Why Everyone Loves The Flash 

Batman is really respectful of that sort of thing. It helps that its his rule as well. "Dont come to gotham and interfere without being invited and we do things my way here." So yeah, he is going to give the same respect to his fellows who make it clear they have their own way to handle things in their turf.

@@chrishubbard64 the funny part even the green lantern are pretty much you know what listen to this fucker

Also, Batman does the same thing. Batman believes in the system, the system is just broken at the moment in Gotham.

​@@chrishubbard64 Batman knows that every Rogues follows their own rules

He's an original 7 member for a reason. Batman pretty much never tries to pull rank with the 7

Holy shit. Mark Twain in the chat. That slaps hard.

Indeed

freaking BEAUTIFUL.... actually made me choke up a little XD

Damn. Poetic

No better way describe the flash

heck, in the comics he once doubted if he will ever be as good as Barry after his death in the Infinite Crisis arch Wally deeply looked up to him

he. ever actually worked as one, he did a slew of jobs like mechanic and organ transplant courier but never a forensic scientist like that

​@@granmastersword To Wally's credit, he _is_ good at being a hero. But it doesn't matter how fast or powerful he is. He'll _never_ be Barry.

@@joeleboeuf Yeah, he's even better. A Wally.

​@ihatefridays2715 And yet, the writers at DC always find some way to screw him over.

This is those kind of moments that makes me love the flash. Not the multiversial events, not the big story involving time travel, but the moments where we see what makes him a hero. He understands who he is fighting, and tries to help them as much as he can.

And he looked so happy just to have someone that wants to spend time with him. 🥺

Central City as superhero cities go, is pretty wholesome, even the Flash's Rogue's are an oddly principled supervillain group, having a no-kill ethic.

Wouldn’t say he’s not a threat considering he acquired potent acid for a snot gun but he’s one of the villains that can be talked down into not even firing a shot

@@Xeno-The-Wanderer This is part of why flash is an incredible superhero, he can and will stop people without violence. Central city was many time said to be a utopia, cause flash is the perfect superhero to stop crime effectively.

At some point of the 2000s before Barry Allen's story was changed to add that tragedy of his mother dying, Bruce on a confidential archive about the League he stated "Barry Allen is the kind of man I would had become if my parents weren't killed" or something like that.

Considering his inspiration of an ideal hero is Zoro. Yeah, I can totally see that.

@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 Wouldn't it be wally? both of Berries parents are dead

@@seamus8695 again *before Barry's story was changed to add that tragedy*

@@seamus8695 Barry's parents were alive in the comics until Flashpoint (2011). Reverse Flash went back in time and killed Barry's mom and framed his dad for her murder. When Barry tried to go back in time to save his mom it caused the Flashpoint timeline, so Barry just had to accept his mom being dead.

And how the alternate Batman rushed to save him when he thought his heart stopped

*Neutral fascists authoritarian. Batman👿🦇🌑,Martian Manhunter👿🐉🌑 and Green Lantern👿🖤💚🌑 are Dark. Dark doesn't equate evil, The Justice Lords are an evil Justice League from another reality

@@nkemnoraulmanfredini7286 I don't think "fascist" means what you think it means. Or "authoritarian." On a tangential note, Renegade Cut once described Batman, as seen in The Dark Knight, as a depiction of fascism. That was the moment I knew he was off his nut.

@@SaltpeterTaffy Very few people that use the word Fascist actually know the meaning. Though the use of fear as a means of control is part of Fascism, just not the only one.

My mom had it. It takes incredible patience to deal with it in someone else. I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be for the one suffering it.

