Apparently in an interview With Comic-Con Magazine, Geoff Johns announced he has a plan to do a Flash: Secret Origin
CCM: Is there a Flash Secret Origin coming up in that title?
GJ: Yes, there is. I will be doing the Flash Secret Origin. He's never had a secret origin book. You forget as a fan who's read comics for years and years and you say they just did Green Lantern Secret Origin. Well, Emerald Dawn was like back in the mid '80s, I think 25 years ago now. This is obviously for people today. I think sometimes people forget that there is a new generation coming in and this stuff has to be for a new generation. To a lot of people Hal Jordan is the new Green Lantern, and Barry Allen will be the new Flash. But with Green Lantern Secret Origin, it's a book now and that book actually outsells the other GL trades because you look at it if you're in a bookstore or whatever and that's the first one you'll pick up because it looks like that's the first volume. That's why I want to do a Flash Secret Origin because I like those origin stories. I think they're timeless and I also think that the Flash Secret Origin will be one of those books that you can hand to anybody.
I for one actually want this Secret Origin story because Barry is the only major character that never got a Post-Crisis origin story

Interesting. Though I wonder how much will just be rehash of stuff we saw in the flashbacks during Rebirth. Hopefully it'll be good though I expect it will include the changes Reverse-Flash made in Rebirth (like the death of Nora Allen) which I think kind of defeats the purpose of the origin. It'll make it look like it's always been that way and that the time stream wasn't messed up by Thawne probably.

I'd love to see this, but am so leery of the million and one retcons Johns will no doubt put in there. I'd enjoy his work so much more if not for the retcons.

I'd rather have a Year One...I'm extremely weary(and uncomfortable) of this.

I'd rather have a Year One...I'm extremely weary(and uncomfortable) of this. Secret Origin...Year One...is there really a difference? Both go back and retell a new version of the origin and early career of a hero.
