose and it just looks completely awfully weird

I like it. It gives Wally something other than the lenses. Especially after Barry stole his V belt.

Bye bye 🤫🧏

I see what you did there

This would make sense canonically considering how stupid fast the Flash is, he was probably already done with the other stuff and just stood there listening to them talk

​@@mercurii777and get bored, then find something else to do before coming back again

i could hear megaminds voice

"Oh you're a hero alright, but not a super one." "What's the difference?" "PRESENTATION!"

It's actually Barry Allen I think as if this comic take place after Wally decide to operate in Keystone then it's Barry.

​@@KingOfYamimakainah, it's Wally

@@santiagodiaz3358 Ah so the comic take place before Wally moved to Keystone.

​@@KingOfYamimakaithe mask with white eyes is Wally thing

​@@KingOfYamimakaiNope, Wally is the Flash now. Barry went to another dimension or some other stupid shit (thankfully)

Even worse. He could put them on another planet or throw them in a different reality. Can't come back to Central City after that.

If he was cruel, you say? You mean like leaving someone in the middle of a desert, so isolated that it took a year to get back?

@@Bob-qz3tm Condiment King's life wasn't in serious danger if someone so "badass" like him can save himself...leaving someone in a truly unhospitable environment with no hope of surviving nor rescue would be cruel.

​@@Bob-qz3tmhe has ketcup, mayo, and the likes! No way he gonna drop dead like just in 3 days in the desert, he'll survive

@@gponce1717 you have a point lmao

Basically joker meets a nice fast person who cannot get killed by his traps and always laughs or wise cracks. Aka a clown's worst enemy a (in villain's and some heroe's eye) bigger more obnoxious party pooper clown 😂

The clown got clowned

@@newturtle3 That's How Terry McGuinness Batman defeated him in the end.

@@AndrewTaylorNintyuk which makes perfect sense since Joker has always been a complete opposite of Batman on all fronts, personality included. Bruce was serious and stoic 100% of time while wearing black and grey suit. Meanwhile Joker always talks and makes jokes while being dressed as a literal clown. So he was fighting Terry as if he would fight Batman in his years. But Terry has a completely different personality - he's a wise-cracking quipper who is actually really close in that regard to Spiderman of all people. And it has thrown the Joker completely out of the loop because he can't handle someone who can actually troll him back.

@@BadassHater1 Yep. I'm sure Terry would get along quite well with both Peter & Miles. And all three of them would easily be Joker's worst nightmare. Especially the two Spideys as nothing Joker tried would work against them (spider sense would warn them long before they were ever in actual danger thanks to their absurd reflexes and speed)....and they'd likely wrap him up in webbing and just hang him in the most humiliating position possible for the Police (or Batman) to pick up later.

I see what you did there

He didn’t have to do him like that!😂

Yea, it is funny but man. This is so cruel. This dude just wanted to ketchup everything around

Right, and you know those condiments got hot and sticky....pause lol.

He is just a guy how throws letchup at people and then he just gets dragged to the desert

Imagine all your expensive remote-control tanks just falling apart, with all the bolts neatly lined up on the sidewalk.

@@stevenscott2136 Lol the flash on meth taking everything apart and not putting it together again

No, he sensed and duplicated the frequency-shift.

@@AlexandreLima-yu5jh he could do that? Dang Flash was basically playing tag with him

The Flash can do Many many things as long as the writers freaking let him.

That's why we need to kill and kill him more!

You do know mordru would neg flash right

not in this comic @@samuraiblack8840

@marielosvindas1247 lmao uhh no.

@@pandaasx now they just need Johnny

Legit just was playing phantom Liberty and this was the first vid on my shorts list I thought I entered the matrix

Bats and Flash both have the 'All criminals can be reformed' thing going. Flash has the care and time to follow up with them and be invested in them. He also has the superpowers to stop them with less collateral damage. Bats just beats the hell out of them and throws them in Arkham. If Bats wasn't on his vengeance kick, he could probably rehabilitate most of his criminals.

