History Recap / JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS3E5FlashAndSubstance

* FirstNameBasis: The Flash seemingly knows near every single denizen of his CityOfAdventure by ''name''. He calls out to several of them through the episode. Superman is known to be amicable with the people of Metropolis, but ''Flash'' takes it to another level, due to how friendly he is with the people of Central City.

* LactoseOverLiquor: Captain Cold orders milk, and when his fellow bad guys look at him he explains that his ulcer has been acting up.

** Wally's boss in the crime lab looks suspiciously like Barry Allen. He's later seen again ignoring Mirror Master's criticism of him while picking up the latter's pieces.

** Wally's superior in the crime lab looks suspiciously like Barry Allen.
** The BadGuyBar features several costumed characters aside from the four main Rogues: the Top, Thinker, Mister Alchemy, the Turtle Man, etc.

* [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Crowning Moment Of HeartWarming]]: The exchange between Orion and Flash in the SadClown section gets a mention here for the fact that right after Flash literally defies the trope and brushes off Orion's incorrect belief that he plays the fool to hide "a warrior's pain", you can see Batman ''smiling'' at Flash's comment of "The Bad guys went down and nobody got hurt. You know what I call that? ''A really good day.''" Think about that. For as much of a goof-off as he can be, all Flash has to do is speak straight from the heart, and The Fastest Man Alive managed to get an honest-to-God '''''smile''''' out of The Dark Knight. How many people in the DCAU can legitimately claim to have gotten a '''''real''''' smile out of The Batman?

* FateWorseThanDeath: Mirror Master is satisfied with trapping the Flash in his Mirror Dimension, thinking it's enough to prevent him from causing trouble for the Rogues anymore.

* BadGuyBar: The Rogues all hang out in one, and its location is well known to the Flash.

** The episode "Task Force X" and Captain Boomerang's involvement in the titular group are referenced when Boomerang himself tells his fellow villains that he got a deal that "got (his) sentence down to five years," and again when Batman tells Flash that Amanda Waller had informed him about Boomerang leaving the team.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: When Flash and Linda Park end up in the mirror dimension, the only way out is to find the right mirror to go through, which could take years even with SuperSpeed. Fortunately, they see Batman's flare guiding them to the right one.

* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Addressed after Captain Boomerang's attack on the Flash fails. He tries to get the other Rogues to chip in for the cost of the giant boomerang he used, noting that he has high expenses compared to someone like Mirror Master who can just "pull another mirror [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar out of your blinkin' arsenal]]."

* CompositeCharacter: This episode consolidates many of Barry Allen's characteristics (such as being a forensic scientist in Central City) into the DCEU version of the Flash, who was earlier revealed to be Wally West (who, in the comics, was a police mechanic in Keystone City, which is across the Mississippi from Central City).

* FirstNameBasis: The Flash seemingly knows damn near every single denizen of his CityOfAdventure by ''name''. He name drops several of them through the episode. Superman is known to be amicable with the people of Metropolis, but ''Flash'' takes it to [[JustForFun/OneOfUs One of Us]] levels, due to how friendly he is with individual people all over Central City.

* FriendlyEnemy: Flash is this with Trickster; they play darts together! In fact, their interaction provided this trope's page image at some point. It's also a source of confusion for the battle-hardened Orion.

** [[WrongGenreSavvy Orion]] thinks the Flash is this, saying that "[he plays] the fool to hide a warrior's pain". Immediately [[DefiedTrope defied]] by Flash himself.

When the Flash gets a museum opened in his honor, courtesy of the grateful residents of his native Central City, four members of his RoguesGallery take it upon themselves to kill him on the eve of the opening. Batman and Orion, who've been invited to the ceremony, must now help the Scarlet Speedster repel the villains -- and they get to witness just how Flash operates on his home turf as a superhero.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, the Rogues have a strict ThouShallNotKill policy that is strictly enforced by Captain Cold and their relationship with the Flash is akin to WorthyOpponent and even FriendlyEnemy at times. Here, [[EvilIsPetty not so much]].

* LiterallyShatteredLives: A family-friendly sort; Mirror Master escapes into one of his mirrors, a split second before Batman throws a Batarang in its direction, shattering it, trapping Mirror Master in that particular mirror. Later he's seen badgering the police to make sure they sweep up all the pieces.
