Nah... at best, it's a generational thing. Kid Flash was never as high profile as Robin, be it in comics or other media. If you say that older readers, or the people in charge at DC see this way, sure. That's been my point for years. The people who actually give a damn about him, though, I'd bet that that is not what they (or us) want to see.
But bringing versions of pre-52 continuity and have Wally as Kid Flash is just... Well, is just like everything else in the last 6 years. I can't say i'm surprised.