​@@Kururugi0 I always wonder why he doesn't just buy Ivy a plane ticket to the Amazon rain forest. Gigatons of plant life, hardly any people -- she'll probably solve the atmospheric CO2 problem just playing around.

@@stevenscott2136 I would guess he doesn't trust her enough to not get greedy. Can't imagine she wouldn't get immensely powerful playing in the Amazon for a while. Power lust to turn that onto civilization. As a whole, Ivy could be reformed though.

@@BuetifullPersun yes. Batman is a clown loving psychopath.

@@stevenscott2136 Giving Ivy access to all that ecosphere... Who knows what kind of toxin or super tree kaiju she'd create on her own?

Maybe he wanted to give him the first and last harsh lesson before he would do anything stupid, so he would never turn to crime ever again. And his journey back home would be some kind of path to redemption or similar, especially how he would have met other people in worse situations living their lives normally. Otherwise, Flash would just drop him at the police station and the crime cycle would continue.

@@coutou5302That's a possibility but I'm not sure if everyone would agree with that method of trying to stop crime especially a guy considered a joke by pretty much everybody.

@@jonathanbarr9764 It all starts harmlessly until there is no coming back. Plus Flash would know by checking on him. My guess is either Condiment King has some sort of survival training (unlikely or he just passed on his own condiments) or Flash came back to help him on his journey while teaching him more about the world. It's the villain's rumours side so other things may have happened. One year to get back home seems a bit too much, maybe he stayed in a village and reflected on his actions.

Well he is the condiment king so he will always have ketchup.

Condiment king had food, hes the condiment king.

It's quite the opposite, Reverse Flash cares a lot about the Flash and has dedicated his entire life to ruining the Flash's life.

Eobard isn't really "hate" barry. He's actually a big fan of him. He just had it twisted and become the villain for Barry.

Your comment just make me respecting Reverse Flash ...

​@@ReigoVassallike an obsessive fan tbh, wanting to be in every part of your idol's life, scary.

That’s like praising your favorite athlete only to find out, they are your number one competitor

Reverse Flash?

Imagine being by literally anything moving at the speed of light. It could be a pebble.

plastic man is the strongest hero in justice league and maybe martian manhunter

Because if they had him at full power all the time the story would be over within a page.

@@misterboxhead3045plastic is not the strongest, superman could just melt him with his heat vision, besides plastic man has no way of killing supes, he cant get into his body the way he did with flash because if the electromagnetic field in his body,

He could be the deadliest assassin if they let him be, Superman and Martian Manhunter are very fast and strong but the flash is faster than all of them. His infinite mass punch or just vibrating through someone and dissolving their body into dispersed matter could easily kill the greatest heroes and villains in a fraction of a second. He's nice, but that's a courtesy. Flash could be an unkillable menace if he chose to, he could even do the Dr. Strange/Kang the conqueror thing where multiple different versions of him from the time stream keep coming back to kill you if you find a way to kill him, that's literally what Reverse Flash does.

There's a really great Ghost Rider story where he saves a blind boy at Christmas and the boy mistakes him for Santa Clause. It was in one of those extra fat special issues, early 90s, I guess.

@@Wix_Mitwirth I'll check it out!

Really great video!!!

I want to make this clear mordru absolutely negs flash lol

@samuraiblack8840 not in this story🤣, but yeah, mordru is op.

A red blurry fast blob that takes you out before you have time to react. Where have i heard that before?

"It was me Barry!"

from a science stand point if you could harness infinite velocity like that, you would be able to do a lot of things. i’m not surprised even given the fact it’s all fiction

Wait till you hear about plastic man and any superhero that can stretch or morph. P much same energy as flash. No surprise most love to crack jokes since they're so powerful it's all a game to them.

Just a speedster? Speed is the most op power there is.

I tought the same.
