What happened?
>>94760415
Nu52 Barry is pre marriage 60s Barry of old. Even the Titans are their silver age versions again.
Nu52 wanted to modernize him. Make him more relatable and human. DC didn't want any "old" feeling with all previous traits
>>94760415
Being a mature adult fell out of style.

>Modernize him
Might as well make him a beta hipster then

Why did they even bring him back then? Why not have a new Flash, that way it wouldn't have ruined Barry dying a heroes death.

>Why did they even bring him back then?
Because Johns and Didio, along with many basement dwellers, just can't let go their childhood

You have no idea what you're talking about. Johns started reading comics with COIE, Wally was his Flash not Barry. And Didio is the largest proponent of new legacy heroes at DC who wanted Bart as Flash.
Barry was their last resort.
