Warning. Potential spoilers for Suicide Squad follow…
We know that The Dark Knight is set to feature in Warner Bros.’ next DC Films offering Suicide Squad, but Batman may not be the only Justice League member set to make his second appearance on the big screen this year.
Having appeared briefly in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it looks like Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen may also feature in Suicide Squad, with Comic Book noting the following shot from the trailer, featuring Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang:
The lightning bolts seen in the shot are very similar to those surrounding Ezra Miller’s Flash in the Justice League trailer, which arrived online this past weekend at the San Diego Comic-Con…
Given that Boomerang is one of the Flash’s Rogues, it would make sense for Barry Allen to make an appearance, particularly if we get any kind of backstory on the villain. Of course it could just be coincidence, and the lightning may be something else entirely. Fortunately we don’t have long to wait before we find out.
UPDATE: Well it’s now confirmed, via the official cast list, a portion of which has appeared on Comic Book…

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
