[[WMG: In the case that Wally is Black he'll go through a “Nick Fury" like situation]]
* Nick was famously changed from a White man to a Black man. While this initially caused an uproar people eventually accepted the change when they realized he was still a cool character. It eventually got to the point that many people actually forgot he was White to begin with. If Wally's personality stays intact and he manages to do badass things on his own people will eventually accept the change just like they did with Nick Fury.

[[WMG: Wally isn't [[ItMakesSenseInContext “too white"]] ]]
* Wally [[WordOfGod appears on Flash Annual #3]] and many people think he's the kid spray painting on the wall rather than “The Blue Flash". Those who have heard of and/or support the rumor that he will be black have made it their thing to point out that "Wally's" hands are very white in color. So white that they could be gloves. While it is possible that it is a Black Wally who happens to be wearing gloves it could just as easily be a White Wally wearing gloves.
** If Wally is still Caucasian he could very easily just be pale skinned. That shade of white isn't impossible after all.

[[WMG: New 52 Wally will be Black]]
* It has been confirmed that Wally will appear in New 52 in April 2014. Many, many people all over the internet believe he'll be changing ethnicity for whatever reason. This is an internet wide WMG but it wasn't here yet so I thought I'd share.

[[WMG: Wally being Black is simply just an intetnet rumor that the writer's decided to stay ambiguous on.]]
* The rumor came about when the writers said that “Wally will be different than we know him". It was simply a fan jumping to conclusion and said rumor became wide spread. The writers probably realized that this would cause controversy so they decided to not confirm or deny the rumor. They did this because they thought the controversy would [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity make the book Wally is suppose to appear in sell better.]]

You guys should really give up on things magically coming back from the previous continuity, being aware of it, let alone trying to restore it. DC is clearly acting like a previous continuity never existed, so that's how it is.

[[WMG: The new Reverse-Flash is Daniel West, Iris's brother.]]
He was one of Barry's first arrests as the Flash (and he contained Daniel ''again'' as Barry shortly after), Reverse-Flash only started to appear after Daniel was released and arrived at Central City, and he attacked everyone who entered the Speed Force -- except Iris.

[[WMG: The Black Flash was working for [[BlackestNight Nekron.]] ]]
Those on top of Nekron's hit list are those that escape death. The whole point of the Black Flash is that it prevents speedsters from escaping death by outrunning it-the Black Flash is a servant of Nekron created to hunt them down. He let the Black Flash exit during FinalCrisis to deal with Darkseid, and the Black Flash died afterwards because [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Nekron had set things up to solve the problem of life]] [[OmnicidalManiac once and for all.]]

* The reason why GreenLantern is the least altered of the bunch is because Barry and Hal are the best of friends, and due to [[BlackestNight recent]] [[BrightestDay events]] he probably knows the most about the Green Lantern mythos than any other hero.

Added DiffLines:

* This might go to explain the Reverse Flash's apperance, which looks borderline HumanoidAbomination: Wally [[RetGone was never born]], and is being sustained in this timeline solely through the negative Speed Force. As for how he survived-when Thawne!Reverse Flash became [[ParadoxPerson unstuck in time]], he found Wally and used his new abilties to ensure he wouldn't be erased, so that [[ThanatosGambit even if he's dead and Barry tries to undo what happened, he can hurt Barry by reminding him of his mistakes.]]

It's fueled by the power of Barry's life energy, though it lacks even a rudimentary-humanoid form. So Stand-like, but not exactly a Stand.

* In his debut at the end of Flash #17, the new Reverse-Flash certainly seems to imply that he knows Barry. A point towards this theory?

Added DiffLines:

* That sounds highly plausible, and it could easily work. He'd be a "villain," but he could still go out of his way to save people.

Theoretically, there no reason he can't; he can violate every other law of motion, inertia, and gravity at will. Johnny and Jesse Quick, who also tap the Speed Force, can fly. DC's version of Mercury/Hermes, [[AnthropomorphicPersonification God of Speed]], can also fly, and those who gain "the speed of Mercury" such as WonderWoman and CaptainMarvel also gain flight. The ComicBook/KingdomCome Future!Flash can fly.
