one of the Flashes had a museum where he kept all his bad guys, frozen in a moment in time and unable to act, but aware of everything going on around them
the Flash is not like other 'heroes'
the Flash will take your children from you just because he can
Read flashpoint(not the event, the elseworld), it would end with some villain having a plan to frick him like using JFK assassination attempt to shoot him while he was saving the prez
Is hilarious how King hate Flash and Guy so much that he felt that he need to show that his catmommy and bryce are the best
out of context. The flash and Alfred are under mind control, Bruce was going to knock out Alfred, but the controller (poison ivy) used Barry as a barrier. hence the "would you like to try again?" (still punching a mind controlled Alfred seems a bit much, but, ya know, comics.
Because he is lazy or too stupid to use his powers at its full potential. The same way Control Freak from Teen Titans does not summon a monster/villain canonically inmortal to defeat the heroes. It's the "Hol Horse effect" all over again
Because 99% of the time in the comics he's a street level jobber. Just because he, once in a blue moon, gets a You Say Run moment doesn't mean that he's consistently this strong and can kill everyone on Earth in less than a second.
>Because 99% of the time in the comics he's a street level jobber
The guy that had a African gorilla or guys from the future isn't a street level hero.
Is like saying Hal or Zatara were Street Level because Black hand.
And Hal felt more like a jobber , his early issues were him being clumsy
Most of the time everyone in Marvel/DC is a street level hero. There are a frickton of moments where Superman getting koed by a gasoline explosion, Ghost Rider potentially dying to a speeding train, Thor getting hurt by Fortnite characters (which is canon btw) etc.. it's easier to write stories about street guys I guess.
>And Hal felt more like a jobber , his early issues were him being clumsy
Considering the amount of head trauma Hal gets, it's a miracle he can even walk at all.
That seems sketchy with Thawne running around being exactly as OP as you say Flash isn't. Writers define speedsters as insanely broken until the story requires them to be much weaker than narration say. Flash is faster than Superman but Deadshot managed to get him with a rifle because plot.
>Because 99% of the time in the comics he's a street level jobber.
Flash being comparable to Superman in speed is a consistent part of his capabilities and out of the many times they race Flash more often than not is faster.
Faster than Superman is not "street level".
I hate Speedsters because their powers never work when it's convenient. Speedsters with A class speed feats and above should never lose or ever be in danger.
It's ok when DC does it cuz when a Speedster is weaker than usual they can chalk it up to Speedforce bullshit. Chars like Red Rush have no excuse. Red Rush should have fricking no diffed Omni-Man
And Batman is the opposite. Guy can take down five superman level villains by himself in JLA, but he gets fricked up by the Pequin's henchmen in his own book.
[...]
Frick off, Flash should be able to punch him with the force of a dwarf star 19 gajillion times before he could even think about pulling the trigger
flash doesn't turn his rogues into blood smoothies because 1. he respects them and 2. if he escalates the conflict they'll respond in kind, which means more trouble for everyone. including bystanders.
This.
When Inertia and the Rogues killed Bart the Rogues knew they'd fricked up big time and that all bets were off and the only way they thought they could escape retribution is by killing Inertia.
This don't make any sense, flash can easily just knock them out, It's like time is eternally paused for him. And how exactly they are gonna scalete, Against a guy that moves in near incalculable speeds ?
Was just talking about this shit with my friend its why power feat bullshit is so stupid, it completely ruins suspension of disbelief alot of the time, he should just be the fast guy, I don't need to know that he can move 58 million times in a millionth of a pico second, its fricking stupid and it makes me wonder why anyone would ever be able to touch him, let alone why would there ever be any sort of problems in the world when this guy could solve virtually every problem
This
anons trying to defend shit like that, don't understand exactly how fast flash should be.
>And how exactly they are gonna scalete,
by doing things their current moral code prevents. namely going after Flash's family and friends and harming civilians.
Flash is fast, but he's not omniscient or omnipotent. You can sneak things past him.
if you're the flash, and you come home to find your wife shot in the head, with nothing indicating who the culprit is, what exactly are you supposed to search for?

