Because on a cosmic scale a fight jet and race car are stupidly slow. Flash sometimes has to deal with people that are moving at these speeds also. You should look up the "1 Min War" That is some good Flash story right there.

That's what I mean though. The only time that flash is good is when his enemies are palette swaps of him with the same or similar powers. Any other story and he doesn't fit. That's why the show is so frustrating because he has to be completely incompetent to have any conflict with normal villains.

That isn't at all what I meant, he battles people that teleport and use illusions and other things that do require big speed. The show you are talking about is dumb as shit and misuses him entirely. However people keep thinking a hero needs to be some vulnerable human that people can relate to. The point of heroes and their powers is they are beyond us and there is no relating to them. When I and many others watch One Punch Man we don't think about how dumb it is that no one is a challenge to him. We know he will win and it's still amazing! You just have to write the stories better and utilize the hero the way they should.

One Punch man is a good example. But when one punch creates conflict it uses Saitama being socially awkward or weird as the conflict. Not the enemies themselves. Or they give him an enemy that can fight on his level like Lord Boros. The entire show has to be tuned around Saitama.

The problem is that the justice league and flash show plots/villains are made for normal superheroes, while flash is a living god amongst men so the writers either make him an idiot who can't do anything despite being FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT or he would since the problem instantly.

Most of One Punch Man is comedic and not to be taken seriously because every fight ends in one punch. But they expect us to take flash seriously in a lot of stuff he's in.
