	Because it's not like Barry was the first Flash let alone hero they met or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't mind them making a tribute in celebration of his return. He was their friend, and as you said he's the first human they encountered peacefully. It's perfectly fitting. I don't mind the indication that Barry led to Wally and Bart, because it's true and again perfectly fitting. Indicating that Barry led to Iris and Jai is just bizarre, and indicating that Barry led to Jay? And SAVITAR?

No.

	You're assuming that's what it means. Those branches could indicate something negative. After all, hasn't Barry's return started negatively impacting and hurting all the other speedsters? He is at the center of a current mystery, it could just as easily refer to that rather than 'Barry and the descent of speedsters' or something, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Given what they're doing to the Savitar picture, yours is probably the correct interpretation. Therefore, I withdraw my complaint. Of course, we're now left to wonder how the gorillas know all this, and whether or not there will be more people added to that picture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Excuse me as I ninja delete my other comment since, you know, too slow... Well, gorillas are very smart. Also, I'm holding out for a completely nonsensical and random John Fox cameo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That bugged me. They're scientists! They're don't go for that witch doctor stuff! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Technically, Barry may have used the speed force to super charge the heavy water that gave Jay superspeed. Pretty sure it was a Mark Waid-era retcon, but I may be misremembering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Blah! That's just... poor (Like the 1990's story which revealed the Crimson Avenger, DC's first costumed hero back in the 1930's, was actually secretly avenging the death of Superman at the hands of Doomsday, in a vision of the future the WWI soldier who became the CA had thanks to Rama Kushna, always truck me as the worst sort of hagiography.

Might it be connected to a story detailing the end of Barry's life where we discovered that as hie body disintegrated in Crisis, some sort of energy form was left that kept zipping along through spacetime and ended up becoming the lightningbolt which hit the cabinet of chemicals.
