LOS GUIONISTAS DE FLASH HABLAN DEL NUEVO WALLY WEST

Por lo que dicen, parece que el personaje vendrá a ser prácticamente el mismo que antes...

Venditti: Yes, Wally is Iris' nephew. But the circumstances of what that family dynamic is, and how it ties into the story, is all an important piece of how Wally gets introduced. So we don't want to get into any of that just yet. The relationship that Barry has with Wally is hugely important to the first arc. And how that changes throughout the entire arc.

Wally is going to be a permanent member of the cast. He's not just going to come into the series and disappear. He's going to be around for a very long time, with a very long-form, long-gain approach to developing his relationship with Barry.

Because we are introducing him, in a lot of ways, not just to the DCU, but to all the readers as well.

So we're coming in with no assumed knowledge or anything like that. And we're building the relationship between Barry and Wally from the ground up.

And it all ties into everything that's been happening in the series up to now.

It's all developed completely organically. And I think people are going to be happy with the direction we take it.

Jensen: The relationship between them, I think it has a great echo of the previous iterations of the character, where you see how important they are to each other.

This is an update on that, obviously, because we're not just repeating stories that have already been told. But I think it has a nice sort of echo of their relationship previously while doing something new and compelling that can stand on its own.

Venditti: We are going to be getting to the core of Wally and the character — and not just him and how he affects Barry, but how Barry also affects Wally. And also how the Flash affects both of them as well, because those are two different things, right?

So it's a relationship that's going to develop over time.

I do think it's going to surprise people. I do think it's going to catch some people off guard. But it's not surprise for the sake of surprise. It's all being done to develop the character organically within the story, and to stay true to what these two characters would do and how they would develop in the circumstances in which they're going to meet and become friends.
