They did a wonderful job building the character of Wally West. We has Mark Waid prove his mettle on the character, and then Geoff Johns made his reputation on Wally. We've had years of passionate storylines that fleshed out the character of Wally West and his world. To abandon Wally West now seems ridiculous at best and incompetent at worst. As my Dad would say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Whatever DC’s plans might be for the Flash, I’m not at all excited or intrigued. They did a wonderful job building the character of Wally West.

The dialouge was hackneyed, and the characters all seemed flat to me. I really get the sense this was DC's "Plan C" for the title. Otherwise, I agree that a bratty young Flash is the least interesting possibility. I'm not sure if that's what they intend Bart to be, though.

They all transform into lightning and disappear. When Bart reappears in Barry's costume, he says something about being the only one who could make the journey back, I think. Later, at the big Metropolis gathering in <em>52</em> #1, Bart mentions to Jay and a few others that Wally is fine, just taking some time off to be with Linda and the kids. At least, I got the impression from Bart's dialogue that Wally was OK. A lot can change in a year, I know. Here’s what I remember, since the books aren’t in front of me:

We saw Wally go home (either in IC or some book) to Linda and the kids and they all went "somewhere" together as lightning. I don't think we know where they went, but since the future is the new Florida, I won't be surprised...

Just not a very good one. Oh, and I'm not so sure LSH #15 should be taken as gospel. They were stories of the past, but as told by kids. That said, there's always wiggle room for Barry to return, and deliberately so. But as I understood it, Wally is reportedly "somewhere else," that is, he didn't go into the speed force with Bart and the others. So he may or may not be able to return...
