    brad interview :https://www.cbr.com/interview-brad-m...entity-crisis/

    This is from another topic that was discussing the issue, i'm still searching for the complet article:

    "Because I have been told DC Comics folk have discussed that Bleeding Cool may have revealed something about the planned superhero gone insane, killing all other heroes, in Heroes In Crisis. And that writer Tom King was discussing changing the ending as a result.

    We thought it would be the opener of the series, turns out it may have been the final reveal.

    Maybe Dan Jurgens or Dennis O’Neill could persuade him of the folly of going down that road again?"

    Fair enough. I wasn't sweating it. As I said, you came off as pretty polite, so I could see you were well-meaning.

    But I also think that steps on the right direction have to be appreciated. Doing the right thing may be easier or harder depending on how much wrong there is around you.

    And even if I agree that there should be no sliding scale of morality, there should be a sliding scale of tolerance for mistakes and world views. And I say that because I'm pretty sure most of us will look like cave-people for the people of thirty years from now. Yet we're all (well, we on this thread at least) trying the best we can.
    But I'm not being intolerant of Wally's mistake. I'm not saying that he is a bad person because of it or saying he needs to be summarily punished. But for us to continue to take steps in the right direction, we need to acknowledge when something that came before wasn't the way to go. Otherwise, we'll be stuck in the same place.

    Wally screwed up, but it acknowledging that is not the same as saying he isn't trying or that this issue wasn't a landmark moment in comics. I've never said that. Just that Wally's behavior isn't the best way to react to your friend coming out. Cause it isn't. That really shouldn't be a point of contention.

In a point where overt homophobia, and LGBTPhobia in general, was the norm, maybe more good was achieved from showing a character (in this case, Wally), actually looking inward, confronting this and coming trough the other side a better person, or at least in the right direction.

    What I think people are objecting to your point, is that it may sound as "it was wrong, and that's it", while some times there's no possible "right". In the end, if Wally was just accepting and ok with it from the get go, that story might have carried way less weight (while today. the reverse is true).

    And I agree with you larger point about acknowledging past mistakes to move forward.
    Again, I never said that the issue should be something else than what it was. I'm not suggesting that it should have been written differently than it was. I've said this a bunch of times and yet some people don't seem to be picking up on that.

    All I've been saying is that Wally's behavior at the start of this issue is problematic. That doesn't mean Messner-Loeb should be expected to go back and rewrite the issue. That doesn't mean I don't buy that this was a realistic portrayal of Wally. It just means that you shouldn't run away from people coming out to you. That really should go without saying. It's not about the issue, it's about the behavior that occurs in the issue. A person can acknowledge that action is problematic without it being an indictment of the character or the issue.

    I read the Spoiler, but I think I missed a huge part of the Series...

    I didnt read the Series, but I was very curious who the Killer is...

    Is this now the revelation of the Killer who has killed all others including Roy or is the true Killer still unrevealed?

    We aren't 100% sure who the killer is yet. Originally it was "teased" as Harley and/or Booster, but as the comic has gone on it was obvious it was never one of them. The current hot pick is Wally considering he is the only other character with consistent screentime at Sanctuary and there's been allusions to things being weird with him so far (the end of last issue implying time travel shenanigans, even though that does not make sense).

    Ok, thank you...

    I knew that there is this probability that Wally is the Killer, BUT I am still scared of such a revelation and I still hope that he ISNT the killer...


    It would be another disappointment in Rebirth for me: 1. Roy Harpers transformation from the cool guy in Pre-Flashpoint with Lian to this character, then Nightwing, now Kon El who isnt sure in which direction he gets and probably now also Wally.....

    All my favorite characters transformed into a worse version of the loved Pre-Flashpoint Version..

    Wally is not the killer. You don't promote the series as being built around Booster, Harley and Wally as the main characters and have Wally be the killer. It's way too obvious.

    Thanks for this!

    Hmmm, interesting. That would be dissapointing but I still don't buy it. It's all just much, much too obvious.

    Yeah, I think he triggered something that caused the deaths (probably the sanctuary AI went rogue), but I don't think he actually killed anybody.
