That's correct. The story above is set in the pre-crisis period, and even then Barry didn't "know" how to do it; but "he's done", so it''s not "entirely Wally's thing", just "99% Wally's thing". XD
Correct, it was there. That issue is Morrison's.I guess it's not entirely Wally's thing. WAS Morrison the one who came up with it? I alwaays thought it was Waid, based off that one issue where Wally has a broken leg and makes a glowing costume for himself.
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.

Back around 2010 (before everything totally went to shat) Geoff Johns had said that knitting costumes from pure speed force energy was going to be Wally's thing. He -Barry- was going to try to do it but would not succeed. I even wrote a humor piece on this back then based on what Johns said.
This idea appealed to me not so much as 'Barry is not Godlike' as it would have made all the speedsters different in some way other than looks and names. Different strengths and weaknesses. I'm still hoping they go that route.
Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

I bet if someone did a poll over who was worse: Mopee or Bar Torr...guess who would lose.

Well, Flash Rebirth was sold out at the store and I forgot to preorder it. Same with Detective Comics. Im glad these series featuring characters I like are selling so well, but did it have to be a my local store?
So to get my Wally West fix for the week, I bought the first 20 or so issues of Mark Waids Flash run on Comixology, including the Born to Run and Return of Barry Allen arcs. I've read Terminal Velocity already, so by the end of this week, I'll have all the best Waid storylines covered!
Picked up the Teen Titans 100 page special for something to read, and noticed that Wally was a brunette in this. Was he originally a brunette? If so, when did they make him a redhead?
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.

I'm really curious on how DC will proceed with Bart. I think, by this point, he's definitely more "toxic" than Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown were, plus we have a Kid Flash with NuWally. The only route I can really see is if they introduce a new Bart with the Impulse name, but even then it's got baggage since all the Teen Titan will bring up how they new a Bart Allen, so you'd have to actually address it.
I guess making Bar Torr the evil Impulse could work, but even then it'll just sound weird since their names are so similar.

Just read The Flash Rebirth #1, anyone else like the fact that Wally may have more knowledge about the Speed Force better than Barry does right now?
I have no beef with Vegans
You not a fan of Mopee? I always thought if Morrison ever had a proper run on the Flash, Mopee would be the character that Morrison used just like Batmite and Mister Mxyzptlk; in his Batman and Superman runs respectively lol
Return of Barry Allen is still one of my favorite Flash stories of all time. Last time I saw him at a con 2 years ago I think, Waid actually asked me if it still holds up lol. And it does
Yes I do!
Now reading: The Flash (vol. 2) 35-62
Wally knows how to manipulate the sf better than Barry, but Barry should know more about it since he was trapped init for years. Although now Wally has been as well?
Maybe it will be like how a physicist knows the theories about living in space while an engineer knows how to use those to create ways to use the theories?
Eh...I just want Barry and Wally to complement each other the way Max and Jay did. I want the commaraderie I thought we were going to get in 2009 on.
Bart needs to be brought back. Maybe either Barry or Wally can find the real one. Or both together! :-)
