THE FLASH Features Another DCEU Cameo Most Seem To Have Missed - SPOILERS

The major cameos in The Flash were all revealed before the movie even hit theaters, but there is one brief appearance from a certain DCEU character that most seem to have missed...

We had heard that The Flash was going to feature quite a few "surprise" cameos, and in that respect - depending on how you feel about how these character appearances were utilized - it did not disappoint.

Major spoilers follow.

Aside from some of the Flash and Batman's (Ben Affleck) fellow Justice Leaguers (Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Alfred), most of the characters show up when Barry enters the Speed-Force in the final act. The major cameos have all been well documented at this stage (you'll find a full breakdown here), but there was one that most seem to have missed.

While he only shows up for a millisecond on screen, Digger Harkness, aka Captain Boomerang, can be glimpsed when the camera pans past some alternate Flash designs. Played by Jai Courtney in both Suicide Squad movies (he was killed off in James Gunn's recent requel), Boomerang was one of the Scarlet Speedster's main rogues in the comics, but only encountered the hero for one brief scene in David Ayer's original.

There's a lot going on in the Speed-Force sequence, so there's a good chance Boomerang won't be the only cameo that comes to light as more people go to see the movie.

"Directed by Andy Muschietti, The Flash features Barry Allen traveling back in time in order to change events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to help. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian…albeit not the one he’s looking for.

Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry’s only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?"

The Flash is produced by Barbara Muschietti and Michael Disco, with a screenplay by Christina Hodson, and a screen story by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein and Joby Harold, based on characters from DC. Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Double Dream/a Disco Factory production of an Andy Muschietti film.

@Doomsday8888 - Yeah, there is nothing in the movie as good as those two quicksilver scenes. They try with the baby sequence but the CGI is so awful that it completely take you out of it.

You can barely tell. Wild that this is the only Rogue we get to see in a Flash movie; and in this fashion.

Imagine how more impactful this movie could have been if there was over a decade of on screen Flash media they could pull from instead of using alternate Bat and Super people...

Worst thing about this film is my video that is already shot and being edited on why Special effects aren’t special anymore is going to have to have massive additions after this dozy of a movie.

Im skipping this movie. Mainly because the entire universe is being rebooted and this movie plot could have been used as a major movie in a decade of films. Maybe Ill see it when it hits vhs.

I thought the first two acts were solid but that third act kind of self destructed the entire film for me.

@MrDandy - It feels like a writers strike happened before they were through writing the first draft.

Hahaha remember when Ayer tried to make Captain Boomerang into a roided out street gangster who had a kind for pony plushies or something?

Remember when Captain Boomerang decide he had no reason to stay on task force x when his collar was deactivated so he immediately leaves the bar, only to return on the team in the final act with no explanation?

Remember when Ayer did such critical damage to the character that they had to blow him up at the start of Gunn’s new movie because he wasn’t the big draw that he should’ve been as a Flash villain?

"Boomerang was one of the Scarlet Speedster's main rogues in the comics, but only encountered the hero for one brief scene in David Ayer's original."

Huh?
My memory isn't great and Suicide Squad 2016 was total garbage, but when did Captain Boomerang encounter the Flash in that movie?
Flash wasn't in SS at all that I can remember.

Henry Cavill was there too, despite people saying that he doesn't appear at all.

Nobody really talks about this cameo. I loved that one scene with Aquaman’s dad, Temuera Morrison, and the Flash is asking him about his wife the Queen, he looks over his shoulder. That scene was funny
