So Flash #163. Wally is in bed, about to sleep, when he realises there's a bomb in his house. He takes it, runs from Keystone City (which is in Pennsylvania) to the Nevada Desert, and thinks he can get back 'in nanoseconds', as the bomb is about to blow:
Problem is, as that bomb explodes, simultaneously (this is important) four other bombs will also explode, in Metropolis, Gotham, New York and (most impressively), Atlantis:
No problem. Flash can just track the signal back to its source, back in Kansas. Remember, all this is done in an instant - the bomb was literally about to explode when he took it from his house.
Disaster! The 'source' of the transmissions was just a relay - he needs to find out more info about the targets. But the computer is too slow - so he runs to Silicon Valley from Kansas, takes computer equipment, and amps the original computer to lightspeed:
Remember, again - the other bombs are exploding simultaneously with the first one, so all five bombs are about to explode when he's doing all this.
He goes to Metropolis:

And takes the bomb from there to Montana, into the deepest levels of an old coalmine:
Then runs to Gotham, crisscrossing an entire neighbourhood, to find Batman:

Disposes of that bomb 'five miles away' (lol, chump change at this point), then runs to NYC, then disposes of that bomb at the top of Mount Whitney, in California:
Remember, all this is done in the instant before the bomb explodes (he could feel the initial bomb heating up, and the other bombs are all simultaneously exploding at the same time).
Then he runs out to the Pacific, then swims down to the bottom of the ocean to disarm the next bomb.
So to recap:
As 5 bombs are about to explode at the same time, Flash gets out of bed and dressed, runs from Keystone City (in Penn.) to Nevada, then back to Kansas, then to Silicon Valley, collects equipment, then back to Kansas, builds a supercomputer, then to Metropolis, then down a random mine in Montana, then to Gotham, searches (part of) it, then to NYC, then up the highest mountain in the US in California, then out to the Pacific somewhere, then swims down to the bottom to disarm the last bomb.

Supermans a smart guy. Only one person is fast enough to do that before he saw what happened. Nice smart ft for Supes.
Smarter than Batman? How dare you! But sure, if you want to argue that, I don't mind 😂
Flash is faster than Superman, and Superman is smarter than Bruce, and Bruce is already one of the smartest guys around. We (I) all win!!!

How would Batman have known when most of the super humans on the planet is fast enough to snatch something before he realize it? For all he knows, it could've been Supergirl or Superman or Billy. Heck, let's throw Black Adam in there as well.

BY NEPTUNE'S TRIDENTHow is it possible that Aquaman is always super-lame, even if he is given just a single panel to "shine"?
"I think it's very accurate to his character, if only they had written those lines for Momoa he would have been perfect. I hate the wokery in comics today, they'd never get away with such daring dialogue now"
