1) I agree that Christina is too young to have been the mother. Not to mention she didn't recieve her speed until after Barry was dead.
2) While a great link with this Patty character that TTT researched, I would think it is waaaaaaay too convulated, and circumstantial, for Meltzer to pull her out of the Pre-Crisis cobwebs for such a monumental storyline. I mean, honestly (and no offense to TTTs superb researching skills), wouldn't it just be so easy to throw any minor Pre-Crisis character that might have posessed speed in as the mother? That's not Meltzer's (so far) style.
3) I think it's another form of red herring. While the mother may not be Golden Glider, it might just be a female that possesses speed as one of MANY powers. Wonder Woman comes to mind (not insinuating anything here, mind you). But, you get my point. We're all looking for speedsters. What if it's just someone who had a medium-grade of super speed, as well as other attributes?
Also, I agree that the dialogue did indeed insist that Digger was the father.
Thus, I would beging looking at the Suicide Squad, and who made up that enormous roster. Then, start whittling down the suspects. Besides the Rogues, the Squad was Digger's only affiliation. And, I realize that the compressed timeline of the DCU makes it a difficult task to judge whether enough time has elapsed for Digger's son to grow to the current age. Still, that is a safe bet.
NOTE: I am not going to rule out Barry Allen as the father. While it seems Meltzer is stating that Digger is the father, that doesn't mean the character's not lying, or, hasn't been brainwashed. In the end, it may be that this is Barry's illegitimate child. One, perhaps, he had with Fiona after the (believed) death of Iris?
Or....maybe it's his and Iris' child. Dun-dun-duuuunnnnnn!
Or, Jay's child!
Or, even.....the son of Professor Zoom!!
Still, why would Digger take the responsibility? And, as Wednesday has stated, that would not explain his natural prowess with a boomerang. It's not like throwing a baseball. You either know it, are born with it, or learn it. To me, the kid comes off as Digger's boy.
So, take from all of this what you will.....
