Dan DiDio has hinted that Wally West may return.

The DC Comics co-publisher teased the revival of the fan-favourite former Flash on Facebook.

"Merry Christmas to Everyone!" DiDio said. "Even you Wally. maybe I'll see you in the New Year."

West has not been seen since the New 52 reboot in 2011, which established the Silver Age Flash Barry Allen as a younger, original bearer of the superhero mantle.

DC previously highlighted the introduction of a new character called Daniel West in September's Flash #0, leading to speculation that he may herald Wally West's return in some way.

Flash creative team Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato have said that West has been omitted from the series to maintain "a more streamlined story".
