Believe me, i am not saint (angel wings are not sprouting out, but devilish wings).
Can't help it, but after i got my comic yesterday, i feel like a total jerk
When Bart first took over the Flash mantle last year, i was one of those jerks that reacted violently in opposing DC's decision to make Bart the Flash. The previous Flash, Wally has been around for almost 2 decades and there is no way Bart can replace such a wonderful character. Bart just wasn't ready for the Flash mantle...
But everything change yesterday. Bart has proven himself worthy of the mantle of the Flash. He would rather give up his life than to decline that he is the Flash in front of the rogues without his powers. His short life span has not brought shame and disgrace to the Flash legacy, but has added another silver lining on it.
I am really a jerk, and a very big JERK. There is a rumour that Bart was killed of due to his popularity, or unpopularity in this case. But DC should have known that this was happening. Everyone oppose Wally when he take over from the previous Flash too. Couldn't DC just be more patient with Bart? They should know that it is not easy to replace Wally, who has been part of people's life for almost 2 decades
Lastly, if Bart was really killed off due to poor reception, then those responsible for Bart's death are not the rogues, not inertia, not the editors, but me, us, fans of the Flash. Wat an irony that we kill our hero with our own bloody hands...
