1. This character existed since 1959. He was the first Kid Flash and when Barry died at one point, he became the Flash. He was the Flash for decades and the Flash that many people grew up with. You can't just change him.
2. He's one of the only male superheroes with red hair (the most well known).
3. He's one of the only superheroes with two happy parents that are alive and together. Now they both left him.
4. He's the comedic relief and funny and light hearted and whatever. Now he's dark, mean, dull and a gangster.
5. If you want to be more racial then A. You have a lot of black characters, make and Asian or something. B. You can't take a character that has so many fans and exists this long and just change him like that. C. There's already a black speedster. You could've introduced him instead of Wally as the 'blue flash' (what he is in the comics now)
6. All the fans would've perfected Wally wouldn't have appeared in the comics, wait five extra years, than to see this totally different character take his name and pretend to be him.
Even if you don't read comics, don't like comics or the Flash or have no dies what I'm talking about, please sign this petition and help us fans with getting our beloved character back.

Seeing this momentum grow has been exhausting but it confirms that I am not the only one mourning the loss of a character who defined so much of our history. We have reached a point where our frustration is finally impossible to ignore and I appreciate every person who has reached out to share their own disappointment.

everyone hates the new 52 wally west and he is an entirely different character in terms of personality and appearance please change him back

bring back the ginger speedster. he was the heart of the flash family for years and this new guy just feels like a lazy reboot.
i grew up reading about wally and this just isnt him. stop erasing perfectly good characters for no reason.

This new Wally West is the furthest thing from what many die hard fans had been hoping for. I still for the life of me don't know what DC were thinking in reintroducing an already established character and changing everything about him seemingly to appease a demographic. my question is why not introduce a new black speedster if diversity was the aim goal? as a fan, you almost have to treat this like two separate time lines, except well.. it's not. DC needs to do the right thing and bring back the REAL Wally West, not a fan of a petty criminal taking up as a flash.
