Could you elaborate on the whole JW thing? I think I missed a step.
Ha! It's okay, JW is pretty obscure lore.
Greg made a non canon audio play that was a crossover between his Spider-Man show, Young Justice and Gargoyles. Not canon, so shouldn't really be important in theorizing, right? Wrong. For one key reason, Greg said that he accidentally left a spoiler in the script.
That spoiler was later confirmed to be the existence of one JW. JW was mentioned by Artemis in the audio play and she says that Will is watching JW and Lian. This implies that a) JW is a child and that b) JW is either her child or Will's.
(I'm going to start putting pictures in of who I think JW is because he's adorable)
Greg later confirmed that JW is still in the plans for Young Justice just that 'the timeline has changed'. The audio play was set and written after season two, so it isn't hard to imagine whose child JW is supposed to be. The W last name, born a few months after season two, has the same initials as Wally's son the comics (Jai West), ect.
It's easy to see that the plans have since changed but like Greg said, JW is still happening. I don't mind the change. It would've been interesting to see Artemis find out she's pregnant after Wally's death and be a single mom but it'd be way more interesting to have Wally come back and then have them be parents.
Another thing that supports this is that Barry was originally supposed to cease at the end of season two, not Wally, so the original plan probably did have Jai West being born after season two. It's possible that when they changed the speedster to Wally they wanted to keep the original plan as much as possible. Then when the cancellation happened and they revisited the season three plan after a few years they changed their minds and moved JW down the timeline.
(yes that is Wally and Bart playing football while Jay teaches Irey how to fly a kite. Yes I am crying because of how cute it is, thanks for noticing)
I just hope Jai West doesn't happen without his twin sister Irey West. They're a package deal. Do not separate. Irey becomes Impulse in the comics and then later Kid Flash. She's poised to be a Flash when she grows up and she's 100% her father's child in personality and looks. She's a child prodigy when it comes to speed, she was vibrating her molecules through objects before she could even walk in the comics (which makes life incredibly difficult for Wally because he can't follow her) Jai on the other hand has had a weird relationship with his powers. Half the time in the comics he just doesn't have any. I could see him being an archer in Young Justice. It'd be really funny if he was the next Speedy in my opinion.
