    And I'm talking about the relationship adult/kid that existed way before that.

    Wally was going to be regressed in one form or another anyway (just like any other New 52 DC character).

    Yes it does, 60's stories are completely dated now (aside from the crazy imagination that existed back then), the dialogue and interactions were quite heavyhanded.

    I want a dynamic where people can actually speak like people (at least for modern comic book standards).

    So what you're basically saying is that you want the same stories from the Silver Age to be retold despite nobody asking for them to be?

    Do you think if instead of having two Flashes running around in the pre-new 52 if they would of given Wally his own new identity when Barry returned like they did with Dick becoming Nightwing and Kyle becoming White Lantern, do you think Wally would still be around and DC would of seen him as less of a threat to Barry.

    That could have been a great solution.

    What does Wally mean for Bart Allen now?
    DC won't have two Kid Flash's.

    I thought Lobdell turned him into and evil serial killer from the future and then killed him in a Teen Titans Annual.

    Not really if you want to get a new audience.

    The Flash is not as well-known as Batman and the rest of his family, having two Flashs at the same time at the beginning of the New 52 would have been complicated.

    Flash is as well known as Green Lantern and what I was saying is it would of been a good idea in retrospect to give Wally his own new identity(That shows of his beautiful red hair like his Kid Flash costume) because for a lot of legacy characters, that's the only way they can survive. I think if they did that with Wally Pre-New 52 he would of probably ended up like Roy and Dick in the New 52 and not what we have now.