I imagine it's a mix between genuine insanity and a little bit of dementia thrown in

My grandma didn't had dementia, but she did ended up with Alzheimer, which ends up being almost the same in a way, it was hard for me, specially because I was quite young back then, like fourteen or fifth teen, she died like 2 years ago, I had to muster the calmness I never had and sometimes didn't had the energy to do, I was almost alone dealing with her since my brothers and sister weren't almost in home, my mom was working so, it was up to me, she got to live COVID up until the situation stabilize, and still I couldn't see her on the hospital or open the coffin to hold her hand, it was sad, it left a void on me, and honestly I don't think I have resolved it yet, but I'm working on it and I think I'm better. I do understand flash and you guys, and I want to say to you all that you are strong willed and wonderful, keep doing what you do and live good

I believe it's implied to be bipolar disorder. The "You're off you're meds again"/"I take em if I start feeling down"/" You know that's not how the medicine works" part refers to a common problem that some bipolar folks struggle to stay on thier medication during mania because, unlike depression, mania feels good and they're losing thier ability for self control. And the "James, you're wearing the suit again"/"I am? Well what do ya know." and the sudden switch to wanting to play darts point towards manic psychosis where they can start losing touch with reality when the mania isn't being treated.

It's people like you who I really respect. People who's willing to spend their whole working carrier taking care of the weakest in society with little to no reward other then the experience itself. My older cousin takes care of mentally and physically incapable, the kinds who's got no future life of their own, and she does it with stride. She and you got one hell of a heart

The live action one?

And In the CW Flash TV show

He actually played all the tricksters

@@alkissakoulis782 Not all of them. There were two Tricksters on the CW show. James Jeese was the old one played by Hamill.

I know his job is just a forensic scientist but that job still probably includes some knowledge of mental illnesses (figuring out what a person might have done)

so if this follows the comics for powers, all the speedsters can read a whole like 500 page book in a second. if this Flash can do this too then it's not a far strech that he knows all about his villains and what he can do help them. same with the civys of his town.

"i am? well whaddya know..."

Also, it makes Flash sound like a caring mom lol 😂🥰

Batman knows all of his villains names, even the Joker in some interpretations of the character, and he does a lot to help, even if he does it as Bruce Wayne.

Especially after that brush with Dr. Destiny where its revealed his big fear is being too fast he is left all alone.

Some people just like the simple stuff.

Doesnt happen like that anymore. Speed Forces matches him to people but also kicks in like a sort of spider sense when something is moving a certain speed or higher to him. So like talking to normal people is fine but if a gun is shot near him time slows down to a crawl for him.

@@ZigealFaust that feels.. kinda stupid.

@@randomthings8732 welcome to the DC Universe.

I never believed BATMAN of all people respect the Flash until I watched this episode.😊

​@@theempireeofficial3935 that's why JLU is arguably the best version of Batman

also because batman would love to see any of his villains getting psychiatric treatment. Imagine what the right medication could do for... ... actually I guess the only one with a flat-out chemical imbalance is the joker, and obviously that's not going to be as easy as trying different meds til you get one that works. even IF you could trust he wasn't messing with you to skew the results, his physiology is surely going to play frustrate-the-monkey with any drugs. I guess The Ventriloquist is Batman's Trickster. He cares about the guy and wants him to get help, because he's just about the most straightforward cracked one of them. most of them just need someone to be nice to them, or to get a better therapist. or in Ivy's case, she just needs a good man to take charge.

You talking about Kite Man with Ivy, or did she have a good guy in JLU?

I know it's not Wally, but one of my favorite scenes in any form is media is when Barry gives Batman the letter from Thomas Wayne. Even Thomas Wayne respects the Flash

Trickster being legitimately sick in the show is kind of heartbreaking. In a kids show where heroes punish bad guys and the day ends on a good note you still realise guys like the trickster exist in a person hell of either delusion or impulsiveness. Or whatever the hell I'm trying to say but from a much more analytical standpoint. Do we even know what Illness the trickster has?

Eh. I disagree. Batman needs the fear and mystique his reputation gives him. Otherwise, he'd just be a guy in a batsuit and criminals would just realize that he can't be everywhere at once. I do agree that Flash and Superman are Batman's "'ideal" superheroes though.

