Batman v Superman BTS photo might reveal which actor is playing Thomas Wayne

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

"Is The Comedian playing Batman's dad?" That's what many people are wondering after a possible set photo from BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE surfaced on Twitter last night. People have been posting a bunch pictures from the Michigan set of the Zack Snyder movie, and one of the most recent images to land online features a painting many think is of Thomas Wayne. If it is Thomas Wayne, he looks a hell of a lot like Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Some believe since Jeffrey Dean Morgan also starred in Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN, there's a chance he'll be playing Thomas Wayne in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE. I have to admit, the painting does look quite a bit like the actor, but of course we have no way of actually knowing if it is him or not.

However, even if Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the man in the painting, it doesn't mean he will actually appear in the flesh in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE. He could appear in a flashback, but maybe this is just something fun Morgan did for Zack Snyder as a favor. What do you think? Is this a painting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne?

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE will open on March 25, 2016.
