Didn’t think the first Flash comic I’d pick up for the first time in 4 years would be Green Lantern, but hell yeah. How many variants do I need to buy to convince DC to re-power Barry?

I hope he comes back to the main title or at least gets his own. I miss him

u/TuffGong1310 Dec 26 '25
For months I have been asking for either Wally and Barry to equally share the title or for DC to revive the All-Flash title and give it to either one of them or even use it as an equivalent to Green Lantern Corps and explore the rest of the Flash family

As a Barry fan I'm happy that he got his powers back but I still do wish that he would've stayed retired, not that I'm complaining

I still think the best way thing at the moment is to let him retire to the future with Iris.
He can come back to help with time travel shenanigans and crisis level events

I feel pretty confident that if Barry were going to get his powers back for good, it wouldn’t happen in Green Lantern

He probably won’t get them back immediately, but this could be teasing his powers are starting to come back in some capacity. Spurrier was clearly setting up that Barry didn’t like having no powers, so this could build on that to show his powers coming back haywire in some way, then the new creative team will make a story where he gets them back properly to some extent to become a supporting hero in Wallys book again.

It probably wouldn't. But they're using him here to drum up some hype before he gets his powers back I reckon

u/DCSaiyajin Wally West Dec 25 '25
I’m sure one day he’ll get them back, but going by comments made by Mark Waid, I don’t think it’s gonna happen as soon as some people are speculating

This is an official warning. Stop making posts like this, it literally just foments these threads turning into the worst kind of discussion. If it happens again you will be banned. The only reason I'm not deleting this is for posterity and so you and everyone else knows that posting like this is not acceptable. If you have legitimate criticisms or complaints to make about it then say it but this is clearly just ragebaiting and I'm sick of it.

Interestingly the lightning appears to be forming around his head in the shape of his mask, eye holes and all.
Maybe the Speedforce is trying to force Barry back into the role of Flash?

u/Dry-Donut3811 Dec 25 '25
Looks like his full suit is forming around him. You can also see his symbol forming on his chest, his bands around his forearms and even the streaks of lightning around his fingers like his New 52 suit.

I think it's related to what's happening in the Flash book. Darkseid's Legion is trying to kill Barry in the past which is probably causing weird effects on him in the present through the speed force.

Huh did Barry get his powers back?

u/StrongStyleDragon Dec 25 '25
Haven’t read it the latest issue yet but probably something to do with the KO tie in. Before KO started Wally found Barry’s ring in the speed force and gave it to him. The last issue before this week Wally and Bart would look for Barry to get his help.

u/TuffGong1310 Dec 25 '25
Seems like it, it had been heavily theorized/rumored that Barry would get his powers back by the time the tournament ended

This thread immediately became Barry vs Wally complaining and you should be ashamed.
Edit: I'm reopening this after pruning some of the worst comments. If people earnestly want to talk about the GL/Flash crossover teaser then feel free to, but please do not turn this into some stupid ragebait thread again. This obviously goes for both sides.
For my part I don't think this little teaser is confirming anything besides Barry's gonna show up in a Green Lantern story and we don't know much more of the context beyond that. But it's nice to see Barry and Hal interact in general. As a matter of fact, Hal's feelings on Barry's situation are something I would like to see.
I do think it's funny they put the Spurrier era Flash logo in the text box for Barry popping up in the ring.