Damn, the fact that Bruce admires Wally’s optimism, sense of empathy alongside his fun and easygoing persona that much really is groundbreaking

@@hamizanyunos1502 which is ironic since wally mother was murdered, by on of hus future rogues and even in that time line Flash is stillpretty upbeat

Your quote is correct, however I think there's an error here. I'm a big Wally fan boy, and I think he's a better character for me than Barry, but I'm fairly certain this was in reference to Barry Allen as he also noted his respect for his forensics and analytical skills in their teamups. Barry had a similar, if not more horrifying tragedy plagued upon him and despite that he didn't lose hope and became hope for others. More than anything, he lives by his words of every second being a gift, not just for him but for others. Batman's crusade is for vengeance and primarily instilling fear to stop criminals from rising to a fanatical and religious degree. Barry's mission is moreso focused on saving people and even attempting to understand and be sympathetic towards his villains which Batman can do like in the case of Mr. Freeze, but it's not something innate to him because of his darkness. "Keep moving, even if your path isn’t lit. Trust that you'll find your way." - Barry

@@CuppaLLX that was barry wally uncle

​@@frankspick7544 actually, I think that they hinted that Wally took that part of Barry's backstory in the show, in addition to his job and some major parts of his personality.

so nightwing

@@TsukasaF4 damn I can see why nightwing and Wally Flash are best friends and so called brothers now.

@@TsukasaF4 based observation

well said, he admires him because he gets it done without using fear and also helps them with rehabilitation

That does explain why Batman takes to Flash quicker than the others of the League. Also why most iterations also have Batman take Flash under his wing, like the Justice League movie. Flash is living out what Batman wanted to live out, but couldn't due to what happened in his own life.

Honestly, I see it the other way around. Yes, his super-speed allows him to incorporate a lot of info in no time, but said info doesn't stick (short term memory or something) and is forgotten quickly. I see this as Wally not remembering because of his superpowers, but because he makes the active effort to do so, giving it even more weight.

not just that, the point of divergence between the justice league and the justice lords was the flash being executed by lex luthor. the flash dying was the turning point where everything went wrong. really shows what a grounding influence wally was for the league

I like to think that there are two specific reasons Batman likes the flash so much Firstly, Flash is the most honest and fourth coming of all the hero’s. He hides nothing because he has nothing to hide. While the Bat gets along with all hero’s and even sees Supes as his best friend (even if he would never admit to it) he always has to be careful around them, they all have things they hide from the world and themselves. Which means Batman can’t relax. While with the Flash there is no need for that. He can be as direct and open as he wants. And secondly, while Supes is the ultimate symbol of self sacrifice for good a hero should be, the Flash is the kind of person Batman wants to be. Open, friendly, everyone’s best friend. He’s jealous of Walley for being better at reading social situations but still happy to have him around (even if no alternate universe exists, where he will admit to that)

@@beneko1127 He sure is Because he’s not an over the top, larger than life symbol like Superman, a fear-inducing legend like Batman or the rest of unreachable paragons the rest of the Justice League is to their individual cities and the rest of the world Instead he’s a best friend who just so happens to have superpowers, but they aren’t his one defining characteristic like the rest His funny, kind and optimistic personality is

@@frankwest5388 Yeah, Bruce likes Wally due to all that but also for something else Canonically, Wally’s the youngest member of the league which would explain his hopeful view of the world He isn’t a battle-hardened, bitter adult like Batman and most of the other leaguers are Wally is just a kid who has the selfless desire of try to make the world a better place In some way, Bruce is jealous but also happy that Wally has the childhood innocence and hopefulness that he lost

That freakout was on the level you could expect from Bats of it had been Alfred, one of the Robins, or Batgirl flatlining. He’d rush to any JL’s member’s aid, but few people would make him so reckless.

