No.
The original Kid Flash was Wally West, who later, after Barry Allen died,assumed the Flash moniker and costume.
The second Kid Flash was Bart Allen, who first went by the name of Impulse. The abomination you see today, Bar-Tor, was supposed to be a reboot of him. But I guess (and hope. and pray) that he'll be forgotten for all eternity.
The same thing that's bad about all of Lobdell's teen heroes. They're X-men/GenX ripoffs with an outdated storytelling method.
I'm guessing that Barry's current story will end up changing history. If he saves Zoom from Grodd, then the timeline should allow Bart Allen to exist as he was and wipe out "Bar Torr"
Bar is from the future. He witnessed his parents get killed, and he and his sister survived. He did anything to help protect her and survive. So one day (I think a priest) tried raping his little sister and Bar killed him. So that's pretty much how the killing started.
SPOILERS:
He then went on to order the assassination/led a rebellion against the ruling government by tricking them into making his court case in the future a media circus. This brought all of the dignitaries from around the galaxy to the court...which Bar Tor made his troops attack to kill all government officials. The Teen Titans said, 'Hey, that's not cool with all the murder there Bar Tor!' So he kindly responded with 'Then we will have to kill you too." (Paraphrased)
He was less than sympathetic even with the rough childhood.

oh I just thought of a new one. his name is bar torr. my question is... is the name Bar Torr one word or two ? what I mean is is his first name Bar last name Torr or is it one word ?
I'm calling it. New 52 Wally West becomes the next Kid Flash.
Bar Torr that's how
I'm sure we won't see Bar Torr anymore, but I wouldn't mind something interesting happening to him.
Like he becomes some kind of interdimesional character.
