The Solid jj timeline is finally coming together, seeing as how Barry's mother's tombstone CLEARLY states she died in 1985, and Barry repeatedly states it's be fifteen years since her death, I can say with certainty that it is canonically the year 2000

Weirdly enough the dates actually line up with Barry debuting in 1956 (marking the start of the Silver Age) and dying in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" in 1985. I'm not sure why it's like that, but I'm guessing Zoom swapped out the original to mess with Barry and was building up to that.

Don’t take that as something did for decency sake; it’s for subtlety’s sake. If a payment is late, it’s inconvenient but not a big enough deal to do something dramatic about.

You know what really cracks me up about this? To speedsters, their speed is normal speed. So in their own normal super speed, Thawne watched Barry sprint off, waited for him to grab his super suit, change out, then watched him sprint back. Just waiting the entire time to deliver his monologue. Which makes me realize why it's almost absolutely vital that "no one knows Batman's true identity". Can you imagine being an enemy speedster waiting for Bruce Wayne to run off in completely normal speed, take off his suit and clothes, put on the entire batman outfit, customize it, and then come back to fight? Batman would be a complete laughing stock. In order to take Batman even slightly seriously, no one can know his true identity.

@The Damned. He was going back in time, to give Barry's mom spoiled milk... or to strategically place porno magazines in Barry's room, when his mother opens the door to check if Barry is okay... or to steal that delicious cherry pie, that Barry's mom baked for him. I mean this guy's pettiness is on a whole other level; to the point where Barry dies of a heart attack, never knowing if Thawne was the one who killed his mother... and of course, why would he have to kill Barry's mom?

@@athath2010 I suppose that could lead to some big moral quandary where he would have to choose between keeping his mother or having to send her back to her death in the past to prevent a paradox. Then, when he talks about it to the Justice League we hear the sound of Batman running in to hear about this, and goes on to explain how he has multiple plans in place to make lifelike decoys to replace people's dead parents if he ever "accidentally" ended up getting sent to the right time period, or just got access to any sort of semi-reliable method of time travel whatsoever. Barry: So I had to make a tough choice. Keep my mother, or endanger history. Bruce Wayne: I have made a million contingency plans I've hoped I'd never have to use. Saving someone's dead parents through time travel is one I've prayed to God I'd get the chance to enact.

[@jayjay86443]

Actually that makes sense. Thawne would run fast enough to make it look like a murder. I bet he'd even plant a fake cadaver just to f!ck Barry's mind up even further thinking someone murdered her when in reality, Thawne hid her away safely in Metropolis, stole an identity for her, she dropped a few pounds and did a lot of exercise to where she looks completely different, and yet her DNA matches her to herself, and Barry must've seen her in a Starbucks at one point because God I don't know. I forgot a detail: he's only showing her off _now_ and what Barry has been doing was groveling at a plot that had yet to be used. It would be so perfect. He's only thinking of this _now_ because he had to check whether or not he already did it, because only he would know how this specific cadaver would be made.
