A) Except that the Flash did appear in Happy New Year!, when the League converged on Robin II, Lagoon Boy and Blue Beetle, and it was unmistakably Barry Allen. So if Wally is now the Flash, then there are two Flashes. If Wally was the Flash, then he would be in the Justice League, and if he was in the Justice League, then we would have seen him in those moments, and there would have been two Flashes. Also, Dick's progression into Nightwing was foreshadowed in Disordered, so that he is now Nightwing has no relation to whatever Wally's status may be.

B) I'll admit, I've never been to a Gathering or Comicbook Convention or anything of the sort, so I am not as equipped to debate on this issue, but I'm still fairly certain about my argument. I just don't think that this new timeline is here to stay. This is Young Justice; I don't think it will ever be a show primarily focused on characters above eighteen, and we are far too early in the show to have such a radical shift in cast that the new freshmen Team members get star roles over the season one cast. Thus I'm all but certain that we will maintain a plot line in 2011, and that after season two ends, that it will once again be the only plot line. And if it is the only plot line, then the only logical conclusion is that that timeline has been adjusted from the original one so that five years from then, 2016 won't be the same as in Invasion. If it was, then YJ would basically have a set number of seasons it could run before it began to repeat itself.

Also, yes, Young Justice as a show is very grounded and realistic, but Weisman and Vietti have said before that Invasion will take on a very sci-fi aspect, and what is more sci-fi than manipulating the course of past events? Perhaps Weisman does perfer a set-in-stone timeline, but exceptions can always be made. But now I am just grasping at straws. The truth of the matter is that we can both argue over this until we're blue in the face, but we'll only ever know who is right when we know who is right. I look forward to finding out who is, and if I'm wrong, I'll congratulate you, and if I'm right, I'll rub it in your face, if only a little bit.
