It turns out, there was originally a nod to the fishiest of DC heroes in The Flash pilot that was left on the cutting room floor. Let the gasps out now people.
In a walk-and-talk deleted scene between Detective Joe West and Barry Allen debuted on EW.com, Barry is talking about coming back from Starling City, where there “were reports of a man that could bend steel with his bare hands!” No, that’s not Superman – check out Arrow season 2 to see who that’s referencing. Regardless, Joe’s next line does reference a Justice Leaguer.
“Yeah, and last month you disappeared to Amnesty Bay to investigate a man who could talk to fish,” Joe says. That’s a line directly referencing Aquaman and his above-water home. He also mentions other “urban legends” that Barry is investigating, opening him up to even more characters in the DC Comics world that could come to The CW.
