Veteran actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan has sunk his teeth into some juicy roles in the past, including his turn as the delightfully terrifying Batman on lock down in the DCEU for some time.
Earlier this summer, Morgan expressed interest in Affleck can play the Dark Knight at the same time.
Recently, the actor spoke with The Flash as he zooms back in time to save his mother from death. In the process, he inadvertently creates an alternate future – one where Bruce Wayne is shot and killed, rather than his parents. When Morgan was cast as Thomas Wayne, knowing the director's knowledge of comic books, the actor secretly hoped that Snyder had this role in mind:
"Maybe when he cast me that was kind of the goal. Hopefully DC can figure this all out, and in a few years I can come back and do a Flashpoint Batman! I would love it. That would be great."
The DC director may not have mentioned an alternative part when Morgan was on set for Justice League, he once said the versatile actor was perfect for his adaption of Frank Miller's classically brutal Bat book. Morgan said:
"I have not had any big discussions with him about [Flashpoint], but I when we were in Australia doing Watchmen press, and I was having dinner with Zack or whatever. And he was like, 'My dream is to do the Frank Miller Batman.' And he goes, 'You would be an awesome Batman.' The darker version."
In "Flashpoint" Thomas Wayne's Batman lives in a very disturbing world, one where he faces off against his wife – who loses her sanity after the death of her son and becomes the Joker. The darker future world became an instant classic, one which Dean's downright despicable turn as The Comedian would fit perfectly as a extremist version of Batman. Of course, the CW's Arrowverse is already in the process of Ezra Miller has even teased, at least in ing.
Although a major event picture, or perhaps string of pictures, detailing the "Flashpoint" saga would be amazing, it would take quite a bit of delicate plotting to accomplish. Depending upon how well major event films like Justice League parts 1 and 2 and the double-whammy of Avengers: Infinity War go over with audiences, perhaps the time-warp story could enter into the DCEU. Early rumors did point to a possible Tom Wayne tie-in for Morgan in BVS. Although nothing came to fruition, it would be great if DC had something along those lines in mind. Because, to be honest, watching JDM sport the Thomas Wayne Batsuit and red eyes would be pretty amazing.
