Wally's stuck being "the other young adult speedster."

***

Wally's not the only one....most of the original Teen Titans now fall into this category of being between their Justice League mentors and the new age of youngsters. 

Wally West - Bart Allen

Dick Grayson - Tim Drake (not to mention the recently returned Jason Todd...)

Donny Troy - Cassie Sandsmark

Roy Harper - Connor Hawke and Mia (last name?)

I recall when Infinite Crisis was going on, there was talk that Dick Grayson was going to be killed off, but they changed direction.  Maybe they actually have a plan on how to deal with this....somehow I doubt it though.

Maybe not present tense, but. . . .

The three stage panel looks interesting...

Apparently somebody gives a crap about JB's version of the Return of Barry Allen:

FLASH BYRNE

So, just how would John Byrne have brought Barry Allen back? ...

Simple, really. It's very, very, very hard to "kill" a character who can travel in Time. How old was Barry when he "died" in CRISIS? For all we know, he could have been 106.

My idea was to simply have Barry pop into existence in the "current" DCU, returning from one of his trips thru time to find he'd "missed his target" because of disruptions caused by CRISIS. He would then live out whatever life (nature and duration) the Powers that Be would allow.

(I also had an idea that, since Wally was being The Flash, Barry would take on another identity for a while, knowing that sooner or later he had to go die in CRISIS. But when the moment came, Wally would bushwhack him, take his place, and that would actually have been Wally we saw die.)

As to the man who wrote "Flash: Rebirth," Byrne asks "What the _____ happened to Geoff Johns? There was a time when he seemed to know what he was doing!"

"Flash: Rebirth" #1 sold out on release and a second print is on the way.

Thats an accomplishment? DC uses their absolute last big stunt to boost sales. Chuck Austen could wrote it and it would of sold out.
