Yes, I have seen it.
PLOT:
The Flash must handle an onslaught of super-villains during the opening of a museum in his honor.
REVIEW:
Flash and Substance is basically a Flash tribute episode. Maybe Timm and the guys did this once they heard news of the Flash DVD set. This isn't just about a tribute of The Flash and his museum, but a tribute to his villians as they get the DCAU treatment.
Mirrormaster, Trickster (voiced by former live action Trickster Mark Hamill), Captain Boomerang, and Captain Cold are appear as washed out old men who have been beaten by Flash numberous times. Seeing them together must be good for any fan of the Scarlet Speeder.
While Batman and Orion (who one understands and the other doesn't understand why Flash is who he is) appear as well, The Flash is focused character. The Flash Museum is an example of something personal to him. Not only that, a cameo of the Golden Age Flash's helmet is in the museum and Linda Park-West, Wally West's wife in the comics, appears in this episode. (Is it me or was that Cheif Scientist Barry Allen?)
Overall, this was a nice stand alone episode of JLU. A Flash episode is a nice addition to the DCAU.
Rating: 8/10
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.

BUMP.
(Normally, bumping of threads is discouraged but JLU puts us in such a screwed up situation where episodes are shown in another country before its shown in the states...I feel a need bump some of these episode threads when they come out.....unless someone else makes a legitmate post).

I liked this episode. I thought it was a good, stand alone, Flash tribute episode.
It was cool to see how Flash deals with his villains, kind of reminds me of Andy Taylor from The Andy Griffith Show. :rol:
I'd say 8.0/10.

Yeah I agree with you guys. It was nice seeing all those villians and an episode where I can sit back and enjoy watching flash be who he is (not like i cant with other episodes but this one rises above them)
8.5/10

flash kicked in this episode. i have to say mirror master sucked. captian boomerang was cooler than he was on task force x. i wish captian cold was a better vilian though. i mean, i cant believbe orion took him down.
thats another thing, ORION?!! i mean, he acted like orion would but orions a new god guy. he dosent go beat up random bad guys, he fights the ones that try to take over new genises! but i loved the trickster and captian colds line when they're ordering drinks when he orders milk.
9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10

This episode was great. It is cool to see Orion working with the league. The time he was on a few years back was a good run. Also the little nods to Flash comics were cool. It is really odd to see them combine a little bit of Barry with Wally, since Wally in the comics could never have done the science stuff at the beginning of the episode. Also the appearance of Linda Park (I don't think that they say her name) was cool.

barry allen was cooler(IMO), but hes dead, which makes him not cool. so if u combine barry and wally(current and alive), u get the best flash. BAM! the JLU flash. everyone loves the JLU flash. hes just so cool.
