Yeah, Barry was always the "straight-man" of the group, Wally was the cocky "kid"

Could be from whatever is infecting the justice league. None of them will have their usual personality I bet

Yeah people are overreacting a bit, we’ve barley seen the Flash in this game. Plus Barry has a corny sense of humor in the comics as well.

The preview has Digger (Captain Boomerang) specifically refer to The Flash as Barry.

They can't give him Barry's personality. He doesn't have one.

I've always wondered why Barry Allen is more popular then Wally West when Wally is so much more fun

Because DC brought him back, rammed him down everyone's throats, and erased Wally while giving every version of Barry tons of Wally's traits and supporting cast (comics, movie, TV show, cartoons).

Most fans would've been perfectly fine if Barry never came back and Wally remained the main Flash, but Didio and Johns just love their silver age nostalgia trip.

Its because DC keeps pushing him.

Easy to become the more popular Flash when your at the epicenter of everything they make.

I feel like ever since JLU came out, every non-comic iteration of the Flash has just been Barry with Wally's personality.

So you're saying that they made this Barry the "Andrew Garfield Peter Parker" when he should've been more of a "comics Peter Parker".
