So so sad that Bart never got his chance to go apeshit after Kon died. Cassie got to join a Superboy cult. Tim got to attempt cloning 99 times. Bart just became a depressed Flash and went into forensics to copy his grandpa. No, not fun, Superboy-resurrecting forensics. Regular cop forensics.

You know, there's a lot of things you can say about how Wally West treated Bart Allen. Dismissive, harsh, took him for granted, just plain rude. But the one thing you can't say is that he didn't punish people that hurt Bart. Like, Wally West set the gold standard for "over the top punishment of someone who killed his sidekick".
For those that don't know, Wally captured the person that killed Bart Allen, ripped his speed directly out of him, trapped him as a statue in a living death and set that immobilised teenager facing a statue of Bart Allen, forcing him to, in the words of the comic, "stare with eyes that take a thousand years to blink at the better man he could never be"
Like damn! Jason Todd hears about that he's gonna be trying to get Wally to adopt him!

The Rogues have a code.
That much probably most people know, they even had it on the TV show.
The thing is, the code shifts throughout the different Flash runs and also depending on what writer is in charge.
Originally, the code was very simple, very straight forward. Three rules.
1. Don’t kill. 2. No drugs. 3. The score comes first.
It’s so simple and I genuinely love, love, love it. No killing, just theft. Good. No drugs; no dealing with them, no taking them yourselves because you gotta be clear-headed to do the job. Double good. The score comes first. That doesn’t mean nothing else matters, it actually means that you can’t let yourself be distracted by personal feelings like revenge.
Quite frankly, the last rule is the first one the writers kicked out. The Rogues get written very revenge driven for a while. But they amend it by adding another rule and honestly that’s okay, I love that rule.
4. The Rogues take care of their own.
Meaning they avenge each other’s death, but also that they break each other out of prison. It’s basically the foundation of “The Rogues are a Found Family” and that’s my favorite aspect about the Rogues so this rule is important to me.
The next rule to be kicked out is the first rule though. Because for reasons I genuinely can not grasp, the writers wanted the Rogues to be murderers.
They didn’t have to be. There’s enough other villains going around, killing people without a second thought. The Rogues, as a group, could have literally just remained thieves. It would actually also make so much more sense in the larger continuity of things, for them.
But no, rule number one changes into “Only kill if it’s either you or them” - which is fair enough, society at large does have that rule too, it’s known as “self defense”. And then it turns into “Don’t kill speedsters”.
AND THE WRITERS STILL MANAGE TO BREAK IT AND I’M MAD.
So we’ve reached the point this post is really about. It’s about how the Rogues have an honor code. And how cool that actually makes them. And how the writers continuously fuck that up by rewriting the honor code and stripping the Rogues off their honor to the point of having them murder a child in cold blood.
The Rogues kill Bart Allen. Not even in the heat of battle. He’s walking away from them and they shoot him in the back. Mark Mardon, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory murder a freaking kid.
I’m not entirely sure how age works in the DC universe just yet, seeing as Bart is a grown I would guess 19 year old-ish guy by now but none of the Rogues have aged a day. The youth keep growing; Teen Titans and Young Justice all become adults, but the adults kind of all remain the same age.
Either way, to the Rogues, Bart Allen is a child. They even make a show of pointing that out before they kill him, noticing that this is not the last Flash or the original Flash, that this is a kid.
And still, with the “threat” of prison - just prison, nothing more serious than that - the Rogues murder Bart Allen and I’m sorry but that’s the most OoC thing I have ever read in all of the Flash issues and runs so far.
The Rogues, who played games with Barry Allen. They never wanted to kill him, they even say so themselves in canon. That they always expect Barry to outrun them. It’s a game to them, trying to outwit but not murder the Flash.
And the Rogues and Wally West? They’re friends. They have barbecues pool-side with each other in their civil attire, Wally attended Lenny’s retirement party.
But Bart Allen, the youngest Flash, him... they just... murder. Because they don’t want to go to prison. When going to prison and breaking out again is literally just what they do, all the fucking time.
The way the writers backtracked on the Rogues’ honor code and kept writing them more and more murderous and with less and less morals, to make them - I don’t know - more edgy or whatever is so frustrating.
Because if I wanted villains without remorse or care who just murder for the fun of it, I would be reading fucking Batman comics.
I am, however, specifically reading Flash comics because I want the colorful thieves who steal but also save the city if push comes to shove, the thieves with a heart of gold who don’t kill but all have the capacity for redemption in themselves as shown in canon repeatedly in the past.
This is... the worst character assassination I’ve ever witnessed in DC and I’ve seen some serious nonsense at this point.

Should I offer congratulations to Kon for being dead during the only time that Bart would be taller than him?

I may be the one in the suit doing all the running… but when I’m out there helping people, making a difference… you’re all out there with me. I finally realized something: we were all struck by that lightning. ⚡️
