I always loved the rouges ... I hated Barry but I remember as a kid whenever Wally was in the speed force and saw hints of Barry it was amazing .wheres Wally west in the new 52
I always felt Barry was inferior. There has always been a.... generational disconnect with the character. I mean....
Wally was the Flash we literally grew up with, watched him mature, watched him learn to use his powers in new and unconventional ways.
Barry's always had that boringly written goody goody Captain America vibe to him. "Just write him as wholesome as possible. Give him personality quirks instead of a personality (like always being late). Soooo coool."
Hell, Jay Garrick>>>>Barry Allen as a character. Dude got zero personality.
