We were first introduced to Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West, as the son and brother of Joe and Iris West they never knew they had, early is season 2 of CW’s The Flash. For much of the second season Wally was seen as your typical emotionally charged teen with flashes of heroism, but the season ended with a cliffhanger, and us getting a major hint as to what is in store for Wally in season 3:

Fans of the comics instantly recognized the seeds CW was sowing with the lightning strike that hit Wally and Jesse Chambers Wells (the daughter of Earth-2 Harrison Wells and nicknamed Jesse Quick.), and we received confirmation today from the network that the moment we all want to see will be happening.
I don’t know about you guys, but to me this might be the best looking suit yet from any form of DC live action entertainment, movie or TV. I can’t wait to see it in action.
Wally West will debut as Kid Flash in the season 3 premiere of CW’s The Flash (with the fantastically titled Flashpoint.), on October 4, 2016.
