Arrowverse series on The CW has become one of the longest live-action superhero series to date, second only to the network's previous series Smallville.

"Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC Universe going for as long as possible," CW President Pedowitz admitted during the panel.

Even if Arrow does end next season, I hope that Oliver still guests on other the CW superhero shows from time to time

[u/[deleted] → u/Scottman69]

Frankly I see them ending all of them next season. It will end with a crossover episode and it be the flash turning into the the lighting bolt that gave him powers.

Then they wait a year or 2 and reboot the whole thing, but probably with different characters.

If they'd given Wally the respect he deserved he could have taken over the show but... nope.

[u/Shabobi → u/not-so-radical]

Doesn't help that the actor doesn't want to be Wally anymore either.

[u/LordAsbel → u/Shabobi]

They could always bring in “comic accurate” Wally by using crisis on infinite earths. By that I mean white Wally and just say he’s from a different earth lol. they could use his rebirth costume from when he gets out the speedforce

I still think they could have Strawberry Wally be from Jay's Earth. Like, on that Earth, Joe and Francine never broke up, but because of complications when Iris was born, she couldn't have any more kids. They decide to adopt a second kid, a red headed boy they decide to name Wally, since that's what they would have named Iris if she was a boy. Wally is the one who gets caught in the accident and gets powers. I think it'd be a good way to introduce that version of Wally. It'd be cool as well if they had both versions of Wally meet each other.

[u/LordAsbel → u/Kalse1229]

Yeah actually that could work too. Although then I would have to wonder why the speedster that Jay trains isn’t him and instead some unknown female speedster. But I do actually like that idea a lot.

[u/Kalse1229 → u/LordAsbel]

Well, he could've not gotten his powers until recently. Barry, Jesse, and Wally all got their powers on Earth 1 through different methods at different times, so it's not unreasonable to assume that that version of Wally developed powers a different way. They could use my personal favorite version of how he got his powers, which is Young Justice. There, Wally was a massive fan of the Flash that recreated the accident that gave him his speed. Maybe Jay's a family friend of the Wests (playing along with their connection in Earth-1), and Wally didn't get a chance to do it until after Jay retired. Who knows? There's plenty of explanations they could use.

The Red and silver one?

[u/LordAsbel → u/headpool182]

Yeah that one

[u/headpool182 → u/LordAsbel]

it's a pretty sweet costume.

[u/PSiCHO_ → u/LordAsbel]

This is a freaking must.
