10 Things DC Wants You To Forget About The Flash

9. A Lot Of His Terrible Villains

Some have compared The Flash€™s rogues gallery to that of Batman, thanks to the amount of quality villains the Crimson Comet has faced down over the years. Much like the Dark Knight, however, for every iconic adversary on the level of Captain Cold there€™s about a dozen terrible bad guys that nobody likes to talk about, so significant is their suckitude. His group even go so far as to call themselves the Rogues in-universe, and most of them abide by a loose honour code which specifies no killing (except in extreme circumstances), and devote their supervillainous careers to mostly petty crimes like robberies or other stuff that seems below meta-humans. When you get a look at some of them, though, you can see why they€™d temper their expectations. These are, after all, the same Rogues that count Captain Boomerang - soon to appear in the Suicide Squad film! - the Dredel-inspired Top who could spin around really fast, and Golden Glider, who fights with ice skates. Don€™t see too much of them these days.
