The Titans throw Wally a birthday party, but he is called away on a mission of mercy.

With his last breath, the man gives Wally the name of Vandal Savage.

The next morning, Wally checks his lottery numbers.

A pretty amazing start to Wally's tenure as the Flash. A pity Baron turned out to be a burning pile of human garbage. The Flash carrying a heart cross-country worked really well when adapted in Young Justice, iirc.

Good work here to establish Wally much different than Barry in attitude and not as fast at this time.

I forget when they had it established the general public knew Wally's identity. They played on it on how he wanted the world to know Barry Allen saved them but also how it just leaked out.

"This is it, kid. The big time. Welcome to the real world. You are no longer a teenager.

Also, that means you're off the team."

"What?!"

"What's not to get? It's right there in the name. Now, I mean, if you were a lot bigger, we could probably look the other way on a technicality. But you're not. So, good luck out there!"
