History Recap / JusticeLeagueUnlimitedS3E5FlashAndSubstance

* ContinuityNod: Several abound in this episode.
** The Flash Museum shows a display of Flash racing around the world with Superman. This took place in the ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode, "Speed Demons."
** Flash's Lightspeed Bar standy, which Orion destroys when it startles him, references the episode "Eclipsed."
** 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.

* DrinkOrder: {{Played for laughs}} -- after Mirror Master declares the Rogues to be "the hardest men in town", they order:

-->"I mean what's so special about a 'disco of death?' Heck with 'em! I'm an artist! They're just robbing banks. Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang... probably would have gone for it if I was a captain..."

'''Marla the camera person:''' ... Okay, now you're off.\\
''(Linda slaps the card on her forehead in embarrassment)''

'''Flash:''' Yeah? Well you're... you're not really all there!\\

* StuffBlowingUp: The Trickster comes up with a ridiculous plan to grease the bottom of fake vomit and get the Flash to run over it so he slides into a wall of spikes. "And then... '''Everything explodes!'''"

'''Captain Cold:''' ... you know what? Taking turns is dumb.

* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Batman fires a flare gun at the Rogues, only for it to stumble into the Mirror Dimension. The oblivious Rogues gloat at how Batman missed, except that the flare was actually meant for the Flash, who was lost in the Mirror Dimension.

* MythologyGag: Several abound inside the Flash Museum alone, including the presence of Jay Garrick's (the first Flash in the comics) World War 1 helmet and Kid Flash's costume (Wally was the first Kid Flash in the comics). There's also the presence of the Flash's costume ring, which was used in the comics to store the hero's costume inside. Then there's Wally's CSI mentor/supervisor, who looks ''exactly'' like Barry Allen, and Wally mentioning his uncle is flying in.

* AdaptationalVillainy: 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. [[ArchEnemy Here]], [[EvilIsPetty not so much.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Linda accidentally sets the Flash up for an ambush when using her compact, which the Rogues use as a portal into the museum under the noses of Batman and Orion.

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.

* AdaptationalVillainy: 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. [[ArchEnemy Here]] [[EvilIsPetty not so much.]]
* BadGuyBar: The Rogues all hang out in one, and it's location is well known to the Flash.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Trickster for the other Rogue. When they're all at the bar you can tell that they're just tolerating his pressence than actually enjoying his company.

* ExactlyWhatIAimedAt: Batman fires a flare gun at the Rogues, only for it to stumble into the Mirror Dimension. The oblivious Rogues gloat at how Batman missed, [[spoiler:except that the flare was actually meant for the Flash, who was lost in the Mirror Dimension.]]

-->"That should do it!" ''(the boomerangs come right back at him)'' "DUH!"

* FriendlyEnemy: Flash is this with Trickster; 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.

* InkSuitActor: The Trickster's design was partially based on Creator/MarkHamill, who played the character on the 1990 ''[[Series/TheFlash1990 Flash]]'' series.

* InsaneEqualsViolent: Inverted with the Trickster - the mentally ill Rogue is the most harmless (although given that it's indicated that he only goes out and does supervillain stuff ''because'' of his mental illness it might be more 'played with' than 'inverted'). It's a pointed contrast to SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, with whom the Trickster [[Creator/MarkHamill shares a voice actor]].

* GenreSavvy: Captain Cold finally decides that attacking the Flash RunTheGauntlet style is stupid, and convinces his fellow Rogues to attack him all at the same time.

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: By no means an antique, but Captain Boomerang snatches a boomerang from a mannequin display of himself.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The Trickster for the other Rogue. When they're all at the bar you can tell their just tolerating his pressence than actually enjoying his company.

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

** There's also a statue of the Turtle Man, Barry's first enemy in the comics.

* SadClown: [[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.

* MythologyGag: Several abound inside the Flash Museum alone, including the presence of Jay Garrick's (the first Flash in the comics) World War 1 helmet and Kid Flash's costume (Wally was the first Kid Flash in the comics).

Then there's Wally's CSI mentor/supervisor, who looks ''exactly'' like Barry Allen.

'''Linda Park:''' Are we off? Jeez, he's [Franchise/TheFlash] a total babe. ''(fanning herself with her reading card)'' Like the entire track team at once. I can't believe you're not into him, Marla.\\

* EvilIsPetty: The Rogues decided to take out the Flash on the day of the Flash Museum's Grand Opening because they blame him for their current money troubles (i.e. they would all be rich if the Flash wasn't always stopping their hesits).
