Bendis saying he loves Wally means he loves Wally.
I don't see why that should be cast in a negative light.

The idea of the current Booster Gold becoming core to the DCU is...disturbing.
Have they, though? For the most part, King aside, I've only heard of writers loving Wally who you would think love Wally (people who've written The Flash or are writing The Flash).
Yes, they have. A common place you'll see it is AMAs on reddit where the common question of "Wally or Barry" is asked where you'll get a PC non-answer or tacit support of Wally. Which is odd, since the company would certainly prefer them to say they like Barry the most, so it's not like anyone's forcing it on them. People like Manapul stated they loved Wally and demanded he be in the comic but was barred from doing it. They'd even have editors scanning the background of his comic to make sure no one who looked like Wally showed up so he just gave up on the idea.
The only one to buck this trend is Williamson, who only started saying he liked Barry better the second he started writing The Flash...Go figure.
It's pretty sensible. Writers tend to like good writing. You'd be hard pressed to find a main continuity DC character with a much better written character arc spanning multiple generations than Wally. All the characters of similar, consistent quality are usually one run standouts (your Jack Knights, Buddy Baker's and the like).

For What its worth, Bendis mentioning Wally in his AMA when asked if he'd like to write him stating he loves Wally, could bode well with Wonder Comics existing, Maybe Bendis will give him a home there if DiDio doesnt want him in Mainstream books

World War 2 era Wally.
My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.

Sometimes you have to. Because sometimes that ONE guy makes the difference.Bendis is one of the few I would give a pass. He's new to the DC scene and busy with a lot of stuff. He already brought back YJ, shouldn't put all your hopes in one guy.
21 years ago Priest took on Black Panther with NO support from management. His work laid the seeds for an Oscar nominated film.
No one cared for Supergirl until Peter David showed up.
How dump in the toilet was John Stewart before Bruce TImm & Dwayne McDuffie?
What was Luke Cage & Jessica Jones doing before Bendis?
Bendis KILLED off a version of Peter Parker and gave us Miles Morales. Then prove Miles & real Peter could co-exist.
If he likes Wally-Bendis will get Wally.
