In one stormy night when a depressed Barry was working in his lab, he was struck by lightning, woke up from coma after a long time with the power of super-speed, he becomes The Flash!

When Batman and Green lantern visits Metropolis to dig deep about an extraterrestrial invasion on Earth (Justice League – Origin), he was called by Hal Jordan when Superman was practically trashing them.
