    As a part of the Rogues gallery, obviously. Or are there more important rogues around now that overshadow him?

    Well, hopefully all of the core Rogues would be in a movie: So, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Captain Boomerang (Digger), Weather Wizard, Trickster I, and possibly the Top.

    I would like to see him the Flash movie but I don't think he would be good as the main villain.

    This guy would become a laughing stock. Nobody would take him seriously.

    as long as you never say the name Captain Boomerang out loud, or actually try to present him as a legitimate threat.

    But how would you do that? With the other Rogues it is a bit easier. Do you give Captain Boomerang the ability to make energy boomerangs at of thin air?

    That is kinda cool. And maybe how I would build him for table top gaming.

    I agree that he could be in a cameo for the fans, but John Q is gonna wonder why a guy with boomerangs can threaten the Flash unless he gets curbstomped.

    I meant "never say his name; never try to present him as a legitimate threat", A man who can move light speeds gets hung up on a guy who's projectiles don't even break the sound barrier?

    So you're saying never have him show up in any Flash movie?

    I'm saying have him be the Scarecrow ala Dark Knight, have Flash take him out while showing that Flash is involved with crime that maybe the police wouldn't be able to handle otherwise, but then again I never understood why cops had problems with nuts with boomerangs.

    @darth_brendroid: I hope that after Suicide Squad they will have him in the Flash solo movie with the other rogues.
