Why A Flash Video Game Will Never Work
The Flash is one of DC's most famous superheroes, but it may not be possible to make a video game about him. Almost every well-known member of the Justice League has had a video game of their own, but not The Flash. When one considers how many other heroes have games while he doesn't, perhaps there is a good reason for that.

The Flash has been involved in several important events in DC history, most prominently the Flashpoint crossover that led to the creation of the New 52 continuity. However, while there have been many great superhero games such as the Die Hard-esque Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Flash has never had one of his own.

He's also forced to use this in the real world, which isn't built to make use of it, limiting his options for gameplay.
