We gather today to say good-bye to
Bartholomew
Henry
Allen.
Today is the day he disappears from the CW universe.
 |
| Trapped forever in the otherworldly dimension called "Broadway". |
Fortunately, in the DCU Proper Barry hasn't disappeared!
Oh, wait....
 |
| He kind of has. Into DCU's upstate farm of "the multiverse". |
He's not DEAD (any more). But recently the forces for Wally-nostalgia have won out, and, in the DCU's most recent multiversal soft reboot, "The Flash" title (both the name and the series) have (once again) gone to Wally West. And his wife and his kids and some girl in China and Max Mercury and (*snort*) "Inspector Pilgrim" and Impulse and (<eyeroll>) Ickto, and the Linear Men and a whole lot of other nonsense being spewed by some writer (Si Spurrier) who CLEARLY read (and worshipped) too much Grant Morrison in their youth.
 |
| "What?" indeed. |
 |
| Thanks for whatever that is, Lovecraft-lover who wants to write The Doom Patrol. |
 |
| Hermes save me from writers with a Kirby-pun fetish. "This trade" is one no sane person will be buying in the future (which you have erased). |
But even in literary world lousy with speedsters,
 |
| Somebody needs to outlaw new speedsters. I mean, someone in OUR world, not Amanda Waller, who for the first time in my life, I agree with. |
two things remain constant.
 |
| Wally's always in over his head, and... |
 |
| Barry's going to have to save him AND the day. |
