Wonderfully executed, and it had me literally cheering and clapping when I first saw it.<br /><br />Although afterward he almost dies and says "I don't think I can ever run that fast again". So if I were talking to a JL Flash fan I might humor them with, "yes, but just for that episode".<br /><br />(I suppose there's a thesis to be written about stories that climax with the "forgotten guy" remaining at the end as the only only who could save the day. Interestingly I can think of two with Elongated Man: one in an old JL/JLA annual in the 70's versus Time Master, and one in the JLU show offscreen from Booster Gold).Deltahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705402326320853684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-17893300065964100252014-01-17T23:15:03.038-04:002014-01-17T23:15:03.038-04:00Not to mention fighting the Anti-Monitor.Not to mention fighting the Anti-Monitor.JeffJedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396911383619760117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-1105302049805330502014-01-17T16:47:12.676-04:002014-01-17T16:47:12.676-04:00JLU Animated series-era Batman was the smartest Ba...JLU Animated series-era Batman was the smartest Batman and indeed given enough time to plan, could beat anyone.<br /><br />Proof? In "A Better World" 2-parter Batman defeats... Batman. And then is defeated by Batman.<br /><br />However Flash also defeats Batman so The Flash is the best super hero.idiotbrigadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077080129041184948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-81130930881920542492014-01-17T15:03:46.122-04:002014-01-17T15:03:46.122-04:00The Cult of Batman continues to grow.
