The “Nora Allen Retcon” would be much cooler if it was treated as more of an in-universe change by Thawne rather than acting like that had always been Barry’s origin What if he WAS that Pre-Crisis Comic nerd, and THEN Thawne goes back and kills Nora. The CW did it pretty well

DCAU Flash had no real fleshed-out presence or individuality outside of his “accurate personality” as the comic relief He only aesthetically matches his comic counterpart, he’s basically a cardboard cutout There’s even a whole VIDEO about how NOT thought out JLU Flash’s lore is

Strange thing to say because *obviously* you could write Wally or Barry in that scenario… …but they are so intertwined with their powers that i really think it is important you SHOW rather than…. be vague about it they ARE the “dream hero power fantasies” personified.

It’s Barry Allen’s 70th anniversary this month! 70 years since showcase #4, 70 YEARS of being existing, being The Flash! I really do wonder if DC has anything planned for him, no matter how small! I sure hope against hope.

Kind of insane how massive of an impact this had on The Flash’s comic designs for years to come despite the show not doing the greatest when it was airing Wally West’s 90’s suit is a direct result of this show airing around the same time

If the New 52 Flash run succeeds at anything, it’s sucking you into the comic immediately which is why It’s recommend so much to beginners You flip to this double-page spread by Francis Manapul and its visual effectiveness hits you like a truck “oh yeah, I’m reading THE FLASH”
