20 DC Characters Who Could Yet Appear In Arrow And The Flash

1. Wally West

Superman Harley Quinn
DC Comics

To many long-time comic book fans, Wally West is their favourite version of The Flash.

Much like the inclusion of Hunter Zolomon and Bart Allen on this list, Wally makes it in down to the likes of Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg openly talking about how further speedsters are under consideratoin for Season 2 of The Flash. In fact, it was even suggested that the show could feature an African-American Wally West, pulling inspiration from the New 52 version of the character.

As it happens, the decision to make Joe and Iris West African-American was with Wally West in mind, with executive producer Greg Berlanti previously confirming, “We made the West characters African-American so we can eventually head in that direction, absolutely. That’s out hope.”

With more speedsters on the horizon for The Flash’s Season 2, it looks like Wally West could be the prime candidate to make an appearance in the Scarlet Speedster show.
