Not only is Barry Allen one of the fastest heroes in the DC Universe, he's also an unabashed comic book lover. As a boy, he was an avid reader of the heroes of the Justice Society of America's golden age, most notably Jay Garrick, the Flash. In fact, Barry was one of the first to discover that comic books were actually chronicles of what happened on other Earths in the multiverse. Barry's love of the comics extends to other members of the Flash family, even his otherworldly variants such as the Red Racer from Earth-36.

But in Flash's defense, he's trying to complete an inventory of the multiverse now that it's been restored to its original structure. Not to mention that Barry is a comic nerd first and foremost, and who can blame a nerd for missing the opportunity to reveal an exciting new story coming soon? Batman: Gotham's gargoyles may not exist yet, but fans can catch a brief hint of it from The Flash in The Dark Crisis: The Big Bang Theory #1, which is out now.
