Central City is a major city in the U.S state of Ohio. It is also home to the scarlet speedster known as the Flash.

History[]

21st Century[]

Murder of Nora Allen[]

Barry Allen and his parents, Henry and Nora Allen, lived happily for years in Central City, until June 13, 2004, when Nora was murdered by the Reverse Flash and Henry was wrongly framed for her death, being taken to Iron Heights Penitentiary with a life sentence, inspiring Barry to study a degree in Criminal Law. However, in September 29, 2013, when he was on the crime lab of Central City Research Center, Barry was struck by lightning, which gave him super speed powers, using them to be a superhero.

Protected by the Flash[]

Since that year, Central City was protected by Barry, now a metahuman superhero known as the Flash.[2][3]

Capture of Captain Boomerang[]

Central City fell victim to a series of robberies by Captain Boomerang, who once planted boomerangs in every prison within a 100-mile radius of the city. One day, Digger, together with an accomplice, infiltrated inside Central City Diamond Exchange and began to stole diamonds. However, he would betray his accomplice by knocking him out so he could have all the diamonds but Flash intervened and attacked him, before being imprisoned in the city, but was later transferred to Belle Reve in Louisiana by Amanda Waller.[4][3]

Attack on Midway City[]

After the disaster at Midway City, many of the fleeing evacuees were hoping for a best case scenario where they could reach Central City, despite being over a hundred miles south. Many were known to have survived the trip, reaching either Central City or Gateway City.[5]

Searching for Barry Allen[]

In 2017, Bruce Wayne went to Central City in search of Barry Allen to recruit him to the Justice League. He later encountered him in his hideout and after throwing him a batarang, the two revealed their respective secret identities.[6] Shortly after, as they were leaving the city, they came across a cart of fruits.[7]

  2. In Suicide Squad: Behind the Scenes with the Worst Heroes Ever is shown that Captain Boomerang attempted to steal the diamond exchange on November 18, 2009. As he was later captured by Flash, this implied that Barry gained his superpowers shortly before (enough time to create his red suit). However, with the release of The Flash this was seemingly retconned as the film shows that Barry actually received his powers on September 29, 2013.
