You Don't Know Jack! (Flash spoilers)
Dare
Who the hell is Jack?
When all the plot threads have been neatly tied and everything makes sense,
Waid had to leave me hanging with this Jack reference...
Ok so Wally has defeated Kadabra and he is regaling the gang with his
hypertime travels with Linda... and when they reach their original
hypertime, Wally says that he seeked out Jack... Walter corrects him, "You
mean Jay". Wally says that that's what he said - Jay. Angela tells him: "No
you said Jack". Wally says wonders why he said Jack...
Sorry, I don't have the actual issue with me... So I can't tell you on what
page this happens... But it's near the end of the book...
So who or what is this Jack reference about? Is this some other (no not
again!)hypertime version of Wally?

Hope not... things are complicated enough as it is. However, perception is
built into the Hypertime concept - i.e. you can find yourself remembering an
alternate timeline that you didn't live (this would explain things like
finding your shoes next to the couch when you're absolutely certain you left
them under the bed - one of your hypertime duplicates did in an alternate
timeline, but you remember it anyway). Since Wally's crossed zillions of
possible timelines, it's easy for his memory to have picked up bits from
another one, just as in the past his eyes have appeared blue (like Walter's)
in other series.
Somehow, I have this feeling that they won't be willing to keep it that
simple.

combination with a very uncharacteristic (and kind of unsatisfying)
ending of the arc, the implication seems to be that the fat-lady has
not sung yet.

No, they just know that if they -actually- went 'back' to the
Infinite Earths they'd be eating serious crow for years.
