\n[[WMG: The various changes to the Status Quo are because Barry didn't know every detail or think to add them in.]]
Barry actually had to recreate the DCU from scratch when he reset everything during Flashpoint, but as he's not perfect or godlike, he didn't remember every detail perfectly, or because he chose to change them under the belief he was making things better. These include:

Superheroes now wear armoured looking suits, because Barry wanted to ensure they would all be safer.

Barbara Gordon can walk again because Barry hasn't met either of the successive Batgirls, and as such didn't add them in.

The age of heroes is only five years because, thanks to being gone for so long, Barry only knew about fie years worth of info about the world. He tried to put in what he knew and what he was told, but thanks to his gap time, he could only fit in so much.

Iris is gone because Barry was thinking that, without him, she would have a safer life away from super heroes. He didn't realize that this would also remove the reason for him knowing Wally, resulting in Wally never becoming Kid Flash. His time as Flash is gone as well because Barry wasn't present for that.

A number of characters, specifically female ones such as Sarfire, Harley, and Amanda Weller, who were sporting more sexualized designs is because Barry is a CovertPervert.

...But the ones were are less sexualized are because he's not an outright pervert and wanted to give them more respect.

...nd he changes to Blue Beetle are because, as great a guy as Barry is, he's uninentionally a litle racist against Hispanics.

And Lastly, he included Cyborg in the JL's founders because he wanted to make sure the guy was on the team since he likes him.

[[WMG: Continuing from above, this will be the setup for Batman, Titans, Flash, and others to team up for a miniseries to bring back some of the missing characters and fix the more controversial changes]]

It will start with Tim Drake, Red Robin, realizing that he feels like there's some people missing; he vaguely remembers Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown, Batgirls 2 and 3/Black Bat and Spoiler, but can't name or picture them. Until, when talking to some other heroes, he remembers them more clearly, and begins trying to investigate this. He discovers some other details he vaguely remembers, coming to him in dreams, and ends up tracing them back to events that had Barry Allen involved. He confronts him wih this, and together hey find out what Barry did and, teaming up with Bruce Wayne/Batman, Dick Grayson/Nightwing, and Kid Flash/Bart Allen, they try to find out where the mising heroes are.

Meanwhile, on another world created by this event, Cass, Steph, and Wally are kept prisoner by some evil force, along with the other missing heroes. Together, the three manage to free the others and try to find a way home. Only problem is, they all have no memory of their previous lives. Eventually, both Barry and Wally are able to remember each other when they boh connect with the Speedforce, and comunicate. Wally is at first shocked to discover his uncle forgot about his existence, but quickly forgives him when Barry realizes his mistake and feels deeply guilty. Together, they go on to fix some of the damages together, resulting in reuniting Steph, Cass, and the Bat Fam, as well as returning Wally and every other hero to the universe.

** I'm new to the Flash, but in Rebirth it implies the Savitars got their speed by sacrificing people? If they had any connection to the Speed Force other than Savitar being imprisoned within it it forcible then this could be evidence for this WMG.

* Turns out it was the original Professor Zoom retconning Barry's past.
** Sort of. He was kind of pulling a [[HomeStuck Vriska]]. Barry had to become the Flash for Professor Zoom to exist. All that bad stuff is what lead to Barry being in that position to become the Flash. So it is a stable time loop. Professor Zoom decided if it had to happen it might as well be himself that did it, and thus created the person that creates him, who will create Barry, etc.

*Why does it matter? Parallax is the personification of fear, the cause of it, and presumably is fear. That probably qualifies it for being everywhere, to some extent, where there is fear. If you can be in so many places at once, why would superspeed matter?

At one point in BrightestDay, Parallax was able to combine Barry Allen's speedster powers with his own RealityWarper fear-mongering abilities through possession. Once a speedster touches the Speed Force, (at least presumably) they can tap into it again. Thus, [[EldritchAbomination Parallax]], via his short stint with the Flash, [[OhCrap has acquired superspeed]].

* I seem to recall reading somewhere that Superman's speed is simply part of his genetic makeup from the powers he derives from yellow solar energy, and thus is not connected to the Speed Force in any way. Plus, Jay Garrick is a speedster, but didn't lose his speed when the Speed Force temporarily disappeared due to his powers coming from his meta-gene.