A recent flash run showed Barry can timetravel as easily as Thawne but chooses not to because “muh holding back” and shit. Started glowing with blue electricity like Thawne does. Point is he can literally undo anything

Thats the problem with DC and Marvel. Hell, any long running action series that deals with powers and shit. The characters become so buttfrickingly powerful that nothing should be a challenge for them. So they have to come up with bullshit like "holding back" When anyone with half a braincell would blitz the fricker and be done with it.
That doesn't really justify shit like "Flash may be able to move within an attosecond, but Deathstroke's quicker where it counts."
WHAT THE FRICK DOES QUICKER WHERE IT COUNTS MEAN
Yeah. Slade being able to counter him doesn't make sense either. Slade's movements would be so slow compared to Barry's he be able to see any adjustments Slade is making before they even happen. Your reflexes don't count for shit against an opponent as fast pr faster than light. Stop making speedsters this powerful ffs.

Flash has never made sense. The force of Flash accelerating to Flash speeds would instantly rip every single being in the DC multiverse to shreds, if Earth wasn't ripped to shreds first.
because comics are inconsistent shit written by a multitude of different of people, each with their own views on how a character should act, what they're capable of, etc - it shouldn't be taken seriously. Editorial should be there to keep moronic writers in check, but they've been compromised.

Op is a homosexual
Why don't you pay him to
Same reason The Joker is still alive.

why was he trying to punch Alfred?
Alfred was under mind control
Wait, what happened?
Did Bruce deliberately try to hit flash or did Flash try to interfere?
What is this even from?
King's run on Batman
Worst Batman run of all time
The run started out promising. But at this point, I think King may actually be a hack.
out of context. The flash and Alfred are under mind control, Bruce was going to knock out Alfred, but the controller (poison ivy) used Barry as a barrier. hence the "would you like to try again?" (still punching a mind controlled Alfred seems a bit much, but, ya know, comics.
>under mind control
>that means The Flash isn't holding back
>he's allowed to go all out
>jobs to cat three times in one page.
Still surprised that the only issues used to spam that Flash isn't that OP are writen by a guy who tried to made Wally a mass murderer
They are being back as ivy is trying to detain them not "go all out".
I agree with the sentiment that flash should lose to no one in the JL.
But lets be fair and show when its actually him actually trying an failing.
Which in my mind should almost never happen.
>as ivy is trying to detain them not "go all out"
She’s not, this is shit you made up.
Why didn't Flash just dodge the mind control?
Why did Ivy not stop Batman from attacking by making Flash punch him?
You can't beat me Deathstroke, I'm the fastest man ali- AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE OH NO! HE'S FASTER WHERE IT COUNTS!!!!
kek. Who writes this shit so I never read any of the garbage they produce again.
Brad Meltzer, a fricking best-selling novelist, wrote that trash.
even authors have ghostwriters
He's a nobody, though.
I may not be faster than Batman but at least I'm faster than Har- MMMHHHHRRGHHHH!!!! MRRGGFHHH HNNNNGGGRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!
He cannot risk awakening the fury of that guy who throws boomerangs.
Because he is lazy or too stupid to use his powers at its full potential. The same way Control Freak from Teen Titans does not summon a monster/villain canonically inmortal to defeat the heroes. It's the "Hol Horse effect" all over again
Because there wouldn’t be any story.

The Flash is the poster boy of "OP in his own Book, a Jobber in everyone else's"
And Batman is the opposite. Guy can take down five superman level villains by himself in JLA, but he gets fricked up by the Pequin's henchmen in his own book.
Bad writing.
Archie/IDW Sonic has some terrible writers, but at least he's consistent. There's better way to write speedsters without power creep.
Guy's surrounded by people specifically focused on him that shut him the hell down is half of why.
Villains operating as a functional containment system.
Frick off, Flash should be able to punch him with the force of a dwarf star 19 gajillion times before he could even think about pulling the trigger
Midwit take.

Flash is fast, but he's not omniscient or omnipotent. You can sneak things past him.
He can search the entire city for they in less than a second, attacking his family its not scalating, it's just suicide.
if you're the flash, and you come home to find your wife shot in the head, with nothing indicating who the culprit is, what exactly are you supposed to search for?

There has never been a good Flash comic.

This is 1000x worse than "O My Rubber Nen."