@Vathorean This is sad because I've seen this episode numerous times and I didn't notice that detail until I read your comment. A tiny detail that says a lot about Batman's character and I being a Batman fan missed it for years! Dx

Also because I'm sure he's tired as hell of hearing the Joker ramble about the whole "you only need a bad day"

he does!!! and it's sooo sweet and wholesome!!

And even if it didn't work it would've been fun to watch.

Well he did manage to hack the planet destroying weapons Akropolis(Orions homeworld) has and also that his father (Darkside) actually surrendered after Batman revealed this ought not put fear into one’s heart if they’re looking at you in an upset manner

As long as he is*

@@sickenchandwichYT sorry my bad im dyslexic

Agreed

@@heavenseal6220 when the cops came over to ask him questions the sonic theme came on HIS THE FASTEST THING ALIVE HIS THE FASTEST THING ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most villains don't even want to destroy him. If given a shot at it, half of his cast of rogues would not kill him.

Shit your right, now that I think about it the majority of villains that ever tried to straight up kill him were apart of another hero’s rogues gallery.

@@_dragonstorm_2635 that or straight up maniacs.

There’s actually a comic about how most of Flash’s rogues know there’s an unspoken rule where they don’t take it too far. They’re professional thieves and know that as long as they don’t put civilians in too much danger or go for the kill that they Flash considers them more a minor rivalry and will drop them off at the police station at worst. As long as they don’t cross the line, it’s just business as usual.

I think that there's a comic called Rogues Revenge where the Rogues go after someone who DID cross the line, right?@@Lowkeylie

Or when you don't wanna do something, and she just looks at you with with a pleading yet firm stare

Or dad cuz man. When I felt I let him down, it hurt. Especially considering I had two older sisters

Big “Im not mad, I’m just disappointed” energy.

Batman is the mom friend of the JL

Only one who is practically immune to the Batman stare is alfred If anything he actually has a perfect way to Counteract against the stair

Bonus points to that little batman smile when Wally says that. The DCAU and the little details, they trully were masters of the craft.

​@@irmiwolfthat's very funny tbh. But those Villians were being bad boys so they all deserve a super speed spanking 😂

@@jeanremi8384 But improvement *is* possible, and you can take content in that.

@@granda3649 nope, i don't

I remember when I got my dream job as a head chef and got my own apartment I was chilling in life so happy, I was content. I was in the elevator with a coworker. She realized how chill I was, told her why, her response “You just content with life right now.” Gave me a stare and later that night she came over. We hooked up

Being content is such a double edged sword though. Like we see Barry trying to worry about the villani anoyher day, they arent going to stop their plans. Theres something to be said about being content about *certain* things but still staying proactive in your goals and challenges in life

Its small touches like these that show the love and care the creators had

My favorite part about the glass of milk for the ulcer is that the order comes in right after that villain just referred to himself and the others as the hardest men in crime.

I have to agree. It gives them each individuality, that spark of humanity.

That's what makes Flash's rogues special. They have powers but they're not psychopaths with plans for world domination. They're just blue-collar crooks with that extra oomph. It helps keep them down to earth.

I don't know who else noticed, but Trickster after opening his straw places it down on his crotch and just stares at it.

Well that's what being a hero is. Just helping however you can because you can and it's the right thing to do.

You know what else helps a person hear the Flash when he talks to them? Driving at a safe and even slow speed, further decreasing the accident rate!

Flash's mindset on hero work is a very Christian way of thinking. From the book of Luke, chapter 6: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. [...] Do to others as you would have them do to you. [...] If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. [...] But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Flash knows that justice is no good without mercy. So he offers mercy until it is rejected, and then metes out justice as required to "save the day". No more, no less. Flash is the opposite of a vindictive person. He's a person that sees the best in others, even if they don't see it in themselves.

