There are a steadily growing number of characters that fans have been anxious to see in the main DC universe, especially as Warner Bros. Discovery’s plans for the true to life franchise have continued to recurring pattern. Among them are members of the Justice Society of America, some of whom will make their true to life film debut when Dark Adam arrives in theaters next month. In addition to that film’s roster, there are a number of JSAers that fans want to see canonized in the film universe — and it looks like the prequel comic for the upcoming The Flash movie just slyly affirmed one of them. Spoilers for The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #1 from Kenny Doorman and Ricardo López Ortiz beneath! Possibly look to be aware!

The issue momentarily shows Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Mill operator) holding a book titled Ted Grant’s Manual for Boxing. Extremely observant JSA fans instantly got the book as a source of perspective to Ted Grant/Wildcat, who has turned into a cherished feature of DC mythos since his first appearance in 1942’s Sensational Comics #1. Created by Bill Finger and Irwin Hasen, Ted is a top notch heavyweight boxer who has been viewed as an individual from the JSA for decades. He’s also turned into a mentor to a number of DC heroes, including Dinah Lance/Dark Canary.

While this comic panel doesn’t necessarily mean that Ted is affirmed to head the DCEU anytime soon, the Easter Egg is definitely an exciting one for fans of the person. And with a Dark Canary solo movie presently in the works for HBO Max, many have theorized that Ted could make his cinematic presentation in that context.

“Our whole presentation group and our amazing director, Jaume Collet-Serra, we as a whole have brought together, giant ambitions for what we want to do with these characters and the JSA and that multitude of new members we’re introducing from Hawkman to Atom Smasher to Typhoon and Doctor Fate,” Dark Adam maker Hiram Garcia told Assortment back in 2020 of introducing the Justice Society of America. “It’s an opportunity to place ourselves in the DC Universe, and really start to create a tomfoolery gathering of characters that audiences haven’t gotten the opportunity to see, however that a great deal of them are know all about.”
