    A punch thrown in 1 femtosecond is about over 2.5 million times faster than light.

    I put this stuff down to hyperbole usually. He's just making a threat from that scan (I have no other context to go off) which characters of all sorts do all the time. It's kind of like me saying to my kids "you have half a second to stop that or I'm gonna kill you", even though I couldn't do anything within half a second, nor would I ever actually kill my kids - it's a threat to show that I'm serious and they need to do as they're told, is all.

    Femto-second? Nah, not that fast.

    Nanosecond is more like it.

    He can't use that speed. The only character that can is the Flash and no one else i believe.

    Didn't he hit the flash in n52? The flash in the n52 states that he reacts the femto-second he senses something.

    Maybe the flash was just being cocky and let his guard down?

    Technically pre 52 Flash said he had an attosecond reaction time, which is faster than a femtosecond, so its still possible.