@@ohiorushbaby he's a true hero imo. and it's hard to have that mind set. to not be vindictive sometimes. I also feel it's a value many these days hate in people to see the best in others. Trust me on that it's a value i try to hold and it's not good. I'm not a Christian but yeah Jesus is a great example to follow so is the flash. The flash is a Christian in the DCAU btw

Of course you would. (Kinda of crazy how similar Naruto and DCAU Flash is)

@@user-zv9es6so8u ikr. I think that's what makes them lovable but also misunderstood by many people who aren't soft hearted

Which makes perfect sense from a personal angle. I'm scared of severe storms because I got seperated from my parents at a softball game when a twister touched down. I'm also an aracnaphob. Just something about the buggers always gets me. I also hate needles but as long as I don't have to see them (and they aren't anywhere near my feet) I'm OK.

He just petter Parker of dc

@@memesfromdeepspace1075 nope petter is miserable being spiderman spiderman has always been a burden for him His constant jokes and attitude are nothing more than a facade that he puts up to silence his doubts and insecurities. His life is almost always better when he's not Spider-Man. While Flash really loves what he does and this not only does not prevent him from being happy but it complements his happiness.

​​​@@MrMUERETECTMVery true. Both are relatable jokesters but while Peter and his situation feels depressing and his hero work a burdensome duty (the sad reality of "you can't have it all), Flash as a whole gives me hope. Hope for humanity, hope for heroes, hope that there is someone out there that cares the way he does and can make that difference and that I can do that too. The JLU version at least.

which makes his fate in kingdom come all the more depressing. Homeboy was stuck on a different dimensional plane and slowing down his vibrations long enough to have a 2-minute conversation was mentally exhausting.

The best part of it is that you know for a fact that Wally went and played darts with him. He went through and fit it in to do so, even if he had to put off painting that fence another weekend, and that you know that Mrs. Grain will be okay with that because she knows he's a busy hero, but that it will eventually get done. You just know, because that's the kind of guy he is.

A quote that I saw in Lego Ninjago which still stands strong with me today despite its origin is "The Best way to defeat your enemy is to make them your friend." This is exactly why I like that quote and why I love this episode.

i love the fact makr hamil is the trickster in the cw, i love his character voices and personalities.

@@eloilopes - Mark Hamill was the Trickster waaay before the CW Flash, he was already playing James Jesse in the 1990 CBS Flash show... him playing the Trickster again was a callback to that one.

Totally agree, an awesome episode. And it was great how the voice actors stayed consistent - Wally's voice actor spoke as Lex Luthor in Wally's body and Lex's actor spoke as Wally in Lex's body. And I also loved that they displayed the absolutely insane destructive levels of Wally's powers and mentioned that he actively holds back his full strength to avoid harming allies or innocents. I think it also shows that his greatest asset as a superhero isn't his superhuman abilities but his compassion and empathy

@@WahWhoopie which was the first i saw his voice without a dub and was like "is he the joker in arkham ?" and discovered that he didnt vanish from the world after star wars, but became a voice actor

The best animated Mark Hamill moment is when Mark Hamill gets kidnapped by The Trickster and The Joker, only to be saved by Swamp Thing, while learning that Mark was famous for a movie about a young man who fights impossible odds to fulfill his destiny... Corvette Summer.

It’s also the job of his mentor and predecessor Barry, maybe as a nodd.

Nah they just gave him Barry Allen’s job

For some reason the DCAU liked to give the legacy heroes their predecessor’s origins. Wally had Barry’s origin and Kyle had Hal’s origin.

real

I used to be a huge flash fan and i was almost a victim of murder 2 times and man, i thank God for letting those people see the light of reason when i tried to talk them down. So in a sense, i am alive because the flash taught me that certain criminals can be talked down.

it's cool how even the villains just chill and talk with the flash, with the others they'd tense and become defensive, but with wally they open up. it's a really powerful ability tbh. the flash, wally, truly is the heart of the group.

