Letter From Thomas Wayne to Bruce

Letter from Thomas Wayne to Bruce

Dear son: Regarding life, I know that some things happen by chance, but others are under our control.

His mother was murdered and his father was imprisoned in his childhood. They haunted Barry Allen like ghosts. When he became the Flash, he got rid of them and was reborn.

He found love, family, and friends more than ever before (ps).

Barry felt that he had let go of the past, but someone didn't want him to escape from it. This is the origin of the Flashpoint incident. When he came to me for help, I initially planned to turn him away.

I am not the protagonist of this story, nor do I want to be the protagonist.

I am just a poor man who is drowning in the pain of the past.

My hands are stained with too much blood to be called a good person.

I even have no attachment to life and living. Even if the Atlanteans destroyed Europe, even if the world was facing a doomsday crisis, Cyborg found me and hoped that I would join his team of heroes, I had no interest.

Until the Flash called out that name, Bruce.

I have found the meaning of life again. No matter what, I want to bring back the reality that you are alive.

From your friends, I learned about the matter. From your story, I understood a truth - our lives should not only be lived for those who have passed away, but also for those who are still around.

Thank God for giving me a second chance. In the rest of my life, I will live like... like you should be.

All parents want their children to get the best things in the world.

I hope you can be happy. Promise me that you will try your best. I will too, no matter where I am.

Your father who loves you forever, Thomas

Thomas actually wrote two letters to Bruce.

One is in the "Flashpoint" comic, which appeared in 2011.

Because "Flashpoint" was a great success, it became a rare classic of DC - it was not rare at that time, and there were quite a lot of DC classics at that time. Now... It's hard to say now. DC can only rely on its old capital. In 2022, it pulled out the Flashpoint incident and wrote a "sequel", which is "Flashpoint: Beyond".

"Flashpoint: Beyond" is not as amazing as "Flashpoint", but it is also above the passing line. If you read it together with "Flashpoint", the experience can reach 80 points.

In "Flashpoint: Beyond", Thomas's family letter appears again, and compared with the last time, a small part of the sentence is slightly adjusted.

In fact, the content of the two letters is not much different. The core meaning is actually the first sentence of the letter: Life is very stupid, and there are often accidents that we cannot control, but we can also control the rest and choose to make life happy.

In order to fit the plot of this novel, I made a slight adjustment to the letter again-still no essential changes, after all, the ending of the novel is different from the original plot.

Finally, ps also appeared in the letter, which is the sentence "I have never found a friend before."

This is the original words in "Flashpoint: Beyond". I personally think that Thomas is talking about more than Barry Allen. Barry Allen's experience of losing his mother is very similar to Thomas and Bruce. Old Thomas is talking about Barry on the surface, but in fact he is also talking about himself.

Before meeting Barry Allen, Thomas had no friends, was alone, closed in his heart, and was alone.

Thomas came back to life for the second time only after meeting Barry and knowing the reality of his son's existence.
