I noticed that DC has put out a list of some of the relaunch titles for September. I noticed that JLA will revert to the original line-up of sorts (plus Cyborg apparently) and that there's going to be a "Global Justice" team that resembles the old JLE somewhat. But I didn't see a speedster on Global Justice. With Dick & Donna already on that team it's the perfect place for DC to put Wally. But I do think DC needs to do some costume changes/revamps for both Dick & Wally to further distinguish them from their former mentors if they go that route.
And in Flash ReBirth they JUST made Irey West Impulse II. I really hope they didn't do that only to retcon that back out with this reboot. There's some cool story potential there.
DC has a unique opportunity with Wally-- especially now that Barry is back. How many other DC heroes have a super powered child and a de-powered child? There's some interesting family dynamics that DC could really take and run with (no pun intended).
The writing was on the wall for Wally back when DC initially ended his title right before Infinite Crises. His retirement so he could focus on fatherhood was more than subtlely suggested. But DC shouldn't ignore the story potential they have to play up Wally's role as a Dad and semi-retired super-hero. Putting him in Global Justice and giving him ocassional cameo appearances in Barry's comic would keep him just "there" enough to satisfy many of the Wally fans.
