While he has given the role enough hype, Morgan has been careful not to reveal any details about the character he is playing. Fans initially speculated that he could be cast as Tek-Knight, a character mentioned in the earlier seasons ofThe Boys.

DCEU Failed To Explore Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Potential InThe Flash
The Walking Deadstars, Jeffrey Dean Morgan andLauren Cohan, had uncredited roles as Bruce Wayne’s parents, Thomas and Martha Wayne, inZack Snyder‘sBatman v. Superman. Fans were excited about this casting, as Morgan could potentially play Batman if the cinematic universe were to explore the comic book storyline,Flashpoint.
Despite DCEU exploring the storyline in the underwhelming film,The Flash, Morgan did not get to play the role in the film as the story deviated significantly fromFlashpoint. In the comics, The Flash ends up in an alternate timeline where Bruce Wayne is killed, and it is Thomas Wayne who avenges his son by becoming a brutal version of Batman. However, in the film, the speedster ends up in an alternate universe whereMichael Keatonis Batman, teasingTim Burton‘sBatmanfilms.
By changing the storyline to tap into nostalgia, the franchise ruined a chance to explore an intense character, played by the apt actor Morgan. TheRampageactor earlier played an antihero role in another comic book movie directed by Snyder,Watchmen.
