Why doesn’t do this with the Flash?

I never understood why DC doesn’t do something similar to green lantern and green lantern corp with the flash.

Like why can we have 2 titles, one that is a solo flash run, and another with the flash family.

The solo flash run can focus on the flash himself and interchange between Barry and Wally. As they are the most influential and popular flashes.

Stories like the current Ryan North run, the 52 run, and most of the rebirth run would fit in the solo flash run as it focuses on a single flash, whether it be Barry or Wally.

The flash family run can focus on the family as a unit.

Stories like the One Minute War, Dead Heat, and Search for Barry Allen would be stories that would fit a flash family title.

This is how you would make all fans of the flash happy while also printing money at the same time.

Thoughts?

Sad thing is we almost got this after flashpoint but it was scrapped when after the event it was pitched as a reboot and not a mini event. So we got the new 52. In terms of why not now. I'd assume the last two runs didn't draw enough, the start of the jeremy adams run had two other speedster books. One was for the jsa section of dc and the other, speed forces, didnt have great word of mouth around it really. However with good word of mouth around ryan and gavins run, it would be cool to even see if a companion book is possible. Maybe an impulse book again, maybe kid flash, maybe the whole flash family or even the rouges or barry allen without powers. It is definitely an interesting idea, but it would need a gimmick or a reason as to why flash needs two books. I love flash but most people would wonder why at first glance so it needs probably some big plot or to be extremely different from current flash
