I don't think its fair to judge the costume just based on how Bret Booth of all people draws it :P
Once we see it in other books with different (better) artists I think we can gauge it better. As for Wally's name? I'd like Thunderbolt or Mercury.
I suggest Flash Lightning.
He has his own name but will usually just be called 'Flash'.
His Zoom should be called Speed Demon; you can imagine the costume (with silver horns instead of wings). This would also reference Jimmy Olsen becoming the Speed Demon months before the heroic debut of Barry Allen.
At this point, I'd not feel bad if they changed his name, but Brett Booth said on twitter that as far as he knows, Wally is gonna go by "Flash".
ConnEr Kent flies. ConnOr Hawke has a bow. Batman's kid is named DamiAn.
To do spoiler tags, use [ spoil ] at the start of the sentence and [ /spoil ] at the end, without the spaces. You're welcome!
I'm fine with Jay and Barry being the only two named Flash.
Too many heroes with the same name, excluding the Green Lanterns, is ridiculous IMHO.
If DC had only made all the original Teen Titans teenagers again in the New 52, avoiding being too close in
age to their mentors, I'd be overjoyed for Wally to be Kid Flash again.
I like Speed Force, Bolt and Velocity...especially after seeing that costume.
"History of the DC Universe" by Wolfman and Perez, when the DCU use to make sense.
Fine ... I will play this game
Flash drive
Quarter Flash
Beta Flash
Marathon Man
Marathon
Rundown
I have no beef with Vegans
Flashback
Impulse
Velocity
Crimson flash
velocity red
red streak
crimson comet
speed streak
speedy=lol i'm just saying.
Flash has a nice ring to it.
It better be The Flash or they'll get the next 4 years of more Wally-related bitching.
Bolt is a dog.
Velocity sounds cool and I don't care what other publisher is using that name for a speed-powered character. Also Velocity > Acceleration, because physics/calculus.

Wait till the debate as to who legitimately gets to call themselves "The Fastest Man Alive" kicks in.
Barry was labeled that first, but they didn't make it a tag line till Wally.
This war and schism between the two fan bases will only continue to grow.
The real bitching hasn't even begun, now that they are both in universe, every panel and drawing where they are shown running together will be measured and analyzed down to the pixel, to determine who they are implying is faster.
And if they ever imply one over the other, the fleet of whambulances will be heard launched across the internet.
