THE FLASH Now Reportedly Confirmed For Appearance In BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN
Is this movie Batman Vs. Superman or Justice League? Hot on the heels of the news that Gal Gadot will be playing 'Wonder Woman' in the Zack Snyder helmed follow-up to Man of Steel, Variety has now confirmed earlier reports that The Flash will also make an appearance!
Buried in Variety's report about Gal Gadot being cast as Wonder Woman (you can read more on that - including the first comments on the news from director Zack Snyder - by clicking HERE) is confirmation from Variety that 'The Flash' will indeed make an appearance in Batman Vs. Superman. However, with the site promising cameos from "several" other members of DC's superhero team (more on both that and which 300 star Warner Bros. are looking at for the villain can be found HERE), you would be forgiven for thinking that this is in fact a Justice League movie! It's worth noting that while they say that Wonder Woman and The Flash are now locks, they don't know whether that will entail a "significant role or a cameo".
Of course, this leads us to wonder (no pun intended) exactly what Warner Bros. have up their sleeve for "Batman Vs. Superman". With rumours that 'Doomsday' will also be featured, will we kick things off with the World's Finest, only to see them later joined by the rest of the Justice League? That would of course lead perfectly into a movie featuring the entire superhero team! However, with 'The Flash' also now confirmed, it's inevitable that fans will be speculating about whether or not we'll see Grant Gustin in this role, especially as the first season of the CW series will have only just ended - providing it gets a full season order - by the time Batman Vs. Superman is released.
