Not Sure if Good News for Us but Batman has been liberated from King just as he planned to revolutionise the Character (potentially like how he revolutionised Wally.)

This is not good news. It's GREAT news. YES!!!
Please, I wish you the best Mr. King, get that therapy you so need but I'm so happy you won't be destroying more fan favorite DC heroes by using the comics we love for working out your own personal issues.
I would like to think that the big blowback that he got with how he ruined Wally had something to do with this.
Maybe, just maybe they will reverse the damage he's done.
My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.

I mean, I like Lonsdale enough but I'm not sure if his Wally was popular or impactful enough for it to be that big of a deal. I could be wrong though.
I think there might be more of a fuss if Iris was ever portrayed as white again, but I'm not sure if it would be a dealbreaker.
He's still releasing more projects
Sure but then people will wonder why the hell they're both named Wally West.
Fair points that I would have agreed with about a decade ago. Outrage culture has gotten so out of hand at this point, though, that I'm reasonably sure that some people actually go out there looking for something to be offended by.
We still don't know what the story is. I doubt it has anything to do with Heroes in Crisis and is either about the head honchos at Warners changing their minds about the last-minute changes that King pitched them or, perhaps more likely, that if these final fifteen issues are such a big deal, maybe DC wanted to move them to their own maxi-series to maximize their impact or perhaps King will be joined by Gerads again and, riding high on the success of Mister Miracle, DC wanted to evoke that series at the same time. It's way too early to tell but I think it has less than nothing to do with Wally West.
Yeah, that response was pretty dickish.

Just say the younger one was named after the older one .
I mean...you're not wrong, I just don't think the negativity would outweigh the openness.Fair points that I would have agreed with about a decade ago. Outrage culture has gotten so out of hand at this point, though, that I'm reasonably sure that some people actually go out there looking for something to be offended by.
But I could definitely be wrong. I know diversity is very important to people.
I think folks would have a bigger issue with it on the grounds of DC using the excuse of "we are matching the tv show-so we can use him in comics." When all we heard when it was John Stewart, Vixen, Static and ESPECIALLY the entire cast of Black Panther-tv and movies don't matter when it comes to comics.
Why is that done based on the show when Cyborg can't reflect his superior outside of DC Comics writing?
There is too much stuff with a white Wally to throw him away and NOT expect folks to say something. Especially those who have seen the original TRASHED for 10+ years and the black one keeps getting poor writing in Flash.
Yeah you can use both but expect folks to say something about it. Because this is not Nick Fury where you can explain that as no one was burying the original one. The movies went with the one who looked like a famous guy.
Oh, I don't think that it's in the comics sphere itself that the objections will come from but from the wider culture who would only know Wally West from the TV series. He hasn't even been featured in animation in forever. Well, not as far as I know. Is he back for this season of Young Justice?
