Death has zero meaning in DC Universe #0

Ah, what a terrible reader I am--the narrator of this story was Barry Allen!  He died in the first Crisis and now he will return in the third one.  We've all heard rumors, but those seemed tied to the Green Lantern Blacknest Night story that Geoff Johns has cooking over there.

Now to me--one of the biggest Flash fans in the universe--this is both good and bad.  Good, in that I have always loved Barry Allen.  Bad, in that I've never wanted to see him come back.  He had a noble, heroic exit in Crisis on Infinite Earths.  Wally West took over and in many ways became a superior character.  Until recently, when DC seems to have made a mess of the Flash, having Bart take over and then get "killed" (as I think he will turn up in the Final Crisis Legion book).  Then Wally West returned, but with two kids and a wife, he's suddenly not looking very dynamic.  DC is probably having nightmares of a married Peter Parker.

I suppose it will all come down to the execution.  If Morrison or Johns are writing Barry Allen in Final Crisis or his own book, then I have some confidence.  But I always thought that the Silver Age Flash is a character that should stay dead...along with Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man books.  Nuff said.
