New Characters Coming To The Flash And Gotham Surfaces

 

Both The Flash and Gotham have wasted no time tapping into the deep wells that are their source material during their first two seasonsa nd, according to Mike Ausiello, some major additions are indeed on the way for both shows.

The Flash: With the threats of Reverse Flash and Zoom behind Barry Allen, one has to wonder who will possibly make things difficult for him next – and hope that it’s not another speedster. One reader who had Mirror Master on the brain asked about his inclusion, and got the following response: “I’m seeing nothing firm (yet) on Mirror Master being introduced, but here’s a curious new breakdown to wrap your noodle around: For Season 3, the CW hit is casting the major recurring character of Barry’s slightly older, slightly geekier contemporary, a guy who is as smart as he is intuitive. As such, this newcomer doesn’t buy Barry’s nice guy routine and sets out to learn what he’s hiding — all while concealing some secrets of his own….”

As for Gotham, Ausiello confirms that a casting call for a character previously codenamed “Valerie” is indeed that of Vicki Vale. Oftentimes a love interest for Batman, this iteration of the character will still be a journalist, only in her late 20s, putting a considerable age difference between she and Bruce Wayne. Something tells me that if the two were to date in this universe it won’t be anytime soon.
