Wally & Barry proceed to run through time to track down the bullet that killed Orion; they eventually come out several weeks after they left, and Darkseid has taken Earth thanks to the Anti-Life equation.
You don't need money, don't take fame,
Don't need no credit card to ride this train,
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes,
But it might just save your life,
That's the power of love.
...Sorry, force of habit. (Note: Not sorry)
Unfortunately, Bart returned in the Legion of Three Worlds tie-in alongside Superboy, so we didn't get to see all four Flashes together until Flash: Rebirth.

I don't hate Morrison's work but he's very low on my list of writers. Never a guy I go searching out

Date: 2013-12-17 01:12 pm (UTC)Like, it's the first big comic story arc I've ever read, and I read it in trade format, so instead of all the pacing issues people tend to talk about I got a very beautiful novel about the heroes of the DCU. And I personally like mythological themes and logic, you know? And it is, at the end of the day, this very positive, very non-GRIMDARK story about how the DCU stares down the face of Ultimate Evil and vanquishes it.
Then I read bluefall's excellent series of posts on Wonder Woman elsewhere on this site and, looking back, I do have to agree with its assessment - that Wonder Woman, one of my favourite characters ever, is given a rotten deal here. Superman gets to sing and Batman gets to shoot - where's Diana's moment of awesome?
It's been a long time since I last read Final Crisis, and memories blur into each other. Looking back, I guess I'd love it still, except for the bits about Wonder Woman.

Date: 2013-12-17 12:45 pm (UTC)Since Barry was the first true Legacy Hero and since the one thing that really sets the Flashes apart is how often they work together, these scenes actually reminded me of how much this works...and how much I miss Wally.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Flash-Return-Barry-Allen/dp/1563892685
In my opinion, he should've stayed dead. Wally proved himself worthy of the mantle long before. DC only shoehorned him back because they have a hard on for the Silver Age.
On the bright side, we don't get to see what kind of bastardization would've happened to Wally in NuDC. I'm glad he went into a quiet retirement. He honestly has the closest thing to a solid beginning, middle, and end in terms of a character arc. He started as a teen sidekick, took over the mantle and overcame his mentor's shadow, got married, had kids, then quietly went away when his mentor returned.
If anything, Wally's arc is the closest we'll ever get to a satisfying ending for a character without killing them off.

Date: 2013-12-18 01:31 am (UTC)His entire character development's probably even fuller than Dick Grayson's: he's the ultimate sidekick who made good.
