That's probably Wally in the splash page... I bet he'll come back with a bold new attitude after spending some time in the speed force. The other option is his son, aged to adulthood like Bart was, but if they'd do that then why not simply go with Bart?

That splash page looked like shit. It reminded me of the art in Millenium. And the splash page near the beginning, with the villain fight... nice way to save time, Phil, just cover the background in red and leave the characters in pencils.

What the fuck happened to Jimenez? Wasn't he supposed to be the main artist? He did like ten pages in this issue... I like Ordway and Perez, but they point of bringing them in was giving Ordway the earth-2 sequences and Perez the ones related to the first Crisis, not random pages all over the book. I could understand using several artists if Jimenez was as busy as Johns, but as far as I know this is the only book he's drawing. The whole thing looked messy and rushed.
