**The Flash** was a hero with super-speed on Earth -52.

## HistoryEdit

He was friends with Batman until many of Wayne's sidekicks died, causing Batman to go insane. Batman thought that, if he had the Flash's power, he'd be fast enough to stop crimes that he otherwise could not. After forcing Barry into the Speed Force with him, Batman having bested the Flash, the resulting energy caused the two superheroes's bodies to turn into skeletons and as such, the Flash was ultimately and permanently fused into Batman's body, and Wayne now had the super-speed he had so desperately craved.

When The Batman Who Laughs came to recruit Bruce, Barry temporarily gained control and told Bruce not to trust him. However Bruce took back control of the body before talking to The Batman Who Laughs.

When Flash of Earth 0 disabled The Merciless' universe cage leading to an explosion of positive energy. In the process Bruce was erased re-birthing The Red Death in gold armor making Barry re-take over the body. Barry decides to help the Earth 0 heroes stop the Dark Knights and convinces Earth 0 Barry to leave him behind while The Merciless arrives. When The Batman Who Laughs arrives, he reveals he knew Barry would take control of the body and allowed such a thing to give the heroes hope. He also reveals that the same energy that recreated him is going to destroy him and their warheads have a "dark matter universe" within them. Barry cries out as he explodes knowing what's going to happen next.
