The Flash Star Grant Gustin Speaks Out On Arrow’s Cancellation

Arrowverse Stephen Amell The Flash CW Elseworlds DC Comics Arrow Grant Gustin

The Flash star Grant Gustin speaks out on fellow Arrowverse show Arrow being canceled in a heartfelt post in which the actor shares his love for Stephen Amell.

Earlier this week, Arrow star Stephen Amell broke the sad news that the series would end after a shortened ten-episode eighth season later this year. The news shocked fans as the Arrowverse shows are still going strong, even getting recognized as some of the best shows of 2018. Nevertheless, rumors of cancellation or even the death of several important characters during the next Arrowverse crossover, Crisis On Infinite Earths, were starting to grow more and more.

Without a doubt, one of the most important actors in The CW’s DC TV shows is Grant Gustin. His Barry Allen has been around for some years now, and it seems that losing Arrow hit him pretty hard. This morning, he posted on Instagram expressing his sadness the show’s cancellation, and appreciating all of the work around the Arrowverse and, especially, what Stephen Amell has done with Arrow:

Rumors of cancellation have only surrounded Arrow and Supergirl, leaving The Flash safe for the time being. It seems that Crisis On Infinite Earth will feature Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen and some of the most important heroes of the Arrowverse one last time and it’s possible that a new line-up of DC superheroes could take their place. Since the Arrowverse will lose Stephen Amell soon, it’s unlikely Grant Gustin will also follow.

What do you think will happen to Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen after Arrow‘s done? Sound off in the comment section down below.

In the meantime, check out the synopsis for the next The Flash episode Failure is an Orphan:

Top Actors To Replace Ben Affleck In Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman’

Ben Affleck is officially out as Batman and it’s a pretty sad day.

Words cannot describe how sad I am to see Ben Affleck announce that he’s no longer Batman. His Batman is why I do what I do. In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I fell in love with his comic book-accurate interpretation of the Caped Crusader. It was a breath of fresh air and it felt like we finally had the one true Batman.

Three years have quickly sped by and we’re officially going to receive a new Batman for his next movie. Last night, Ben Affleck announced that he will not return as the Dark Knight in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and now everyone’s attention has moved towards wanting to know who the next Bruce Wayne will be. Matt Reeves is said to want an actor that’s around 20 years younger than Affleck while Warner Bros. wants someone older. My guess is that Reeves wants a fresh start while the studio wants an older actor for crossover potential.

In this list, I will discuss the actors I think can replace Ben Affleck as Batman using the parameters that Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. want. Hit Next to see our picks to play the Batman.

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender is an X-Men alum and no stranger to comic book franchises. The actor has shown multiple levels of range and could definitely handle the Batman/Bruce Wayne personality. If they go with the older range for the next Dark Knight, then Fassbender is probably one of the best choices to take over the role.

Ben Barnes

Ben Barnes is out of a job after The Punisher season 2 and he’s one of the best actors in that series. The second season tied up Barnes’ arc on The Punisher and the actor has already told us that that he’d love to play the Caped Crusader. Barnes definitely has the pretty boy look going on for him and I wonder what his take on Bruce Wayne could be.

Ryan Gosling

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Ryan Gosling needs to star in a superhero movie. I’ve always thought Gosling would make a great Batman. Every role that he’s done has shown us his capability and he could crush it as Bruce Wayne.

Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm is my top choice for an older Batman. If Warner Bros. wants to cast an older actor for crossover potential, Jon Hamm is the studio’s best bet. He has a similar look to Ben Affleck, and c’mon, the guy’s look just screams Bruce Wayne.

Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer is 32 years old and was cast as the Caped Crusader in George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal. That film will never see the light of day, but that doesn’t mean that Hammer doesn’t deserve a second shot at being the Batman. He’s charming, broody and will probably give his all for this role. Armie Hammer is a great option because he’s young enough for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. could work in a way for him to crossover with the rest of the DC Extended Universe.

Richard Madden

Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden is my top choice to replace Ben Affleck as Batman. The actor is young, has the look and definitely has the acting chops to play the duality of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Madden just won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television series for the BBC drama Bodyguard, so Warner Bros. may want to quickly snatch him up.
