The Season 2 episode of Justice League Unlimited, In “Flash and Substance,” which originally aired on Feb. 11, 2006, the Rogues team up and threaten to ruin Central City’s first “Flash Appreciation Day”. In honor of both the Scarlet Speedster and that episode, contributors to the blog Nothing But Comics have hatched the idea of a real life Flash Day.

The actual petition for has over 200 signatures and needs 100,000 by February 10, 2015.

DC Comics superhero the Flash debuted in Flash Comics #1 (January 1940). The character’s legacy is impressive, and the hero’s adventures continue today in comics and on television. The Flash uses his powers of super-speed in the cause of justice, and has provided positive inspiration to his many fans for the past 75 years.

We, the fans of the Flash, ask the President of the United States to declare February 11, 2015 “Flash Appreciation Day” in order to honor the character’s inspirational example and values.

How about we worry about more important things to petition/worry about. Things such as the economy, human rights, foreign policy, SOMETHING that has some, like, impact. Or we can worry about rather petty things, like celebrating a superhero.

Iron Man Day : let's spend some money
Hulk Day: let's get drunk and get angry
Hawkeye day : let's shoot someone with arrow (also called Arrow Day)
Thor's Day: (Thursday) - let us be worthy
Captain America Day: let us apologize for everything we've done in those couple of days

Okay, I'm all for getting superheroes more widely known etc. But this is ridiculous.

If this happens, Marvel still beat em, Thor has his day every week.



Just saying...
