'The Greatest Trick The Batman Pulled Was Making People Think He Always Has A Plan' – Flash #65 and Heroes In Crisis #6 Spoilers
Today's Flash #65 sees Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen get down over their actions as superheroes, specifically those who have sidekicks, in the light of Wally West's death in Heroes In Crisis. Naturally the Flash is not happy with Batman and feels like it's the opportunity to speak truth to the non-powered.
A Barry Allen full of hope? He has an answer for that.
'The greatest trick the Batman ever pulled was making people think he always has a plan' is a paraphrase of the famous line "the finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist" by nineteenth century French poet Charles Baudelaire – which goes alongside Gnaark quoting Hobbes and Keats today.
Oh go on then, it's more like a further paraphrase from 'the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist' from The Usual Suspects written by Christopher McQuarrie...
Of course, today's Heroes In Crisis #6 has Barry Allen say similar about hope to Wally West…
Guilty much, Barry? Especially as everyone else joins in…
No pressure then. You can read more about today's Heroes In Crisis #6 over here. But back in Flash #65, Batman has possibly the bitchiest response possible…
To which there can only be one response. Bat-handbags everyone…
After all Batman, you forgot that Wally West existed too. Or that Red Robin was ever Robin. And that Stephanie Brown was Robin or Batgirl. Or Cassandra Cain. Continuity changes affect you all… in the words of Jesus, mote and beam, mote and beam…
