  - Wally became the Flash in 1986 to 2009, and returned last year.. Barry was Flash from 56-86 and returned in 2008 and is still The Flash as is Wally - Remlik Jun 12, 20:41 4
    - just because Barry is trapped in the Speed Force for a few years, it doesn't mean he stops being the Flash -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 12, 20:52 1

    - My calculations say 39ish years for Barry, 27ish for Wally. -- nm - Ender Jun 12, 20:44

    - eh. Barry was gone most of the time when the creators were kids, so Wally imprinted on them. -- nm* - Remlik Jun 12, 20:42

        (Kathy didn't help of course, but I tend to think this still would have become 'a thing') -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 19:27
      - Yeah I can just imagine Fox News shaking their fist at the heavens... - znufrii Jun 12, 19:19
      - Or, people were rational about a play that has a history of being adapted to modern situations when it came to Obama. -- nm - Reagen Jun 12, 18:36 4
        
        Frankly, the themes of Julius Caesar - the assassins claim higher motives but have none, and everything goes to crap once the "tyrant" is removed - - Roger More Jun 12, 18:46
        
        Or maybe it's a complex issue involving context and can't just be chalked up to "our team is much more rational than the other team". -- nm* - Ender Jun 12, 18:42 2
