** Everything in this story exists to definitely present Wally as a worthy successor to the Flash name. After overcoming [[RealitySubtext his own misgivings about replacing his uncle]], Wally defeats Professor Zoom, one of the deadliest villains in the Flash's rogues gallery while preventing him from tarnishing Barry's memory further. Hal Jordan proceeds to compliment him as the greatest hero he's ever known. All this development and care that was taken to make fans accept that Wally was now the Flash and that it was the best course of action for the franchise ended up being thrown to the wayside when they ''did'' bring Barry back, long after most fans had accepted the lessons presented here. How could they go back to Barry when Mark Waid had explained Wally was his superior in every aspect, and proven it? This version of Wally would return after decades of lost time and being replaced by a character also called Wallace West, and it's difficult not to see the parallels, even if, unlike Thawne, Wallace didn't do it on purpose (although luckily, Wally has finally [[ComicBook/TheFlashInfiniteFrontier returned to being]] [[ComicBook/TheFlashDawnOfDC the main Flash]].)

I can't believe I forgot that Thawne is from the future. I feel like an idiot
