Just when will DC allow Barry to see just what Flashpoint has cost him ?

[Cmbmool]

After reading this CBR article (https://www.cbr.com/the-flash-rebirt...llen-marriage/) and the events of Flash War I have to ask when will DC allow Barry to see just what the events of Flashpoint has cost him overall ?

Plus WHY DOESN'T Barry regain his own Pre-Flashpoint memories ?

As a fan of the Flash what do you think of this ?

Well, it wasn't Barry's fault that Thawne was able to go back in time and change Barry's past.
Once DC allows Barry to fix that problem (so that his mother no longer died when he was younger), many other things can then be corrected.

I think he does know...except it's all abstract rather than something he remembers empirically experiencing.

Forgive me for saying this, but I have no idea what you're saying ???

the ongoing saga in Flash will ultimately culminate with Barry stopping Thawne and saving his mother, successfully. I guarantee it.

What did Flashpoint cost Barry, though?

We were gone by Flash: Rebirth.

Now, that series cost Barry (and everyone else) a lot.

He's probably heard (perhaps from Wally) that he once had another life wherein he and Iris had been married for years, but he doesn't remember actually having lived that life.

Even today, the way Geoff Johns just threw away Savitar shits me to tears.
Such a great character with SO much potential brushed aside like an afterthought.
UGH

I think Barry will remember everything come the end of Doomsday Clock.
DC will drag it out for another year.

So, once again it all falls back on Geoff Johns?

maybe superdad when he had just showed up should have met the Martian manhunter to enable all he knew of preflashpoint reality to be shared with the league telepathically which could have reset their memories or more probably it would have led to a Carol Danvers like situation where they had the memories but couldn't relate to them or accept them as having occurred.

I would like that. The Rebirth retcon was completely unnecessary. Before Crisis, he still had both of his parents alive. They came to to his wedding and everything. Nowadays, you’re hard-pressed to find any Silver or Bronze Age character with living, married parents.

What makes restoring Barry's original, Silver Age origin story and background difficult at this point is that the Post-FLASH REBIRTH (2009) interpretation is now deeply embedded in other media, including animation, live action TV, and live action cinema. If not for that consideration, it would be much easier to revert to the Silver Age origin.
