Dead Heat was SO awesome.
I still can't believe that Savitar was just thrown away by Geoff Johns.
He was such a great character - especially when juxtaposed against Wally.
A speedster who could give his speed to his zealot followers? How cool is THAT??
I waited YEARS for him to return, and then...... UGH.

Count me in for Dead Heat being my favorite Flash arc of all time! It really does stink that Savitar was thrown away in a panel of stupidity and not to mention how awful the TV show handled him as well.

So they desecrated Savitar in the TV series as well? (So glad I stopped watching early second season.)

To be fair, he was Savatar in name only. Literally everything else about him was different.

He was basically the New 52 Future Flash with Savitar's name.

And I loved that Wally didn't actually defeat him. The best he could manage was to negate him by giving him what he wanted... but with a twist.
RE: the TV show version. I was STOKED when they said Savitar was going to be the villian and then left asking WTF was going on when he appeared.
A massive opportunity missed and another Wally villian they could have palmed off to Barry Allen.

And he stole Megatron’s armor.

I’m not even sure he was the Future Flash. Sure he comes from the future but he never wanted to fix or change it.

That "Savitar" was so lame. Among the other things people have mentioned above he was just an evil time remnant which is just dumb and didn't really make a lot of sense to me.

Such a shame since the actual character of Savitar is such a great villian.

Agreed. Probably my favorite Flash villain.

Probably mine as well. But I would have to think about it a bit.

But I mean, awesome visual, he was the leader of a freakin super speed ninja army and was the master of the newly and very cool speed force which Wally was just starting to discover.

How cool is all that?

I thought he worked fine for the show even if the time travel logic was faulty, but by that point I think even the cast realized it didn't make any sense.

See? This is why I dislike every single live-action DC TV/movie to one extent or another. It starts out small like way-out-in-left-filed like eye and hair color. Then before you know it you're looking cross-eyed at what they pick for classic villains and mashups of famous story arcs.
Minor tweaking because some things like spandex does not play awfully well in live action? Sure. But they go way overboard. All I really need to do is point out Movie "Barry"'s tranformer costume and that should earn me some amens.

Are we about due for Didio's personal character three-part story arch that just happens to have Wally thrown into it for what I presume will be more torture? Because CBR hasn't even been advertising the release of Doomsday Clock in their Previews section so I'm never sure.
I'd look it up, but as you may have surmised from the beginning of this paragraph I'm still lukewarm on whether I should actually be caring.

Yeah I saw this. I'll give issue 1 a try, but my expectations are very low.
I also see it's shipping with 3 covers. Way to bump up those initial numbers DC!
