The Official Flash thread

[WompuM]

This was EVS's facebook status today. And it's the second time he's had Impulse in his status. I will be highly shocked if we dont see teenaged bart in flash rebirth. I'm also predicting Wally as Kid Flash.

 

[Franklin Richards]

It's already been done in the final arc in Wally's own title. Apparently Wally can't keep the same power level he has gotten without making Barry look weak.
Now he's back to his Silver Age speed IIRC. I bet Barry 's speed is amplified to Wally's previous level.

Now you're just making **** up.

the last issue of Flash I have which is #247....Wally talks about feeling the Speed Force again and being back at full power....but also talking about the importance of his family

 

[Franklin Richards]

See above.

I will vomit if Wally winds up back in that f***ing Kid Flash costume.

 

[BlackLantern]

It probably means he hasn't done that many pages since working on 'Impulse'

 

[WompuM]

Yeah, but this isnt the first time he's mentioned Impulse. Too many coincidences blackL. Too many.

 

[cerealkiller182]

What's the coincidence? Hes talking about a past project of his

 

[BlackLantern]

Impulse is a title he became well known for.....Johns brings up Stars and STRIPE alot...you see any hidden meanings there?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Given that he put Stargirl on the JSA, you wouldn't be remiss to.

 

[BlackLantern]

and I happen to like her, I don't know why.....it was 'Sins of Youth' that got me favoring her when the whole JSA got turned into hyper powered kindergarteners and she had to keep them under control while helping Doiby Dickles and Mary, Girl of a 1,000 gimmicks

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is there anyone left dead in comics?

Bucky.......no.

Jason Todd......aw damn, no.

Bruce Wayne's parents! Umm....I think. I need to ask Grant Morrison about that...

 

[BlackLantern]

Gwen Stacy...the real one, not the Osborn clone is dead

Aztek....

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Uncle Ben is still dead.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Pa Kent is dead. Couldn't be the Silver Age, Take 2 if he were still alive.

 

[BlackLantern]

I don't get the point of killing Pa Kent....tragedy for tragedys sake

 

[Wesley Dodds]

They've been killing him and bringing him back for years.
Pa Kent is to Superman what Joe Chill is to Batman and the Diana Prince persona is to Wonder Woman.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Joe Chill's the one that annoys me the most out of all of them. I hate that they brought him back. I liked that the murder of Batman's parents is the one crime he could never solve.

Completely agree. It being a random senseless crime justified his mission better. Putting a face to the killer makes it to easy for him... I blame Batman Begins.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Symbolism > Joe Chill.

 

[The Major]

Now you're just making **** up.

:gl: :gl: :gl:

My mistake. I hadn't read the entire last arc just the early issues where he got depowered by Zazaza.

 

[Franklin Richards]

I can see throwing down the comic in disgust after that happened. But ya gotta read till the end.

Makes sense that Batman would be able to discover who killed his parents IMO. He is the greatest detective in the DCU. Would look odd if he can't find the culprit who got the whole Batman thing going.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Not all crimes are solved. I'm not sure if Sherlock solved 'em all. Prolly did though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

By the time he had the skills necessary to be called "the world's greatest detective," it'd be a 15-year-old cold case. Very few cold cases are actually solved, especially after so much time. Plus, it's not like there are that many clues in the first place. Some random dude popped out of an alley to mug his parents. There's no prior connection between the victim and the suspect to pursue or anything like that, and even the identity of the suspect eluded everyone because traumatized little Bruce was the only witness to the crime and in previous versions of the origin, he never even saw the killer's face.

But putting aside the literal justification, the symbolism is much more potent to me if Batman's parents are victims of faceless street crime rather than one guy whom Batman could (and does, in current canon) catch.

Although, I suppose I should count myself lucky at this point that they at least haven't made the Joker Joe Chill.
