DC HATES Wally West Flash

Wally West, the Flash, alongside Dick Grayson, Nightwing, has faced some hardships ever since his absence in the New 52 continuity of DC Comics after the Flashpoint storyline. Much of his history with The Flash family, Titans, and Justice League has either been retconned or rebooted in some way. Many characters like Batman and Superman had forgotten Wally's existence during DC Rebirth. It's a shame that many casual fans don't appreciate Wally West, as his most prominent appearances include Young Justice and Justice League Unlimited. It would be a cool addition for James Gunn to implement the Wally West version in the upcoming DCU, as it would resemble the DCAU lineup of the Justice League.

Dude I truly hope you turn this into a full on series because it's insane the amount characters DC be disrespecting 😂🤦

If they’re going to kill off the original character and have their sidekick to take their mantle, actually do it. Barry Allen had an amazing ending to his story sacrificing himself for the universe

[TheHeroHaven]

The disrespect on my main man Wally is disgraceful

[calvine]

Not to mention the disrespect outside of comics after Flashpoint. Killed in Young Justice, legs broken multiple times in Teen Titans Go, only in like the first five minutes of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract and then never seen again. He didn't appear in Titans even though he was one of the OGs. He barely even appears anywhere anymore outside of comics and when he does he is disrespected.

the last run Jeremy Adams flash run actually helped redeemed wally west for a lot of people and did wally west justice in my opinion.

The problem is once a speedster does something crazy, their expected to reach the same feat. Speedsters should just have a supersaiyan-like form where they can do something only when they are in the speed force long enough, or something to that degree

one that really isn’t talked about enough that’s another legacy character that got basically abandoned and is barely used in dc comics anymore is Kyle Rayner

I absolutely love Wally, especially the YJ verson, however, the only thing that I don't like about his character, even though he's my fav, is how they handled him and then killed him off. Wally is an insanely strong character (which I find really sad that we didn't get to see more of, especially with him being thrown aside in s2) yet they decided to neft him a shit ton. They made him a lot slower than both Barry and Bart, they put him into retirement because his speed was killing him, and then they gave him a non-justified ending where they practically made him a punching bag. Wally definitely deserved to be in the rest of the seasons and not killed off like he didn't even matter from the beginning.

I love the "they age the universe up too much" because batman has raised 4 kids and didnt age a day and no one gave a shit but suddenly its an issue

[elenacottica]

I once again thank Young Justice S1 and 2 for making a great Wally

[CapLives]

I think this has greatly changed in recent years. Unsurprisingly, things magically got better once Didio and Johns left DC. I think DC is now in a great place with its comics.

[lucastheprinceofdarkness]

Next you should do DC hates Batman X Catwoman or DC hates John Kent Superboy.

[soldierofgod]

Dc hate all there characters but Batman clearly they have like 10 Batman movies and the very first flash movie was ass I hope we get Wally west in the DCU

[Arthur-exyj]

I try to at least be thankful that DC made wally the main flash in the flash book again for the last few years. I gotta mention a couple of years ago when I was a teen I made a youtube video literally just like this, talking about how much dc hates wally and how great of a character he is, mentioned heroes in crisis too and all that. I checked the video again this week and it now has a few thousand views, I like to believe jeremy adams watched it 😅

DC has ruined too many legacy characters over the years: Wally, Tim, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Connor Hawke, and Roy Harper. And it all started with Dan Didio.
Didio is and always will be a bloody idiot. He was just an overgrown child who just preferred the old characters and hated the legacy characters, so he decided to screw them over and give the middle finger to fans. Why on earth was he in charge of DC for so long? He should have been fired from day 1.

Wally West has always been my favourite DC hero, and it makes me sick that dc keeps him over. The only piece of DC media to treat Wally with any respect is JL animated series. I know that version was a mixture of Wally and Barry, but it was my introduction to the character and it made me a fan. Seriously, the level of disrespectful DC has for Wally and other legacy heroes is just shameful.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

The Flash that gave the audience a lot of the things they like about the Flash. Even the costume. And then Dan DiDio and others were like "Take him behind the shed." At least Geoff Johns, who was always on his "Silver Age is king" mindset eventually reached his "My god, what have I done" arc. He set up Wally as really important, and then Dan DiDio, and to a lesser extent, Scott Snyder and Tom King were like "Nah, Imma do my own thing". So we never got to see Johns' vision for what Wally was going to do. But hey. At least they gave him Dr. Manhattan's powers like it was a video game power up. Hooray. Man, I love comics.

I have to agree with the view on legacy characters now-a-days. Not all of them are bad but it's gotten out of hand to see so many characters pass down their superhero identity to someone else. It was okay when only a handful were doing it. I really like Batman Beyond, X-23, and Wally himself. But it's come to a point where it's now an excuse to continue the name of something forward to cash in on nostalgia value, while under the disguise that it's something new and different.

Plus, it's just lazy writing to get something going fast as opposed to making new characters. There was a point in time when The Flash was a new concept, as was Superman and Batman. Dick Greyson is a representation of how to do a legacy character right, he took on a new superhero identity. An identity that he can be recognized for. And despite being a legacy character himself, Wally West earned his place as The Flash with the fans.

It's because he's got red hair THE END

[TheEntertainmentKnight]

Wally west flash deserves some respect

[richardestelle]

When flash told trickster after your done with drink turn yourself in and trickster said you got me again flash at that moments he was my favorite line ever
