Actually, now that I think about it, it’s been floating around since we learned DC was working on a “Crisis II” and figured there was a good chance Wally would be replaced. Barry fans pointed to Green Lantern: Rebirth, and speculation started going wild.

I’ve dropped out of the message board scene for the last couple of months, but last I looked the front-runners were still Barry and Bart.

Especially with it being written by the people behind the Barry Allen Flash tv show.

But yeah, these days the death thing is so over done that I don’t bat an eye. EIC of the comic companies might say “this time the deaths are for real!” Yet as they prove themselves with the deaths they have undone, if a creator comes with what looks to be a lucrative idea any character can and will come back.

I think its a big mistake to try to pretend that a death is “shocking” or anything other than a stunt. These are fictional, corporate-owned characters – any of them that are killed off can be brought back to life at a moment’s notice if its what the company thinks will sell.
