Johns visited New York City, where he met DC Comics workers, such as Eddie Berganza, reigniting his childhood love for comics while filming Donner's 1997 film Conspiracy Theory.

With issue 164, Johns became the regular writer on the Flash continuing series. "I turned Keystone City into a car town when I wrote The Flash," Johns' book The Flash represents one example of his simulation of various aspects of his stories. A lot of my characters are from Detroit. I believe Detroit's self-made, blue-collar heroes represent the city. The Flash Flash of Wally West was like that. "I took the city and the people there and used it in the books." With #225, Johns' Flash run came to an end.
