While I always say that speedsters are the best and would pick them in any fight, you mustn't forget that superspeed is such overpowered ability that even writers often don't know what to do. They have to make the hero and the story interesting and dinamic when they already made the character catch bullets and made them run so fast they tore a hole trough time. And now he is challanged by two guys with guns, someone that can shoot energy... Yea. no. Guns? No. Not buying it. And they are in charge of making that look believable. So they have to nerf them in dumb and sometimes downright retarded ways.

Even writers say that speedsters are inherently difficult to write, like Peter David, who made some Young Justice episodes:

"Speedsters make me nervous, because if you play them accurately, they're impossible to beat...The moment someone sees him coming, it's too late. You shout, "It's the Flash!" and you haven't even got "It's" out before you're done...I could deal with Impulse because he was easily distracted." (Impulse had adhd)

So I honesly wouldn't be surprised if people made this and made Flash lose.

(I mean ffs it was confirmed that he can run like twice as fast as Clark. A punch at that speed would disintegrate the thing he hit....)
