So the new DC mini event/celebration thingy is called 5G. Which is basically a "5" issue mini series called "Generation". Get it? 5G? Oh, those marketing guy ...
Anyway, if you look at the cover of the first issue we see Wally with a circle on his forehead that ... well, it looks like it has been ... edited?
Seen below
With good reason it seems.
And again, spoilers below ...
I have heard that it looks like that very circle will be Dr. Manhattan's little circle icon. Seems that is the news. Yep, that Wally will be, at least for this mini series I am guessing, the "new" Dr. Manhattan.
Now this is speculation on my part as I haven't read any of it, yet, but it seems that the last issue of Flash Forward will show Wally obtaining the chair somehow and then BOOM!!! He is Dr. Manhattan. Its comics, so, okay, I guess.
And of course I may be totally wrong about this, and hey, I am sure this is not a permanent thing (please, please, please not let it be) so this isn't a big deal one way or the other, just found it ... interesting.
And ya know what, if Allen Moore was just a little bit less of an ass and seemed to care about anything regarding his past work, I may feel sorry for the guy, but as it stands ... yeah, ya know, work for hire I suppose?
EDIT - Looks like I am the last to know as it seems this information has been known for a good bit now? How am I just hearing this?
Doing a little more looking ... here is an image I just found
