The Flash Is Casting A Mystery Role That Has Many Fans Thinking Jay Garrick

Fresh off their scoop that The Flash is looking to cast their own Felicity Smoak-type character for season 2, TV Line is now reporting on MORE additions to the show. Fans are already speculating that the description could be for Jay Garrick, who was previously teased in the epic season one finale. Read for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below.
In addition to Wendy – is casting the season-long role of a classically handsome, square-jawed hero in his 30s to early 40s, a slightly cynical man “with an edge.” The casting call lists the character as “John Clark,” which is obviously fake/a nod to the DC Comics letterer. Though I must wonder if one of Clark’s works hints at the character being introduced….

If David Rappaport is indeed looking to fill the role of Jay Garrick in this description, they're making the character a touch younger than how he appears in the comics. In DC lore, Garrick is typically depicted as a man in his 50s, who has undergone various, unintentional aging treatments to appear younger than his actual age of ~90. Of course, in the New 52 reboot of the enitre DC Comics line, Jay Garrick was reimagined as a recent college graduate, just embarking on his superhero career. Perhaps The Flash is combining various aspects of both of these versions? That is, if this casting description is indeed for Garrick.

Tried watching The Flash, hmm not impressed. And I'm all for the comic-booky style it has, but its too but its too much of bad writing for my taste.

Just get John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick. Jay's from another universe so it doesn't have to make as much logical sense.

I thought he was going to be Jay when he was first announced.

I will say that the first 6 or 7 episodes were a bit Smallville-ish. From there though, it only goes uphill.

BUT, thanks to advancements like chem trails, GMO's and BPA created plastics, humans are looking older every day. Most men in their mid 20's have the body of 40 year old men, AKA "Dad bod". So casting a dude in his late 30's makes sense.

If Jay lives on Earth 2 he doesn't necessarily have to be in his 50's.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939

I knew he would either be Barry's dad or Jay.

He should just be Jay Garrick. I mean hell if in another world, we don't have Batman but we have Owlman who are basically the same person just different name, real name, costume, and other stuff why can't Jay just be basically Barry's dad from another world and he didn't have like kids and got a different names or some shit like that.

Multiverse never has to make sense.

Jay Garrick or bust. Wouldn't be crazy if Garrick returned to Barry's timeline with him. That's if Barry actually returns to "his" timeline instead of his prime self's world.

Jollem - chances are good its Garrick, but DAMN Classic Alan Scott would be amazing!

@Reasonnnn
Some of my favorites are "The Brave and the Bold" by Mark Waid, and Geoff Johns' stuff with Wally. Actually anything Mark Waid does with the Flash is pretty good.

Then there's Rebirth, which is okay but not my fave...
CombatWombat
CombatWombat - 6/11/2015, 4:36 PM
Basically anything by Johns or Waid is good. But I guess start with Rebirth since it covers his origin story and stuff...
CombatWombat
CombatWombat - 6/11/2015, 4:36 PM
Barry Allen's origin, at least.
Reasonnnn
Reasonnnn - 6/11/2015, 4:43 PM
@CombatWombat Thanks man! Didn't know Waid worked on The Flash, huge fan of his work

Smallville was an incredible show. I hope The Flash can last 10 seasons as well, it's been amazing so far.

Why so young? It's like when Ted Grant was on the show, for some reason CW likes their actors young.

I know in the past Tom Hanks said he wanted to play the Flash, and now he can't again.

I loved the first 4 seasons because those dealt with the original concept of the show which was "Superman as a teenager." From there though, I slowly lost interest.

Wow. This site has turned to shit. Thanks, guys!

Now I can get legit CBM news at at least three other sites now. And only tune in here for a very biased and editorialized take on the actual news reported elsewhere. Lol. Fantastic! Maybe y'all should all quit trying to be the next El Mayimbe. LMAO

Seriously. This site has started to not only suck, but also play fourth fiddle to other sites. Hope you guys enjoyed your brief ego-reign.
