Grant Gustin’s ‘The Flash’ Teases First Look At ‘Crisis On Infinite Earths’ Crossover

The Flash Grant Gustin Barry Allen

The latest episode of Grant Gustin’s The Flash offered fans a brief glimpse at the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.

Last night’s episode of The Flash revealed the events that led to Nora West-Allen bonding with Reverse-Flash as she discovered her powers and what prompted her to travel back in time to meet her father, Barry Allen, played by Grant Gustin. At one point, Reverse-Flash tells Nora about the Time Vault in S.T.A.R. Labs and the young speedster is greeted by the A.I. Gideon when she visits the secret room. After learning that she is the daughter of Grant Gustin’s The Flash for the first time, Nora is shown a video message her father recorded and the footage offered fans a brief glimpse at the impending Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Though Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen takes up most of the screen, fans can clearly see the red sky associated with the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic book storyline. The sounds of a battle can also be heard in the background, including Oliver Queen’s shouting, and Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen flinches at one point after something off-screen flashes. While it may not be much, it does offer a hint at what could be expected from the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event that was first teased in the pilot episode of the Grant Gustin series.

The Flash continues next week with the episode”Snow Pack” and you can read the official synopsis below!

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.
