Lauren Cohan
The role of Martha ‘Why Did You Say That Name?’ Wayne is extremely symbolic. However, it’s not exactly the sort of acting job that allows for major character development or recurring appearances. You rock up, walk out of the theatre, and you die. That’s it.
The Walking Dead‘s Lauren Cohan received the coveted role of Bruce’s mother in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Yet, you can’t help but wonder if she wouldn’t have made a better Iris West in the forthcoming Justice League film. While Iris and Lois Lane are both hard-hitting reporters, there’s a gentler side to Ms. West that could be captured by someone like Cohan. Also, it’s easy to see her playfully chastising Barry Allen for constantly being late.
Unless there’s a major Flashpoint storyline in the DCEU, it’s safe to say that we won’t be seeing Cohan again. Although, Zack Snyder does love his flashbacks and esoteric moments, so it’s highly possible that she may appear as an apparition or in some other form later on.
