Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox Page #2

---

inside the museum moments ago.

Cold is on the loose already?

Do we really have to learn

this stuff on TV?

Doesn't anyone call the cops anymore?

Looks like a power struggle

in the Rogues.

- Who are the Rogues?

- The Rogues.

Flash's worst enemies?

Bent on Flash's destruction

so they can take over Central City?

Okay, we'll continue

this hilarious leg-pulling later.

After the Flash has taken care

of Citizen Cold.

Huh?

Oh.

Barry, are you all right?

Mom?

Mom.

Oh, that was a nasty spill,

even for you.

Let me see your head.

I'm fine. Mom.

It's you. You're here.

Heh, well, of course I'm here.

You promised me

you'd take me to dinner on my birthday.

It's my birthday.

The end of the world can't stop that.

You forgot. Heh, it's okay, Barry.

It's easy for a busy young man

to forget his old mom.

Huh? Oh.

I could never forget you.

Oh, heh. Oh, my.

Barry, what's gotten into you?

Are you all right?

People have been acting so strangely with

this terrible war hanging over their heads.

War? What? No, Mom, I'm fine.

But everything else has changed,

and I have to find out why.

It probably has something

to do with me being...

- Gay?

- What? No.

It's okay. I love you no matter what.

Mom, it's not that. It's something else.

Brace yourself for a shock.

- I'm the Flash.

- Oh.

What's the Flash?

You know, the Flash.

Fastest man alive?

Fights crime?

Very famous superhero?

A superhero?

Heh, you mean like Batman?

Hyah.

Where's the Joker? Unh.

Where, Yo-Yo?

Tell me where the Joker's funhouse

is this time.

While you can still talk.

Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue. Ow.

Let me help you get it off.

Judge Dent was kidnapped last night.

Where did the Joker take him?

Even if I did know,

it wouldn't do you any good, Bats.

- He's probably already dead.

- Then so are you.

Cyborg? I surrender.

To you.

Smart.

- Batman.

- You should have let her hit the pavement.

- You shouldn't have thrown her.

- She slipped.

- Aren't you wondering how I found you?

- Thermal vision.

Cybernetic hearing.

And total access to every camera

on the grid.

Must be a nice perk for being

in the president's back pocket.

I've told you it's not like that.

As national security advisor,

I can help more people.

Like that murdering psychopath?

Maybe you should go help people

in some other town.

We're trying to help all the people...

...while there's still a world left.

We need you.

"We"?

Hologram party. Ingenious.

Saves a fortune on snacks.

Enchantress, Pied Piper, Citizen Cold,

Shade, Sandman, The Shazam Kids.

It's Batman. Seriously, Batman.

- He's older than I thought.

- But I'm not hard of hearing.

You know why we're here, Batman.
