Jeffrey Dean Morgan and the DC Universe

Morgan is no stranger to the DC Universe. He portrayed Thomas Wayne, the murdered father of Bruce Wayne in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice so it wouldn't be a stretch if he returned to play him in this storyline. He also played the vigilante anti-hero Comedian in The Watchmen. Jeffrey Dean Morgan reportedly said he would be excited to play the part 2 years ago.

The trailer for 'The Flash' shows the return of Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck as Batman. Unfortunately, Morgan does not appear in the credits on IMDB. Did the character Thomas Wayne get cut from the story or do we have more surprised in store?

We may have to wait until June. All we can do is hope.
