Not what I'm talking about. Wally post-Rebirth is someone no one remembered, knew, or even missed. No milestone in his career is his anymore, his uniform sucks, his stories have been absorbed by his predecessor. Fix all of those things first, and then you think about what needs to be changed.
As long as it's built from Wally west the Flash, not Wally West the time displaced sidekick that editorial tried to screw one too many times, again, fine. First you make Wally WALLY, than you go about mucking things.
A lot has been done:Nothing has been done, aside from a new costume. Everything has been on a story-by-story basis. No effort has been made to establish a long-term status quo or mission statement for the character.
- We had "Wally with a pace maker", which would be spun as "The Flash who can't run"
- We had Wally remembering his lost family, which would be spun as "The sad Flash"
- We had Wally killing a bunch of people and almost joining Suicide Squad, which would be spun as "The criminal Flash".
- And now we have Wally with a big cosmic stick, which apparently will be spun as "The Flash who hops the multiverse, so no other character has to talk about him or interact with him ever".
All of those (except for the last one) directions failed because they're crap, and they're built from the premise of "making the character suck to distinguish from Barry." That's what I'm saying; FIRST, you make Wally his former awesome self. You secure his status among the super-hero community, you give him back his relationships (as many as possible), a decent uniform, his most relevant feats. And THEN you think about setting him apart from his uncle.
What has been done sop far, and what they apparently are trying to do, as I said, is crap and should be (and, thankfully, has been) treated as crap.
