The Flash
The upcoming DCEU movieThe Flashis run low to take the series into the multiverse . Star Ezra Miller and music director Andy Muscietti have teased many thing about the cinema , and a few cast announcements have been made . The biggest of these announcements have been the planned restoration of two former batman . Ben Affleck will reprise his role as the DCEU Batman , and Michael Keaton will return to the role as Batman from the alternate globe of Tim Burton ’s movies .
These inclusion beg the question , who else from past picture and shows might we see ? The Arrowverse featured many former DC actors inCrisis on Infinite earth , and Ezra Miller ’s appearance on the crossover confirmsthat the DCEUis in the same multiverse . The hypothesis are eternal as to who can show up . This article will list 10 former DC actors whose appearance could mean the most to the story and/or the fans .
Jim Carrey As The Riddler
Feelings onBatman Foreverare a bit motley . The film manages to tell a good , dramatic story with Batman and Robin , but the villain half of the story is camp and out - of - character . Still , Jim Carrey might be able to do something with a getting even to this eccentric .
While an appearance would in all likelihood be brief , a fundamental thing to remember about Carrey ’s Riddler is that he knows who Batman is . Or rather , he did , before his brainiac was fried . The Riddler ostensibly forgot Batman ’s true identity , claiming that he himself is Batman . But imagine what could be done if the multiverse travel reveal someone who knows Bruce Wayne is Batman , especially if we havemore than oneBruce Wayne present .
Mark Strong As Sinestro
2011’sGreen Lanternwas a flop . But most sports fan fit in that the best thing about the movie was Mark Strong as Sinestro . Strong played the role as if he were pulled right off the comic page . While Sinestro was seen as a Green Lantern and Hal Jordan ’s mentor for most of the film , a mid - acknowledgment successiveness show Sinestro donning a yellow pack , which laughable fans know allows him to manage reverence or else of will .
This is one of the many examples of answer " What could have been ? " Seeing Mark Strong take Sinestro into darker places would ’ve been something . The Flashmovie can allow many answers to what could ’ve been , and perhaps allow actor and stories to finish something they began years earlier .
Billy Crudup As Doctor Manhattan
ADoctor Manhattanappearance may make more sense than it seems . Doomsday Clock , the funny sequel toWatchmen , features Manhattan heavily . We find out that he removed the years and certain characters when Barry Allen fixed Flashpoint , result in the New 52 . He also watch multiple other timelines from the past and present .
The movie surely seems to be pull from theFlashpointstoryline , which can for sure allow the filmmakers tochange anythingin the DCEU . While it ’s uncertain how much of the plot line the film will adapt , it ’s light to see how Doctor Manhattan could fit in . DC can easily habituate the Billy Crudup version without affecting their current Emmy - winningWatchmenshow either . That ’s where the welfare of multiple ground comes in .
Joseph Gordon-Levitt As John Blake
The Flashmovie has the chance to show us Nolan ’s Gotham City after the end of theDark Knight Trilogy . Joseph Gordon - Levitt ’s John Blake , whose real first name was Robin , was left the coordinate of the Batcave , clearly go on on the legacy of Batman .
While Robin Blake was n’t go to become a grinder identify Robin , many fan wondered if he ’d ever been seen as Nightwing . The Dark Knight Risesitself points to Blake becoming the next Batman , as Bruce Wayne tells him in the first place that " Batman could be anyone . " As with other graphic symbol in this clause , even a brief show could assure us what became of Blake after the end of the trilogy .
Billy Dee Williams As Two-Face
This would be long - overdue . Billy Dee Williams portrayed Harvey Dent in 1989’sBatman , and the plan was that his fictional character would become Two - human face in future cinema . But when the prison term came , the function was recast with Tommy Lee Jones . Williams did get to lastly voice Two - human face inThe Lego Batman Movie , but a unrecorded - action appearance would be a goody for fans and Williams alike .
Since Keaton ’s Batman is appear , Williams ' Dent would be a nice joining to make to those films as well . If the new motion picture shows Keaton ’s Batman fight back someone , it might as well be someone we have a go at it from the Tim Burton movies .
Chris O’Donnell As Robin
Batman & Robinis often considered theworst Batman motion picture , and it effectively stalled the Batman franchise for eight old age . While Chris O’Donnell played a fair accurate Dick Grayson inBatman Forever , his office inBatman & Robinwas full of cheesy joke and synchronized at-bat - grappling alongside George Clooney .
Seeing an older Dick Grayson could be interesting . If he had a hero part , it would likely be Nightwing , which his last costume hint at anyway . While Keaton ’s appearance is rumour to ignore the two motion-picture show O’Donnell appeared in , the multiverse allows the filmmaker to habituate whoever they need . A what - if scenario where O’Donnell was Keaton ’s Robin can work just as well .
Michelle Pfeiffer As Catwoman
If any fan - favourite besides Michael Keaton should join this motion picture , it has to be Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman . Pfeiffer is often named as the good Catwoman , as she certainly stole every scene she was in back inBatman Returns . And with the net shot of the pic being the reveal that Selina Kyle was still alive , this could be another chance for establish what derive next .
Keaton ’s involvement certainly opens the door for Pfeiffer to occur back . While Williams ' Harvey Dent is a possibleness , this interlingual rendition of Catwoman is the one baddie from the Keaton films that was still active at the end . The death of Joker , Max Schreck , and Penguin most likely consider them all out , but Catwoman can be expected to still be around .
Jeffrey Dean Morgan As Thomas Wayne
Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a brief but important role as Thomas Wayne inBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice . WithFlashpointbeing rumored for Zack Snyder ’s initial DCEU design , it seems like we could ’ve gotten Morgan as the Thomas Wayne Batman in a future film . deal Affleck ’s takings to the character , this feels like a possible action again .
In the comic strip , Flashpointresults in Thomas and Martha Wayne surviving the brush with Joe Chill , and not Bruce . Thomas becomes a vengeful Batman who kills criminals but still team up with Barry Allen . This version of Batman eventually met the Bruce Wayne Batman , and that could easily be adapted inThe FlashforMorgan and Affleck .
Grant Gustin As The Flash
While Gustin is a current DC actor , but this feels practically necessary . Grant Gustin ’s Flash of the Arrowverse and Ezra Miller ’s Flash of the DCEU already encounter once inCrisis on Infinite Earths . Gustin ’s Flash provides Miller ’s with the name " The Flash , " as that name had n’t been used in the movie yet , and it institute the multiverse as existing in the modern movies too .
consider how recent this was , and the way of life it was mentioned during DC Fandome , it seems impossible that the movie would n’t refer this meeting . If the independent plot happen Miller ’s Flash deny the multiverse , he ’s snuff it to talk about the first evidence he had that it survive . And if he appeared in a cameo , it ’s only fitting that Gustin would get the same .
Brandon Routh As Superman
Brandon Routh finally got to return to his Superman inCrisis , and it also felt like a skillful path to wrap up up his portrayal of the type . But if any non - DCEU Supermanappeared , it should be Routh . Routh ’s Superman is still the same character as Christopher Reeve ’s Superman , and having that Superman meet Keaton ’s Batman seems like too good of an opportunity to pass up .
A Superman appearing would also be a good way to contrast the Batmen of the motion-picture show . While Keaton ’s Batman would be unfamiliar with Superman , Affleck ’s will have learned his lesson on that front . Whatever the filmmakers determine to do , it ’s clean we ’ll be in for a fun ride withThe Flashfilm .
