>>106623132>Barry tempted to undo his mom's murder is a valid characterization given that the entire reason he became a forensic scientist was to clear his father's name for the murder. Plus there's the whole Thawne thing (which shouldn't be used as a first movie villain anyway)You do know that was a retcon by Johns, right? He retcon Barry's parents being murdered by the Reverse Flash, the Reverse Flash making every waking moment of Barry's a living hell, Barry growing up a lonely and obssesed man desperate in cleaning his father's name, and so on.
Geoff Johns literally took a lighthearted with living parents and gave it a tragic backstory in an attempt to turning the character into a Batman that goes fast and is always making everything worse.
