Trivia / The Trial of the Flash

• Executive Meddling: While meant to be long, it wasn't meant to be Barry's last story. Partway through, the order came down from editorial that Barry would die in Crisis on Infinite Earths and to keep publishing the comics up to that point.
• Missing Episode: In the Showcase Presents collection, Flash issues #328 and #337-339 aren't included.
• What Could Have Been: Cary Bates had several plans that would have continued if not for the Crisis, including Flash being found guilty and going "on the run." This would’ve kicked off a new story arc which would have had Flash continuing to do his good deeds as a wanted man with an arrest warrant hanging over his head. What he liked most about this idea was "the delicious irony of a Flash who ends up joining his own Rogues Gallery."
