Fantasy TV is now The Lord of the Rings!
Heroes are moving to the Movies sections!
Given that DC racebended Wally, wouldn't it be hilarious if Berlanti and co does the opposite and have him (while in his true pre-52 state) be adopted only to piss off the Didiot?
That'd be awesome, Ginger Wally is the best Wally.

I'm game for Wally if and only if he isn't put in just to shoo Barry out as quickly as possible.
I respect the history of the Flash legacy and recognize the fact that Barry's passing of the mantle to Wally is one of the most important parts of it. However, it irks me when fan fiction writers and fans act like Barry is only good for being Wally's predecessor and ushering him out as quickly as possible to get Wally into the boots.
I want a solid season of focus on Barry before Wally is even mentioned. Then I want at least a season of him as Kid Flash. Then we can talk about making him the Flash. But until then, I'd prefer that they leave him out. Especially with the facepalm-worthy race bend. I'm black, but slapping darkened skin on a character doesn't make them more relatable to me in any way. I really wish writers and movie/television producers would stop acting like it does.
When do you think they should introduce Wally West into the show? Doesn't even have to be present day Wally, Wally from the future could come in as well.
If they opt to bring in Wally at some point, I think he's far more likely to be Joe West's nephew given Iris' age in this version.
Also, they don't necessarily have to 'race-flip' him just because they've done so for Joe and Iris.
My problem with the current comic Wally isn't his race; there's nothing about being white that is inherent to the essence of the character. It's that Wally is now a troubled teen from a broken family in trouble with the law. That seems way more racist to me than if they'd done nothing at all.
First post, btw, so hi!
I admit I haven't been reading Flash, but who is that? And who several in the thread are talking about?There is no New 52 Wally.
The New 52 is terribad...
And that's the Wally they intend to use most likely.......
