Pretty righteous, huh? I love that the artist has included their own rendition of what Jeffrey Dean Morgan could look like as Flashpoint Batman. It's precisely what I had in mind when I'd first heard of the FLASHPOINT project, and I think it's pretty neat that the character was included here. Joining Flashpoint Batman on the poster of course is Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller's The Flash, Ray Fisher's Cyborg, and Jason Momoa's Aquaman.
In talking about FLASHPOINT, Miller was quoted as saying, "I think that the emotional arc of the Thomas Wayne stuff in Flashpoint is one of the illest [parts]. And to see that different manifestation of Batman and his whole different style," said Miller. "And I love the reality that you have this universe that is so inverted from the one that we know. And this one factor remains the same, but in this flipped way. Batman is steady, but it's going to be the result of a different side of the same tragedy with Thomas Wayne instead of Bruce, and that's dope."
When asked if Miller would be excited about THE WALKING DEAD star Jeffrey Dean Morgan stepping into the role of Thomas Wayne a.k.a. Flashpoint Batman, Miller enthusiastically responded by saying, "Oh, hell yeah. I think he's amazing," Miller gushed. "And I think he would fall right into what is becoming a very, very serious ensemble of actors. I'm so excited about Kiersey Clemons. I'm so excited about Billy Crudup. I just couldn't be more stoked about the names involved so far."
What are your thoughts about the idea of Thomas Wayne wearing the cowl for DC's FLASHPOINT film? Are you cool with Morgan being the Dark Knight, or is Batman simply not Batman unless it's Bruce lurking in the shadows? Let us know your thoughts and feelings in the comments section below.
FLASHPOINT won't arrive in theaters until some time in the year 2020.
