Yeah, Geoff Johns.

He doesn't know anything about the Flashes.

Why is any one getting all giddy at the idea of Barry returning permanently?

This sounds a like a really stupid idea.

I didn't say Geoff Johns, I said DC.

For every great issue written by Johns or some other author who gets characters right, there's 3 issues written by some fill in writer who's trying to make a name for himself by making things seem edgy and whatnot.

Oh course, I only have this fear because of how god awful the flash books have been Post-IC

Wouldn't have been a problem, if they would have stuck with Bart.

Well, something's happening to Wally...

i think its that they had crap writing since wally's return as much as anything else...

good writing would have made it work imo...

There wasn't a good writer available interested in Wally. I love the character but his time had expired (like all characters eventually do) and it's even more aggravating because Guggenheim's Bart Flash book was starting to kick ass.

i thought it only got good when bart was really up against it... if he hadn't been marked for death, i doubt it would have been as good...

and i don't think wally's time had passed, just that it was always going to be hard to write him after what johns spoiled us with...

I really enjoyed Bart's run as the Flash. It's too bad they killed him, he had potential.

The bit that worries me is when he says
'Id like to develop the quasi science of the Speed Force'

We're obviously going to get more fictional meta physics which is only going to confuse writers in the future. I mean although thewill powered plasma of the green Lanterns has made sense to a certain degree, its already causing problems . Rings seem to be not work at full capacity's when not fully recharged, yet there are numerous incidents to contradict this . As long as he doesn't make the Flashes speed related to some mystic spiritual concept I'll be happy. This is suppose to be science Fiction; not religion.

So... Who read #2?

Spoiler:
Barry as the Black Flash. Honestly didn't see that coming, even thought it makes sense with what happened to Savitar... Hal Jordan Spectre anyone?

I agree with everything said about Bart on this page.

Such a stupid idea to kill his character off...then they bring him back and younger and less important role...why?
