Its well know that Superman hates Kryptonite, Lanterns traditionally hated yellow and Wonder Woman in her TV series could get gassed easily, but what is Flash's weakness? Does he have one? I've been pondering this recently and haven't got a clear answer.
Barry Allen
Character » Barry Allen appears in 5048 issues.
Having discovered his mother murdered and his father blamed for the act, forensic scientist Barry Allen sought to clear his father's name and find the real killer. After being doused in chemicals and struck by lightning, Barry was granted the gift of super-speed. Now he protects his hometown of Central City as The Flash, the fastest man alive and founding member of the Justice League.
..Ok, so what is the Flash (barry)'s weakness?
@bezza: I think he has the same weaknesses as any human. To me Flash is one of those characters whose super abilities overshadows the fact that everything else about him isn't super. I can't remember the exact line but Bart/Flash on Smallville summed it up best: We all move the same speed when we're asleep.
Barry doesn't have any known weakness. His performance may be effected upon due to certain devices that’s used against him and/or facing against other opponents with advantages that disrupts his performance. Sound waves can affect Barry's vibrational state, molecules slows down if they lack friction (dealing with extreme cold conditions), gravitational pull effecting his speed etc.
He's human. If he's not moving fast, regular things that would hurt a regular person would hurt him as well.

I really think it's up to the opponent. Consistantly, I'd say he has most problems facing Captain Cold and other Speedsters (mainly the Reverse-Flash, such as Zoom or Prof. Zoom.)
With that in mind, arguably his weakness is Absolute Zero, which only Captain Cold has mastered, since I think it actually slows Flash down faster than anything else, but I could be wrong.
This is the best response.

His metabolism. Because of his power, he has to eat constantly, and in huge quantities.
No he doesn't.
Anyhow, Flash doesn't have a specific weakness. There are things that can affect him (cutting him off from a power source, hurting him traditionally through force) but this applies to any superpowered character.
According to "Injustice: Gods Among Us", chocolate cake and romantic comedies
So the Rouges need to take the Flash out for a good night out in order to beat him, Movie and then desert! :)

or Trickster could just stuff some dynamite in a cake
His weakness at some point was his hyper metabolism , but now the only weakness he has (well it just slows him down a lil), Captain colds freeze ray slows the accelerating molecules and prevents him from generating kinetic energy , causes him to slowdown and not be able to accelerate
@amazingwebhead: Effective but not as romantic :)
