I like how this episode demonstrates the actual reason why the rest of the league went dark when he was killed in alternate world

[IN-tmmw]

When a person can move so insanely fast, what's most important to them is to value the things you can only see by slowing down.

I adore the Trickster scene. It shows that Wally not only wants to help anyone but he KNOWS that Trickster is not an actual threat, that he's just a sick man and the way he said he'll visit him at the hospital to play darts? Sounds like it wouldn't be the first time.

I like how Batman doesn't interfere when Flash is talking to The Trickster either, he respects that this is Wally's city and lets him handle his villain his way.

[blackfox]

I always felt that, deep down, Flash represented everything that Batman wanted to be. He had the sense of duty like Wonder Woman, the call of a greater purpose like Green Lantern, the need to help others like Superman, but he did it all for the simple reason of him wanting to do right by people. My headcanon was that Batman saw in Flash what he saw in himself when he was a kid. Just someone who wanted to do the right thing for no other reason than it helped other people.

I'm a dementia nurse and how Flash talks to Trickster is how I talk to my clients. He's really got a heart of gold. also I actually think Trickster has dementia.

I think Wally appreciates the little things because his mind moves so fast that everyone else moves slow. It’s his way to cling to the moment instead of moving past it.

"I like heroes who are good people, and I miss them."
100% agreed!

[metalwolfzx]

0:04 "Finish your drink, and then turn yourself in." That is still a weirdly wholesome moment from this show, and the crazy part is that it seemed to work!

[Savagewolver]

Yes, Wally was a Forensic Scientist. He deeply admired his uncle Barry, literally walking in his footsteps, just in his own way.

[JDWalker]

Even Batman respects flash

It’s because flash doesn’t just see all villains as evil people, but also as people that were dealt a bad hand

He gives everyone a fair shake, but is also willing to bring the hammer down on villains that cross the line, and in the case of Luthor he did at light speed

[NotJustDarth]

FUN FACT: Mark Hamill also played the trickster in the 90s flash show before he did the joker

[vathorean]

I love that they have Batman smile at 16:30 as Flash says, "You know what I call that, a really good day." It shows that he actually understands what Flash is all about

[LucarioDoT]

My headcanon is that Batman doesn't just respect The Flash, but outright sees The Flash as the person he wishes he was like.

I'm not a writer but I can only imagine the pride one would feel when you create a character as iconic and beloved as Wally West, added to the Fact that he had to take up the role of another beloved and iconic character and was well received by fans from both generations. Kudos to the Creator of Wally and all the Writers and artists who've done him justice throughout the years

[Karlz]

One thing I noticed about Lord Batman was that when the canon Justice League is captured, he’s cold and indifferent with them except for Flash which he actually tries to talk to even though Flash was dismissive of him

And when Flash pretended to have some sort of cardiac attack, Lord Batman genuinely and visibly *freaks out*

[captaincomic]

One interesting note about Wally's relationship with his villains, at least in the comics, is that apparently he's much more well-liked by them than Barry was. The Rogues at several points have noted that Barry kind of had a stick up his ass and didn't really try that much to banter with them or get along compared to Wally. That and a lot of them have known Wally since he was just Kid Flash and are still kinda like "aw, lookit the little kiddo go" so they don't go as hard on him.

[GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

Wally talking to the trickster in the bar honestly made me tear up a little. I adore that showcase of his humanity so much. I miss when superheroes did that shit at least semi regularly

[Independent]

The conversation between Flash and the Trickster always makes me a tear up a bit. Trickster's not a bad guy, he's just an unwell man who wants attention, and Wally trying to get him to take better care of himself in this moment and promising to spend time with him if he does so is too wholesome.

I love the idea of a hero being so goddamn likable, that even the villains who want to destroy him can’t help but hang out with them every once in a while.
