    If it is Zoom, I wonder if he still remembers the pre-flashpoint time line, if so, it would be great to see some references the old universe

    Hmm. Not sure I dig the costume but as others have said, I've seen worse. It's no better or worse than what they stuck Kid Flash in.

    I was pretty sure the reverse flash was going to be Darwin Elias, but looking from the way he speaks he doesn't really sound like a scientist. And there's that line He always says you've got to move forward. This reverse flash clearly has a personal relationship with Barry, and although I doubt it's Wally, there is a chance he is an alternate Wally from the future or something.

    I thought I heard that Wally West may be coming to the new 52 soon, and was wondering what role he'd play!

    Really? I dunno, I think it looks alright... Never a fan of his old costume though, so I'm biased.

    Well since he's probably way to old to be kid flash (not to mention that title is already taken by Bart) He could probably have a brand new identity, like how Dick Grayson stopped being robin and went on to become Nightwing. But I hope this is the old Zoom we know and love because I'd hate it if they turned Wally into a villain.

    Nothing strikes me particularly as "Reverse Flash" besides the backwards lightning bolt. I think that's my biggest problem with it, it completely lacks that classic feel. Maybe I would've liked it more if they just dubbed him a new character with a new alias.

    For me, less is more when it comes to costumes, and this costume just ended up looking way too busy.

    The face also reminds me too much of a KISS reject. :p

    I can definitely see why you dislike it, lol.

    On the topic of his return, I hate the concept of "reverse" villains in general, so I'm sort of neutral on this reveal. Bizarro included. Actually, especially Bizarro.
