The Flash TV series is cooking up hype for next season as CW has revealed Wally West suited up as Kid Flash. For those following The Flash, season 2 ended with a bang of events that all comic book fans were waiting to transpire like Barry trying to return to the past, and Wally West finally getting that speedster blessing. Wally West was introduced to the series as Detective Joe West estranged lost son and around the same time that DC Comics revealed their new Wally West with as African American in the New 52 series.

Here is an additional of Keiynan posing as my favorite Flash out of the the whole Flash linage:
Season 3 will involve the Flashpoint arc where Barry Allen goes back in time and screws everything up. Have no knowledge of that then please by all means check out Flashpoint Paradox and stop wasting time by being absent to one of the best animated movies produced by DC comics.
Seeing Wally West come to life on a hit TV series besides a cartoon is beyond dope especially seeing the New 52 version which includes a different take on Wally. Diversity on screen is a major message because it shows people from all walks of life a different perspective other than their own or one that they can relate to. The yellow and red costume looks great, along with the detail. I for on don’t really rock with the personality of this Wally West but him getting his speedster ability over shadows the woes.
