WE WILL NEVER FORGET WALLY WEST.

Also, don't blame Barry Allen the character, blame the inept writers who refuse to allow Barry and Wally to both exist in the New 52 universe...

Nope. No one will ever forget Wally. But I'm not mad about Barry being the Flash again. He's pretty cool in his own right.

The New 52 is less then a year old, give the new DC universe some time to grow before you start bitching about it, jeez.

THIS.

...and besides, the counter-argument is also true: Barry was the Flash for 30 years before Wally was, and he sacrificed his own life to protect the world(s)...I know you guys really like Wally, but I don't think Barry gets enough respect around here - and 'The Flash' title is actually REALLY good - and this still isn't enough, in addition to Katie24's comment?

The legacy aspect of the flash is one of the coolest qualities about the stories. They are dropping the ball there at least a little.

Barry's Death is one of the reasons I'm upset about his return, Barry is a great character but his death was one of the most heroic and Iconic deaths in the history of comics and bringing him back cheapened it and pretty much all of Wally's growth as a character since Barry's death has been negated.

@FIash: I believe they are discussing Geoff Johns inability to let the silver age go

I feel like New 52 dropped the ball on all things Teen Titans related, including the lives of Wally and Tempest.

I agree with both these statements.

Don't forget Donna Troy...

@mr.obvious: Her too, but I just don't care as much about her.

Wally will make a return. As much hate as they are receiving from fans, they will feel pressure to add him in sooner rather than later.

Are we to build a shrine?

Little can be done by us to be honest.

They will bring him back one day.

Wally is a major character. He will come. Stop making these threads. He is going to come in time. They are not just going to drop Wally for good. That's ridiculous to think.

I'm not a huge fan of hers but I'd like to see her brought back as well.

i think what most of you are all forgetting is that wally ids perhaps the best hero in all the dc universe when you really get down to it. i mean, really. who had the best superhero career if not wally? he started out as a normal kid, met the flash, became a teen titan, and then lived the dream. he went from a titan to become his favorite hero on the league. i mean, if that's not the most successful career out there i don't know what is. cause it damn sure isn't nightwing, cause lets face it. dick didn't want the cowl. and that's what made him perfect for it. but once bruce got back he gave it right up.

but frankly i think this goes well beyond just dropping the ball with wally. so many characters changed. like babs. i loved her as a crimefighting hero. but we have enough of those. as oracle, she was one of a kind, nothing else out there like her in dc or marvel! i think this all falls on dcnu.
