@Nightwingstan-n7r One of my good friends joked about "Reverse Flashpoint" being how DC was going to undo the Nu52. While that didn't happen in the comics we did get Reverse Flashpoint on CW's The Flash Eobard created a timeline where Barry was in fact The Reverse Flash and Eobard got to be The Flash it's pretty good two part episode
Before it fell apart, the flash tv series did so many fun adaptations of comic stories. I loved how they kinda did their version of Geoff John’s reverse flash from his run on Wally.
Well if you look at Wally's Reverse Flash, Barry kind is the Reverse Flash. You have a cop, who suffered amd accident and by consequence of said accident, gained powers and fight to "better" heroes (of course he is crazy and this doesn't make sense, but the parallels are there). Also, Eobard is a fan of the Flash, that gained powers that allowed him to be an equal to his hero. So Wally and Barry are each other's Reverse Flashes.
1:58 I like the suit for what it is personally, it feels like something a 15 year old would come up with on his own. What’d be even better is if this is his proto-suit and he upgrades to something that resembles the classic flash suit further down the line.
Yeah, this suit feels like sports equipment; racing jacket, running shoes, goggles. It's the kind of suit you put together rather than custom make, perfect for a beginner superhero.
Flash is what I’m most excited for but Martian Manhunter is what I’m most intrigued by. I’ve been waiting years for a Martian Manhunter solo series, he’s been relegated to backup stories and tie-ins, so it’s cool to see him apart of this new DC universe from the beginning.
His mask is interesting, impulse normally has the goggles. But I also wonder if his identity will be known or the goggles have a hidden identity ability or something like that.
@ I agree, they all have kept the same heart but the way they got that heart and where it’ll take them is making the absolute verse better than current main dc stories
I hope even though Barry isn't the flash in this he doesn't turn out to be a villain and plays a prominent role because his my favorite flash and one of my favorite superheroes
It would be an interesting twist on the classic dynamic, for the mentor, Barry, to get powers after his student, Wally, has begun to master them and become somewhat established as an effective hero
I feel like Wally's gonna be treated like the hulk and seen as a villain since he doesnt have that mentor figure in his superhero career. I feel like thawne might be apart this somehow too in a positive way
That would make sense considering Captain Cold has the Thunderbolt Ross stache 🤣 I think the lack of Flash family and him being the youngest hero in the Absolute Universe is going to make it on the level of an Absolute Batman.
Makes sense since darkseid is one half of the universe of pure chaos. He would be like a cancer to the speed force since all speedsters are connected to the same source
It IS about flipping the mythos. They are running out of ideas with the main universe that is why they keep churning out Elseworlds stories. It does not help the casual non comic book fan who watches the movies.
Or, OR... they just want to make stories without any restrictions to continuity or just a book with ideas. Besides, it is an objective fact that the average comic book movie/show watcher doesn't read comics.
I’m really hoping the next absolute book is Aquaman. I know there are two unknown but that is my first pick. I would want team up but no justice league until like a year or year and half into the universe
Aquaman seems like a most wanted character, I did love Jeremy Adams new series debut. That book definitely will have some ties to the Absolute Universe.
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure either Jeff Lemire, DC, or possibly both have mentioned that the speed force won’t play a role in this book, and that Wally’s powers will have nothing to do with the speed force. Once again, I could be wrong about this, and misremembering something, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that somewhere.
You’re right, but in his most recent substack newsletter, Lemire kinda alluded to the fact it might be in the story. I think it’ll probably be a factor but it’ll be completely reinvented.
@ I’m really interested to see what Jeff Lemire does with the speed force then. Whether it’s role will just be a minor mention to explain why it’s not a part of this version of the Flash mythos, or a complete reinvention of the speed force concept, I’m sure it’ll be super cool. So, I’m very exited to see what Jeff Lemire has in store for this new take on the Flash. And as someone who loves the original Ultimate Spider-Man, knowing that this will be the Absolute universes equivalent to that series makes me even more exited, plus the new Flash suit and the Rogues (especially Captain Cold because he looks pretty cute) look incredible!
@Wisp616 it's possible he could've meant that the speed force does exist, but not in the way we'll recognize or know. Especially since Wally will be the first speedster, it makes sense that Wally wouldn't know to call it the speed force imo
@ Didio hated Wally and Geoff Johns wanted to make Wally the focal point of Doomsday Clock. Didio threw down the gauntlet either Johns rewrites the story to shift focus away from Wally or Didio won't publish Doomsday Clock. That's why it took almost two years for Doomsday Clock to be finished the kicker is Didio was FIRED six issues into the project. But if you know how the comic industry works by the time you read the first issue the arc is already finished and is just waiting to be published. By the time Didio was fired DC was preparing behind the scenes for the 5G initiative which was Didio's plan for the future of DC comics. After Didio's departure the 5G initiative got repackaged as the Future State event
Okay Barry is..... THE REVERSE FLASH
I love this idea so much! Now I’m gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t happen 🤣

