So in Infinite Crisis, the Wally and Bart take SuperLoser-Prime. . . somewhere, and the Speed Force vanishes with them. Thus, no one who relied solely on the Speed Force for speed has super-speed anymore. Shortly thereafter, Bart returns from. . . wherever, and the totality of the Speed Force is concentrated within him.
But now Bart is, um, no longer with us. So, does that mean the Speed Force is back to normal? Or has all of it been transferred to Wally?
And if it is back to what it was pre-Infinite Crisis, then we should expect to see young Captain Boomerang exhibiting super-speed again sometime soon, shouldn't we?
I don't know what brought that on exactly, it just sort of popped into my mind. Probably because Boomer seems to get tortured regularly, and he'd like it if he could run swiftly away from the people (or giant eggs) indulging their sadism (sadly, Boomer is never gonna be fast enough to escape Dan Didio).

Oddly enough, that very subject just came up in the Checkmate/Outsiders crossover. Young Boomer is indeed being tortured by none other than the nefarious Egg Fu (God, I LOVE typing that) and keeps screaming that he can't go fast anymore, with Egg Fu pooh-poohing his denials.
Guess we'll find out with the new Flash book.
sallyp: One wonders what Egg Fu's explanation is for why Boomer wouldn't use his super-speed to try and vibrate free of his restraints and escape, if he did in fact, still have super-speed.
Giant evil eggs always overthink these things.
Eggcellent!
I want to say that I heard somewhere (or maybe I just inferred as such) that with the death of Bart, the big fat "RESET" button was hit on the Speed Force, so to speak.
But I definitely couldn't say for certain, as I've yet to read the issue in question...
