But after Barry’s death, Wally takes over the role of the Flash. However, since The CW’s version of Wally is Iris’ brother and not her nephew, it’s clear that The Flash showrunners are taking a bit of creative freedom with the character.
The Flash has revealed the first look at Wally as his superhero alter ego Kid Flash. The Flash’s third season will take on the iconic “Flashpoint” storyline, in which Barry’s (Grant Gustin) decision to save his mother’s life results in an alternate timeline.
The Flash returns Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8/7c on The CW.
In this new world, Barry isn’t the Flash, which means Wally is likely now Central City’s speedster of choice.
