Johns tends to plan his stories over the long term, doesn't he? It's possible it may be fixed further down the track.
Just saying.
Just saying.
I'm trying to think as objectively as possible here, something a lot of people seem to have trouble doing.

So now that we know Barry's 'My parents are dead!' motivation is fake/new, what exactly is his motivation then?
Johns is in love with him. That's all the motivation he needs.
Speaking of which, did anyone else see the photos of all of DC's creators who'll be attending some convention at some point in the future? I forget which issue, it was recently. I was terrified to learn that Geoff Johns is kind of hot. Made me feel so dirty.

I don't know about you, but if I suddenly developed superpowers, I'd probably do my best to help people. I may not have an Uncle Ben, but the whole great power = great responsibility bit still makes sense to me.
Me too, but this is Johns. Gotta be a motivation for *everything*
It would make all of this totally worthwhile if "we can't go back in time and change history" doesn't apply here, because that's what Thawne has already done. So if Barry is allowed to fix it at some point, I'd say well done.
Heh, seems like Barry was jealous of Hal, so he started his own Flash Corps. Needs more Jai.
That's Iris, Wally's daughter, Jai's sister. She had a cool costume of her own, but those crazy speedsters really like hand-me-downs or something. And only Harley can rock with pigtails.

I'm already missing happy family Wally, Jai and Iris.
Off-topic question related to this issue. The info on Captain Boomerang in the issue was blacked out. Does anyone know if this was a case where Secret File and Origins was supposed to ship prior to Digger's return in Blackest Night 8 and they didn't want to spoil the surprise, or is there supposed to be something more to this Boomer than meets the eye, something like a merging of Digger and Owen? He was identified as Digger, but he's much younger than Digger and the costume is more like Owen's.
Hard to tell in truth. I think originally the issue (Flash) was supposed to ship the week of Blackest Night.
She seems to switch it up depending on who she's hanging out with that day. The JSA gets Liberty Belle while the speedsters get Jesse Quick.
They forgot Wally's lightning belt. Shame, because Wally's looks way better than Barry's.
God, motto.
I think I was one of the few people here who passionately argued for Barry coming back to life, mainly on the basis that he's the purest antithesis to the ANGST ANGST BURNING PAIN ANGST superhero. The fact that he was a Hope!Lantern indicates that Johns does get what Barry's about on some level!
I'm just hoping that, yeah, Johns has a long-term plan in place here, but I doubt it. Unless it's Superman, Johns seems to think that every single character needs tragedy!angst (and thus reveals himself to be rather sympathetic in mindset to Zoom that way, it occurs to me).
