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 come to witness the opening at Flash's invitation, 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.

* TheMentallyDisturbed: Trickster, at least in this continuity, has super-villain delusions and relies on medication to keep himself in check. Flash actually has to point out to him that he's wearing his villainous costume for him to know he's had another episode of this.

* ObliviousToLove: For a guy who's known for hitting on the ladies at every chance, Flash is amazingly oblivious to Linda Park's not-so-subtle crush on him; when she finally gets to outline it to him, he's a bit embarrassed and covers with a joke.
