CONFIRMED: THE WALKING DEAD's Emily Kinney Joins THE FLASH As The 'Bug-Eyed Bandit'

Apparently Emily Kinney (who played Beth on The Walking Dead) has been cast as a female version of Atom villain Bertram Larvan, aka the Bug-Eyed Bandit, on the CW's The Flash. We don't have official confirmation of this yet, but Punkd Images claims to have broken the news...

Will we see former The Walking Dead actress Emily Kinney play a vastly different type of character to Beth on the CW's The Flash? Word is she'll be appearing as a female version of DC Comics character the Bug-Eyed Bandit, Bertram Brie Larvan, in a future episode. Punkd Images posted the pic below along with the caption: "#WalkingDead’s Beth.. @EmmyKinney arrives in VanCity to be #TheFlash’s new Bug Eyed Villian #BrieLarvan @SpoilerTV #YVRShoots @olv #HeardItHere1st." The Bug-Eyed Bandit was actually an Atom villain who created an army of mechanical insects as a means of pest control, but turned to crime in the process. We know Brandon Routh will be guest-starring in episode 18 (“All-Star Team-Up”) of The Flash as Ray Palmer, so perhaps that's when we'll see Kinney too. This has yet to be confirmed by anyone involved, but we'll update if and when that happens.


UPDATE: THR has confirmed this news, and added a little more about her character. "She will appear in episode 18 this year, which will also guest star Arrow's Routh Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity). The Flash version of the villain is described as a narcissistic tech wizard who Felicity must have a hacker battle with to save The Flash's (Grant Gustin) life.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Bug-Eyed Bandit's nano-machines cause the Atom suit to malfunction and Ray to shrink for the first time. He will probably just basically be Robocop until then.

If her powers do not defeat Atom her singing and dance moves will......

I figured that she was killed off on the Walking Dead because she had another project going.

The way she died on Walking Dead was really dumb.

The writers are better than that. I could have wrote a scene in 5 minutes that was better than the scene they wrote for her death.

And that's pretty sad.

Still glad she can do other projects now, I'd love to see her as a heroic character in the Marvel or DC universe.

"The Bug-Eyed Bandit"? Sounds like a Stan-Lee-ism for Scott Lang, actually.

This is one case where I think they should just try not to ever do a super name... just let her be whatever her name is. Also, Flash's rogues bench is starting to look a little sparse already. There is something to be said for stretching them out a bit with multi-episode arcs, rather than VoW.

David Ayer told a fan to have a little patience with a winky smiley when it comes to Rick Flagg's casting.

They'll probably announce it sometime this week given the winky smiley face.

I hope she doesn't sing every 5 minutes on the flash like she did on TWD

Hopefully she won't be killed off this show too. The Atom is going to need a villain to fight on his show, when it gets made. So show her on the Flash then Atom will already have one villain he needs to go after on his.

The things I'd do to this girl....

Seriously, the acting world needs more natural sexy girls like her, over plastic crappers or untalented fat crappers like 'Kim Kardashian'.

I can now name one Atom villain. Neat.

I still laugh when I think about the fact how stupid her death was in TWD.

I mean go for the throat and the not the bulletproof vest on the shoulder, for godsakes!
