Bottom line is that it's pretty clear there wasn't a lot of love for Barry in DC in the 80s and 90s.
Their idea of the fix was stuff like the Death of Iris and Trial of The Flash. They thought taking the perfect guy with the perfect life through the mud would be an interesting turn. But Trial was so long and slow and gaudy that it actually helped build up the boring moniker.
