The Flash: 24 WTF Moments

18. The Gag About Barry's Stupid Run

Prime Barry doesn't immediately realise he's lost his powers, though, and when the pair exit the lab, he quite reasonably attempts to super-speed his way outta there.

Hilariously, with his powers stripped away, Barry simply performs his infamously goofy sprint around the room at normal speed, looking like an absolute tool - a bad cosplayer, even.

Considering how often Barry's super-speed run has been widely mocked online by fans - to the extent that it's basically a meme at this point - it was fun to see the DCEU itself finally address just how damn silly his gangly, arms-outstretched run looks.