@@davidburnett5049 The problem, however, is that when 99% of your interactions with criminals (and yes, I'm using the classic definition of _"if you're committing a crime then you're criminal scum"_ here) are potentially life-threatening interactions to yourself and innocent bystanders (who don't have the common sense to get the bloody hell away from potentially violent situations), then you're not going to put your life and the lives of the people around you at risk for that 1% who can be talked down. It's not their job to do so, either. The police are there to enforce the laws we as the public decide on together, and to protect the public from those who would break said laws. It's up to the courts to decide if the criminal scum arrested by the police are actually innocent, if they deserve mental treatment, if they deserve lock-up, or if they deserve to ride the lightning. That is where America, and many European countries, have _utterly failed._ Corrupt politicians tie the hands of the police with inane and life-endangering policies. District Attorneys who refuse to prosecute criminal scum, telling the police to not bother arresting these criminals, while instead prosecuting political opponents or people who will get their face on TV on often trumped-up charges as they know people will always remember the immediate headline but never recall the end result. People they then manipulate to become the next corrupt politician. _"But ChaoticHoooolyyy!!!!"_ you may whine. _"What about police profi-'_ Gee, I wonder why the police do that. I mean, it's such a puzzle. After all, why would the police treat certain types of people a certain way when these certain people are, per crime statistics, roughly 90% of the criminal scum the police come across and, of those, are the ones to result in a life-threatening/violent interaction 96% of the time? It's such a mystery. A total enigma. (And for those itching to hit the "Report" button, take a good, hard look at what I wrote. Quote me every time I mentioned those criminal *_Martians._* Oh, what's that you say? You thought I was talking about some other group? Well pull-up a couch, lie down, and tell us all why your mind immediately thought of the people it did...)

Well put! I really hate what they've done to Wally in the current continuity.

Those two concepts aren't mutually exclusive.

i love the flash for the reason you have mentioned. really it takes immense inner strength to be like the flash. i love spiderman too as he is similar to the flash but yes he is very grief and trauma driven, making him more like the flash + the bats actually 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love how his solution to defeating luther was just spin around the world fast and hit him as hard as possible while risk of being vaporized. Flash could've probably put a dent in superman if his fist would survive the toughness of his skin.

Im a huge Barry fan but i agree 100%. When he came back i really wish they would have just given each their own comic. Like batman and superman both have their own named series and their Detective/Action comics prints they could have had a Flash series and idk "The Fastest Man Alive" or something. And sure they could switch off every now and then based on what was going on. Instead they went "Hey were bringing back that guy you all liked. Hes a murderer now. Bye."

A lot of people say that they brought back Wally and made him a murderer, completely missing the point of that story, with Wally having a sever case of PTSD that made him lose control (he lost everything and almost nobody remembered him, his Kids were even erased..). In the same story he leaked the heroes confessions(to Lois lane..so no problems with secret identities) to let everyone see that even them need help, and are not perfect, so that maybe someone that was scared to ask for help was inspired to do the opposite, because Wally didnt wanted anyone to feel alone like him. He later even redeemed himself fixing some of the mess done by flashpoint using the mobius chair. But no, all people say is that they made him a murderer..sure.

I just want Barry done right for a proper live action torch passing from one Flash to the next

Superman is right up there with Flash on how kind he is. The reason we don't get to see those moments is because he's more often than not fighting some world conqueror or destroyer, but otherwise Supes is a golden retriever in terms of personality...

Also shazam but thats because he is a kid at heart and irl lol

Bruce and Clark is also a good one Also Wonderbat is best hero ship

@@NinetyLegos I imagine the quote speaks for itself here: "I'm a rich kid with issues. A lot of issues."

The bathroom scenes had me dying of laughter too. Simple yet effective. Flash pointing out next level villany xd And lex luthor probably not caring enough to realize someone who isn't as much a threat as 2 aliens / demi gods or rich geniuses.

Was hoping someone else remembered. There's also a fun episode of Justice League Action where Joker and Trickster, both still voiced by Hamill, decide to kidnap Mark Hamill, who is saved by Swamp Thing...who in that show is voiced by Mark Hamill.

