    So fitting, I love it.
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    Plus when Booth was announced on Flash, people had a positive reaction, why so much hate now?
    It took 5 years, 2 relaunches, and the death of expectations for people to start saying positive things about his RH. And even still it’s a battle now for the book to make it into the top 100. This is seriously the same tune some people sang when they put him on Nightwing, and look how that turned out. So I think this reaction is more then warranted.

    I remember the same debate when Hal's "The Spectre" came out - do you support the character or refuse to support bad iterations of the character?

    I bought two issues each of "The Spectre." I'm on the side of, "if they stick around, they'll get good stories at some point and return to where you want them." (especially if what was done to the character was controversial and has a lot of detractors) But they can't if they're in limbo and DC won't even want to give them the opportunity. But that's me...

    I wonder how much of the mini will have them complaining about Wally or calling him out as a bad guy? Maybe flashback to Harley beating him up?

    Well, since most of the people employed by DC aren't writers, you're probably correct.

    Some one on reddit has point out that the face thing in the background is related to a character from Sideways and was tied to the Dark Multiverse.

    Indeed, it's Tempus the Fuginaut who protects the universe from the other dimensions like the Dark Multiverse.

    So I definitely think that what happened in Heroes in Crisis is tied to The Dark Multiverse/Batman Who Laughs. I really hate Metal, but if it helps to bring back Wally in full glory, I'm ok with this.

    I thought that was Dr Manhattans face in the back ground with a clock.mechanism to refer to Doomsday clock?

    Especially with the solicit that someone has been screwing with his life on a cosmic level.

    On a side note my dream team for a NORMAL Wally series would be Williamson and Duce. That Annual is still really good from last year.
    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

    So good in fact that he has to rely on nepotism to get any writing jobs at DC.

    Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch Bitch. How bout you know....waiting until the series comes out before passing judgement?
    Where was all these calls for compassion to writers when Comicgate was threatening, doxxing and harassing folks? Including those who got DEATH THREATS.

    But they can't if they're in limbo and DC won't even want to give them the opportunity.
    So pretty much hate buy a book.

    Understand something just because you don't see NEW stuff does not mean SOMEONE is not interested in using them.
    Where was the Wonder Twins at? They got a 12 part series after being MIA in mainstream DC for 22 years.
    Or Sugar & Spice?

    Meanwhile Vixen on 2 shows has NOTHING.
    Bumblebee on 3 shows and a toy line has NOTHING in comics.

    Except that if the series sells badly, they aren't going to view it as "The fans don't like what we did to Wally" but "The fans don't care about Wally." Low sales will just confirm to them that their idea that Wally isn't needed in their mind.
    It gets to a point of ENOUGH is ENOUGH. If that is what they think SO BE IT.
    Who gets hurt??? Not fans. That is money they are saving.

    And that is fine but don't expect everyone else to follow suit.
    And don't get made when you see more CRAP done to said character.

    If Wally's actions were the result of being corrupted by the Dark Multiverse/The Batman Who Laughs, I'll be fine with that. It's probably the ideal solution.

    As is, if his actions were his own, then there's no coming back from that, no redemption.
