User blog comment:ReverseFlash 2024/Future Newspaper - How does the date make sense?/@comment-5877032-20150430003354

i think he just want to make sure "the flash" exist in order for himself to go back. i mean just my opinion tho. so maybe he still have to wait much later for his existance to be born. but he does not want to be in that timeline anymore and wants to get back.
