There ’s a respect between Wally and the varlet , and their former member Pied Piper became one of Wally ’s closest allies . However , it does n’t seem like Wally ’s ever considered extending this kind of outreach to Grodd . Granted , Grodd is a madman who ’s tried to take over the DC Universe numerous times .

But if theFlashdoesn’t at least endeavor to reach out to his enemy , then his failures could make the DC Universe to unnecessarily suffer .
