While doing so, he ended up altering the universe, creating one in which Wonder Woman and Aquaman are at war with one another and have decimated Western Europe, among other changes. Following its conclusion, the series radically changed the status quo of the DC Universe, leading to The New 52. DC cancelled all of their titles and debuted 52 new series in September 2011 with new first issues.[17] One of the new 52 series starting in September was the fourth volume of The Flash, starring Barry Allen.[18]In February 2015, it was announced that following the Convergence storyline in May, DC would be ending its New 52 branding, though the continuity established post-Flashpoint would continue.[19] In February 2016, DC announced another line-wide relaunch of their titles called DC Rebirth. Rebirth was an attempt to restore the DC Universe to a form similar to the one before Flashpoint, while still incorporating elements of The New 52, including its continuity.[20] Due to the relaunch, the New 52 Flash volume ended with #52 in May 2016.[21]Development and writing[edit]As part of the DC Rebirth imprint relaunch, The Flash was first announced in March 2016, with Joshua Willaimson writing the title.[22] A The Flash: Rebirth one-shot was published in June, with the series starting the same month.[23]Williamson revealed during a Rebirth livestream that he first approached Dan DiDio about wanting to write The Flash in Summer 2015,[24] telling DiDio that writing The Flash is “really important to [him, and] that there’s a story that [he] really [has] to tell”.[24] He also revealed that during the first story arc, a Speed Force storm would hit Central City. The storm would strike numerous people and give them super speed, with Barry having to train them.[24] Among the characters to receive powers, Williamson also revealed a new speedster named Godspeed who would act as the main antagonist during the first story arc.[25] To differentiate Godspeed from previous evil speedsters like Eobard Thawne, Williamson made the character more sympathetic and calculating.[26] An element of Barry’s character that Williamson wanted to highlight in the title, was his passion for “doing the right thing”. During the first arc, the evolution of Wallace West into Kid Flash is also explored.[27]According to Williamson, neither DiDio nor Geoff Johns mandated any of the Rebirth titles to resemble their film or TV adaptations. During early meeting, Williamson suggest the inclusion of character similar to Harrison Wells from the TV series to be in the comic; the idea was shut down due to not wanting to make the comic similar to the show.[26]Williamson stated that the Rogues are some of his favorite Flash villains and planned to use them following the conclusion of the first story arc.[26][28][29][30]Publication history[edit]This section is empty.
