Not a lot of hype has been building for the Flash statue, but it's one that I'm really looking forward to. I know the still frame is a work in progress, and subject to change, but there is one detail that really caught my eye:
the unmasked Flash portrait.
I can't think of another statue whose portraits are as crucial, mostly due to the two men to famously don the Flash's garbs:
Barry Allen and
Wally West. DC hasn't brought Wally West into the New 52, which is a shame because he's the hero I grew up reading and identifying as Flash. In fact, I can't think of another hero who comes close to what Wally did, filling his predecessor's shoes and truly making them his own for so long.
Should Sideshow create an unmasked version of Flash, I hope they do not neglect fans of either Wally or Barry, and create a whopping THREE portraits to satisfy all parties. What are your thoughts?
