This topic is probably beaten to death but hell, let’s beat the dead horse!

So to start with, let’s debate if Wally is really dead.

Well considering the show has never showed any on screen death that I am aware of, and kind of stays away from death in general its strange for them to kill a hero, but then again, young justice is a kids show with mature themes. Plus Wally is no doubt a fan favorite, but at the same time his death undoubtedly does many things for the rest of the cast.

Another point is that In flash comic books, it is not unheard of for a character to dissipate into the speedforce and manifest themselves later. Then again, Young Justice is not the most truthful to source material, but that doesn't mean it can’t draw from it.

So really there is a 50% chance he may be alive in the speedforce or dead.

So assuming he's not dead and just trapped in the speedforce, should we see him or should we not see him in season 3?

My reasoning behind why we shouldn't:

If they wanted to make Wally's death change the cast, and his revival of sorts surprise the audience, there is one way to do this, and it can be done with one or two seasons.

Idealistically, if you were to do this to any character, you build their character up to be loved by the audience (Season 1) Then you would kill them or have them sacrifice themselves as a last result (Season 2). Then leave them dead for a while, probably for all of Season 3, and then bring them back for the season after (Season 4).

Now given Young Justice has only one season, and we don't know if this will be the last season to end all future story telling or a revival to bring the possibility of more storytelling, there is a way they can still institute this idealistic way of things.

So if we do, it should be reserved for like a mid-season finale, no?

What are your personal thoughts on this whole matter of Wally and Season 3?

NOTE: Just so there isn't a misunderstanding, Nothing has been confirmed for Season 3 rather than Season 3 itself at the moment.
