DC Universe: Rebirth - The Deluxe Edition #[nn]
"Chapter 1: Lost" from DC Universe: Rebirth – The Deluxe Edition (2017) kicks off a pivotal moment in the DC Universe, as Wally West—long absent from the New 52 timeline—reemerges as a youthful Kid Flash, stranded outside the flow of time. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Gary Frank and Ethan Van Sciver, with covers by Gary Frank, the story explores Wally’s desperate attempt to reconnect with Batman, only to be pulled back into the Speed Force before he can be recognized. The issue sets the stage for a larger mystery about how the New 52 came to be—and what forces may have altered the timeline in ways even the heroes don’t understand.

Wally West, who has not been seen in the new 52 Universe, finds himself aged back to a youthful Kid Flash existing outside of the normal timeline. He appears to Batman hoping that Bruce will remember him and help him, but gets pulled back into the Speed Force before that happens. Wally recalls how the New 52 Universe was formed as the result of undoing the Flashpoint universe, but only Wally is aware that some outside force manipulated events so that some things were different in the New 52 Universe than in the pre-Flashpoint universe, including stealing 10 years from the heroes lives.