Calling it now: Barry is gonna be Reverse Flash.
So many people have said this and it’s made me mad I didn’t think of it.
That's not Captain Cold. That's Daddy Cold.
Omni-Cold
Im excited for this book a lot but I am at ur excitement level for the Martian Manhunter book
Flash is what I’m most excited for but Martian Manhunter is what I’m most intrigued by.
I’ve been waiting years for a Martian Manhunter solo series, he’s been relegated to backup stories and tie-ins, so it’s cool to see him apart of this new DC universe from the beginning.
Love your videos dude! It feels like just having a conversation and it's great. Also this 2nd wave of Absolute is gonna blow us away fs
Appreciate you! It’s been fun connecting with other people that love the stuff I love.
The second wave is gonna be crazy, I can’t wait.
His mask is interesting, impulse normally has the goggles. But I also wonder if his identity will be known or the goggles have a hidden identity ability or something like that.
I didn’t think about that! That would be cool. I love the Flash and am excited to see a new take.
@ I agree, they all have kept the same heart but the way they got that heart and where it’ll take them is making the absolute verse better than current main dc stories
I hope even though Barry isn't the flash in this he doesn't turn out to be a villain and plays a prominent role because his my favorite flash and one of my favorite superheroes
That’s fair, I don’t mind it because this is an alternate universe. I trust Lemire and excited to see where he takes this new Flash.
Actually he might, going by the cover of him HAUNTING Wally
It would be an interesting twist on the classic dynamic, for the mentor, Barry, to get powers after his student, Wally, has begun to master them and become somewhat established as an effective hero
Absolute flash is what I am looking forward to.
I love your videos brother, keep it going!!
Thank you! I will 🙏🏼
I’m so hype for ultimate flash i’ve been enjoying the ultimate universe a lot so far and I’m excited to continue with flash and green lantern
Art is so good for all of them
I’m not super into comics so I don’t really know what’s going on in the slightest but love the vid you might’ve just put me on to more comics to read.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Just sharing my passion and hope others read the stories as well.

Barry might be…professor Zoom 😧
Barry might just be a cop.
The biggest twist…he’s a cop just like in the main DC universe lol

Absolute flash is similar to ultimate spiderman 2000
Exactly! The first video I did on Absolute Flash, that was the thumbnail. I’m hype for this.

@@Wisp616he could be a mutant.
"FUUUUUUUUUUCK" that's the sound of Dan Didio hearing about Absolute Flash 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why?

I dig the new outfit!
Barry Allen=Absolute Reverse Flash.
Ooooo, that’s a good one
Mmmm... that might be true.
Absolute zoom maybe
Possibly
I hope so
I wonder what darkseid's endgame is for the absolute universe.
It's JEFF!!!
My name is Jeff- Jeff Lemire from now on
Why is captain cold JJJ, the one guy from invincible, and all of that guy’s variants.
Absolute green arrow? PLS
🟢🏹
Getting bigger? Its not even out 😑
Does he get his powers through magic?
Not sure yet! I think it’ll be a sci-fi construct but just not in the way we currently understand it.
Maybe?
aaaaand still no 1st issue
Ima say it, the speed force is dumb as shit and has been for years now
No, it's not. If anything, it enriches the Flash lore
@ no it doesn’t, it’s literally just plot bullshit 90% of the time and used to cover bad writing
@-.Outlaw.- that's your own opinion. To me it's great and led to some of the best Flash stories ever told
@ ah, low media literacy.
Yeah its good if it doesn't exist anymore or maybe if it is created again the best thing to do would be to put solid rules to the force
I’m getting made he isn’t saying absolute with a British accent
Wally West!!! ❤
The further erasure of Barry Allen and Jay Garrick from the flash mantle in favour of Wally? Doesn't seem to be worth picking up for me.
Yes
all 50 of Wally fans have been whining for years so they should be happy
You do realize that Barry is still to the general public, the most well-known Flash, yes?
@superioridiot3846 yes we know. But people have also gotten bored of Barry, both the CW version and the DCEU version, so yes, people now want Wally
@@slickchick5811 Majority of comic fans prefer Wally.
I dont like dc speedsters having 🥽 but since there is no speed force I'll give this a pass
