Why can DC not just let the Silver Age go?

Looks like the latest in the ever-increasing spiral of "Superfriends-ing Up" the DCU is the resurrection of Barry Allen.

Why? Was purple-armor Luthor and Jimmy Olsen as Turtle Boy not enough silliness?

You cannot deny that nearly-untouchable corporate raider Lex Luthor was a million times more badass than purple-armor Luthor. Though Diabolical will probably try. Go watch Blues Brothers already.

If it's Barry Allen as Arch Nemesis. That will kick balls. kind of a giant FUCK YOU to everyone who's been whining for him to come back for twenty years.

Good point.

But, for over a generation, Wally has been The Flash. Were Barry to come back and take his place, that would suck as nothing has ever sucked before except for the whole Mephisto wedding shit.
