By the way, are people seriously worried about Donna being changed?
She was a mess! She's the one who needed a reboot the most.
Batman New 52 is a lot like Post Crisis Batman
Ultimate Peter Parker is a lot like 616 Peter Parker
I want Similar but different, Not! Completely new character with a beloved character names slapped on.

2.Ginger X
3.Founding member of the Teen Titans X

Okay, I'm talking personality-wise.
Wally has always been a smart-ass (at least from his first ongoing onwards, later he starting maturing but he still kept his sarcastic side).
"Street-thug"? What? He's just doing some graffiti.
We don't know if he's from "lesser-intelligence", in fact Iris mentioned that he's pretty smart, is just that he doesn't have a good role model.
He's alive currently.
I would have been fine with a few changes to Wally, but he's a drastically different character for unnecessary reasons. Batgirl at least has some critical stories (The Killing Joke), she's still intelligent, and she's still the same age as her primary friends from the old universe (Dinah, Dick, and it looks like Helena's going to be pretty unchanged outside of being a spy).
I'm fine with the race change because I'd like to see more diversity, but really this Wally might as well be a different character. At least IMO
There's a sizable difference between being a smart ass and being sarcastic.
They say this is the umpteenth time he's been arrested so street thug. Just because a parental figure says something about you it doesn't mean its true. Who sprays a flash sucks sign in broad daylight next to the police station in Central City, an idiot does that.
And he'll be dead in 5
