do you ever think about how barry allen’s name was originally barrence – that it was outright stated in panel – until some writer came along and just decided it should be bartholomew instead and,,, wrote it in. just like that. changed a character’s established name because why not. comics are truly wild
Barrence? 😂 Can… can I have a source, cause I am dying here.
what’s funny is that he was called barrence all throughout silver/bronze age comics
and then when kurt busiek and mark waid were discussing naming bart allen/impulse, kurt recollected in the flash companion book that “i suggested that mark call him bart, short for ‘bartholemew’, as a way of naming him after his grandfather, but not using the nickname. mark liked the idea a lot, but then both of us realized at the same instant that barry’s actual first name had been ‘barrence’. we were crestfallen for a few seconds — two comic geeks going, ‘no, wait, crap’ over burgers and a piece of trivia; i’m sure it was a sight to see — before mark pointed out that nobody knew barry’s real name except geeks like us” skhdkscksdbjwhedskjdks
