DS stabbed the flash didnt make sense until it was explained to me.
DS had a trail of bombs set up and he knew flash would try to rush him from behind so he set off the trail of bombs as flash rushed him (flash doesnt go from 0-lightspeed automatically) flash rushed him but was caught off guard by having to doge the bomb trail and thats when DS stabbed him.
Jumping throught fans made sense too. because written at full ability hes crazy fast with unbelievable reaction time, but written badly hes basically Cap'n americas equal. which imo is cool.
""Jeez that's kind of creepy. DS would realize that DP is one crazy SOB and leave. He doesn't have all day to think up ways to kill him.""
Probably, but they could fight forever, both are immortal.
I know where youre coming from, DS and everyone else would look like they are standing still.
But, the bombs explode faster than the flash could have been going in the small space he could run. (bombs blow up and shrapnel goes faster or as fast as flash was running)
That said, Flash wasnt paying attention to slade, he was busy dodging the land mines.....so he ran into the sword.

By the time DS arm went from point a to point b it would have been like a year in Flash's prepective... it's like getting hit by one of those old guys on a scooter when saw him coming straight at you five minutes earlier.
yeah, but in that same issue, they also say that he is "faster where it counts", which i'm guessing is reaction time.... he was able to move the sword faster than wally could react to it... or something...
I agree, its a stretch, but its possible.
lets say im Flash:
I see DS and he sees me, i think to myself "ill rush him" but DS reaction time is unearthy...like Kon said.....it's borderline precog.
I as flash run at him, then the trail of bombs are going off and i have to dodge them, taking me by surprise and making be not look where im going. then bam! i hit the sword.
The first time i seen this is was like WTF no way!
then a friend explained it to me.
I don't think you guys under stand how fast light speed really is. DS has fast reaction time but the Flash has ran from a collapsing bridge to a libary read every book on architecture, memorized every set of blue prints, ran to the construction yard gathered up everything he needed, ran back to the bridge and fixed it all in the span of a second or two. Thats how fast the Flashes mind works, thats how fast his reaction time is.
There is no way to explain it that would help it make any sense at all

Flash doesnt go from 0-light speed in 1 second, Flash was probably only going the speed of sound. He only has three or four feet to run, then the bombs distract him then hits the sword.
Why would flash run at someone at light speed that is just standing there? He didnt know slade was planning anything. He probably thought, ill run to him and grab the detonater.
Slade was just too smart and fast for all of them. i'm sure the borderline precog didnt hurt either.
