DC HATES Wally West Flash

  • Wally West, the Flash, alongside Dick Grayson, Nightwing, has faced some hardships ever since his absence in the New 52 continuity of DC Comics after the Flashpoint storyline. Much of his history with The Flash family, Titans, and Justice League has either been retconned or rebooted in some way. Many characters like Batman and Superman had forgotten Wally's existence during DC Rebirth. It's a shame that many casual fans don't appreciate Wally West, as his most prominent appearances include Young Justice and Justice League Unlimited. It would be a cool addition for James Gunn to implement the Wally West version in the upcoming DCU, as it would resemble the DCAU lineup of the Justice League.

    Not to mention the disrespect outside of comics after Flashpoint. Killed in Young Justice, legs broken multiple times in Teen Titans Go, only in like the first five minutes of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract and then never seen again. He didn't appear in Titans even though he was one of the OGs. He barely even appears anywhere anymore outside of comics and when he does he is disrespected.

    DC has ruined too many legacy characters over the years: Wally, Tim, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Connor Hawke, and Roy Harper. And it all started with Dan Didio.
    Didio is and always will be a bloody idiot. He was just an overgrown child who just preferred the old characters and hated the legacy characters, so he decided to screw them over and give the middle finger to fans. Why on earth was he in charge of DC for so long? He should have been fired from day 1.
    Wally West has always been my favourite DC hero, and it makes me sick that dc keeps f#%^^^^^ him over. The only piece of DC media to treat Wally with any respect is JL animated series. I know that version was a mixture of Wally and Barry, but it was my introduction to the character and it made me a fan. Seriously, the level of disrespectful DC has for Wally and other legacy heroes is just shameful.

    I have to agree with the view on legacy characters now-a-days. Not all of them are bad but it's gotten out of hand to see so many characters pass down their superhero identity to someone else. It was okay when only a handful were doing it. I really like Batman Beyond, X-23, and Wally himself. But it's come to a point where it's now an excuse to continue the name of something forward to cash in on nostalgia value, while under the disguise that it's something new and different.
    Plus, it's just lazy writing to get something going fast as opposed to making new characters. There was a point in time when The Flash was a new concept, as was Superman and Batman. Dick Greyson is a representation of how to do a legacy character right, he took on a new superhero identity. An identity that he can be recognized for. And despite being a legacy character himself, Wally West earned his place as The Flash with the fans.

    Just... let the characters age. Then let them retire, let them rest. We don't need to have Bruce Wane/Batman stories 100 years from now, let new heroes take over.
    Look at the Greeks, they had stories with Hercules and Achilles, and then they were done. But those stories were so great that we're still telling them now. They didn't need to constantly come up with more stories for them to stay relevant. It's not like we haven't seen old Bruce Wayne stories before, just look at Dark Knight Returns and Batman Beyond. And those were great.

      @@Nite-Mite doesn't mean it's a good or smart idea, just because it makes sense in your head doesn't mean it will work in practice.
      These characters survive the test of time because they sell well and their stories are still likeable. DC has tried similar formats like this before and it failed, fans still like Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent in these roles so ending them for good and canceling their books won't help DC it would financially kill them because it would be harder to sell and new original character and make same amount that Batman & Superman books and novels bring in.
      Sometimes it can work like Wally as The Flash and Grayson as Batman and sometimes it can fail like Tim Fox and Jon Kent.
      These concepts were lightning in a bottle and had different factors as to why they worked and why some can't work again.
      Letting age out and retire sounds good on paper that is true but the risk of failure is too high so respectfully *no* this is a bad idea.

    The Flash that gave the audience a lot of the things they like about the Flash. Even the costume. And then Dan DiDio and others were like "Take him behind the shed." At least Geoff Johns, who was always on his "Silver Age is king" mindset eventually reached his "My god, what have I done" arc. He set up Wally as really important, and then Dan DiDio, and to a lesser extent, Scott Snyder and Tom King were like "Nah, Imma do my own thing". So we never got to see Johns' vision for what Wally was going to do. But hey. At least they gave him Dr. Manhattan's powers like it was a video game power up. Hooray. Man, I love comics.

    I absolutely love Wally, especially the YJ verson, however, the only thing that I don't like about his character, even though he's my fav, is how they handled him and then killed him off. Wally is an insanely strong character (which I find really sad that we didn't get to see more of, especially with him being thrown aside in s2) yet they decided to neft him a shit ton. They made him a lot slower than both Barry and Bart, they put him into retirement because his speed was killing him, and then they gave him a non-justified ending where they practically made him a punching bag. Wally definitely deserved to be in the rest of the seasons and not killed off like he didn't even matter from the beginning.

    I don’t necessarily agree with what Didio said. But I understand where he was coming from. But I would have respected it all more if he had really committed to it instead of all the half-measures used in the New 52. For example, he wanted Barbara Gordon back as Batgirl rather than as Oracle. But instead of resetting the Batgirl stuff entirely, he erases Oracle but keeps “Killing Joke” (a story even Alan Moore regrets writing). If you’re going to reset, reset everything, anticipate losing old readers and double down on gaining new ones. It would have been riskier but I would have respected it more.

    To add an Italian (Wally West) who has light-brown hair, and he has natural purple colored eyes.
