Jason. Heâs the tribal armband tattoo on the DC universe. He smells like Mountain Dew Code Red. His superhero name should be Vape. Heâs a human Ed Hardy shirt.

Is Superman boring because he is so âperfectâ?
Barry is the person Supes sees that allows him to continue being Supes. Barry is âthe best part of ourselvesâ, he provides âhopeâ in the way Supes wants to but knows he never quite can because of his virtually âabsolute powerâ. He knows people can certainly look at him with that shred of âabsolute power eventually corruptsâ uncertainty. When they do, he (and everybody else in the DCU) can point to Barry and say âlook at that man, even with his abilities, he is a good man.â
Why is it in JL Doom, The contingency Batman has in place for Flash is the one, and only one, that requires the hero to sacrifice himself. WhyâŚbecause Barry will do that, every time. That is his character flaw and his biggest, most exploitable weakness. He cares about everybody else rather than himself.

All of the above. And every other character that has died. If death doesnât stick, it removes all consequences and sense of danger. Barry has proven that the death of the main character does not lead to the death of the series, and if anything, DC is the âlegacyâ publisher. There are plenty of other heroes and supporting characters waiting for their time to shine, and sadly, the death of a title character is one of the best ways to get someone else into the spot light. Besides, if all of these characters keep dying and coming back, why should we even care when we know weâll just see them again in a few years?

I think that it should have been Barry. I prefer Wally and you also talked about how Barry has saved Wally, but he also got rid of Wallyâs family. I know that they changed flashpoint by blaming Dr. Manhattan, but Barry is still somewhat responsible for causing more damage to the universe than any other hero. Barry still hasnât suffered any consequences for what he did. Heâs running around the world with Iris but he completely destroyed Wallyâs life.

Like, what if the end of Hamlet had Polonius and Ophelia appear out of nowhere? That would take away all of the plot those deaths went towards and ruin the story. Just like most resurrections do now.

Barry, not necessarily because I find him boring, but because DCâs made it clear that they want to have either Barry or Wally, and if it comes down to it, I prefer Wally.

Of these I would go with Barry. Wally West becoming Flash is the one time a passing of the torch stuck and was successful. Given the Flash TV series success I guess from a business standpoint it worked out pretty well bringing him back. But from a narrative one I was never on board.

You guys are all acting as if Wally isnt flash anymore. He is still the flash. Just a different one. You guys never had a problem with having a bunch of speedsters around, and now you are? I dont get you guys.

@kingofspeedsters Maybe tell the writers that, and not the fans. Weâre very aware of multiple Flashes, we just want Wally to be treated better. DC has made it pretty clear they prefer making stories for Barry compared to Wally. They even completely got rid of the original Wally for the N52.

Iâd probably go with Hal Jordan, because while Iâve grown to like him more over the past few years, of all the people on the list, heâs still kind of at the bottom.

Wally is actually pretty big in the rebirth issues. He also has a sick costume. And almost everything revolves around him.
