Bart dies and because of the Legion's actions with the lightning rods Wally is back with his wife and twins. All of the cant help but make me ask what was the point? A year of story telling about a new Flash only to kill him and essentially return things to the status quo? The only real difference now is that Wally's twins are in their teens but there were many other ways that this could have taken place instead of removing Wally for a year. It seems like DC is really just writing stories for shock value now. I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks it was kind of pointless but I just wanted to get your guys opinion on it.

I liked Bart. It makes me sad to see him die, but at least we have Wally back

I'll explain briefly...


Flashes never die...they go to the Speed Force313

Are we sure thats still true? I mean it has been acting a little strange lately.

They're like Jedi shock

Ok, I'm just gonna say it. Bart sucked. He was butchered as a character and they killed most of the story potential. Wally being back as the Flash is the best thing to happen to the character in awhile. Screw Bart, welcome back Wally West.

Wise, the wisdom of Yodur is. duryoda

Why is everyone using spoilers?
It says "spoilers" in the title...

If they don't want to get it ruined for them, they wouldn't come into the thread...

I recall you being a huge Bart hater previously.

Ahh, but what if you have the same character, in the same suit as the one in your sig?

different picture, then it doesn't matter. Anyway to be on topic for once, I actually don't care much for either Bart nor Wally. I only like Barry and Jay....

Although I don't think they necessarily have to KILL Bart, I'm glad he's being replaced with Wally. Their idea of replacing a ton of heroes is just annoying. Vic didn't need to be replaced by Montoya. She was doing fine as a character beforehand. Ted obviously needed to be replaced since he was, you know, dead, lol. But we didn't need a new Aquaman, a new Atom, Firestorm, etc on top of all that. A few alterations are a nice change of pace but Wally's leaving had no substance to it. There wasn't a reason for it at all. They just went for a revamp for the hell of it.

Obviously, Bart can't cut it as the Flash yet cause he's still just a kid. I think it would've made more sense to have Wally come back and send Bart away to train, sort of, since thrusting him into the spotlight was too much weight for him to handle. That way we don't have Bart, we have Wally, but the Bart fans can look forward to him eventually having his own place - maybe as an adult Impulse?

Gay.

Wally owns.

Bart rocks (as "Impulse" and "Kid Flash"

They over-stepped the mark and tried to make Bart step up and be the new Flash, was a horrible mistake, so they get rid of him.

Wonderful .

Flash,superman,Wonder Woman,Batman,Green Lantern and Aquaman should all die.


Then other heroes will be able to shine.

and still get owned by Black Adam

Or Mary Marvel.

Go to hell Bart!

Bart was a good character who I thought was awesome as Impulse/Kid Flash, but aging him and forcing him onto people as the Flash when he wasn't ready and there was no need to get rid of Wally was a stupid mistake.

I guess Wally's kids will be the new Kid Flash/es, although I would have prefered it if they weren't aged either, little toddler speedsters would have been funny.

Bah! Lucky Flash fans.

I wish they'd kill off the new Aquaman and bring back the real deal, but NOooOoOOoOOo. All we get is a solicitation saying that he'll be around in the DCU for a looong time.

Bastards.

The Legion was aiming for Barry Allen so thats probably the best guess.

wow you guys comic acumen is really slipping.....am i the only who can read between the lines... brainy said "we got who we wanted" remember bart is from the 30th century it could be him they came for

That's a bit of a reach since Bart comes from a different 30th century than that Legion does but reaching seems to be the order of business at DC these days so I wouldn't doubt it.

WOO! clap

I dont get it....all hints and implications from teen titans and older comics point as Bart being the Flash one day....like the best flash ever. Yet they kill him off? Why not just stop having him be emo? I dunno it bugs me for some reason. I like Wally, but the flash mantle has always been the only hero mantle thats REALLY been passed along the ages...the sidekick turning into the hero and so forth. Plus with the speedforce all in him, he could truely have been badass.....

Even though the first story arc with Bart as the Flash wasn't good I thought the book was constantly improving.
