Everyone associated with the Teen Titans has a target on their back. Don't forget Dan Didio tried to kill off Nightwing.

[dr.balance]

That Hal Jordan panel is even funnier in Argentina, they translated "will" as a name. So it says "I don't even know who will is" in Spanish

[MrYungfras]

I swear Ginger Wally is just a punching bag for writers.

[Sunstar]

I’m one of those for whom the animated Justice League series brought Wally West to the forefront. Loved that show!

[GenerationWest]

Do I have to say anything at this point? Can just say: "Look how they constantly massacre my boy" or "Pain".
I share the same last name as him, loved him for 20+ years, and he's my logo. So, you can say, I took it personally.

DC: Oh you guys want more Wally West?
Fans: Yes please!
DC: Oh okay we'll now we're making him a villian that kills people with no remorse.
Fans: :(

Once I read the solicit of Wally West being a villain, had no interest reading this Future State Flash comic.

Like you said, Wally could pull a Nightwing, come up with a different name. Find his own city to look after, but they need to bury Wally West cause Barry Allen has to be the definitive Flash.

The most unfair thing to me that has happened with Wally is that DC never had these issues when Jay Garrick came back. He was just the Flash alongside Wally who was also the Flash....plus with Impulse, Jessie Quick, Xs and a host of others it’s not like the Flash Family does t have room fo him.

[caseygibson]

We've seen from Heroes in Crisis where he killed a bunch of heroes "that no one will probably care about" via a way his powers don't even yes, yes they do

[joemacdonald]

Dc hates legacy characters like wally Roy Nightwing and Donna troy at one stage or another each have been depicted as evil or having an identity crisis or just killed off

[azuretiger-kfpmarketingstr]

"DC hates Wally West!"
Cassandra Cain fans "Welcome to the club."

[djpegao]

Wally has been inflicted with the DiDio disease, even when he's not on the damn company his disdain for him can still be felt.

[Harleyxjokerforever]

I am not a Flash fan. Not in the slightest but do feel bad for how they treat Wally. I mean didn't he just get redemption after the whole Heroes in Crisis incident?

[Eyrrll]

This was probably the best summary of the Flash conundrum that I have ever seen... well done!

If I had a footnote to add, it’s that even Post-Crisis Wally was not universally well received at first. Many readers that grew up on Barry’s comics were furious when that “punk kid” dared to try to replace Barry. Sadly, I am old enough to remember many of those comic shop conversations.

[CeeZeeChary]

Heroes in Crisis is one of those things where the story exists without much reason other than "Didio wanted it, and Geoff couldn't think of anything for Wally to do in Doomsday Clock (Much like most of the Build-up to Doomsday Clock, the years building it up were a bit of a waste)".
I think it's also the reason Superman Reborn happened way too soon. Because otherwise Superman would be the same one Wally knew, and Superman could've legitimately helped Wally. But this was conveniently forgotten and the two never met until after Supermans histories got merged. Big missed opportunity for a good story there.

Me: can you give Wally West a break?
DC: No! In fact, we're gonna frame you for murder and you're going to jail for 30 years!
Me: why are you doing this to me?
Wally: 🎶 Because we're DC Comics. And life is a fucking nightmare!🎶

[DeadUnicornClub]

Future State: An idea where we lean heavily on legacy, letting old characters fade away while new character take up the mantle.
Fans: Great! You already have a great legacy Flash in Wally, or you can have Wallace. Many to choose from!
DC: Na bro.

[bryanabbott]

Flash Rebirth gave Wally a new secret identity as a police department carpool mechanic for the Keystone Police Department. But Geoff Johns should have taken a step further and gave him a new hero name.

You know, the whole 'stepping out of the shadow of their mentor' kind of thing that was given to the rest of the original Teen Titans. Have Wally and his family move to New York, with him working for the NYPD, while being closer to his old pals in the Titans.

[elliottf]

I love your idea of Wally pulling a Nightwing and growing into his own character. He has his own Speed abilities and personality, he may as well become his own hero

[georgewilkinson]

Considering there was a time that they made two Batmen work, Why does Wally need to change. Jay Garrett has also been called the Flash. Wally West can evolve into a new identity or just stay the Flash. Put him in Checkmate like they did with Roy Harper. Do we have to go the Cliche route?
