As we talked about Walter, I found this :
A few people asked this next one, but I’ll credit the first guy who asked it. Jon asks: In the ‘Dark Flash’ arc (the Flash 2nd series 152 – 159) there is a sequence on Wally/Walter (the Dark Flash)’s Earth where he is battling ‘our’ Wally. During the sequence ‘our’ Wally makes a couple of statements, one of which is that “we hate time travel because of what happened the first time we tried it alone”. The line backs up a comment made much earlier (if memory serves this was during the Reckless Youth arc from Flash 2nd series 91-94) when he offers to return Iris Allen to the future. Iris replies “you never got over that thing when you were a kid” (or words to that effect). My question for Mark is simple, if he didn’t write a story addressing this plot point (and as a reader with every issue of Waid’s run among others) I don’t believe he did.. what the heck happened to Wally the first time he time traveled solo?
Mark Waid : It’s the one Flash story I never got a chance to tell. Since it’s unlikely I’ll ever be invited back, the short version is this: Wally’s first solo time-trip was to save a classmate from death, but he failed. So he tried again. And again. And again to the point where everything he was doing was just making other lives worse. The lesson to be learned was that time travel can’t fix everything. In other words, I guess, I created Flashpoint about 20 years early…? (Kidding. I kid.)

I miss them a lot. I think they are a signature of Wally's. It really separated him from Barry. As well as it looked really cool.
When Johns took over and he got rid of them Wally looked exactly like Barry. And when Barry was brought back in Final Crisis and they were right next to each other then forget about it.

Lol. I don't remember that. I think it was just an excuse to "Barry" Wally up more. So that Johns could match his Barry lite personality he tacked onto Wally.
Thanks goodness for the Flash Rebirth suit that brought a lot of Wally's signature looks back. Dark red, shiny chrome and of course the white eyes.

This was perfect and frankly one of my favorite images.
Too bad it didn't last too long.