I was looking for this comment! Yeah he was great in live action.

-You beat me to it! Good on you, mate.

Or the fact that Mark Hamill played the Trickster(yea for 1990's live action the Flash) before he voiced the Joker,

Came here for this.

Must be one of the bigger reasons why Batman respects him, especially because how much it rings true for the caped crusader

i just love the way he says you've been off your medications havent you? he doesnt sounds like a hero, he soulds like a friend who is exasperated that his friend is not taking proper care of himself like

Eh I got the "Who said I was aiming for you?" kinda vibes

He was never written out of existence, it was just a matter of time before he came back. Which he did. From my pov the New 52 only brought out the worst in comic book readers. Pretty much like Marvels "all new all different" line at the time.

​@@gameguy1337 he was almost. They wanted to make Irish and Wally a whole new character. One of the reason was because they already infused the old Wally character into new Barry, because when he came back from the dead they realized that Wally was much more popular and well liked than the serious old Barry. But at the end they renamed this new Wally as Wallace, a completely new character, and get Wally back.

@@gameguy1337 Don't bullshit yourself because you're not bullshit us. He was written out of existance. Initially, Ace "was" Wally. Except with none of the traits Wally had other than family connections, and I am not talking about appearance, and without any of his long history in comics, i.e. he was an entirely different character that just shared the name and was intended as the replacement. That was the intention, but they did pedal back when the massive negative feedback hit.

@louisvictor3473 Remember when I said the new 52 brought out the worst aspects of comic fans? This reply is that. I am happy to say I am wrong but the anger is unwarranted.

@@gameguy1337 What anger?

The guy on the left isn't Firefly. Everyone else in the bar is a flash villain and that's not the dcau firefly design. It has to be someone else. I forgot who though

It's Mister Element (a copycat of Dr. Alchemy), Fiddler is the one slumped (asleep?). Abra Kadabra is sitting with Turtle, and the Top entered together with Weather Wizard. Pied Piper also shows up, but I think it was only in the second scene at the bar. It really is a cavalcade of Flash rogues. And at the crime lab, I'm sure everyone should have recognized by now who Wally's boss resembles.

I'm not sure how Mister Element and Doctor Alchemy could be in the same place. Consider they're the same guy. Multiple personalities and such.

@@stwilson3550 yes but eventually Al Desmond became two people. Albert and Alvin. Evil twin and all. It was revealed that Alvin was a subconscious creation of Albert after he gave up his criminal life. Albert put on the Mr. Element Suit once again to take down Alvin.

@@Superlad945 you change the past *ONE* time and it's "don't time travel, Barry" or "Dammit Barry, did you change the timeline again?!" every time things get weird. It's enough to make a guy want to go back in time and stop himself from changing the past...

Yeah like the video tapes of people saying why they did what they did is just so sad one time there was a tape where a guy said he was so full of rage he would pass out and someone would be dead

Ive seen stories about people who get caught in the loop where they get jailed and since nobody gives them a chance they are forced into darker paths, where a single chance changes their life.

I mean the whole reason the justice lords happened was because of the Flash dying.

He was their heart and conscience. He kept them grounded.

Superman is also a friend with powers. The Flash is just a younger, nerdier, and grounded version of Superman.

@@theirongiants missed the entire comment I wrote and it's meaning. Please read it again and see the justice league from batman tas to batman beyond and you'll understand the difference between superman and flash and how people see them.

Superman is a friend too.

@@shepherdofthewest4216 missed everything I said? Watch the show and then say it again knowing it's wrong. Superman is an icon before a friend. Flash is a friend before an icon. Sorry for spoiling something everyone knows

Patriot Act.

@@Beohunthank you

add to that, Flash's joker (the trickster) was easily dealt with, I feel like Batman respects that the Flash could avoid what is happening in Gotham.
