I mean think about it, even at his post-crisis, depowered, can-only-run-as-fast-as-the-speed-of-sound slowest, that's still a mile every 5 seconds. Given the limits of human vision, that's almost as good as light speed, especially in hand to hand combat. <BR/><BR/>Barry's top speed would, to the normal eye be analogous to teleportation.

Besides I think most of the Flash's stories take place during the day in good weather so the Rogues will be seen. Bright colorful costumes like those demand to be seen and poor weather won't help that goal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
