Yeah, Spurrier mentioned in a relatively recent AMA that he was drawing Barry into his plans to the point it's "becoming a Tale Of Two Flashes".
I think there were some issues in season one as well.
The two biggest being how the show went overboard with the thing with M'Gann to the point people found it uncomfortable, and how the...
In the Teen Titans: Judas Contract movie that was part of the old DCAMU.
It opened with a flashback of the Titans when they met Starfire that included Robin (Dick), Speedy, Kid Flash, Bumblebee,...
Bart was supposed to be a two-three year bridge to Barry.
But since sales were falling fast, they ended the run after a year and hoped bringing Wally back would help stabilize sales until Barry...
The point is Barry's creation was fundamentally built on recycling concepts from Jay's tenure in a lot of ways. The premise behind his character was being a retooled version of a character that had...
I never understood the idea that one of the big three were somehow more important to the mythos than the other two.
I mean, the name, powers, and lab accident origin originated with Jay. The...
Was he?
Admittedly, I completely stopped watching around the time Wally ran in front of a car in hopes of jumpstarting his powers, but up until then, nothing really made me think of Wally. Or, at...
Baron has admitted he wasn't at his best at the time due to doing a lot of a certain substance.
Now he wasn't the only one involved, but I think he was already quite successful when he got the...
It's possible, but Adams is planning on creating a kids team around the West twins and Maxine Baker. So this could be him idly wondering about potential members for that team.
It was an interview that was linked by Leancarp900 a few pages ago with EVS' breakdown on the matter quoted.
The thing is his take doesn't line up with what seemingly happened.
EVS claims he started pushing for Barry when "the series was having a lot of trouble and suffered through three relaunches that...
Morrison mentioned their initial plan for Final Crisis was that Barry would have been from an alternate earth and Didio/Johns convinced them to simply bring Barry back from the dead. Morrison has...
It's definitely on his wishlist.
He also mentioned more recently that someone else already has 'dibs' on Kyle when asked about him. Whether that means Williamson did take the reunion for...
Barry's actual history in the current timeline is different, though.
For example, he and Iris have never been married according to Jeremy Adams after talking with Williamson. His death also...
It does seem like they've really downplayed his character on the show.
In the books, he was considered to be arguably the best warrior in Westeros at the time and became the Lord Commander while...
Jeremy Adams did another interview a few days ago. Starts talking about the book around the 4:20 mark.
Some quick tidbits:
(1) Barry and Iris currently aren't married. Though Wally having his...
I mean, she did kill and injure a lot of innocent civilians as well in that scene so it isn't like she cares about them.
Honest question: how did Williamson do on that front in his 100+ issue run?
I recall he had Linda approach Piper about his engagement in a big splash page near the very end, but I don't remember...
Of course.
The point being Wally wearing it made it "The Flash" suit rather than just the suit Barry wore. It wouldn't be viewed the same way today without Wally and that should be acknowledged.
Do you really believe the suit would still be considered iconic to this day if Wally hadn't worn some variation of it throughout his run?
We would have most likely have gotten Wally in Smallville as well if they weren't forbidden from using any of the characters that held the Flash name in comics at that point.
They did have issues with Wally/Kid Flash as well.
They asked if they could use him before planning each of the first three seasons and were told no for reasons. They ended up creating Más y Menos...
Most casual fans don't even know who Kyle Rayner is these days.
When they see the costume and images, sure.
But as Adams mentioned, he has frequently been told by Wally fans they didn't know Wally took over since there had been little media hype about it and...
