@ScarletBatman The Flash isn't popular because few non-nerds people have the patience to watch some guy run around a lot. Speed, as a power, gets old far more quickly than Strength, Stamina, Smarts, Gadgets or Flight. The Flash works best in Teams, where his powers supplement the whole. However, there hasn't been a non-animated team movie or TV show to showcase the Flash.
To be well known in the mainstream, means you have to have TV shows, Radio Broadcasts or movies come out at least once a decade, that way you remind older folks about the heroes and introduce the heroes to a new generation. Batman, Superman and Spider-Man (arguably the three most well known super heroes) have all accomplished this.
Off topic , you know Flash had a live action TV show back in the day? It didn't last long.
