ComicBook.com reports that Devon Graye (who you will likely best know for his portrayal of a young Dexter in the Showtime series of the same name) has joined the cast of The Flash as Axel/Trickster, the young copycat of Mark Hamill's James Jesse, who was also known as The Trickster both in the Flash's '90s TV series and in The CW series' continuity. Graye is obviously playing Axel Walker, the second Trickster from the comic books who was created by Geoff Johns. In this new iteration, The Trickster is an anarchist terrorist con man serving a life sentence in Iron Heights who helps Barry (Grant Gustin) and Det. West (Jesse L. Martin) to foil the city-wide attacks of a wannabe Trickster eagerly following in the original's deadly footsteps. The episode will reunite Hamill with John Wesley Shipp. What do you guys think of this latest casting addition?

I'm having withdrawal symptoms from The Flash, the 20th can't come soon enough!

He was actually quite good on Dexter. His scenes with James Remar remain some of my favourites.

Axel Alex is in this show to? That's interesting. I'm just excited they got Mark Hamill back as James Jesse/The original Trickster.

I am so goddamn excited for the rest of this season of The Flash. Pretty much EVERY EPISODE that's coming up features something I am super excited to see. Captain Cold and Heat Wave? Check. Pied Piper? Check. Reverse-Flash revelations? Check.

Mark-freaking-Hamill returning as the Trickster, helping the Flash bring down the SECOND Trickster?

CheckMATE.

THIS is the episode I'm looking forward to the most. The Trickster was easily the highlight of the old Flash T.V. show thanks to Mark Hamill's proto-Joker performance, and for them to bring him onto THIS show in such a brilliantly organic way is really exciting! And to do it while also introducing a NEW Trickster-- one who could still keep up with the Flash, since he isn't, y'know, eighty-- is ingenious.

I can't wait to see this damn show!

So we have

1- Captain Cold
2- Heat Wave
3- Golden Glider
4- Weather Wizard (Mark Mardon) :)
5- The Trickster (Axel Walker)
6- Captain Boomerang (Though they probably are saving him for the Suicide Squad team missions)

really just missing Mirror master from the Rogues to build the best version (IMO) of the team. I wonder if they will even attempt to bring in Mirror Master since he would be tough to attempt on TV... More of a big film villain imo
