Wally West lost the most. He's not around then it's he's lost in the Speed Force. He loses his family with no chance of getting them back.
The Gypsies had no home. The Doors had no bass.
Does our reality determine our fiction or does our fiction determine our reality?
Whenever the question comes up about who some mysterious person is or who is behind something the answer will always be Frank Stallone.
"This isn't a locking the barn doors after the horses ran way situation this is a burn the barn down after the horses ran away situation."
The only real argument against Wally is that he lost most everything due to Flash Rebirth, which was technically not the reboot yet.
Batman lost being entertaining and fun.
I was going to say that the people who wrote Crisis didn't seem to have to worry about the Superman books themselves, and were just worried about streamlining the DCU as a whole, but... then I remembered Marv Wolfman went straight into writing Superman after Byrne's reboot, didn't he?
Ah well, I've always thought he was wrong about the multiverse, perhaps he was woefully wrong about Superman's "streamlined"ness as well.
Freaking savage, but there's definitely a sense of swashbuckling derring-do that I feel like just... vanished in Frank Miller's wake. I don't know that I'd chalk it up to the reboot, but it's a real and serious thing that happened to him.
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
I always felt that Crisis of Infinite Earths should've ended with three parallel worlds remaining - Earth 1, Earth 2, and Earth 'whatever'. Earth 'whatever' could be used to tell Elseworld types of stories (I realize this happened long before the term 'elseworld' was coined, but still...). That way, most of Earth 1 & 2 history could remain intact while Earth 'whatever' could've been used to tell unique, crazy, or out-there types of stories.
But nobody from DC Comics asked me for some reason. LOL
