That would actually be pretty awesome
...Is that actually directly on battle.net? Because the file is "tyreal.gif" but it's spelled "Tyrael" in the game
But yeah, it would be cool to have glowy wings like that. Although I'd rather they be "full" instead of tendril-y.
Yes to the idea... but It's doubtful that they would be "flowing" in any way. The (Admittedly comic book) science behind Talsorian items wouldn't support that.
I would expect something much closer to the projection mechanism of the Talsorian Shield, likely just a small tech styled backpack while not flying, the using a telescoping cross bar to support a fixed wing more like that of an Aircraft.

My bad, I only based it off the appearance. I have no knowledge of Talsorian items beyond that, heh.

Well, I'd never take Fly for that, but the backpack costume piece itself could be cool! 
If not Taslorian, then at least some sort of energy based wings would be great.

I like that idea.

I really want Babs to post on the "scientific" explanation of this. It would be epic and entertaining.

There was one a while back explaining in all it's geeky glory why a Talsorian Mace wouldn't work...
Alas I can't find it now, so I can only assume it's met with a forum purge.

I remember that one. It was great. I'd love to see what he'd say to explain why or why not Talsorian wings are possible. I can imagine a few reasons, but it's just not the same as hearing a dev go about it in such a comically serious manner.

I wonder how Talsorian wings are supposed to generate lift. They're monomolecular, nearly weightless and can't form enclosed spaces. That's not good wing material. It's happily use them if they were added, though. Glowing energy wings are cool!

I figured that the explanation would be something like this, though, the similar explanation used for the Talsorian shield could be used (re: 2 or more Talsorian fields woven together to create a mesh that can withstand concentrated force by having the individual fields break and reconstitute while the other is active). Depending on the specific construction of the wings and whether they are mobile, the Talsorian fields could quite easily be a very good wing material. If the wings were based on insect wing patterns, the Talsorian fields would work quite well...
Actually, that would look pretty kewl... Have a pair of sockets in the back that the Talsorian wing generators are connected to and have them move in a semi ovoid pattern...
I don't think wings being able to actually create lift or allow the person to fly is really necessary. I mean, have you seen some huge characters with the cherub/bat/etc. wings? Sometimes, some things are just for show.
Like this.
