One thing I loved about the "Don't come to Central City" story was the villians saying "Batman will break your bones, Superman will put you in jail, But The Flash; He'll TALK to you, make you feel like you can do better and that you're disappointing him"

He can move faster than you can even think. It's a wonder more characters aren't scared of him.

I always like these "villains sitting around talking" stories. It reminds me of the joke where the villains talk about how they all know superman is actually clark kent but purposefully don't attack him because when he's clark it's the only break they get.

Even Batman told the Flash that he does "tight efficient work"

High praise coming from Batman

The idea of condiment man having to suffer in the desert for a year surviving off his condiments is as absurd as it is hilarious

Wally chasing a villain to the end of the universe just to save a girl's lollipop is the most Wally thing ever and that's why I love him as the Flash. It's a shame Adams got kicked off the series because its moments like these that made me love his run so much.

The prologue to the new series looks alright. Don't like how Linda is written but we will see in September if Spurrier can fill Adams' shoes.

Reverse Flash:

“Back off clown, he’s mine to ruin”

Its always a weird moment when one villain who is specifically geared around a hero suddenly crosses path with a very different hero with very different abilities and personality

[TetsuShima]

The Flash vs Joker part reminds of that moment in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" event in which the Joker, while being chased by Batman as usual, suddenly encounters a manifestation of the Flash's spirit, to which he tells visibly upset that facing Central City's hero is completely unfair for him. Despite being completely insane, the Joker has still enough sanity to not mess with good old Barry

*Fun fact:* Beast Boy is actually a huge Flash fan. In fact, before he became a hero, he witnessed the first time Barry traveled to Earth-Two while showing him and other children his speedster powers.

Joker's whole thing is psychological torture. It's hard to psychologically torture a dude who can literally put you in your cell halfway across the city before you can blink

[zacharyclapp]

I love Flash because he almost always gives you a chance to just make things right and go about your business. It’s when either you pass on that option or are too hard core that he makes your life difficult. And even then, it’s mainly just a huge inconvenience. The reason no one messes with him is that he does it in such an overwhelming and yet casual way that you know without a shadow of a doubt that you want to keep this guy jovial.

[PosthumanHeresy]

I love seeing stories about why The Joker doesn't visit other cities. I love the canon one where Superman breaks him down mentally, toys with him using his powers that Joker hadn't thought about, and informing the Joker that Superman _only kills when he absolutely must_ (since he deals with giant monsters and stuff) the Joker just decides that there is no fun to be had in Metropolis.

Honestly stories like this are why I love the flash a hero to the people who for a little girls sucker would chase a guy to the end of time.

[jotheunissen]

As he should be
The Flash can run at speeds enough to time travel
Don't mess with a guy who can end all crime on the planet in mere seconds

[Skrighk]

My favorite moment in DC comics was when Batman tried to threaten Flash, and Flash calmly said, "The only reason you touched me I'd because you're upset and I let you, because youre my friend."

[FrankensteinsMom]

Batman puts Joker back in Arkham for the 1000th time and Joker is like “meh I’ll try again later.”
Flash puts him back in Gotham ONCE and he’s like “OH HELL NO. NEVER AGAIN.” 😂 I’ll admit that’s impressive.

[JTCH]

“Don’t come to Central City” This is such a good example of why Wally is my favorite hero. He’s this compassionate and ornery funny guy, but also driven and has the powers of a god.

[sleepy]

It’s pretty crazy to think flash could mess with the joker more ways, than he can do to him. Flash could take joker back to the ice age and leave there. Take him to a prison in the far future. He can annoy him to death and he couldn’t do anything about it. Even go back and time to stop his origins or find record evidence of his true identity before it was destroyed. Give to Batman and him in prison forever.

[oscarsandoval]

Im pretty sure that this has happened in marvel at one point. A bunch of villians were talking about all the best and worst places to commit crime in New York, saying stuff like how if you run into Spider-Man to play along with his quips and he'll go easy on you, that daredevil will probably break something inside of you, and how you never want to be anywhere that the punisher's been spoted at recently.
