My name is Wally West. I"m the fastest man alive. I"m the Flash.
Favorite Heroes - 1-Flash/Wally West, 2-Superman, 3-Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, 4-Nightwing, 5-Hawkman, 6-Firestorm, 7-Supergirl/Linda Danvers, 8-Zatanna, 9-Robin/Tim Drake
Well, that's just awful.
There's a simple reason for this. When they brought Barry back, instead of treating him like a man out of time with a personality very distinct from most other superheroes out there except for maybe Superman (though he is still much geekier than Clark), they just shoved him back into the role of the DCU's main Flash and figured that in order for that to work, he can't be, say, the way Waid portrayed him in JLA: Year One because that's not "cool" enough. So, effectively, they retconned nonsense about Barry generating the speed force, killed his mother and gave him a watered down Wally-West-esque personality. I'm all for having Barry Allen around but if they're just going to write him as a much less interesting Wally West, what's the point?
Also, as others have noted, most of this newest generation of comic writers grew up with Wally as their Flash so that's what they default to.

They really should've had Barry almost be like Captain America but put to even more extremes. Have him always dress in suits with bowties, talk like he's on the way to the sock hop with his best gal, that kinda thing. It would be pretty distinct and he could be almost a living embodiment of a super-hero in a world of superheroes if you get what I mean.

Absolute, concentrated tripe. That most hackneyed attempt at saying something profound and saying nothing of the sort.
Couldn't let that be your last look at Wally so here you go ...... snippet from Doomsday Clock 10

Think of the second dumbest ending and pretty much what you get. spoilers:end of spoilers Thankfully there are still ways to retcon this out of existence. This series and flash war isn't good for anything but to rip into pieces.
Him ending in suicide squad would have been dumber
