November 2012?! That's ridiculous. Almost makes me worry that this Flash series will be as late and delayed as the last one

I still have reservations about Barry's power levels and new abilities (he's Shadowcat now?), but it was a cool sequence.

I've tried a solution - just bringing the Flash symbol down to the lightning bolt only. It does let the text show up better - but let me know what you think. We'll continue to play with the look of the forum. Also, take a look at the Walter West skin and let me know your thoughts on that as well. Thanks! That works really well and improves things, thank you

If I had any suggestion, it'd be to change either the background lighting bolt image or the yellow board text at the top of the forum -- when the yellow text goes over the white background it's completely unreadable.

It also changes them considerably -- they're not ordinary blue-collar dudes if they have powers to set them above everyone else. It makes them garden-variety super-people.
So honestly, I expect the tone of them to change once they get powered. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because Johns changed a lot too, but considering he wildly increased their popularity I question why DC is messing with success.

This evolution makes sense to me but it also creates a fine line. It does appear as if he can 'see' into the future. Manapul says that is not the case, but even if he can think of all the possible actions and consequences, there's no way he can tell what will actually happen until he acts. The funny thing is that I thought of Marvel's Destiny when it was stated that Barry can see all possible actions and consequences, because that's pretty darn close to how her powers were frequently described. And she really was a precog

Frankly, the Flashes in the past (and this might not be applicable anymore, because who knows what DC will do with their power levels after the reboot) were always grossly overpowered, IMO. Even DC acknowledges this to some extent when they opt to give the Rogues metahuman powers to make them a halfway decent threat, continuing an arms race to make characters increasingly more powerful.
Honestly, I'm not a fan of this. Overpowered characters are boring, and it becomes increasingly difficult to give them a credible threat when they can do almost anything. So while it still remains to be seen how this will play out, I don't really like Barry's new ability.

Hi there, my name is Lia and I'm an occasional contributor to Kelson's Speed Force site. I'm probably best known for my fanatical Rogues boosterism, especially of the Top. I have an exceptionally stupid Rogues Tumblr, as well as a secondary memorabilia blog. Probably not much to say about myself...I write Rogues fanfic but it's never been very popular and I've had writer's block for ages anyway. But hello!

At Fan Expo a couple of years ago I took photos of a guy whose entire arm was covered with Flash tattoos -- Jay, Wally, and Barry. No idea where I've put the pics, of course... I told him he should get Rogues on the other arm, and he said everyone tells him that
