The Attack on Flash was a failed murder attempt on the Flash by the metallic metahuman criminal Girder, as part of a deal with Vincent Inzerillo.

- Main article: Ambush on Sally's Showcase Amusement Park
After successfully foiling a criminal operation, the Flash encountered a metallic criminal going by the name Girder, whom he was unable to hurt. Following this, the leader of the operation, Vincent Inzerillo, ordered Girder to kill the Flash in exchange for his payment, which he would triple if he succeeded.[1]
Attack[]
Two days later, Girder decided to rob a bank downtown on Central City in order to attract the attention of the Flash. At the same time, Barry Allen was heading for his job at the CCPD crime lab when he saw a bank vault door being thrown into the air, which made him protect people at super speed and go get his suit. When arriving at the scene, Flash was met with a heavy punch from Girder, who said that he wasn't there to rob the bank but to kill him as there was a price on his head. While gravely injured and with his suit very damaged, Flash managed to get away from Girder's grasp and escape.[1]

Knowing that he couldn't defeat Girder alone, Flash sought help from the veteran hero Batman, who was dealing with The Jacks in Gotham City.[1]
