Flashpoint

[TheCorpulent1]

Was Wally in it?

 

[flash13]

No, but he was mentioned briefly.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

 

[The Batman]

That's what I thought. Oh well thats why I learned after a while never to ask Dew for anything always go to The Hitman (Malice) when you need something or Daisy .

lol, I just realized that, for all the time I've been here, I dont know mods as well as I should.

 

[Superman_]

Was Wally in it?

No, but he was mentioned briefly.

Why does that not surprise me. I hope Wally plays a part in Flash point and is not erased because of the events of Flashpoint.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I doubt Johns would ever erase Wally. Certainly not permanently, in any case. Maybe as part of a story where Barry saves him, but that's it.

 

[Superman_]

I know Corp, I'm just tired of seeing Wally being pushed aside like he never even mattered. I mean since Rebirth he has been MIA and I just think that's wrong.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It is kind of annoying. I'm hoping they give him a comic sooner or later. Maybe he'll do something cool in Flashpoint that'll launch him into a series...

 

[flash13]

I hate how DC dodges the question every time they are asked about Wally.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

There's gotta be some internal weirdness surrounding Wally. He was supposed to have a backup story in Barry's Flash series, then that got pulled at the last minute. Now no one seems to want to talk about Wally, period. Something's gotta be going on behind the scenes, even if it's just that editorial still isn't quite sure what the hell they want to do with Wally at this point (which is entirely possible, given how weird and often terrible DC's editorial division is).

 

[Hush]

Damn you all giving this good reviews makes me want to go buy it now.

 

[Batman]

Do you remember a while back when we had the poster named Batman_ sort of like how my name is. Well that's him. When the poster who held the username Batman gave it up he asked the mods for the name although he was a newbie ( and yes I can call him that because I've been here since the Hype's start only under a different name) at the time and most of the posters felt The_Batman should have been given the name since he was here longer ( although I'm not sure if The Batman wanted the name or not). Anyways either way it was explained that he got the name because he asked first. When he became a mod I don't know or care.

Actually, I used to go by Master Bruce. The guy who used to have this name changed his to Lone Wolf and asked if I wanted the name, since we knew eachother from some of the Hype games and he knew of my Bat-fandom. And I've been a mod since before the name change, so there was that.

But since nobody cares, I'll just quietly get back on topic...

I love Wally, and I agree that he got the royal shaft treatment, but I've honestly gotten over it. He has over twenty years under his belt as the primary Flash and a member of not only his own series, but different incarnations of the JLA, so I've remedied any sort of need to visit Wally again by going back and reading his many excellent runs by Waid (and Johns) over the years. As much as I hate to say it, fans of Barry Allen got equally as shafted when he originally died, and it took twenty plus years to bring him back for good, so it doesn't bother me as much that he's been thrust back into the spotlight. I mean, Wally will be back, it's only a matter of time. No retcon's going to last, no one creative team's going to keep writing The Flash. Eventually someone will come along and make things right for Wally fans like myself.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, but Barry fans aren't me, so f**k them.

 

[Batman]

Yeah, but Barry fans aren't me, so f**k them.

Once again I don't care I just think the name should have gone to The Batman but this is not the place or time for it and if I seem to remember correctly you were not a a mod before the name change. Not unless the name changed user twice.

 

[Batman]

If TB really wants it, he can come to me to work something out. I like the name, but everyone's pretty much told me that Master Bruce was a better handle for me.

 

[Mystirious]

Dont be Corp I think he is going to be in that mini series about Bart

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I may check that one out, actually. More of an emphasis on characters who matter instead of their wacky alternate-universe doppelgangers.

yea i knew Batman space was a newbie, like a year or so after me. I know your old name. if you're Master Bruce, that what happened to Batman space? is he died?

It sounds like it might be sort of neat. i think I will read the first issue and see what i think of it

If you are the Master Bruce who I use to joke with from the old SV forum then I approve of the name change. However if you're Batman_ you should give up the name.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Again with this Wally being written out stuff. Yeesh. He won't be written out.

Part of me wants to have it. The other part realizes im too much of an ******* to deserve it, lol. But I pretty much agree with Superman_. At least an old timer has it. Like Superman_, I thought Batman space still had it.

 

[The Batman]

This. DC wants people to get used to Barry, which wont happen if there's a Wally book out there. Kyle could easily get shipped to a GLC book cause Hal had a very strong fanbase. Here, Wally's been Flash for pretty much the entire modern age of comics. Hell, IGN just ranked him the 8th greatest comic character of all time, and Wally hasnt had a book in nearly 2 years.

Thats not to say this situation dosent suck. But I understand DC wanting to promote Barry.

 

[The Morningstar]

If Barry was worthwhile they wouldn't have to shunt Wally into limbo though. If he was that great a character, like Geoff Johns and Dan Didio constantly try to tell us, he'd be able to stand out on his own two feet even if there was 5 Flashes running around. But they know Wally would overshadow Barry, so they've got rid of him, basically.
