It looked like this would be the last we’d see of Barry Allen’s arch-nemesis, even on a show that is now exploring the Multiverse and alternate timelines. Well, Thawne is indeed returning to the show in its second season. Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that actor Matt Letscher will return as Eobard Thawne on The Flash S2E11, which is appropriately titled “The Reverse-Flash Returns.” Letscher portrayed Thawne before the character assumed the appearance of Harrison Wells, and then briefly in the season finale as he was…

Meanwhile, Cavill discusses how Superman has evolved from Man of Steel to Dawn of Justice, his relationship with…
